Is it just me or was tech more fun a decade ago. All this AI stuff is missing the silliness, like naming your AI after a fictional dragon.

My guess is that in the past, the tech worked but was complex so they used fun mascots to make it more approachable. Whereas AI has a more fake it till you make it strategy.

There is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

It feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

It offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster-i always just ask the monster.”

There are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

For when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face.

Love the Merlin reference

New law. LLMs will only be accessible in very particular forms. Engaging with an LLM will be more like visiting the Oracle of Delphi. You’ll have to travel to some remote location and ask the LLM in person. It will then respond in riddles or vague prophecies that leave a lot open to interpretation. This will be the only legal way to use an LLM.

“It was revealed to me in a dream.”

I, too, did not kill Partysnaxx

You ask an ancient dragon who talks to you in riddles, I hallucinate visions from the gods themselves, we’re not the same.

It revealed itself to me in a tarot session

Man fuck you. Why you gotta end it there? What did the dragon say?

Who’s ask Grok?
