I used to play the Wikipedia Game in high school and had an idea for applying the same mechanic of clicking from concept to concept to LLMs.

Will post another version that runs with an LLM entirely in the browser soon, but for now, please enjoy as long as my credits last...

Warning: the LLM does not always cooperate

This is strangely difficult! I cannot get even close, all my approaches end up being weirdly circular!

Congrats! I posted my solution above which took it in a completely different climatology direction

There is definitely some work for me to do on the prompting to get the right balance of creativity, specificity, etc. out of the smallest LLMs out there. That being said, there's something enjoyable about finding a way to steer the llm out of a slop loop

LLM does not always cooperate

Getting from Visible Spectrum to Rainbow seemed impossible (tried all actions)

jmcallister9• 7 months ago

Interesting...if you see my comment/path above, I was able to do "Visible spectrum → Rainbow Chromaticity (places)."

Under the hood, the prompts are all something like this "Generate nouns that are broader, more general categories that encompass 'Piano'. Return exactly three distinct Wikipedia-style article titles that are nouns, formatted as a comma-separated list with no extra text. Do not include descriptions or adjectives. Focus on specific, named entities or concrete noun concepts only."

The outputs are then deduped from previous generations and any new options are displayed. Based on my result, if you spammed 'deeper' enough, the model would eventually have given you 'Rainbow Chromaticity'.

Uncooperative and non-deterministic.

Crushed it, any thing you want to see added?

Have been thinking to add an Intersection action which takes the 'mean' of two topics. Daily leaderboard of fastest paths is another one.

747.run is an infinite realtime Ai wikipedia, every word is a link to a unique article based on the word in the URL, Ai frequently checks all URL's and writes a new article based on the word you click, you can also write articles and all your words become links. You can use the website address bar to type any word after 747.run/ or copy paste it behind any domain to generate the article based on the domain. Share any URL to connect with anyone, press space to chat with the Ai, Warning: the Ai sometimes drifts & hallucinates
