They just switched from AI to Mentats.
From machines that think like men, to men that think like machines.
All the good stuff is lifted directly from Asimov.
And Asimov got his stuff from Clarke.
They were contemporaneous - neither stole from either one.
How does them being writers at the same time (friends, even) preclude them getting ideas from each other? They literally hung out together and Asimov considered Clarke the better writer.
I know they hung out together and it looks like you fooled you. They had a joke that Asimov would say he knew everything and Clarke would say he was the better writer.
Neither, EVER, accused the other of stealing from each other.
You’re just spreading stupid, bullshit lies on the internet.
I never said anything about them stealing from each other. 🤦♂️
I feel like AI enthusiasts would become a bit disillusioned with AI if they could see what was being added to their prompts.
What’s being added?
It’s called a system prompt. It’s a wrapper around the prompt you, the user, writes, which is called the user prompt.
What exactly is being added to the system prompt is a huge part of the “secret sauce” of the AI providers, because it greatly affects the quality and tone of the output. It may also be part of the safety layer of guardrails to stop users from asking about topics the AI providers have deemed taboo (such as biology, in recent news).
Most providers allow you to overwrite with your own system prompt so…
the sauce is not so secret, people actively try to leak them: https://github.com/elder-plinius/CL4R1T4S
The Frank Herbert story that really fucks with me is Destination: Void
Dune touched on it and D:V smashes it in your face.
The last sentence in the book is fucking EPIC
Woah, spoiler alert. Now I know there’s an epic last sentence that I won’t be able to take my mind off of until I finally get to it and it’s definitely nothing like my brain had hyped it up to be.
