anyone solving the goblin mystery???

Fascinating!

I feel like somehow Jakub Pachocki’s request for an ascii art unicorn got rewritten into “ascii art of Wholesome Soyjak wearing a butterfly costume who uses Arch, by the way”

Awww, GPT just became a fan of Elisabeth Wheatley!

The chief scientist of one of the companies with the most money invested in the world, who probably makes millions a year, requested a picture of a unicorn and got a picture of a gremlin. Science circa 2026.

Caveman mode combined with goblin mode sounds like fun

Wherein OpenAI admits they have very little understanding of how their models’ personality develops. And implicitly admit it’s not all that important to them, except when it gets so out of hand that they get caught making blunt corrections.

Just; the mentality required to write something like that, and then base part of your "product" on it. Is this meant to be of any actual utility or is it meant to trap a particular user segment into your product's "character?"

OpenAI is having fun, love this.

Great, now who am I going to discuss Goblins and Gremlins with?
