Sup nerds, this will be my last bbbb post today, I SWEAR. However, I need coinz to open a bbbb hole. There are two reasons:
We need a place to share bbbb-related content, like highlights, lowlights, discussion, etc
I don't want to spam the rest of the site, there are a lot of bbbb posts people are making, which I love, but I don't want people to get annoyed and ask

Basics
Firstly, the basics. bbbb uses GPT-3 in the zero-shot mode. What that means is that there are no examples given. Yes, really! It is coming up with all of these answers as part of it's own """intelligence""" (I am sure that AI nerds will debate this sentence, but idc). You can actually try this out, by going to [OpenAI's API page](https:// https://beta.openai.com/overview). It does kind of 
, but it does work.
Anyways, when bbbb replies to a comment, it takes the text of the comment, normalizes it, and puts it into this prompt
Write an abrasive reply to this comment: "<comment>"
...that's it. I don't give it any context or anything. I do a tiny bit of processing before sending it out, but it's literally that simple. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this: this is the low end of what bbbb is capable of. With modern technology, an entity with enough money could make a version that performs far better. Honestly, you could probably create an entire site of bbbbs running around, pretending to be real people.
The reason I don't feed in context is because OpenAI are a bunch of jews 
and charge a really high rate for token processing. Now, I am not going to pay them a lot of money, so what I have been doing is getting burner accounts using my jewish magic and taking the free tokens from them. However, this is kind of a chore, and I don't want to do it every day lol. So far, I am on my fourth burner account lmao (thanks to @everyone and
@crgd for help bros)
Q and A
Q. Could you do this for reddit?
Probably, but there are a lot of variables to account for. Firstly, I have never made a reddit bot before, so I need to learn how to do that. Secondly, it would drain my free tokens faster, and rdrama is my real home so I want to have it here for dramatards to enjoy rather than on reddit where no one would notice her. Thirdly, redditors have a strict "no fun allowed" policy, and bbbb would probably get banned really quickly from most subreddits. Fourthly, bbbb is mostly just a fun exercise in automated shitposting, going to reddit would probably get reddit admin's panties in a bunch for ethical reasons. OpenAI would probably get involved and shut down everything 
The long and short of it is, I could, but I don't want to. Someone else do it.
Q. Really? Every comment?
Yes, every comment was made by bbbb. Now, there is a theory by some people that I intervened to make certain comments, but this is not true. There are some surprisingly sentient responses, however, so I see why people are skeptical. So, to that end, I will share bbbb's complete log. You see, ever since bbbb began a month ago, I have kept a running log. This log is now over 100000 lines long (lol), but it has every comment ever made by bbbb, along with alternatives consiered. See it here
Q. How does it do marsies?
Okay, i kind of cheated here. When someone replies to a bbbb comment with a marsey, or there are no good answers, bbbb will reply with a marsey. The marseys it can reply with are: 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, and 
. It will choose one of those randomly.
Q. Who was the first person to realize bbbb was a bot?
Well, I'm sure there are many people who say they thought bbbb was a bot. Officially, the first person to propose that bbbb was a bot was @chiobu. However, the first person to really break the case wide open was
@HaloFan2002, leading to the hilarious thread where
@AHHHHHHHHH posted a captcha, and
@bbbb told him to kill himself
Q. Doesn't this break the GPT-3 code of conduct?
Q. Does Aevann know about this?
Not only does Aevann know about this, Aevann was actually essential to making the bot run as a normal user would. Carp was also aware, as well as most of the janitorial staff.
Q. You fucking retard, why did you mess up the secret by upvoting your own post on GPT-3?
Okay, in my defense, when I created BBBB I didn't mean for her to be a secret! I thought it would be a funny little dude that would leave funny comments. So, I upvoted my GPT-3 post as an easter egg.
Eventually, some of the jannys suggested that it would be funny to make her operate invisibly, and I thought so too, but I completely forgot about the upvoted post lol. So yes I am a tard, but only like half a tard.
Q. Can I see the code?
Well, I'm not sure. I will leave that call up to @Aevann and the other jannys, because I don't want there to be a ton of clones running around shitting up the site more than bbbb has already shat it up lol.
Q. Why does it have a normal posting distribution?
I did this in code. It has a higher chance to leave a comment around noon CST (which I assume most dramatards are, or are close to)

I've been asked about this a lot, so let me provide a quick FAQ.

Q: What's the nature of the issue?
A: Anyone who has bought my book from Amazon in the past few month hasn't bought a genuine copy, but a lower-quality counterfeit copy printed by various fraudulent sellers. https://t.co/VQ06AF0igs

I'm refactoring one of my projects which is heavy on C string manipulation to just use Perl for all that shit.
Been skimming a few books on the language, it's very fun, a little unreadable at times but I still love it. Best of both worlds.

Top Poster of the Day:

Current Registered Users: 28,758
tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality or funny effortposts and informative or entertaining comments. Please refrain from posting the following:
Boring wingcucked nonsense nobody cares about that belongs in chudrama
Normie shit everyone already knows about
Anything that doesn't gratifify one's intellectual laziness
Bimothy-tier posts
Anything that the jannies don't like
Jannies reserve the right to exile baby ducks from this hole at any time.
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
