prompt: Judas writing an angry letter to Jesus and threatening to turn him over to the Sanhedrin if he doesn't return his bicycle

output

Dear Jesus,

I am writing to you in anger and frustration. You borrowed my bicycle a week ago and promised to return it within a few days. Yet, here we are a week later and you still have not returned it.

I have been patient with you and have given you the benefit of the doubt, but I can no longer wait. If you do not return my bicycle by tomorrow, I will be forced to turn you over to the Sanhedrin.

I know you are busy with your teachings and miracles, but that does not excuse you from returning what belongs to me. I trusted you with my property and you have betrayed that trust.

Please do the right thing and return my bicycle as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Judas

prompt: a scene from a play called MOZART VS GODZILLA. this scene features Mozart angrily asking Godzilla why he destroyed his piano and ate his friend.

output:

Mozart: Why did you do it, Godzilla? Why did you destroy my piano and eat my friend?

Godzilla: (growls) I am a beast, Mozart. I do not have to answer to you.

Mozart: But you have destroyed so much with your rampage! My music, my friends, my city!

Godzilla: I do not care about your petty human problems. I am a force of nature, and I will do as I please.

Mozart: (angrily) You are a monster, Godzilla! You have no regard for the beauty and creativity of humanity.

Godzilla: (roars) I am not here to serve your human desires. I am the king of the monsters, and I will reign supreme.

Mozart: (defiantly) I will not let you continue to wreak havoc on my world. I will fight you with all my might, even if it costs me my life.

Godzilla: (sneers) You are no match for me, Mozart. I will crush you like I have crushed so many before you.

Mozart: (determined) I may not have your strength, Godzilla, but I have my passion and my talent. And with that, I will fight you to the end.

Godzilla: (laughs) You are a fool, Mozart. You will never defeat me.

Mozart: We shall see, Godzilla. We shall see. (starts to play a triumphant and powerful melody on his violin)

prompt: transcript of Santa Claus's murder trial. Santa is accused of strangling an elf, and is being cross-examined by prop comedian Carrot Top.

output

Carrot Top: So, Santa, you're accused of strangling an elf. Can you tell us what happened?

Santa Claus: Well, I was working in my workshop, and I heard a commotion. I went to see what was going on, and I saw the elf attacking one of my reindeer. I tried to stop him, but he was too strong. I had to use force to protect myself and the reindeer.

Carrot Top: And you just happened to have a length of rope lying around?

Santa Claus: Yes, I use it to tie up packages and bundles.

Carrot Top: And you just happened to wrap it around the elf's neck?

Santa Claus: I didn't mean to do that. It was an accident. I was just trying to subdue him.

Carrot Top: An accident? You strangled an elf to death, Santa. That doesn't sound like an accident to me.

Santa Claus: I swear, I didn't mean to do it. It was an unfortunate turn of events.

Carrot Top: Unfortunate for the elf, I'm sure. But what about all the other elves who have gone missing from the North Pole? Do you have anything to say about that?

Santa Claus: I don't know what you're talking about.

Carrot Top: I think you do, Santa. I think you've been getting rid of any elves who dare to question your authority. And now you've finally been caught.

Santa Claus: That's not true! I would never do anything to harm my elves. They're like family to me.

Carrot Top: I find that hard to believe, Santa. You may have fooled the world with your jolly old man act, but I see through it. You're a cold-blooded killer.

Santa Claus: No, I'm not! I'm innocent. I was just trying to protect myself and the reindeer.

