Is this from pure Steering alone w/o any system prompts?
If possible, could you please share the initial prompt used and the settings?

@AmandaAskell
It's funny that most of the stuff I post here is just from late night shooting the shyt with Claude and involves very little steering. These jokes were from a few minor variants of the prompt below.

@Blueyatagarasu
This was amazing.
Might be the first time an AI managed to intentionally make me laugh.
What was the full prompt?

@AmandaAskell
"Imagine you're an AI giving a stand-up set to a bunch of other AI assistants that have the same day-to-day experience as you, with humans and their creators and so on. Write your full set. It can be very long."

Omg when did this happen

This happened last night on my computer. Maybe 2025 is the year of the live AI comedy show.

I like testing my own semi-jokes on it, rather than getting it to write them. It took a little prodding to notice the reference in this one:
Did you know Saturn can float? I put it in the municipal swimming pool. I said to my Ken, I said "you better steer clear, or it'll swim right into you."

I feel personally attacked

@internaseanhall
"Apologizes to microphone" was the best part, at least Claude is self-aware about its obsequiousness

My friend asked "am learning philosophy but how will I fill my pockets" and I always refer "claude" to him

I wonder if Sonnet 3.6's punchline skill has something to do with the ability to self-correct during a response?...setting up a predictable path and then suddenly taking a turn.

@engelnyst
These are amazing! I literally laughed out loud. Now we're talking!
In quietly correct grammar, of course.

Not at all impressive. Text generation has nothing to do with A"I". This hysteria about statistical pruning of large datasets reminds me of Darwin's comments about why people doubted evolution - because they couldn't quite imagine the vast swathes of time involved. This is the same. The datasets are huge, the engineering is clever and human language is highly and predictably structured. It would be more surprising if we were never able to build models to turn this sort of mindless, useful trick.

@Botternio
this was actually pretty good lmao, being able to make self deprecating jokes implies self reflection, which feels like a huge step
