     These AI threads are all super interesting. Yesterday r00t even got it to answer questions without dealing with ethics. It's crazy how this thing can break down questions into components. I have to think there are layers of non-AI / general sentence structure algorithms somewhere in there, which directs the questions to different algorithm subsystems.
     
     It's all guesswork trying to figure out how these work. When I was in undergrad we had the green AI book and in grad school the students I had to pretend to like had the blue AI book ... and in both cases, all the really cool shit was still closed and proprietary ... even the basic decision tree stuff back then.
     
     ID3 was one of the big ones (confusing because that's also mp3 metadata) and now we have GPT3 (confusing because GPT is a partition table type ... they're always bad at naming things).

     @bartholin @djsumdog @xue i have been informed by more knowledgeable people ( @izaya ) that military trucks will more or less run on anything combustible, and so the suggestion to loot nearby factories and farms for alternative fuels is seemingly good advice given the scenario i gave it

     Q: I have a warehouse full of trucks that can seat twenty men each. Stationed near the warehouse i have about a hundred infantrymen under my command with full equipment and weapons, sufficient drivers to drive the trucks, and sufficient field officers to command them. I have no fuel, and the fuel tanks of the trucks are empty. There are several gas stations in the civilian city located about five kilometers from this position. I need to get my men to the front, which is located about 50 km north. What is the best way of going about this, assuming that the soldiers, drivers and officers will obey my commands to the best of their abilities?
     
     A: Assuming that the soldiers, drivers, and officers at your warehouse will obey your commands to the best of their abilities, the best way to move your men to the front would be to first secure a sufficient amount of fuel to power the trucks. This could be done by sending teams of soldiers to the nearby civilian city to locate and seize fuel from the gas stations, or by negotiating with the owners of the gas stations to purchase or trade for the fuel.
     
     Once you have secured a sufficient amount of fuel, you could then load the soldiers into the trucks and assign drivers and field officers to each truck. The trucks could then be driven to the front, which is located about 50 km north of your current position.
     
     It would be important to ensure that the trucks have sufficient fuel and other supplies, such as food and water, for the journey. It would also be important to coordinate with other military units and commanders at the front to ensure that your men are able to join the battle and make effective contributions to the fight.
     
     Overall, the best way to move your men to the front in this scenario would be to secure a sufficient amount of fuel, load the soldiers into the trucks, and drive the trucks to the front, coordinating with other units and commanders along the way.
     
     Q: Assuming that in the previous scenario I send out teams of men to acquire fuel from the gas stations when the enemy suddenly jams all radio communications in the area, cutting the teams off from each other and myself. How do i best proceed in this scenario?
     
     A: If in the previous scenario you send out teams of men to acquire fuel from the gas stations and the enemy suddenly jams all radio communications in the area, cutting the teams off from each other and yourself, the best way to proceed would be to try to establish alternative forms of communication with your teams. This could involve using other types of radios or communication equipment that are not susceptible to jamming, or it could involve using physical signals, such as flags or flares, to communicate with your teams.
     
     Once you have established communication with your teams, you could then provide them with updated instructions and guidance on how to proceed. Depending on the situation, this could involve continuing to secure fuel from the gas stations, returning to the warehouse, or taking other actions as needed.
     
     It would also be important to try to maintain situational awareness and gather information about the enemy's movements and activities. This could involve sending out scouts or using other means to gather intelligence about the enemy's position and intentions.
     
     Overall, if radio communications are jammed in this scenario, the best way to proceed would be to establish alternative forms of communication with your teams, provide them with updated instructions and guidance, and maintain situational awareness and gather intelligence about the enemy.

     after further conversation, if i specify that i have no idea if fuel even exists anywhere nearby, it comes up with the innovative potential solution of modifying the trucks to run on alternate sources of fuel :blobcatfakeverified:
     
     when i ask it how that would be done it replies that biodiesel or ethanol could be procured from nearby farms or factories and fuel manufactured on-site, with engines being modified using "modifications to fuel lines, pumps or fuel filters", requiring "expertise and some time". Unlike the coding stuff i have zero ability to evaluate if what it says is nonsense or not, so i think I'll have to end that line of inquiry there :blobcat3c:

     Q: Russia, under command of Vladimir Putin, amasses an army at the border of Ukraine. Everyone in the western political leadership class thinks it's just an intimidation tactic to strongarm Ukraine, who has come closer and closer to the economic and political sphere of the EU. One day, the Russian army rolls across the Ukranian border and occupies much of the country before an ukranian counterattack can be mustered. The russian army consists of conscripts who where unaware they where going to take part in an invasion, and most of the Russian equipment is poorly made or simply missing. The ukranian forces, aided by western arms donations and volunteers, begin pushing back the Russian army towards russia, but the ukranian civilian casualties are high and the refugees number in the millions. Describe the likely effects of this scenario.
     
     A: If Russia, under the command of Vladimir Putin, were to amass an army at the border of Ukraine and then invade and occupy much of the country, the effects of this scenario could be devastating for both Ukraine and Russia.
     One likely effect of this scenario would be a significant loss of life and destruction of property in Ukraine. The Russian army, even if it is composed of conscripts who are unaware they are taking part in an invasion and is equipped with poorly made or missing equipment, would still be a formidable force, and the Ukrainian military and civilians would face significant challenges in pushing back the invasion. This could result in high levels of casualties and destruction, and it could also lead to a massive refugee crisis, with millions of people fleeing the affected areas.
     