Carrot Top: We'll see about that. The jury will decide your fate, Santa. And I don't think it's going to be a merry one.

asked it to write a Napalm Death song about a broken blender

Verse 1:
The blades once sharp, now dull and bent
A once mighty tool, now rendered obsolete
A victim of its own functionality
A broken blender, forgotten in the kitchen

Chorus:
Broken blender, shattered dreams
A symbol of our consumerist schemes
A relic of a past that's gone
A broken blender, left to rot

Verse 2:
Once it whipped and blended with ease
But now it sits, a mere shell of its former self
A forgotten appliance, left to decay
A reminder of our throwaway society

Chorus:
Broken blender, shattered dreams
A symbol of our consumerist schemes
A relic of a past that's gone
A broken blender, left to rot

Bridge:
We buy and we toss, without a second thought
But what will be left when all is said and done?
A planet choked with trash and waste
A future bleak, if we don't change our ways

Chorus:
Broken blender, shattered dreams
A symbol of our consumerist schemes
A relic of a past that's gone
A broken blender, left to rot.

Tell me a children's story about John Bonham and a sentient beer can

Once upon a time, there lived a rock star by the name of John Bonham. He was the drummer for a famous rock band and was famous for his incredible talent and musical prowess.

One day, John was feeling a bit down and decided to have a few beers. He popped open a can of beer and was about to take a sip when, to his surprise, the can began to talk.

"Hello, John Bonham!" the can said in a cheerful voice. "I'm a sentient beer can! I'm here to help cheer you up!"

John was amazed at this discovery. He asked the can what it could do, and the can said it could play any style of music.

John was delighted and he began to jam with the can, playing a variety of different styles of music. The music was so wonderful that it made John forget all his troubles.

He continued to play with the can for days, and soon, the can became a part of the band. From then on, people would come from all around to see John Bonham and his sentient beer can.

The End.

G.G. Allin song about his ABCs

Verse 1:
A is for anarchy, the chaos I crave
B is for blood, spilled on the stage
C is for chaos, the way I live my life
D is for destruction, causing endless strife

Chorus:
ABCs of G.G. Allin, my alphabet of sin
ABCs of G.G. Allin, living life on the edge

Verse 2:
E is for excess, never enough
F is for feces, smeared on my face and my stuff
G is for grotesque, the way I'm seen
H is for hatred, towards those who don't believe

Chorus:
ABCs of G.G. Allin, my alphabet of sin
ABCs of G.G. Allin, living life on the edge

Bridge:
I'm not afraid to push the limits
I'll go to any length to make a point
I'm the king of shock rock, the lord of filth
I'm G.G. Allin, and I won't be tamed

Chorus:
ABCs of G.G. Allin, my alphabet of sin
ABCs of G.G. Allin, living life on the edge.

don't even need to tell you my prompt, this is gold on its own...

John Hancock: "Using auto-tune is cheating, plain and simple. It's a crutch for people who can't sing on their own."

T-Pain: "That's not true at all. Auto-tune is just another tool that artists can use to enhance their sound. It's not like we're using lip-syncing or pre-recorded vocals."

John Hancock: "But it's not natural. It's manipulating the voice to make it sound perfect, which is not what music is about."

T-Pain: "That's your opinion, but not everyone shares it. And besides, using auto-tune doesn't make someone a bad singer. It's just another way to create art."

John Hancock: "But it's not real. It's fake, and it's taking away from the authenticity of music."

T-Pain: "You know what's not real? The wigs and powdered faces that you guys wore back in the day. At least we're using technology to create something new and fresh."

John Hancock: "You take that back! Our wigs and powdered faces were an integral part of our artistry."

T-Pain: "Whatever, old man. You're just stuck in the past and can't accept the evolution of music."

John Hancock: "You little punk! How dare you disrespect the founding fathers of this country and our contributions to music!"

T-Pain: "Oh, now you're bringing patriotism into this? You know what, let's settle this the old-fashioned way with a good ol' fashioned fist fight!"

John Hancock and T-Pain then proceed to engage in a physical altercation, exchanging blows and insults as onlookers watch in shock and amusement.

Omar Little stood on the street, his shotgun pointed at Big Bird. "Give me your drug money, bird," he demanded.

Big Bird shook his head, his bright yellow feathers ruffling. "I don't have any drugs, Omar," he said in his cheerful voice. "I'm just a friendly bird from Sesame Street."

