What are your engineers up to?

The engineers are up to something, but it isn't clear what. They all seem very dedicated and hard working; they work on inhumanely large projects with great optimism, even though they never finish them. In fact there's a good chance that the project will go on forever without being completed.

I have noticed that these engineers always seem to be working on a project, but they never finish. Their projects are all very large and ambitious, but there's no reason for such ambition except to show off.

The engineers have a strange way of showing off, the kind of 'show-off' that is gross and unpleasant. It's an ugly way to show off.

The engineers' projects involve creating big, elaborate machines that are entirely useless. They take up a lot of space and resources.

They also use a lot of money, which is taken from the workers through taxation. The engineers use this money to fund their pointless projects.

All of these projects seem to have an 'engineering' theme - as if the engineers are trying to "engineer" something.

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.
