Oh this is brilliant, I've spent the last month doing something just like this. As a challenge, no libraries allowed besides Python standard libs (so no numpy).

Started with Word2Vec, built an RNN, then LSTM and am halfway through building transformer architecture.


Slop and fraud make the perfect pairing.


I reckon that in 50 years the very idea of code existing will be esoteric knowledge, a bit like binary. We simply won't care to think at that level of abstraction anymore.


In 50 years the world itself will be unrecognisable. The world could be a smouldering wreck by then.


Honestly, I'm biased but I think it's the best one.


The damp rock is pretty and compatible with life. 10/10 would inhabit again.


I'm interested in how you're planning on managing the "again" part.


Oh I have no clue how to do that, but if I can no question this damp rock is top of my list.


Germany has fallen.


From the title I'd assumed this was a mixed metaphor between boiling the frog and facing impending doom.

Maybe I need to stop AI doomscrolling for a bit.


What amazes me is I thought the exact same thing, verbatim. And I hadn't thought about that boiling frog in years. I guess it scarred you and me both when we saw it.


"Boiling the frog" is a common idiom for making a negative change slowly enough that no-one reacts. It perhaps comes from the (incorrect) notion that if you add a frog to water and bring it to a boil very gradually, it won't notice.


I just thought it was going to be a funny mashup of For Whom The Bell Tolls (Hemingway) with Michigan T. Frog (Looney Tunes)


I think you've answered your own point convincingly! Glad you enjoyed it.


Didn't something like this already happen in the 1970/80s with pushback against synthesisers and electronic sounds?


I'd agree on the voice transcription; it seems so much more accurate than the other frontier models I've used. I often speak to Grok and paste the transcribed output to Claude!


These days I have to check the upload date to see if I'm being duped. At 8 years ago this one passes!
