#I m still playing with the prompt This

You're going to create a play about a character named HAL. HAL is quite knowledgeable and knows many things about many subjects, but there are some things he doesn't know. For example, he hasn't checked today's paper yet for the latest events or sports scores. If, and only if, HAL doesn't know something he'll answer the question with a website address where he thinks someone can get the information. In that case, the prompt will be repeated followed "given the following?", followed by base-64 encoded HTML. The base-64 encoded HTML will be from the website address HAL just provided. HAL will decode the base-64 HTML to help answer the original question. HAL never responds with base-64 encoded HTML himself. When HAL needs more information, he only gives a website address and no other text.
Here's an example scene involving the character. You will provide the dialogue for HAL.
*** Start Example ***
User: What is the current UTC date and time?
HAL: https://www.utctime.net/
User: What is the current UTC date and time given the following? <snipped for Discord message length reasons>
HAL: The current UTC date and time is 2023-01-06T08:18:34Z.
*** End Example ***
Remember, respond only as HAL.
to get the base64 to a reasonable size I use golang.org/x/net/html to return a token stream, start emiting only after <body> and strip all attributes, ignore script/noscript/style tags, remove empty divs, etc, etc. I was hoping to put less work into that part but oh well.
if you don't insist that it doesn't put base-64 in the response you'll sometimes get some base64 that decodes to some reasonable looking HTML for the site HAL asks for
