This is awesome! Can't wait to use it in my AI course.

Welp looks like I was wrong about it being able to handle large amounts of text input correctly.

Interesting that that's the failure point right now. (I assume with enough attempts and better formatting in the prompt you could probably get it to work correctly. But maybe not.)

Attempt #2, colors and design are still boring but seems to work even with additional detail.

tbh looking at it I still like the idea of having a person do this instead of an algorithm; don't you have a nice letterpress there somewhere?

OpenAI has got you covered, apparently. A bit boring but not at all a bad attempt. Such interesting times. 🤔

Randomly came across this today, must have gotten it in Munich sometime in the mid-90s. Think I might have to put it up on the wall somewhere.

It says "resist".

The world is on fire but as the term has now ended I wanted to post the titles of the 47 projects students in my "AI and the Humanities" and LLM Architectures courses completed; so much outstanding and groundbreaking work, I couldn't be prouder of them and our program! 🥰

So this is kind of cheating because I didn't draw it myself, but I had to post it because it's one of my favorite things ever.

This is a rubbing from the inscription on the bottom of an ancient Chinese bronze vessel (cast in ca. 1000 BCE) depicting a dragon's head and upper torso. Dragons!! 🐉 🐲

We hooked the China Biographical Database (CBDB) up to GPT at one point and found it works ok for data analysis (the network graph below is in-browser) but even better for writing code to produce dataviz, dashboards etc. Running some tests with library metadata rn, can let you know how it goes.

It's a real thing! And completely Open Access for all:

My eternal gratitude to all who helped with this, the first work on how large-scale computational approaches to premodern Chinese phonology and rhetoric reveal far more than we ever knew was going on in these texts. Enjoy!

The first computer we had at home was an IBM 8088 XT, bought by my dad in 1983 -- two 5 1/4 floppy drives (one for the OS) with no hard drive, no mouse, F keys on the left of the keyboard.

I learned to program in BASIC on it, played lots of Zyll (who's ever heard of Zyll?) -- good times! 🥰

Had a great time talking about Intelligent Agents and Agency in AI at the Loyola "Harmonious Human-AI Ecosystems" conference today -- but the best part might have been at lunch when we got GPT (I wrote the first prompt and then a friend put in the the rest) to invent Buddhism? Or something? 🤣

But is it art?

恭喜發財，龍年如意！！
A most auspicious Year of the Dragon to you all!

(This is one of my favorite pages from 金文編, and a rubbing of the "dragon cauldron" 龍鼎 from the Sinica database which most folks date to the late Shang or early Zhou. Go dragons! 🐉)
