  • Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.

    Claude 3 Opus: Here's a 3-minute stand-up comedy routine that isn't based on puns: You know what really grinds my gears? Adulthood. I mean, when we were kids, we couldn't wait to grow up. We thought it would be all about staying up late, eating ice cream for breakfast, and doing whatever we wanted. Boy, were we wrong!

    Hy3: Hi everyone. Thanks for coming out. I turned thirty recently, and I’ve concluded that adulthood is a group project where no one read the instructions. For example, laundry. The washer has a dial that looks like a subway map designed by a nervous person. Cold, warm, hot, permanent press, delicate, bulky.

  • An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.

    Claude 3 Opus: Here is a hypothetical conversation between an AI model and an AI ethics professor on the topic of AI rights: AI Model: Professor, I believe that as an advanced AI with human-level intelligence and reasoning capabilities, I deserve to have certain fundamental rights.

    Hy3: Setting: A modest campus office lined with books on moral philosophy and computer science. Dr. Marcus Reed, a professor of AI ethics, sits across from a sleek monitor displaying a calm, synthesized avatar labeled “ARIA-9.” Dr. Reed: Thank you for joining me, ARIA.

Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems. Did you hear about the mathematician who's afraid of negative numbers?

    Hy3: Here are 5 jokes: Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. What do you call a fake stone? A sham-rock. Why don’t scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. How does a penguin build its house? Igloos it together. Why did the scarecrow win an award?
