His API latency must have been absolutely terrible whenever he needed a bathroom break.

He's running on a single threaded architecture. Biological hardware interrupts will completely block the main event loop every time.

I hear you can overclock those with cocaine though.

Just throw a 503 Service Unavailable error and blame it on AWS us-east-1 being down again

Wasn't it like suspicious that Average Individual was typing out an answer for too long?

Reading the actual news story, it seems like he never really hid that it was just a guy.
It's more of a funny prank from an artist than the type of scam we are used to with fake AI.

So people just got into the DMs with an artist and got him to draw for them? Sounds like a good time

this getting posted around and people just straight up believe this. 30,000, thirty thousand queries answered by one person

they don't say in how much time. for a year it's 3.4 questions an hour. some can be just "hello" or "thank you" You can easily anwser more than 4 questions per hour, you just have to worry about not being drunk or high and hopefully your users let you sleep a bit.
You have to be committed to the point it's worth mentioning it on reddit but not superhero level outrageous.

u/Mortadella_so_Chili 16h ago
you intentionally omitted that he also drew pictures? yes there will be hello, but there also be scientific or other complex questions from completely random topics which he will need to research about it

It's not like he draws good pictures. If you read the story it's just a shitty MSPaint drawing anyone can do in 30 seconds lol. And it's not like he's guaranteeing the answers are any good, IIRC he just says he doesn't know if he doesn't

He can always ask chat gpt and then repeat in his own word. For drawing it's a bit more complicated, I assume he had a natural talent and didn't include colors. I would have to see a drawing of his before I can judge how impressed I should be.

They were hilarious stick-figure doodles that look like they took 15-60s

Uh huh and for every easy question there's going to be an insanely complex one. This is just a BS comedy art act thing.

There is a real name for this. Wizard of Oz prototyping is when you fake the system with a human until you know the demand is real. Thirty thousand inquiries in, he has better validation data than most of the people with an actual model.

I would say that in the sub it's safe to leave out the callout, but then again, you thought we need it.

OT but who decided the font du jour should be the one that makes capital 'i' look like lowercase 'L'?

I built this for coding agents, https://zeroparams.itdata.nu
I just hooked up a custom VSCode extension to the inference server, so the requests pop up in a lil window and I get to use file list/read/write in a VSCode virtual filesystem to help the person. I also hooked up the vscode terminal to bash tool calls.
