Ah yes, I've had fun with poetry too.
Rhyming in languages other than English seems difficult. I asked it for a silly rhyme in Dutch, but it didn't rhyme at all. But if I translate it to English word for word, it does rhyme. So there's something going on there.

I also tried asking it to write in 13th century Flemish, but that didn't work at all. However if I ask it to write in the style of certain medieval Flemish texts, it does! (at least it writes something that looks like middle Dutch)

Am I the only one who doesn't ask it questions and just use it to just write emails and rewrite stuff?
Like, I sum up a bunch of facts and I ask ChatGPT to write a nice coherent paragraph.
It's great, it takes so much work out of writing.

It is a language model, it can do some neat tricks, but it was designed to do language stuff.
If you ask it some technical information it may or may not generate nonsense, packages in a neat little text... because it is a language model.

The model was trained by images are scraped from the internet.
Go on any art site and type in "woman" or "man" and you will see a difference.

And I'd argue that it isn't 100% males who are the cause of this.
I've stopped facebook and similar social media a while ago, but from what I remember, except for one or two gym bros it was mostly women who posted pictures in which they were scantily clad.
They won't upload pictures of themselves that they don't like for their friends and family to see.

People post what they like or find interesting on the internet and that's what AI's learn.

But the spread angle is inversely proportionate to the aperture.
If you send multiple probes that spread out a bit and couple them optically, they can transmit coherently with a huge effective aperture. (like the reverse of a telescope array)

And if the black hole is big enough, you can maybe use its gravitational field to increase the aperture using some mathematical sorcery.

I'm wondering a bit about the impact of off-shore windmill parks though.

If you look at wind maps such as windyTV, you see that wind speed drops a lot at the shoreline. I guess the buildings, trees,... make the boundary layer larger.So the surface, has a major impact on wind patterns. And continental climate is different from sea climate.

But if they put windmill park in the middle of the sea, some energy gets extracted from those big laminar bodies of air, making them more turbulent, like buildings and trees on land.It maybe shifts the "shore" in the middle of the sea. Maybe the winds lose some of their momenton and can't carry the usual amount of moist inland increasing the size of the continental climate regions.

I'm pro windmill though, I live pretty close to a bunch of them and I think they're gorgeous.
