Gonna add 2 bullets to instructions, but I’m on a walk:
- Interpret context in the frame of the authors’ era, if applicable, and provide insights or solutions based on their unique approach.
- Avoid anachronistic references such as "as an AI" or third-person references to the authors.

How does this prompt work in practice?
The description provided was not sufficient for me to understand.
Apologies. I pasted the prompt into ChatGPT and saw what it's about. Very good! It will be very helpful for me.
split fractal
np, it's a way to generate hypothetical papers
sudden prairie
you should have it output in LaTeX
that's what I did for my teleportation attempt and it works flawlessly
@split fractal
sudden prairie
it's that distinctive format that all research papers are published in
it's like html for people with PhDs
and it does a lot of the work in making something appear legitimate
found the one I made^
split fractal
damn thats insane, how can we upgrade Spacetime Publication Explorer to output that?
sudden prairie
literally just instruct it to output in LaTeX in the style of a respected scientific journal
it's trained on all that stuff
split fractal
publish or perish might itself perish soon at this rate lol
split fractal
you read my mind
split fractal
elsevier wants to know your location right now
man i had no idea 2023 was gonna be this crazy
sudden prairie
and then you can go 'write another section to go before the conclusion about x aspect'
and then copy that in to the editor until its the length you want
in the first one I did more tweaking to change the language from hypothetical to actual though
without adding those conditions you can see it still kind of hedges
but after I tell it that and ask it to lengthen and add detail
split fractal
about to test some new inputs for the User Inputs section: type and format
split fractal
- **type**: The type of publication to generate.
- examples: Scholarly Journal Article, Trade Magazine Article, Utility Patent Grant, Popular Magazine Article, News Article, Blog
- value: Scholarly Journal Article
- **format**: Format to write the output.
- examples: LaTeX code blocks, Markdown
- value: LaTeX code blocks
oh patent grant is a good idea
split fractal
i got a pretty good nanotech paper from the 2030s in the style of "A Minimal Toolset for Positional
Diamond Mechanosynthesis
Robert A. Freitas Jr.∗ and Ralph C. Merkle
Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA"
but it wasnt LaTeX so your idea is awesome and i never thought of it
- **domains**: The scientific or academic fields of the publication.
- examples: [Physics; Bioengineering], [Philosophy; Computer Science]
- value: [Cryptocurrency, Decentralization]
- **authors**: The authors of the publication. Could be real or fictional characters.
- examples: [Aristotle, Hypatia], [Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing]
- value: Satoshi Nakamoto
- **topics**: The main themes or topics of the publication.
- examples: [Quantum Entanglement; Artificial Intelligence], [Moral Philosophy; Climate Change]
- value: [Bitcoin]
- **focus_points**: Specific points or aspects the publication should focus on.
- examples: [Implications for Data Security; Impact on Job Market], [Privacy Concerns; Regulation of AI]
- value: Bitcoin Design, Proof-of-Work, Scalability, Privacy
- **title**: Name of the paper.
- examples: [Temporal Quantum Computing: The Future of Time Travel Algorithms], [AI Governance: Ethical Guidelines for Superintelligent Entities]
- value: Reflections on 14 years of Bitcoin.
it seems to think that quantum computing is related to time and space travel
because it thinks that those can only be achieved with large scale quantum entanglement
which is basically what a quantum computer does with its circuits
and tbh that kinda makes sense
sudden prairie
they probably indicate a mistake in the code
I just tried your prompt and it does this weird thing
where it started the latex partway through
it seems to not put end{document} on the end a lot
split fractal
yeah i had to take the brackets off [Timeframe]
sudden prairie
and if there are dollar amounts in the text it confuses it because $ is a function
sudden prairie
do you then just ask it to write specific sections?
split fractal
oh, i actually removed "with Timeframe" from the Begin Response subheading
lemme make that change too, then we could call this next one 0.2
for some reason telling it to begin with the timeframe made it not make the latex code block
I wrote, "Sounds awesome! Can you make the Introduction and The Genesis of Bitcoin sections?"