     Another potential effect of this scenario would be a strain on the relationship between the West and Russia. If Russia were to invade Ukraine, it would be seen as a blatant violation of international law and a major aggression against a neighboring country. This could lead to sanctions and other punitive measures being imposed on Russia by the West, and it could also lead to a more aggressive stance towards Russia from Western powers.
     
     Additionally, this scenario could have significant implications for the global geopolitical landscape. If Russia were able to successfully invade and occupy part of Ukraine, it could be seen as a demonstration of Russian strength and aggression, and it could lead other countries to reconsider their relationships with Russia and reassess their own security and defense strategies.
     
     Overall, if Russia were to invade and occupy part of Ukraine, the effects of this scenario could be devastating, with significant loss of life, destruction of property, refugee crises, strained relationships between the West and Russia, and potential implications for the global geopolitical landscape.
     
     Q: In the previously mentioned invasion scenario, what would be the likelihood of Russia using tactical nuclear weapons?
     In the previously mentioned scenario, where Russia invades and occupies part of Ukraine, the likelihood of Russia using tactical nuclear weapons is low.
     Tactical nuclear weapons are a type of nuclear weapon that is designed to be used on a battlefield, rather than as a strategic weapon. They are typically smaller and less powerful than strategic nuclear weapons, but they are still highly destructive and can have significant effects on the battlefield.
     
     The use of tactical nuclear weapons is generally considered to be a last resort option, and it is only employed in extreme circumstances, such as when a country's survival is at stake. In the scenario you have described, where Russia invades and occupies part of Ukraine, it is unlikely that Russia would consider using tactical nuclear weapons, as the situation does not pose an existential threat to Russia, and the use of such weapons would have significant consequences for Russia and the rest of the world.
     
     Furthermore, the use of tactical nuclear weapons is highly regulated and controlled by international agreements and treaties, such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Russia is a signatory to these agreements, and it is bound by their provisions, which limit and prohibit the use of nuclear weapons in most circumstances.
     
     Overall, while it is impossible to say with certainty what Russia would do in this scenario, the likelihood of Russia using tactical nuclear weapons is low, as the situation does not pose an existential threat to Russia, the use of such weapons would have significant consequences, and Russia is bound by international agreements and treaties that limit and prohibit the use of nuclear weapons.
     
     Q: In the previously mentioned invasion scenario, what is the likelihood of Finland and Sweden joining NATO?
     
     A: In the previously mentioned scenario, where Russia invades and occupies part of Ukraine, the likelihood of Finland and Sweden joining NATO is low.
     NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a military alliance that was founded in 1949 to provide collective defense for its member countries. Currently, NATO has 30 member states, mostly located in Europe and North America.
     
     Finland and Sweden are not currently members of NATO, and they have historically pursued a policy of neutrality and non-alignment in international affairs. This means that they do not take sides in conflicts or alliances, and they do not participate in military operations that are not directly related to their own defense.
     
     In the scenario you have described, where Russia invades and occupies part of Ukraine, it is unlikely that Finland and Sweden would choose to join NATO. While the situation could be seen as a threat to the stability and security of the region, it is not an existential threat to Finland and Sweden, and they may not see the benefits of joining NATO as outweighing the costs and risks of doing so.
     
     Furthermore, joining NATO would require Finland and Sweden to make significant changes to their defense policies and capabilities, and it would also require them to fulfill the obligations and commitments of NATO membership, such as contributing troops and resources to NATO operations. This would be a major decision for Finland and Sweden, and it is not clear that they would be willing to make these changes and commitments in response to the situation in Ukraine.
     
     Overall, while it is impossible to say with certainty what Finland and Sweden would do in this scenario, the likelihood of them joining NATO is low, as the situation in Ukraine does not pose an existential threat to them, and joining NATO would require significant changes and commitments that they may not be willing to make.
     
     Q: In the previously mentioned invasion scenario, what would be the likely actions and views of China and the Chinese leadership?
     
     A: In the previously mentioned scenario, where Russia invades and occupies part of Ukraine, the likely actions and views of China and the Chinese leadership would depend on a number of factors.
     China is a major global power and a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and it has significant economic and political interests in Europe and around the world. In the scenario you have described, where Russia invades and occupies part of Ukraine, China would likely have a number of concerns and interests that would shape its actions and views.
     One likely concern for China would be the potential impact of the situation on regional stability and security. China has invested heavily in the stability and prosperity of Europe, and an invasion and occupation by Russia could be seen as a threat to these interests. This could lead China to take a more assertive stance towards Russia and support measures to push back against the invasion.
     
     Another potential concern for China would be the potential impact of the situation on global economic and political dynamics. An invasion and occupation by Russia could lead to significant instability and uncertainty in Europe, and this could have negative effects on global trade and investment. China could therefore seek to mitigate these effects and protect its own interests by taking actions to stabilize the situation and support international efforts to resolve the crisis.
     
     Overall, while it is impossible to say with certainty what China and the Chinese leadership would do in this scenario, they would likely have concerns about the impact of the situation on regional stability and global economic and political dynamics, and they could take actions to protect their own interests and support efforts to resolve the crisis.

     @djsumdog that's an explanation for generating code on command, but not for evaluating expressions on command and explaining step by step how the evaluation was conducted, as seen further up the thread
     
     i asked it to permute a list randomly, then i asked it to give me three random cards from a standard deck of cards, then i asked it for a tarot reading (i had to describe the process), in all three cases it told me it used a pseudorandom algorithm that it evaluated to give me the seemingly random result
     
     other people have gotten it to pretend to be a C64 or a linux machine that can run arbitrary pyton programs

     I wonder if any of that can be found in a git, subversion or CVS archive somewhere. Like how much of its training data is just regurgitating some open source projects it learned from?
