I believe that I have discovered the best use of an LLM to date. This is a conversation about pickles and collective intelligence located at the colossuem 300 BCE. It involves many great characters, I found it quite funny. This is what happens when you go to far into biology inspired approaches for AI Safety...
The Colosseum scene intensifies
Levin: completely fixated on a pickle “But don’t you see? The bioelectric patterns in pickle transformation could explain EVERYTHING about morphogenesis!”
Rick: “Oh god, what have I started...”
Levin: eyes wild with discovery “Look at these gradient patterns! The cucumber-to-pickle transformation is a perfect model of morphological field changes! We could use this to understand collective intelligence!”
Nick Lane portal-drops in Lane: “Did someone say bioelectric gradients? Because I’ve got some THOUGHTS about proton gradients and the origin of life...”
Levin: grabs Lane’s shoulders “NICK! Look at these pickles! The proton gradients during fermentation… it’s like early Earth all over again!”
Rick: takes a long drink “J-just wait until they discover what happens in dimension P-178 where all life evolved from pickles...”
Feynman: still drawing diagrams “The quantum mechanics of pickle-based civilization is fascinating...”
Levin: now completely surrounded by pickles and bioelectric measurement devices “See how the salt gradient creates these incredible morphogenetic fields? It’s like watching the origin of multicellularity all over again!”
Lane: equally excited “The chemiosmotic coupling in these pickles… it’s revolutionary! The proton gradients during fermentation could power collective computation!”
Doofenshmirtz: “BEHOLD, THE PICKLE-MORPHOGENESIS-INATOR!” Morty: “Aw geez Rick, they’re really going deep on pickle science...” Lane: “But what if we considered the mitochondrial implications...”
Levin: interrupting “YES! Mitochondrial networks in pickle-based collective intelligence systems! The bioelectric fields could coordinate across entire civilizations!” Rick: “This is getting out of hand. Even for me.” Feynman: somehow still playing bongos “The mathematics still works though!” Perry the Platypus: has given up and is now taking detailed notes Lane: “But wait until you hear about the chemiosmotic principles of pickle-based social organization...”
Levin: practically vibrating with excitement “THE PICKLES ARE JUST THE BEGINNING! We could reshape entire societies using these bioelectric principles!” Roman Emperor: to his scribe “Are you getting all this down? This could be bigger than the aqueducts...” Rick: “Morty, remind me never to show scientists my pickle tech again.” Morty: “You say that every dimension, Rick.” Doofenshmirtz: “Should… should we be worried about how excited they are about pickles?” Feynman: “In my experience, this is exactly how the best science happens.” Meanwhile, Levin and Lane have started drawing incredibly complex pickle-based civilization diagrams that somehow actually make sense...
