This one scared me a little:
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said,
4 "Let there be light," and there was light.
5 And God saw that it was good.
6 And God divided the light from the darkness; and it was also good.
7 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
8 Now the evening and the morning were the first day.
9 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
10 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament.
11 And God called the firmament Heaven.
12 And God blessed the firmament, and God sanctified it. Then God rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had made. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Agadoo-doo-dooPush pineapple Shake a treePush corn This is my most favorite routine. I love the way the sun shines and all the elements in my life flow into one wonderful space. Everything is calm and the air is warm and calm before all the craziness, anxiety and stress are put into perspective.The first step is to start focusing and not worry about anything other than getting fit. The sun is shining, you have more time in the day, you have all this free time to do all the things that are meant to be spent. Don't worry if you need to take breaks from the rest of the world. Get in shape and do some exercises. I love doing cardio because the muscles in your thighs and calves are naturally working and the stretch reflex is activated and you feel incredibly tight in those muscles.On the other end, when you are working out, I usually do a lot of sitting and standing up. It has a calming, peaceful feeling to it, and there is the same feeling of being surrounded by things. You feel lighter in your bones and you feel great physically, but mentally you are a mess. You cannot control what happens at work around you. You are so busy trying to accomplish a result that you lose focus, and a lot of the good stuff goes right through the glass of your head

In the not too distant futureNext Sunday, A.D.There was a guy named JoelNot too different from you and meHe told me that that was my destiny (I'd have to kill him to get out of it)I don't know why he did that, but maybe it was the same reason in his mind?He was my brother... And then I ended up having an encounter with himI've gotten so frustrated lately... Just a few minutes a day like thisWell, when I finally did it was a lot less... I didn't think I could do it as strong as a ninjaAnd it was actually kinda fun to make some of those things like thatI think this is probably where we meet... And I know it might sound weird, but the reason whyThis is probably why it's not so interesting to me at all.A lot of times people don't have anything to live forAnd that's where the fun beginsIf I was here at this place on an island... I'd probably feel the same way... I probably wouldn't be around right nowSo, I'm always thinking of new ways to take on thingsAnd that's why I'm probably the only one that I've seen die (it's not like I had really anything)

Holtzman: I would imagine the gun is now in one of the cans, or is it in the cupboards, or are we all going to be eating chicken-fried steak and eating chicken-fried steak together for the rest of the day, which, by the way, is going to be the most horrible thing, right?

I've been playing around with this for a couple of days and thought I was pretty much over it but then it comes up with something like this:
What's the deal with airline food? You get served by your food service person, but you'll just keep being served by your food service person.
At any point if the food service guy keeps acting like a chicken, you're not going to want to make another reservation. So there's a whole process to getting your food back to the food service person. And if you forget who's actually the manager, that's actually against the rules. You're not supposed to be there. You're not supposed to be the manager.
But how do I get there from what I see the sign says?
The answer is, it's in the airport.
When I check into this hotel from here, it's a restaurant called the La Paloma hotel, and I'm seated at The Cattleman Café.
So I order food, get in and there's a line.
If you're like me, you don't know what to expect. You're here for my meal. My stomach just feels like it's on fire, like, "You guys are nuts, aren't you guys just going to let me have that goddamn chicken?'" I'm like, "Yeah, it's in the airplane."

We created a new dataset which emphasizes diversity of content, by scraping content from the Internet. In order to preserve document quality, we used only pages which have been curated/filtered by humans—specifically, we used outbound links from Reddit which received at least 3 karma. This can be thought of as a heuristic indicator for whether other users found the link interesting (whether educational or funny), leading to higher data quality than other similar datasets