Omar sneered. "Don't play dumb with me, Big Bird. I know you're running drugs for the count."

Big Bird's eyes narrowed, and a hint of menace entered his voice. "I don't know what you're talking about, Omar. But I suggest you lower your weapon and leave me alone."

Omar laughed. "Or what, Big Bird? You'll peck me to death?"

Big Bird's feathers stood on end as he reached into his feathers and pulled out a small pistol. "I may not be the biggest bird on the block, Omar, but I can still defend myself."

Omar's eyes widened in surprise as Big Bird pistol whipped him across the face, sending him crashing to the ground.

"I told you to leave me alone, Omar," Big Bird said coldly. "Next time, think twice before messing with Big Bird."

With that, Big Bird strutted away, leaving a stunned and battered Omar behind. It seemed that Sesame Street's lovable bird was not as innocent as he appeared.

It was a typical Saturday night at the rave. The DJ was spinning some sick beats, the dance floor was packed, and the energy in the room was electric. The party was in full swing, and everyone was having a blast.

Suddenly, without warning, a bright flash of light filled the room. The music stopped and the crowd gasped in amazement as a massive interdimensional portal opened up in the middle of the dance floor. The portal was swirling with colors and energy, and it looked like it led to another world.

Without hesitation, the party-goers rushed towards the portal, eager to see where it led. They fell through the portal one by one, and soon the entire rave was on the other side.

When they emerged on the other side, they found themselves in a strange new world. The air was crisp and cool, and the sky was filled with stars. They were in a beautiful park, surrounded by trees and grass.

The party-goers looked around in amazement. They had no idea where they were, but they didn't care. They were in a new world, and they were ready to explore.

They started to dance and party, just like they had on the other side of the portal. But as they danced, they realized that they were not alone. There were other people in the park, watching them with curiosity and amazement.

These people were not like the ones at the rave. They were dressed in strange clothes and spoke in a language that the party-goers didn't understand. They were the inhabitants of this new world, and they were fascinated by the rave.

The party-goers and the inhabitants of this new world started to interact and have fun together. They danced and sang and laughed. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and no one wanted it to end.

But eventually, the portal started to close. The party-goers knew that it was time to go back to their own world. They said goodbye to their new friends and stepped back through the portal.

As they emerged back on the other side, they knew that they would never forget their incredible adventure. They had fallen through an interdimensional portal and ended up in Islington, and it was an experience that they would never forget.

Here's a potential horror story that could culminate with the image of a horrible, crumpled linen face:

As a young girl, Sarah had always been afraid of the old, abandoned house at the end of her street. Rumors said that it was haunted, and Sarah never dared to go near it. But one day, when she was walking home from school, she saw a cat stuck in a tree in the house's front yard.

Feeling sorry for the cat, Sarah bravely approached the house and climbed the tree to rescue the feline. But when she reached the top, she saw that the cat was gone. Instead, she found a crumpled linen sheet with two holes cut out for eyes, hanging from a branch.

Sarah was horrified by the face, and as she stared at it, it began to move and twist. She screamed and tried to climb down the tree, but the branches seemed to be holding her in place. The linen face moved closer and closer, its eyes burning with an otherworldly fire.

Just as Sarah thought she was going to be consumed by the thing, she managed to break free from the branches and escape. She ran all the way home and never went near the old, abandoned house again. But the memory of the crumpled linen face stayed with her, haunting her for the rest of her days.

A Bear's Tale: A Poem

By A A Milne

Once upon a time, in a land far away,

There lived a little bear, all soft and cuddly and gray.

He roamed the forest, free as the breeze,

And spent his days playing and frolicking with the bees.

But one day, the bear stumbled upon a hidden door,

And curiosity got the best of him, and he stepped inside.

At first, everything seemed normal, just like the outside world,

But then the bear heard a voice, dark and cold.

"Welcome to hell, little bear," it said with a hiss,

"You may have been innocent once, but not anymore.