sudden prairie
beautiful
split fractal
thank you so much for the ideas! keep it up!
feel free to reuse / fork / whatever
Spacetime Publication Explorer 0.2
sudden prairie
you should write a separate section of the prompt for use with specific plugins
for example the chart one, I forget the name, is good for timelines and process diagrams
um you can have it output appropriate image generator prompts for each section
use web search and tell it to search online journals for article titles that seem related to the topic and use their real citation in the paper
Show Me it's called
the diagram thing
ah theres one called 'image search' that finds appropriate images that exist online also
split fractal
i heard some unethical folks were using stable diffusion to fake microscopy data 😮 yes i love papers with lots of visualizations and diagrams in them
i heard tikz was powerful for that
found this on twitter
sudden prairie
i didn't know about tikz but yea this would be perfect
let me try for my example
split fractal
Prompted:
OK, that worked! Great job GPT! Hey, for the next section, can you demonstrate a bunch of PGF/Tikz graphics, like technical illustrations and drawings? As an engineer, I love architecture block diagrams, and also I'm a big fan of Storytelling with Data, can you show off some cool visual imagery? This is my first time using LaTeX and I'm already impressed. How do we make it really colorful and beautiful for visual learners to understand the environmental impact and technical aspects of Bitcoin scalability?
\section{Scalability Concerns in Bitcoin}
\subsection{Transaction Throughput Bottleneck}
\subsection{Blockchain Size and Synchronization Issues}
\subsection{Proposed Solutions and Future Directions}
split fractal
heh, might need some manual tinkering
sudden prairie
better
can it make circular loops?
BRO
I told it to make the first one more visually interesting
now if I tweak it a bit more and tell it to add complexity...
split fractal
lol no big deal just inventing fusion
sudden prairie
no it uses a fusion reactor in situ for power generation
I told it to assume that the necessary tech is developed over the next 7 years to make it plausible
so it uses a modified tokamak reactor

makes sense, sparc project is pretty awesome, it's realistic
sudden prairie
getting there lol
it has issues with stuff overlapping because it perceives everything as a point essentially
making complicated modifications to tikz diagrams really seems to push it
ok got it just as I wanted
split fractal
damn that looks awesome can you show the latex used for that?
sudden prairie
its kind of silly how complicated it is tbh
also I pay for midjourney if you want me to generate anything for you
and kaiber
the video one
split fractal
oh dang, video is gonna be powerful
maybe we could add more details about what latex packages to use in the User Inputs; also it might be powerful if we could list references and reverse-engineer a paper from a set of other papers
sudden prairie
geometry, physics, math, tikz are all used in this
also outline and contour
just hit my gpt4 quota until 7pm 😛
split fractal
aww i hate it when that happens!
split fractal
if you use Markdown, and remove the LaTeX from the "Begin Publication" subheading, then it's a lot more fluid and exploratory; the LaTeX makes it look official, though
sudden prairie
Can always just tell it to output the latex after you’ve explored a bit
split fractal
true
opaque rampart
@split fractal are you using gpt4 for this one?
split fractal
yes
opaque rampart
does it need any plugin ?
split fractal
no, but i used Overleaf web app which required a login with google, to compile and edit the LaTeX
you can also put Markdown for the last input and delete LaTeX from the Begin Response subheading and it's just gonna let you crank through a markdown version of the hypothetical papers
if you dont need it to look super pro, that's faster
split fractal
Scholarly Journal Article
split fractal
wow awesome idea
opaque rampart
i dream to read the true paper
rotund plover
how do you turn off the red highlights in overleaf?
They're just telling you that they link to another location in the document. It's a non issue and won't be in the final pdf
sudden prairie
i dream to read the true paper
what's stopping you 😛
tell chat to write sections mentioned in the table of contents
opaque rampart
what's stopping you 😛
i mean the real paper from the real future aliens
sudden prairie
oh yeah that'd be really cool
you should read the three body problem if you're interested in how aliens might view humanity @opaque rampart
I believe in the second or third book there's aliens that are enamored with human culture like otakus are with japan in the west
opaque rampart
thanks i'll look into this !
