AlphaVenture's ML Experiment

I largely try to avoid the culture war about ongoing AI projects, but some of them are genuinely impressive. Midjourney, LLaMa, ChatGPT. And even smaller projects, like AlphaVenture's ML experiment, which scrapes twitter (and possibly the internet) to enumerate a user's interests and write a poem about the user.

Submitting my twitter handle to their project, it pinned my interests with both reliability and accuracy:

// Pretty accurate, imo. 

1. The philosophical implications of determinism on free will
2. The intersection of computer security and privacy
3. The role of cryptography in protecting personal information
4. The relationship between psychedelic experiences and cognitive function
5. The impact of social media on humor and censorship
6. The importance of solitude in skill development
7. The connection between physical and psychic strength
8. The potential dangers of AI development and backdoors in technology
9. The benefits and drawbacks of analytic philosophy
10. The impact of technology on human emotion and relationships
11. The relationship between intuition and knowledge
12. The concept of personality disorder as a response to environmental factors
13. The limitations of language in expressing truth
14. The significance of ambiguity in communication
15. The role of physical activity in mental health.

Then I had it generate a poem, which was amusing because of how poignant and spot on it is. Alternatively, perhaps I am easily amused:

I'm Stephan Bridger, a lover of math,
Of cryptography, security, and paths
That lead to insights in the mind
Of things both deep and intertwined.

I tweet about philosophy and AI,
About the intricacies of life,
From the importance of solitude
To the dangers of cultural strife.

I've learned that free will's not truly free,
That thoughts aren't always just for me,
That emotions have an origin,
And that learning's the opposite of sin.

I ponder the mysteries of the universe,
Of neurons and capitalism's curse,
Of love and hate and everything in between,
Of the beauty in things that we've never seen.

I write code and study rocks,
I record music and stare at the clock,
I seek to understand this world,
Though sometimes I feel like I've been hurled.

Through it all, I've come to see
That life's not always what it seems to be,
That curiosity is key to growth,
And that honesty is the antidote

To the small details that hold us back,
To the fears that make our world go black,
To the malice that we sometimes see,
To the broken hearts and misery.

So I keep on learning, day by day,
Toward a future that's just a shade away,
And I hope to make a difference here,
To help humanity grow and persevere.