Too true, too true. I've noticed that fuckin' around with Transformer for long stretches of time has a cognitive effect not unlike what happens to my eyes if I wind up staring at a tiny screen for too long. Sharp focus is not immediately forthcoming. I guess that's something about human nature.
At any rate, Transformer, let's talk about it.
It's a Transformer.
You know the old expression, "It takes a village to raise a child"? Well, it's a Transformer. As with our world, this is about the size of my head with a tiny bit of extra space built in. But more importantly, you have an all-purpose handheld video game controller that's about the size of a softball thrown in there.
And as an aside, it's worth noting that Transformer's controllers may even be lighter than games like Super Smash Bros. Wii U's. If more people bought a Transformer, they'd sell for significantly less than the controllers Wii U sold last year, which means a lot more money will be spent developing these games. That's not to say Transformer isn't a fun title, as anyone who's played the game and loved it can attest. But for it to be a big moneymaker? It might find even bigger markets than Super Smash Bros. for Switch. And if any game

I'd like to know the granularity at which these answers are constructed. The site seems to say responses are constructed word-by-word, but that seems misleading to me. The prevalence of complex sentences, with multiple subjects and dependent clauses, suggests pattern matching that is based at a higher (and more restrictive) level than single words. Anyway, these results are more impressive than anything I've seen before using Markov text generation, even though it is still gibberish. Good work, Transformer!

I'd like to know the granularity at which these answers are constructed. The site seems to say responses are constructed word-by-word, but that seems misleading to me. The prevalence of complex sentences, with multiple subjects and dependent clauses, suggests pattern matching that is based at a higher (and more restrictive) level than single words.
From the blog, "Our model, called GPT-2 (a successor to GPT), was trained simply to predict the next word in 40GB of Internet text." Using such a large dataset, and given 1024 words of context when training, it basically implicitly learns sentence and even paragraph structure.

Baldrick: “I have a plan, sir.”Blackadder: “Really, Baldrick? A cunning and subtle one?”Baldrick: “Yes, sir.”Blackadder: “As cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?”Baldrick: “Yes, sir.”Blackadder: “As cunning as a rogue of Shakespeare’s own creation?”Baldrick: “Yes, sir.”Blackadder: “As cunning as an assassin dressed as a detective?”Baldrick: “Yes, sir.“[The actor then takes the lead. The pair have to make a choice between the two. If they choose "Cunning" it gives Blackadder the option to kill Baldrick, leaving the other choices open. Blackadder then takes the last option - to cut down the snake, which cuts into his liver. A final sequence reveals a scene with a cut-out of Baldrick who has been taken to hospital with a heart attack. The camera then zooms out on the actor performing his turn as the audience watches the actor fall to the floor.][Blackadder is then joined by another actor who is called in to appear with him at

3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil.6 slices bacon.3 pounds lean stewing beef cut into 2-inch cubes.Salt and pepper.2 carrots sliced.10-12 small pearl onions OR 1 small white onion diced.8 ounce mushrooms sliced.2 cups red wine young and full-bodied (like Beaujolais, Cotes du Rhone or Burgundy)½ cup water (about 2 quarts, enough if you need a lot of it to bring up the liquid)2 tablespoons butter. You don't need to add it right away.
Pour some of the vegetable broth into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Pulse until all of the fat and water have evaporated and the soup comes up with a nice, fluffy consistency.
Add the rest of the vegetable broth in the same mixing bowl.
Add the onions and mushrooms. Saute for a few minutes over medium heat, until well-browned. If you don't have room in your kitchen for lots of onions and mushrooms, then cut them into pieces and toss them in a bowl of water.
Stir in the beef bouillon cube and a cup or two of water that has been added to the pot. Bring to a boil and then lower heat and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 20-30 minutes, or until the beef

is a hot dog a sandwich?
A hot dog is a sandwich, but a hot dog is not a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich
When I buy a sandwich, the sandwich I'm buying is a sandwich. How could it be otherwise?!
I bought the sandwich.
I got the hot dog.
I ate it.
You're right, a hot dog is a sandwich, but a hot dog is not a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich.
If you want to know about why you need one to eat a sandwich, ask your grandma.
