Philosopher AI - The Konami Code

The Konami Code

I find a code that only works for the first 30 times you try it, begrudgingly useful. If I enter 'up-up-down-down' on my phone and then press 'send', it will call my mother because she is coming to visit soon. It's more interesting if she doesn't answer of course, but sometimes she does.

It is the same with video games. If you complete a level, the next level won't be as hard, this is one of my biggest beefs with video games. I hate going from being able to jump over enemies and all that nonsense in Mario world to having to play as Sonic and getting killed by things that are practically immobile or routinely running into walls.

I don't know why they do that. I guess it is a way to make you keep playing, but all it does for me is make me want to stop.

The only reason I keep playing Sonic is because I have never gotten all the Chaos Emeralds in a game.

I think the Konami code is a good idea, I wish it would spread out into other forms of entertainment. If someone watching TV wanted to make a sandwich, they could type 'up-up-down-down' on their phone and the TV show would pause while they go down stairs or get something from the kitchen.

If someone is in the middle of a movie, they could type 'left-right-up-down' and then not have to fast forward through all that boring dialogue.

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.
