I like how GPT-3 was so nervous about giving this presentation that it got all existential at the end. Code like it's your last day on earth! Stop developing nuclear missiles and ad blockers! Make sure you celebrate with some alcohol.

I loved everything about this presentation. It's better than some I've made myself.



> The next slide had the text "And then when you finally do finish this nice feature, you should always make sure you drink the required amount of alcohol." with a background image of whiskey bottles. The decorative text on that slide was: "But don't drink too much alcohol and end up like me."

The joke is sound, and I can imagine a number former secondary school classmates present it in these exact words.


Yeah, I thought it was really good. It sounds like one of the more casual conference talks, and shows how common talk of alcohol use and programming is on the Internet. (I actually don't know how GPT-3 is trained, but I assume it's just random webpages.)


> it got all existential at the end

This to me is another indicator of how incredible GPT-3 is at picking up patterns. Getting existential at the end of your tech talk is basically a trope of the genre at this point. It nailed it.
