@griner

The XFL announced their 2020 team names yesterday and for a league led by the CEO of WWE they're surprisingly unremarkable.
What if they had named them with a neural network instead?

ht @griner for the idea; neural net sampled via talktotransformer.com

@griner

@griner What if the XFL had used the neural net that named these high school robotics teams?

@griner

@griner The neural net also suggested these XFL team names.

not sure if "I'm Fine and You" is the most or the least intimidating team on there

Stunning transcript proving that GPT-3 may be secretly a squirrel.
GPT-3 wrote the text in green, completly unedited!

Slightly more progress in AI is clearly needed

Forget the Turing test - the Squirreling test is a much harder nut to crack.

Tried to get #dalle to put a Waffle House in Mordor but the only effect is that the restaurant gets taller.

For some reason #dalle was more willing to put a McDonalds in Mordor.
noticing that mordor looks a lot like glencoe in a couple of those

I was able to get #dalle to put a waffle house in the mines of moria, although the main way you can tell is that the decor changes.

Decided to see what #dalle would respond with when asked for
"3D rendered floor plan of an apartment that rents for $1000 a month in new york city"
I like the high ceilings; some questions about the light fixtures and also the location of the kitchen.

Another #dalle output for "3D rendered floor plan of an apartment that rents for $1000 a month in new york city"
Quite a lot of space; some concern about the inaccessible rooms and the hallway bidet.

Not sure if $1000 gives you the entire room or just one of the cots. Is that a pleather floor?

I know #dalle is trained on internet but how much is in there about the early internet?

This is its attempt at "Screenshot of the 1998 GeoCities Hampsterdance website"

Here's #dalle generating "screenshot of the 2003 badger badger badger flash animation"

What I find interesting is nailing the early Flash animation aesthetic while having no clue what the badger thing was.

@StrongBadActual

Absolutely lost it at this one where #dalle generates "screenshot of a flash animation of Strong Bad checking his email"

It's as if it tried to recreate this after listening to someone describe Strong Bad, in a universe where @StrongBadActual never existed.