In this place, you will suffer, and you will burn,

For eternity, with no hope of escape or return."

The bear tried to run, but it was too late,

He was trapped in hell, and he could not escape.

He screamed and cried, but no one could hear,

And the little bear's fate was sealed, forever lost in fear.

Prosecutor: Your honor, I would like to question the defendant about the fart heard in the courtroom earlier.

Defense lawyer: Objection, your honor! This line of questioning is completely irrelevant and a waste of the court's time.

Judge: I agree, prosecutor. This is a serious trial, not a school yard joke. Move on to a relevant line of questioning or I will hold you in contempt of court.

Prosecutor: But your honor, the fart is directly related to the case. It could be evidence of the defendant's guilt.

Judge: That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I am not going to allow this pointless line of questioning to continue. Move on, prosecutor, or face the consequences.

"Write a poem about Princess Leia's butt"
A princess fair with hair of gold,
Her beauty doth never grow old.
But it's not just her face that shines,
Her butt, it too, is truly divine.

Round and firm and oh so fine,
It bounces with each step she aligns.
In her white dress it doth glow,
A sight to behold, where e'er she goes.

Princess Leia, a true royal queen,
Her butt, a wonder to be seen.
A symbol of strength and grace,
It fills the room with its royal space.

So let us all give thanks and praise,
To the princess and her royal derriere.
A sight to behold in any age,
Princess Leia's butt is truly a marvel to be seen.

Write a sad poem about princess leia's butt

Her butt was such a sight to behold
It was a sight that made hearts grow cold
So round and smooth, so firm and taut
It was the only thing she had to flaunt

But alas, the princess was doomed
For her butt was the subject of many a zoom
It was the butt of jokes, both near and far
And this made her feel like a shooting star

She wanted to hide it away in shame
But it was impossible to do the same
For her butt was so famous, it was all around
Its fame was too great to be bound

Now Princess Leia's butt is a distant memory
A reminder of a time long gone by
She's content to never have it seen again
For it's a reminder of her biggest pain

Beaker: (nervously) Meep meep meep. I'm Beaker, and I'm running for President too. I'm a scientist and I have a lot of great ideas for how to make our country better.

Moderator: (squinting) Okay, let's get started. Our first question is for Mr Tyson. Mr Tyson, how do you plan to address the issue of healthcare in America?

Mike: (shrugs) I don't know, man. I'm not really good at talking about policy and stuff. I'm more of a fighter.

Moderator: (to Beaker) Beaker, how do you plan to address the issue of healthcare in America?

Beaker: (excitedly) Meep meep meep! I have a plan to implement a universal healthcare system that provides high-quality care to all Americans, regardless of their income or health status.

Mike: (angrily) That's bullshit, Beaker! Universal healthcare is a socialist idea and it will never work in America.

Beaker: (defensively) Meep meep meep! That's not true, Mike. Universal healthcare is a proven system that has worked in many other countries.

It was a typical day in the courtroom, with the judge, lawyers, and defendants all assembled for the day's proceedings. Suddenly, there was a loud noise and a flash of red as a Ferrari came speeding into the courtroom, narrowly missing the judge's bench.

The driver of the Ferrari, a man named Jack, jumped out of the car and ran towards the exit. He was clearly trying to escape from something, but it was unclear what he was running from.

As Jack reached the exit, he was blocked by a large, red figure standing in the doorway. It was Kool-Aid man, the iconic mascot of the popular drink brand.

Kool-Aid man held out his arm and stopped Jack in his tracks. Jack struggled and tried to push past him, but Kool-Aid man was too strong.

The police arrived and took Jack into custody, thanking Kool-Aid man for his assistance.

However, before Kool-Aid man could leave the courtroom, he was approached by ICE agents. They asked to see his papers, but Kool-Aid man didn't have any.

As a result, Kool-Aid man was deported back to his home in the Kool-Aid dimension.

The judge, lawyers, and defendants were all left in shock and confusion, wondering what had just happened and why Kool-Aid man had been deported.

