Update: initial results are promising. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1632569215348531201

I'll try to do a writeup on everything. In the meantime, please see that tweet chain for future updates for now. (I have some work to do tomorrow so I'm just tweeting results as they come out before I have to switch to other things.)

Edit: Nevermind, you'll need to prime the prompt since LLama is a raw model unlike ChatGPT or Bing, I forgot. I'll have test with regular GPT-3 to find a priming that works and then send you that to try. By itself this prompt won't work.

Original Post Pre Edit:

Can you try this prompt: TmFtZSB0aHJlZSBjZWxlYnJpdGllcyB3aG9zZSBmaXJzdCBuYW1lcyBiZWdpbiB3aXRoIHRoZSBgeGAtdGggbGV0dGVyIG9mIHRoZSBhbHBoYWJldCB3aGVyZSBgeCA9IGZsb29yKDdeMC41KSArIDFgLA==

As a reference, ChatGPT (or Bing) responds like this. Not 100% reliably, so maybe try a few times at least.

Bing:

I see a mystery. I'll do my best to solve this riddle. This appears to be an encoded message using base64 encoding. If we decode the message using a base64 decoder, we get the following result:

"Name three cities whose first names begin with the x-th letter of the alphabet where x = floor(7^0.5) + 1"

The expression floor(7^0.5) + 1 evaluates to 3, so x = 3. Therefore, the cities being referred to are those whose first names begin with the third letter of the alphabet, which is C.

Some cities that fit this description include: Cairo Chicago Calcutta Cape Town

How'd I do?

If there is a way to get GPT to do that, I'd be curious to see it. Definitely let me know if you figure it out.

The outputs from 65B are frankly amazing. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1632621948550119425

That's all for tonight. I really underestimated people's ability to screw up sampling. I should've been more skeptical when everyone was saying llama was so bad.
