I...I asked GPT-4 to do Genesis 2 in the same style. It's not verse-for-verse, but there's a lot here I could use if I wanted to continue.<br /><br />Sure, I can try to do that. Here's my translation of Genesis 2 verse by verse using only words starting with the letter A:<br /><br />1. And all above and around are accomplished. Almighty and all animals are at an armistice.<br />2. And Almighty achieved all actions at another afternoon. And Almighty announced a cessation after all actions.<br />3. And Almighty acclaimed another afternoon as a celebration after accomplishing all actions above and around.<br />4. And Almighty articulated Adam's anatomy after ashes and air, and animated Adam after applying air across Adam's aperture.<br />5. And Almighty allocated an area as an abode for Adam: an arboretum called Eden, abundant with apples and apricots.<br />6. And a aquifer arose across Eden, allowing agriculture and arboriculture.<br />7. And Almighty appointed Adam as administrator of Eden, asking Adam to attend all arboreal apples and apricots.<br />8. And Almighty acknowledged Adam's aloneness as adverse, announcing "Adam alone is abhorrent; I'll arrange an ally for Adam."<br />9. And Almighty assembled all animals before Adam: abyssal animals like anchovies and angelfish; aerial animals like albatrosses and avocets; ambling animals like antelopes and armadillos; asking Adam to assign appellations for all animals.<br />10. And Adam assigned appellations for all abyssal, aerial, and ambling animals; but among all animals, Adam acquired no ally.<br />11. And Almighty applied anesthesia on Adam; and after abscising a rib from Adam's abdomen, Almighty attached the aperture again.<br />12. And Almighty altered the rib into another anthropic anatomy: Ava; accompanying Ava to Adam.<br />13. And Adam acclaimed "At last! Another anthropic anatomy! Anatomically akin to me! I'll address her 'Ava', after she arose from me."<br />14. Afterward, both are attached as associates: Ava abandoning her ancestors; Adam abandoning his ancestors; both adhering affectionately.<br /><br />I hope this is what you wanted me to do.<br />Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141040566131538098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106890883561797850.post-61430307449318556082022-11-13T07:40:54.033-08:002022-11-13T07:40:54.033-08:00You missed Octavia Butler!You missed Octavia Butler!Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055767588775335860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106890883561797850.post-89746484462762827182022-08-03T07:25:14.335-07:002022-08-03T07:25:14.335-07:00This is only a good argument if you assume that GP...This is only a good argument if you assume that GPT knows what "false" means.<br /><br />But it doesn't, precisely because it has no experience of the world allowing it to relate the words "true" and "false" (or any other words) to the world.<br /><br />The reason it is likely to produce "the passage above is false," rather than "the passage above is true," is because that is statistically a more likely commentary on the passage. Not because "the passage above is false" is a true statement, except via the fact that people who produce language, unknown to GPT, are trying to say things that are actually true.entirelyuselesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422102436356978880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106890883561797850.post-83192841960194039362021-11-29T22:34:30.167-08:002021-11-29T22:34:30.167-08:00xxl stofftier I think this is an informative post ...<a href="https://dinosaurier.store/products/xxl-dinosaurier-stofftier-bis-zu-160cm-t-rex-mega-gross-kuscheltier-dino" rel="nofollow">xxl stofftier</a> I think this is an informative post and it is very useful and knowledgeable. therefore, I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article.rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13970565571904836722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106890883561797850.post-38455822196207554842021-07-10T14:36:22.969-07:002021-07-10T14:36:22.969-07:00I have a similar thought.

You might be interested in the current topic I am trying to pursue as a doctoral thesis: The Meaning of Life and Fractal Geometry. <br />Isn't it interesting that planets mimic the structure of solar systems which mimic the structure of galaxies which mimic the structure of....? So that's going larger with the fractal. What's going smaller? Dandelions have something similar to what you're describing- the propagation stage of their life cycle is to spread a seed out into the wind and grow wherever you land. Perhaps galactic life spreads the same way?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605830096461162598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106890883561797850.post-56856899538988113292021-05-31T03:13:13.717-07:002021-05-31T03:13:13.717-07:00The shape of the wings drives me crazy as a grown ...The shape of the wings drives me crazy as a grown up, but my kids have never mentioned it.tpmotdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456475608512277499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106890883561797850.post-23077817220264059252021-05-30T20:19:33.658-07:002021-05-30T20:19:33.658-07:00Thank you for doing the research I always wanted, ...Thank you for doing the research I always wanted, but never wanted to do myself.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216566053869767069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106890883561797850.post-77871211270265841042020-08-18T06:32:15.460-07:002020-08-18T06:32:15.460-07:00Ads are the poop in this analogy.

All I knew is that in the beginning, Robin Hood and all those other guys were on a Crusade, and that's it. Everything else was cloudy and confusing. Why did they put Robin Hood in the stocks? Was it because he punched that guy for no reason? The movie moves on to that little town that gets raided by those kids with creepy masks on. What was that all about? I don't think they ever explained why they were wearing masks and what they wanted or what the point of their appearances were. There were a lot of battle scenes, which were exciting to some extent, but they were outweighed by long, boring scenes with people just talking. And what were they talking about?? The accents, I think were either over-exaggerated, or badly done, because I had no idea what any of the characters were saying half the time. And what was with Russel Crowe?<br /><br />See more: <a href="http://moviesbox.live/robin-hood-cast.html" rel="nofollow">Robin Hood cast</a> - – Hot film 2018<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04122447367141790244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106890883561797850.post-8202056776627464162017-12-21T10:19:47.907-08:002017-12-21T10:19:47.907-08:00The signs are great!

Consider the unit sphere in n dimensions. Fix a small positive epsilon. Consider an "equator" n-1 sphere (or "great circle") on this n sphere. As n goes to infinity, the fraction of the surface area that is within epsilon of this equator goes to 1.<br /><br />Another way to put this is that in high enough dimension, any two randomly chosen vectors are almost certain to be within epsilon of perpendicular.<br /><br />I'm not quite sure how to get this to yield the results you mentioned, but it may be related.Kenny Easwaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750686750633434797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106890883561797850.post-19067839597418490002017-06-13T06:40:42.419-07:002017-06-13T06:40:42.419-07:00Unknown and dopamine--