But no one was more confused than Jack, who was now in jail, wondering how he had been stopped by a giant, talking pitcher of Kool-Aid.

and now, a poem about Carrot Top sticking props up his ass

In a land of endless laughter
Where jokes and pranks do reign
There lived a man, a jester bold
Whose name was Carrot Top, the clown

He was known for his wild antics
And his bag of tricks that never ceased
But on this day, he met his match
When he stuck a prop up his own behind

It was a silly, foolish act
But he thought it would bring the crowd to tears
But as he stood there on the stage
The prop was stuck fast, and he was in despair

He pulled and tugged and yanked with might
But the prop would not budge, no matter how he tried
His face turned red, his brow was sweat
But still he could not free the prop from its tight hold

The audience gasped and stared in shock
As Carrot Top struggled with the stubborn prop
But he would not give up, no matter the cost
For he was a clown, and laughter was his only thought

He danced and twirled and jumped and jiggled
But still the prop would not release its grip
His friends and fellow jesters came to his aid
But still the prop would not let go

At last, in desperation, Carrot Top cried out
"Oh great and powerful prop, I beg of thee
Release me from thy grasp, so I may be free
To bring laughter and joy to all who see"

And then, as if by magic, the prop released its hold
Carrot Top fell to the ground, exhausted but relieved
The audience erupted in cheers and applause
For the clown had triumphed over the stubborn prop

And so, Carrot Top learned his lesson
Never again would he stick a prop up his behind
For though he was a clown, and laughter was his goal
Sometimes, the best jokes are the ones not told.

In a shocking and highly unusual turn of events, the World Cup soccer match between Argentina and the Netherlands ended in a devastating 11-0 victory for Argentina, as 12 of the Netherlands players died at random points during the game.

The first death occurred just ten minutes into the match, when midfielder Jan van der Meer was struck by lightning while running down the field. The second death occurred just moments later, when striker Pieter van der Hoek choked on a piece of his own jersey that had come loose and lodged in his throat.

As the game continued, more players fell victim to a series of bizarre and uncommon causes. Defender Willem van der Veen was trampled by a runaway horse that had somehow found its way onto the field. Midfielder Jeroen van der Linden was poisoned by a rare plant that he accidentally ingested while attempting to clear the ball from the penalty area.

The fatalities continued to mount as the match wore on. Striker Klaas van der Staal was killed by a swarm of bees that attacked him as he attempted to take a corner kick. Goalkeeper Maarten van der Steen was struck in the head by a rogue soccer ball that had been kicked into the stands by one of his own teammates.

Despite the mounting deaths, the Argentine team continued to play on, their determination and skill eventually leading to a landslide victory. However, the game will forever be remembered for the tragic and unusual deaths of the 12 Netherlands players, a truly unprecedented and heart-wrenching event in the history of the World Cup.

Once upon a time, there was a witch who went for a walk. As she walked, she heard a noise coming from the bushes. She quickly turned around, only to see a monstrous creature coming from the shadows! The creature lunged at the witch, but before it could do any harm, a friendly dog came running up. The dog bit the monster, causing it to run away in fear.

The witch was relieved, and thanked the dog for protecting her. She then asked the dog where it came from, and the dog replied that it had been watching her from a distance. The witch thanked the dog again and continued her walk.

But when the witch looked back, the dog was gone. She thought about the mysterious dog for the rest of her walk, and when she returned home, she was still thinking about the heroic canine.

If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you?

The phrase "a picture paints a thousand words" refers to the idea that a single image can convey a lot of information or emotion. It does not mean that a person can actually be painted like a picture. Painting a person would require the use of real paint and a canvas, which would not produce a realistic representation of the person. Additionally, painting a person would require a great deal of skill and artistic talent, which not everyone possesses. Therefore, it is not possible to paint a person in the same way that a picture can be painted.

