@jamesjyu This is huge. The ability to refer back to previous concepts in the prompt, chain functions on them, and recurse/iterate...my brain is spinning with possibilities.

This GPT virtual machine post is only the tip of the iceberg.

@joshlabau and I have discovered that text-davinci-003 has the capability to do something we're calling HALLUCINATED SCRIPTS

Buckle up for a thread, this one is mind bending 🤯

@juliagalef This is the best overview of the scientific literature I've found on the interplay between dominance, agreeableness, kindness, and assertiveness. https://t.co/ePAESv7A1k

@MeekDior_ Gardein makes some incredible chicken: https://t.co/QBQs6fg7p0, look around at Whole Foods or other stores! HappyCow to eat out: https://t.co/fW5ywtb2QD! Take a look around your grocery store to see what's available, you might be surprised! #vegan

@room34 I'm sure there are literally DOZENS of readers!

@room34 To their credit, they do have one opinion piece on there right now called "Blind Loyalty is Un-American" https://t.co/JG8LxW2SG2

@_jmichaelward Please tell me there's a dentist-turned-rapper named Fluorida.

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward @room34 The scare quotes on "baseball"

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward I think of it as "We have a strict 'no moonlighting' policy around here."

@_jmichaelward Was browsing WordCamp MPLS site and wondering if anyone would talk about modular design...then BOOM https://t.co/3apwLhkJM3

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward C# has var, too, but it's only for when you don't know the type. I would be thrilled to have declarable types in PHP.

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward @room34 I guess you could just distribute your package with a copy of GitHub and that should take care of most things.

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward @room34 Though at that point you may be dependent on hardware architecture. It never ends!

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward @room34 Agreed. All packages should be distributed as self-installing OS images with all conceivable dependencies installed.

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward @room34 That seems smart. Though it still depends on package creators bundling, right? Excellent lesson either way for NPM.

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward @room34 Could probably be fixed by some kind of fallback system. The licenses on the dependencies may allow that.

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward I suppose I deserve that.

[Josh LaBau @joshlabau]

@_jmichaelward Can I get a banana for scale because I can't tell how big that thing is. It looks frickin' YUGE
