Fascinated by the way this crochet-trained neural net deals with non-crochet prompts.
Since HAT3000 started out as vanilla GPT-2 345M trained on huge sections on the internet, it still remembers how to generate stories and fan fiction. But now it tries its hardest to gradually turn them into crochet hat patterns. Prompt: Darth Vader clenched his fist.  Darth Vader clenched his fist. “I am not the Darth,” he cried, throwing his hood up and closing his eyes tight. “I am not… you do not know me, you do not recognize me, and I am not supposed to share who I am with you… only that I know you are not supposed to make these fools of yourselves!”  The Force touched him and his smile widened. “I am Alderaan,” he said, glancing at the
This one I find particularly interesting - HAT3000’s story isn’t about hats at first, but is weirdly conceptually similar. Prompt: “The earthlings did not yet know they were doomed.”  The earthlings did not yet know they were doomed. But in the round more vivid did they see the earth walking, as it was moving about the west of the round, and at the same time it erected a hedge round the central part of the circle. Then as the round demanded scenes, the earthling made a ring of earth, and placed the remaining clay in place. “Now fill the
HAT3000's stories often end up with intricately choreographed fight scenes. The resemblance to crochet pattern directions is striking (even before the AI introduces a flying ball of yarn).

Kylo Ren leapt behind a support column at the sight of Han Solo. He swiped at his left eye and left wrist, and with one swift movement spun on his heel for his next swing. The spinning action knocked a handful of the dust from Han Solo’s eyes and onto his feet, and soon he was spinning in the air and making his way around the platform without stopping. His arm suddenly snapped to his side like a mallet’s head snappin
Loki held out his hand, laughing at Thor. Loki had picked up his sword, and the two laughed together, their faces slightly obscured by the fur. As soon as Loki’s dagger had gotten between Thor and Thor’s ribs, they both pulled it out of their bodies, and Thor grinned. He reached out and took Loki’s hat off, and placed it on the floor and threw it at Loki. Loki caught it, but Thor cut his hat off and flung it behind h
The Enterprise dodged a laser blast and accelerated hard. The first few miles were uneventful, with no major damage. The next couple miles were more challenging, stretching nearly seven miles at a time. About halfway through the mile, however, something happened to the Enterprise that made it wobble a bit (this is often known as a change in direction) during each change. So to the right of the Starboard Front, the En
