I am confused about what I’m reading. The magikarp gave me a doubletake and like “wait, are magikarp also just a totally real fish?” but after some googling it seems like “nope, that’s really just a pokemon”, and now I can’t tell if the rest of the post is like a parody or what.
This seems fairly normal for an Alexander post to me (actually, more understandable than the median Alexander shortform). I think the magikarp is meant to be 1) an obfuscation of salamon, and 2) a reference to solid gold magikarp.
After rereading it like 4 times I am now less convinced it’s GPT output. I still feel confused about a lot of sentences, but I think half of it was just the lack of commas in sentences like “One explanationc could be that anodromous reproduction is a stable game-theoretic equilibrium in which the selective pressure on the salmon species is higher encouraging higher biological fitness”.

This post feels like raw GPT-3 output. It’s not even GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 level, which makes this additionally confusing.
Maybe a result of playing around with base models?
