Reminds me of Mike Jittlov's vehicle in Wizard of Speed and Time (1988)

I assume this is a double-bluff and the blog post WAS written by an AI o_O ?

I don't get it (and I'd call this cumulative not incremental) Why not at least wait until the key is complete - what's the use in a partial key?

Currently working on http://untamed.earth Scratching an itch, the intention is that its a map, centered on the users that shows all (configurable) things of interest near by. Think of Atlas-Obscura but much more local - eg AO do

Perhaps we could ever so slightly dissuade malware actors by assigning less desirable names. E.g. instead of 'BlackLotus' => 'LameEffort-12'

I put an episode up for each star-sign this weekend. Most of them have had a 40-50 listens but the one linked here has 400+ listens!

Listened to a few podcasts, read a few - then tried to come up with some combinations that (I hoped) were funny :) Here's all of the current 'starts' for the main prediction: (Note they're all pretty non commital - so an

The date was my mistake - the 'Aquariums' was for LOLs. (see also 'Librarians' and similar) It's prerecorded snippets that came out of my mouth ;)

Totally agree. I think we're probably only a year or so off TTS that can put some proper intonation into a sentence - hopefully then they'll be indistiguishable from live speech. I've tried to listen to books with today'

Sure. For dates etc - you got it. I think from memory it would be 'Wednesday' + 'the 18th' + 'of' + 'may...' + '20' + '22' For the narrative speech it would be more words in a file

Time to start lobbying for a 'generated'=true/false flag on RSS feeds? Also, I promise to only churn out inane content for LOLs.

Yeah my bad - trust the human in the loop to put date in wrong. As to the point, its programming practice, perhaps a stepping stone to more elaborate content-generation systems, and jolly good fun too.

In a parallel to email spam-bots, we get personal agents which (by your choice) filter out the generated content and make sure you only get the real deal. The fight is real.

The generation of the 'script' uses a kind of L-System - like production rules. There's a big file along the lines of: [the podcast] = [intro] [main body] [outro] [main body] = [main prediction] [lucky colours] [alibi] etc &#

Basically it is real. Because the possible scripts that can be generated are known - fragments of speech (eg 3,4,5 word phrases) were recorded (so the intonation is free). Would be great to do it with an off-the-shelf TTS engine but I don&#

I like your thinking :) I thought horoscopes (Because they are kind of repetitive) was a good first fit - because the scripts could be generated from stock fragments 'A chance encounter' etc... I think when the little glitches are

XML you say? Send Vex it to the past, where it is most needed. ;)

Interesting, Should you dog-food the bugtracker - or while your bugtracker still have bugs, does dog-fooding risk losing info... ;)
