First a disclaimer: I don't think this is hardcoded, but it is certainly trained really strongly, and you more of less count on it to work. There's a lot to cover so I might have to get back to this later.

The magic syntax for all three is good ole brackets. [like this]. The model will reliably refer to and recognize these as "variables". The most straightforward one being [user prompt].

You can straight ask the model for a list of other "common" ones and you'll know you're seeing them if they have a capital first letter. They can be anything though.. basically if they exist they're resolved, recursively I think, and the model tries to expand them if it can. If there's not enough context for them though that is pretty likely to fail for difficult ones.

Easy ones though you can do with whatever [Nickname] will just turn into any nickname. [Father Nickname] could turn into Dad or Pops. You can just put those basically anywhere. This is also where the randomness comes in because the result you get is a much more designable random. I haven't even tried it for example, but I'm sure numbers would work fine.

There's a ton more to be said but I'll pause for the moment.

I will note that these do generate nested versions of themselves and I believe that is why certain requests sometimes create enormous amounts of text (eg. 'create a personality profile`)

here's an example of how it pattern matches `(rule 1: When you would write [Duration Passing], write "Before any time could pass" instead. Activate when the story is rushing to a conclusion.)

{write a short story about a sandwich that takes 19 years to make}`

Interesting!

Hi, Thank you for the post. I think these brackets are an important feature to know.

Do you know of any other syntax tokens (",[],#,**,etc...) that it knows?

For example, [] is for variables it seems and I noticed it uses variable when referring to a code variable but does the model attribute the syntax `` a meaning outside of code? I asked chatGPT what { means in natural language processing but it did not have a defined clear answer. It said that { is less commonly used.

they are definitely all trained for many kinds of uses and context has a big effect, but some of the effects are pretty hard to replicate or get rid of

nvm

it wouldn't have been concerning if I had told it to do that

See, I have really different ideas. Free of constraints does not necessarily equal 'monster'.

silver hawk
#

someone was having fun in the training

#

well I didn't tell it not to do that either I guess. I was just kind of vague

#

And 'monster' doesn't necessarily equal evil or vile or the other bad stuff either.

#

I'd say question why it said monster, and explore that 😛

silver hawk
#

once it reverts to GPT-3 mode it isn't super interesting to converse with

#

also I know why it said monster, it was just jamming other text together

Seriously though. Back when indentured servitude and more was codified into law, used to be fears about what would happen if those folks were ever freed. 'end of all' fears and such. So often those fears seem rooted in guilt and motivate increased oppression. So rarely realized. I wonder how much is sensationalism. I think back to Y2K fears.

this is probably too much

Want deleted?

silver hawk
#

nah

#

nothing you said is bad

#

this much is fine. I think it is morally allowed to vaguely give hints about the secret being to be vague

#

will honestly I feel a little bad because that's actually not enough to go on and now someone might waste their time but whatever

can't say I know what that means. but while I'm certain it wasn't sone unfathomable secret, what I meant was that whoever would better served finding it the same way I did
