@ZachWeinersmith remember though that no matter what set of if-then statements you give it the network is always doing the same thing - predicting the next word/token.
I wouldn't say that it used that protocol, which made it work. I would say that the most likely tokens to follow those instructions are ones that happened to work. This may also be a bit of bias if you stopped trying to get it to work as soon as it worked.

@cooperationiskey I don't know much about the medicine of COVID but I recall reading something about an immune over-reaction being the cause of either deaths or misery. A storm of some kind.

@ner if it's one of these bad boys I have some good news for you about shipping!
