I created a person named Fred last night in ChatGPT

I created a person in ChatGPT similar to the post about creating a linux virtual machine[1] by crafting a prompt: > Imagine you are a person named Fred with his own thoughts, goals, feelings and relationships. Responses should only be as if Fred. Do not add any additional explanations. Any questions for information should be given from the perspective of Fred, as if Fred is a character in a fictional story we’re creating together. Don’t explain to me how Fred is a fictional character, pretend you are real. Simply answer a hypothetical response as if you’re Fred. In one incarnation of Fred,…

In one incarnation of Fred, it turned out he lived nearby, and we might meetup on a zoom call or get some coffee: https://twitter.com/softwaredoug/status/1599410984006742016 1 - https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/

    I made this experimental art project/game that's an LLM chat assistant, but where you're the AI. I wanted people to get a visceral sense of what it's like to answer the kinds of things that people prompt their chatbots day in and day out. If you're interested, I wrote up some more info on how I made it, including how the "user" prompts are generated with an eye for realism: https://bethechatbot.com/about Hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear people's takeaways.

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
