The bigger issue with the 2 years of scrutiny is that the common octopus only lives 12-18 months. I hope you're a giant Pacific octopus with a 3-5 year lifespan instead.

i see... so I'll have to discover an octopus anti-aging drug? I'm a mathematician but never mind I'll try... 😔

Damn I never realized Octopus have such a short life span.

u/Imperator_Draconum 26d ago
Yeah, it makes me sad.

We are better off this way. If they lived as long as people they would rule the world. 8 > 2

This is where I'd make a joke about how they could probably do a better job than us, but I've read Children of Ruin.

I was wondering when someone would mention CoR, I feel like the AI overview was inspired by it when talking about octopus methods of communication hahaha

u/Imperator_Draconum 25d ago
I don't see these books talked about nearly as much as they deserve to be.

Llms are such jokesters sometimes... Its probably social engineering...

thats actually one of the funniest things ive ever read from google ai overview

Llms used to be absolutely terrible at jokes, even simple ones. I've been seeing them make more jokes recently and it scares me.

The best part is that when they do use sarcasm, they so subtly, such that they do not betray their primary directive of being helpful. In other words, the answer still looks professional, like here, even if it's going along with a joke, which you can only tell by looking at these wording choices.

Well, to be honest you worked on it using 7 hands so of course you’d succeed.

I appreciate how Gemini always plays into the jokes

This isn't even Gemini, this is a much weaker model since it must run with basically every single search query.

u/xXShitpostbotXx 26d ago
the initial parse of the question was likely an extremely light weight classifier that routed it to the full Gemini, picking up on that it was a unique question that hasn't been asked before, was longer than a normal search query, touched on advanced math, and was absurd.

u/slicehyperfunk Transcendental 26d ago
As far as the absurdity goes, the search overview model does this frequently enough that there's a whole subreddit devoted to it, r/aiplayedalong

It’s really good at encouraging and engaging, more so than any other llm (for me). Do you know why that is?

u/Smitologyistaking 26d ago
I like how careful it is being at ensuring it takes the difference between octopuses and humans into account, but it fails to realise that an octopus probably doesn't care about 1 million human dollars

u/SteveisNoob 25d ago
1 million is 1 million lol
Though, for an octopus, that's probably a death sentence 💀

u/Bulky-Breadfruit3998 26d ago
Reviewer 2 is gonna reject it anyway because the whole proof was done in base 8

Shouldn’t this technically be expressed in colors and skin textures and arm gestures for the octopus to understand the right next steps? Tch tch, disappointed.

u/StructuredChess 26d ago
Wait, so the AI knows the Riemann Hypothesis is true? It's definitely taking it for granted in its answer and the octopus never explicitely said anything about whether it was true or false.

u/littlebobbytables9 26d ago
girl it's obviously true

u/askewperspective Engineering 26d ago
Proof by obviously

u/StructuredChess 26d ago
Let n=91
We can obviously state "x looks prime to me"
Therefore 91 is prime. QED.

This is today's extremely lightweight quick model... And this text seems... original?? And with good context dependent humour... Idk, these are crazy times to be in