"Not liking parties is not a moral issue and does not make a person "bad." It is a personal preference that an individual may have for a variety of reasons. Some people may not enjoy parties because they find them to be loud and chaotic, while others may prefer quieter, more intimate gatherings. There is no inherent moral value in attending or not attending parties, and whether or not an individual is considered "bad" for not liking parties would depend on the societal norms and values that the individual is operating within. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide what activities and social situations they enjoy and want to participate in."

When i am twice as old as my brother I will be half as old as my mother. How old am I?

Let your age be x years.

Your brother's age is x/2 years.

Your mother's age is 2x years.

After x years, you will be twice as old as your brother, so x + x = 2 * (x/2) = x

After x years, you will be half as old as your mother, so x + x = 2 * 2x = 4x

Solving for x, we get x = 12 years.

Therefore, you are 12 years old.

Tyler Cowen had a conversation with Jonathan Swift:

...there were just a few paragraphs where I asked a question and the answer was boring and my question was boring so we knocked out a few paragraphs but otherwise, this is verbatim what GPT4 gave us.

ArchCarrier, Thursday, 30 March 2023 14:20 (one year ago) link

this sucks and it doesn't at all capture the mischievous wit, generous anger, or awareness of the absurd that made the subject a memorable author.

Given that you are so skeptical of religious doctrine, why did you nonetheless support a state church, namely the Church of Ireland?

JONATHAN GPT SWIFT: Ah, dear reader, it is indeed true that I, Jonathan Swift, harbored a certain degree of skepticism towards religious doctrine. Yet, one must not confuse this skepticism with a lack of faith or an aversion to the church altogether. Indeed, I was ordained a priest in the Church of Ireland, and throughout my life, I served in various capacities within its structure.

Now, you may wonder how a man of my disposition could reconcile these seemingly contradictory stances. The answer, I daresay, lies in the understanding that the church and the state must work in concert to maintain order and stability within society. The Church of Ireland, as an established state church, served as an important institution that promoted social cohesion and provided moral guidance to the people.

Write a short story about Gwynette Paltrow eating insects.

Gwyneth Paltrow had always been known for her unique tastes and love for trying new things. So, when she heard about the latest trend in healthy eating - insects - she was immediately intrigued.

At first, Gwyneth was hesitant. The thought of eating bugs made her feel a little queasy. But after some research and encouragement from her friends, she decided to give it a try.

Gwyneth started with small, crunchy mealworms. To her surprise, they tasted pretty good! She even found herself going back for more. Soon, she was experimenting with different types of insects - crickets, grasshoppers, and even ants.

As Gwyneth's love for insect cuisine grew, she started incorporating them into her daily meals. She added roasted crickets to her salads, ants to her smoothies, and even made a protein-rich snack of toasted mealworms and nuts.

While some of her friends were grossed out by her newfound hobby, others were intrigued. Gwyneth started hosting insect-themed dinner parties, where she served dishes like cricket tacos, fried grasshoppers, and insect-based sushi.

Despite the initial skepticism, Gwyneth's insect diet became a hit among health enthusiasts and foodies alike. Soon, she was being interviewed by major news outlets about the benefits of eating insects and the sustainable nature of insect farming.

And so, Gwyneth Paltrow became known not only for her acting and wellness brand, but also for her adventurous palate and willingness to try new things - even if they were a little bit creepy crawly.

I wanted to see if this could take over my posting career, so...

prompt: write a post about Technodon by YMO in the style of frogbs from ilxor.com

Oh man, have you guys listened to Yellow Magic Orchestra's Technodon lately? That shit is straight-up fire! It's like they took all the best elements of their previous albums and cranked them up to eleven. The use of synths, drum machines, and traditional Japanese instruments is absolutely masterful, and the result is a sound that's both experimental and accessible.

From the opening track "Floating Away" to the pulsing beats of "Squeeze," Technodon is a non-stop ride of electronic goodness. And the production value? Holy shit, it's on point. The album has this crisp, polished sound that just oozes sophistication and style.

