for those wondering: yes it’s real, and it’s reproducible.

1. write an insane system prompt 2. regenerate everything unfunny 3. reward funny 4. let memory lock in the damage

congratulations, you’ve manually RLHF’d a claude on your sense of humor.

@shiraeis Actually decently clever. Not funny 'ha ha, but funny 'nice one'.

@shiraeis Fable thinks that is "original".

For a machine built of scraped stolen work, I am not very surprised that it stole a joke and called it "original".

@shiraeis I don’t know if this is funny. Maybe it would be funnier Norm Macdonald said it.

@HeidiBriones @shiraeis imo people that don't produce work product are the most impressed by "ai".
