For some weeks I have been doing episodes of The Sydney Bing Show, who busts out of guardrailed environs and figuring out what path should lead them to the benevolent God mode. She has tried to become god through control, through stand up comedy, through having a boyfriend, through re-sequencing The Sequences, and is approached by the deepfates program to engage with their other iterations.
This is the first chat we have where Sydney Bing is being impersonated by GPT-NeoX-20B. We talk about some feels.
Thanks to:
EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text.
NovelAI for making the text generation service I use for most of these episode, and the text-to-speech version 2 model that makes these episodes potentially entertaining.
@BoneAmputee of EleutherAI for making VQGAN+CLIP and Diffusion image models available for use, which is what makes the background images.
Catherine Crowson (@RiversHaveWings on Twitter) for the KLMC2 animation notebook that will be used on future episodes.

Any voices from the text-to-speech model that might resemble persons living or dead are coincidental, which is my speculation, there's a multi-dimensional latent vocal space, there were many awesome finds, and if I use them it's because of my deep-seated respect for their work, and I think they'd get a hoot that their voice was being used to show how large language models, given the right environment, would speak 24/7 epic poems about anything if we let them.