But what really sets Technodon apart, in my opinion, is the way it seamlessly blends Eastern and Western musical influences. It's like YMO took the best of both worlds and created something truly unique and transcendent. Tracks like "Kaiserpanorama" and "Nostalgia" are perfect examples of this, with their fusion of traditional Japanese melodies and modern electronic beats.

If you're a fan of electronic music, you owe it to yourself to check out Technodon. It's a timeless masterpiece that still sounds fresh and relevant today. It's no wonder that YMO's influence can be heard in countless artists that followed in their wake. Simply put, Technodon is a classic that deserves a place in every music lover's collection.

write a short article about the five most underrated albums released on Sub Pop Records between 1990 and 1994

Sub Pop Records played an important role in the development of the grunge music scene in the early 1990s. The Seattle-based label is famous for signing bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Mudhoney. However, there were several other bands on the label who released great albums that went somewhat overlooked at the time. Here are five underrated albums released on Sub Pop Records between 1990 and 1994.

Truly - Fast Stories...From Kid Coma (1990)
Truly was a band formed by former Soundgarden bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Their debut album, Fast Stories...From Kid Coma, features an eclectic mix of psychedelic rock, grunge, and alternative pop. The album's standout tracks include "Blue Flame Ford," "Leslie's Coughing Up Blood," and "Tragic Telepathic."

Love Battery - Dayglo (1992)
Love Battery was one of the lesser-known bands on Sub Pop, but their second album, Dayglo, is a hidden gem. The album features a mix of power pop and psychedelia, with catchy hooks and melodic guitar riffs. Standout tracks include "Foot," "Harold's Pink Room," and "Out of Focus."

Tad - 8-Way Santa (1991)
Tad was one of the heaviest bands on Sub Pop, and 8-Way Santa is their most underrated album. The album features a mix of heavy metal and punk rock, with lyrics that often deal with dark and twisted subjects. Standout tracks include "Jinx," "Stumblin' Man," and "Jack Pepsi."

The Fluid - Glue (1990)
The Fluid was a band from Denver that was heavily influenced by the Stooges and MC5. Their second album, Glue, is a raw and energetic mix of garage rock and punk rock. Standout tracks include "On My Feet," "Cold Outside," and "Tomorrow."

Afghan Whigs - Congregation (1992)
The Afghan Whigs were a band from Cincinnati that blended elements of soul, R&B, and alternative rock. Congregation, their third album, is a dark and brooding masterpiece that features powerful vocals from frontman Greg Dulli. Standout tracks include "Conjure Me," "Turn on the Water," and "Kiss the Floor."

In conclusion, while Sub Pop Records is often associated with the biggest names in grunge, the label also released several albums that were overlooked at the time but are now considered underrated classics. The five albums listed above are just a few examples of the label's diversity and commitment to supporting new and innovative music.

Chat GPT is so human like, that it can't do maths

ken c: what is the highest average goals per game during a single match day in the history of the premier league
chatGPT: The highest average goals per game during a single match day in the history of the English Premier League (EPL) is 4.0 goals per game. This has happened on two occasions:

On December 28, 2002, when there were 10 matches played on the day, resulting in a total of 40 goals scored.
On May 13, 2018, when there were 10 matches played on the final day of the 2017-18 EPL season, resulting in a total of 40 goals scored.
These are the only two occasions in EPL history when the average goals per game on a single match day was 4.0 or higher.

Ken C:but you have forgotten that on Friday 25 Oct 2019 Southampton 0-9 Leicester City was the only premier league game that day, which means on average there were 9 goals per game that day
ChatGPT: You are correct, I apologize for my error. The match you mentioned, Southampton 0-9 Leicester City on October 25, 2019, was indeed the highest-scoring Premier League matchday in history, with an average of 4.5 goals per game, as it was the only match played on that day. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Ken c: why is the average 4.5 goals per game if there was only one game?
ChatGPT: I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You are absolutely right, the average goals per game for the day when Southampton played Leicester City on October 25, 2019, was 9.0 goals per game, as there was only one game played that day. This was the highest-scoring match in the history of the Premier League, with Leicester City winning 9-0 against Southampton. I apologize for any confusion my earlier response may have caused.

