Rob, is it true you created an early language model trained on scraped data? "Mark V Shaney"? Is it also true that it pretended to be a human, sending unsolicited messages on Usenet forums for lonely singles? That's just what I'm seeing here on Wikipedia...

one increases the amount of whimsy in the world the other is destroying it. these are not comparable except in isolation. if you had a million mark shaney's spamming everything everywhere all the time then yes that would be annoying. it would no longer a funny prank anymore. it'd be time to stop.

for the record I think this is an extremely cool and funny thing to do. I'm happy to be part of a long history of mad scientists who unleash their creations upon the world to wreak havoc. Berduck is funny. Mark Shaney is funny. Claude is funny. The Go programming language might be a step too far..
