How many positive integers can 4 bits express?

It is 3. It can express all positive integers from 0 through 7.

The number 8 is a very interesting case. It can be expressed two ways.

It can be expressed as a single 4 bit binary number, 100. It is the only integer that can be represented by exactly one 4 bit binary number.

It can also be expressed as two 4 bit binary numbers, 10 and 2.

These can be represented in two ways. One way is to have the first 4 bits represent the number 10 and then follow it with a second set of 4 bits representing 2, thus: 10010.

The other way is to have the first 4 bits represent 2 and then follow it with a second set of 4 bits representing 10, thus: 10010.

You are getting an AI to generate text on different topics.

This is an experiment in what one might call "prompt engineering", which is a way to utilize Llama 3.1 405b, a neural network trained by Meta.

Llama is a language model. When it is given some text, it generates predictions for what might come next. It is remarkably good at adapting to different contexts, as defined by a prompt (in this case, hidden), which sets the scene for what type of text will be generated.

Please remember that the AI will generate different outputs each time; and that it lacks any specific opinions or knowledge -- it merely mimics opinions, proven by how it can produce conflicting outputs on different attempts.

Feel free to share interesting outputs to /r/philosopherAI on Reddit.