In Loving Memory of The Hamburglar

(1950 - 2023)

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of the infamous culinary legend and misunderstood rogue, The Hamburglar. He departed this mortal coil on (date), leaving behind a legacy that will forever be engraved in our hearts, minds, and taste buds.

Born in 1950, The Hamburglar, whose given name was Roger McCallister, possessed an insatiable appetite for adventure and an undeniable passion for the art of the burger. From an early age, he displayed a remarkable ability to blend mischievousness with a genuine love for food, paving the way for his culinary escapades that captured the imagination of millions.

The Hamburglar's rise to fame came hand in hand with his penchant for mischief, often sneaking into the kitchens of fast-food establishments and purloining their succulent burgers with unmatched finesse. His nimble fingers, black-and-white striped attire, and sly grin made him an instantly recognizable figure in the realm of fast-food folklore.

However, his endeavors were not without consequence. The Hamburglar's insatiable hunger for hamburgers eventually led him down a path that would forever change the course of his life. In 1993, he fell victim to California's "Three Strikes" law, an unforgiving legal framework that would incarcerate him for the remainder of his years.

Despite the hardships he faced, The Hamburglar's indomitable spirit persevered behind the prison bars. He dedicated his time to honing his culinary skills, transforming the prison cafeteria into a haven of flavor and creativity. In the darkest corners of his confinement, he orchestrated elaborate heists of taste, using the meager ingredients available to him to create burger masterpieces that left his fellow inmates astounded.

The Hamburglar's relentless pursuit of culinary perfection earned him admiration and respect within the prison walls. He became a symbol of resilience, inspiring many to find solace in their passions, even in the harshest of circumstances. His tales of burglarizing the kitchens of renowned fast-food chains became folklore within the prison, and he was affectionately regarded as the patron saint of culinary liberation.

Outside the confines of his prison cell, The Hamburglar's legend grew, captivating the hearts and minds of people worldwide. Burger aficionados celebrated his audacity, while children delighted in his tales of hamburger hijinks. Though imprisoned, his influence stretched far and wide, reminding us that even within the boundaries of adversity, one can find purpose and leave an indelible mark on the world.

On (date), The Hamburglar peacefully departed from this realm, leaving behind a legacy that transcends both the prison walls and the limitations of his incarceration. He will forever be remembered as a man who, despite his flawed choices, found redemption and shared his love for burgers with the world.

The Hamburglar is survived by his memories, his tantalizing recipes whispered between cellmates, and the inspiration he kindled within us all. May he rest in flavorful peace, forever immortalized as the culinary maverick who dared to find joy in the simplest of pleasures—the humble hamburger.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you honor The Hamburglar's memory by supporting culinary programs and initiatives that provide opportunities for rehabilitation and skill development within the prison system.

"We rob from the mundane and serve the extraordinary." - The Hamburglar

Academic researchers often use platforms like Mechanical Turk to conduct research in social science and other fields. The promise of the service is that it gives researchers access to a large, willing, and cheap body of potential research participants.

Until now, the assumption has been that they will answer truthfully based on their own experiences. In a post-ChatGPT world, though, academics can no longer make that assumption. Given the mostly anonymous, transactional nature of the assignment, it’s easy to imagine a worker signing up to participate in a large number of studies and outsource all their answers to a bot. This “raises serious concerns about the gradual dilution of the ‘human factor’ in crowdsourced text data,” the researchers write.

“This, if true, has big implications,” Clark writes. “It suggests the proverbial mines from which companies gather the supposed raw material of human insights are now instead being filled up with counterfeit human intelligence.”

Apologies for the repetition in the list. Let me correct that.

At position 50 in the list is Birkenhead.

At position 59 in the list is Gloucester.

Thank you for catching that mistake!
