Is streaming a real job? It is not. The definition of a 'job' from the Oxford Dictionary is: A paid position of regular employment; work done in exchange for payment. As we can see here, to have a job you must be receiving money.

When a person 'streams' they are not working for an employer that pays them, but instead receive voluntary donations from their viewers. In this way streaming is more similar to the act of begging or panhandling.

In addition, streaming is similar to panhandling in that the streamer's income is not guaranteed. Streaming on Twitch does not guarantee a full-time living or even part-time income; it is based on viewers' donations.

Another similarity between streamers and panhandlers is the fact that both rely on public support to survive. Both need donations from other people in order to continue.

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.
