One of the ways I experiment with LLMs is to get them to write short stories.

Two axies: Quality and length.

They're good quality. Not award winning, but significantly better than e.g. even good Reddit fiction.

But they still struggle with length, despite what the specs say about context length. You might manage the script length needed for a kid's cartoon, but not yet a film.

I'll see if I can find another copy of the script; what I saw was long enough ago my computer had a PPC chip in it.

Pizza box? I loved the 6100.

Beige proto-iMac. I had a 5200 as a teen and upgraded to either a 5300 or a 5400 at university for a few years — the latter broke while at university and I upgraded again to an eMac, but I think this was before then.

Looks like there's many different old scripts, no idea which, if any, was what I read back in the day: https://old.reddit.com/r/matrix/comments/rb4x93/early_draft_...

I miss those days. Even software development back then was more fun with REALbasic than today with SwiftUI.

HA! I used REALbasic a bit back in the day, then spent my time comparing it to LiveCode, back then called Revolution. Geoff Perlman and I once co-presented at WWDC to compare the two tools.
