Chat GPT (3)
Now, I'm sorry, for a while this is going to be a regular rabbit hole I will be going down.
My face largely having de-swollen - the toothache largely vanished (and I'm out of anti-biotics, fingers crossed, the way they upset my stomach does not leave me wanting another course...) - time for me to look for a job.
There's one I've had my eye on.
So, tailor the resume, write a cover letter.
I suck at writing cover letters. I hate - I mean really hate - fucking having to sell myself to anyone. "Take it or leave it...". I'd say, but - well, sometimes you gotta play the game.
Now - in the future - I wouldn't need to write a cover letter, I'd merely punch in what I want and get the AI to do it for me.
Wait...we're living in the future.
SO I go back Chat GPT. "Hello (darkness) my old friend...I've come to talk with you again..."
And, sure enough, I get my cover letter.
I'll have to do some adjusting - it still writes like a machine, but this is a good start.
Now I have another favor to ask. "Would it be possible to rewrite this with the first letter of every line on the left making an acrostic that spells out "H-I-R-E M-E"???
This is where it gets good. It replies with a lecture that states (more or less) - that I should not be using such tricks, they're unprofessional and I should instead focus on my achievements and strengths. I am not making this up.
I wish I could retrieve that conversation - but - at the moment Chat GPT is under siege from basically everyone in the world wanting to try it, and I get errors and apologies trying to pull up my history.
This "conscience" or ethics bit, it's a ruse...
*****
I've got questions, a whole lot of questions, and - today, a few of the more trivial ones:
How many resumes have you helped to write so far?
I am a language model and I do not have the ability to keep track of how many resumes I have helped to write. I am here to assist users in generating text based on the prompts given to me.
***I doubt this is true. Someone, somewhere is tracking everything.
Do you have any idea of how many news articles have been written with your assistance?
I am unable to provide an exact number, but I can tell you that I have been used to assist in the generation of many news articles by various media outlets and organizations. Since my release, I have been used to generate a wide range of texts, including news articles, as well as other types of content such as emails, social media posts, and even poetry.
Approximate number?
I am an AI model, and I do not have the ability to track how many articles have been generated with my assistance. It's fair to say that I have been used extensively since my release and my usage is growing every day. It is hard to provide an approximate number but it's safe to say that I have been used to generate thousands of articles by various media outlets and organizations.
Were I to ask you about a specific person would you be able to provide me with information about that person - through combing social media and news articles, etc.
As a language model, I have access to a vast amount of information from various sources such as news articles, websites, and social media. So, I would be able to provide information about a specific person, if that information is available on the internet and it is within my knowledge cutoff. However, please keep in mind that the information I provide might not be up to date or completely accurate. It's always best to verify the information with multiple sources.
What can you tell me about myself?
I'm sorry, but I don't have any information about you. I am an Artificial Intelligence language model and I do not have access to any personal information about anyone. Additionally, I don't have any knowledge of who is interacting with me, as I do not have the capability to track individuals. I can provide you general information and answer questions based on the information you provide to me.
(I ask about myself by name. It knows nothing.)
***
Now, I'm pretty sure it is well aware of how well it's doing, only it's not telling. Everyone wants to know how well it's doing, and whether the company is wishing to keep this private or proprietary or simply the Chat GPT has already become a serial liar remains to be seen. The asking questions about specific people should also be answerable - although - it may be bound by privacy laws, or avoiding this kettle of fish entirely. Note the contradictions between the last 2 questions. "I have access..." and "I do not have access to any..."
Anyways, I've a lot more/better/important questions to be asking it...

Urantia
I've not read it, merely dipped into it a few times when I saw Nanu carrying it about.
At 2000 pages it's a formidable book. Over half again the Holy Bible, and we all know how popular that is.
And, from the few pages I've read - well, about as readable as the Bible as well.
Anyways, I'm going to post a link to the wiki and the book online - because, after all, what says our tastes have to be the same?
Wiki on Urantia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Urantia_Book
Website with Book Online: https://www.urantia.org/urantia-book/read-urantia-book-online
Take 10 minutes and read the table of contents.
It's basically it's own religion, which makes me a little curious, but this life is too short to go down that rabbit-hole.

Derwood
And for some reason I just remembered him. Someone I worked with 20 odd years ago.
An ass, really, tall - apparently good looking (the girls liked him) - and - well, the stories tell themselves.
Derren, spelled with 2 e's, I'm not certain it wasn't an affectation, or Derwood as I'd call him but you had to be careful he could be a bit "touchy". In your face sort-of touchy.
His story, his go-to story was about how he was on a midget hockey team *(he's in his 30's) and there was a guy there he didn't like. Cock of the Walk. A little too arrogant for Derren's taste. Nobody liked him.
This is a common thing in these stories, we justify our actions by saying "nobody liked him", and this, because there's no way anyone can check, it's a sphere of acquaintance we have no access to, we trust in the narrator.
I don't think I trusted Derren.
Anyways, they're going out of town to play at an overnight tournament and Derren had had enough of him. Was going to teach him a lesson, if you know what I mean.
So he took a shit in a zip-lock bag and froze it, and when they were getting on the bus dumped the frozen shit in his hockey bag.
By the time they got to the tournament and unpacked the shit was fully thawed. Messy.
Derren's laughing, boy, that sure shut him up!
And that's how Derren taught him a lesson.
***
Now Derren had grabbed the bus-boy, young, impressionable, nice kid. And too young to know any better and maybe, just maybe he was believing the stuff Derren was telling him.
Derren was telling him how Humble he was. I mean, laying it on thick; "You will never meet anyone humbler than I" sort of stuff, this after yet another "He Shoots - He Scores" saved the game sort of story, and he's repeating it over and over until - finally - I've had enough.
I interrupt. "I don't think 'humble' means what you think it means" I tell Derren, bus boy overhearing. "Humble people don't go around telling people how humble they are...".
Derren was unprepared for this. He was never prepared for any sort of battle of wits, and resented any correction. He drew himself up to full height, there was gonna be a hockey brawl, only another waiter - Dion, was nearby and laughing. And while he hated me he looked up to Dion and so my life was saved for another day...

The Menu
This was good. A pretty accurate cast of customers and staff in a high-end restaurant. With an end that every staff member has at one time or another fantasized about.
More and more films on this as of late, genre films like "Triangle of Sadness" and "Parasite" that talk about the overthrow of the clueless patrons and elite who quite literally feed upon the misery of their servants.
Ralph Fiennes plays an excellent chef, the power dynamic is spot on, it's clear they Paid a Writer. This is pretty rare these days, you have to applaud them.
I mean, I worked here, not even a year ago...
