A news.ycombinator.com screenshot. It has two comments. The first reads: “I told ChatGPT my mom’s name the day my account got persistent memory, last april. I also told it to figure out my dad’s name. Once a month or so I would ask it my mom and dad’s name. By november it had figured out my dad’s name. https://x.com/kenwarner/status/1859637611595214888” It has a reply saying “Unfortunately I feel like the fact that your dad’s name is the same as yours somewhat diminishes that accomplishment.”.
You think that’s impressive? It guessed my dad’s name on almost first try.

It guessed my buddy’s name, unprompted!

I rolled the dice once a day every day for 8 months and then I finally rolled a 12 which proves the dice can learn. Checkmate atheists.
Assuming two six-sided dice; probability of throwing a 12 is 1 in 36 or just over a month on average. If it took you eight months, it’s safe to assume they are sentient and will proceed with murdering shortly
Wow, that is some skilled modeling. You should become a superforecaster and write
propheciesAI timelines, they are quite popular on lesswrong.
Are you trying to say here that cold readers do not actually communicate with the spirit realm? Where is your open mind?
MFs are boiling the oceans to reinvent cold reading
hopefully someone pasted the llmentalist article link to that person
Love how it only took several months of guessing.
I can do the same thing. You. Yeah you. The person reading this. I bet your name is John.
(Everyone named John reading this is now shitting their pants)
Wait - the dude’s his own dad? That’s fucked up.
Lots of mental masturbation will have that effect
