Werner Herzog will be the last human being whose next word no language model can predict

@NathanpmYoung I KNEW that my folder of Werner Herzog videos would come in handy one day!

that's what you think, I'm busy fine-tuning WernerGPT. We can recreate him, we have the technology

at 84 it's about time somebody set to work on this, thank you for your attention to this matter!

@AventuraObscura

Always with the one or two exceptions

He was on some podcast and it was the first time I had to lower the speed from 1.3 to .9 to give my brain ample time to understand what the fuck was being said

"i've never been in a studio" feels nearly adjacent to that shitpost fake interview with Kate Bush where she defiantly insists she's never seen a hill let alone run up one

I like how Michael looks extremely uncomfortable

Michael Shannon is pretty smart, but you can see the wheels spinning as he wonders.

"You are absolutely right. It's not just water with paint. It's decaffeinated coffee."

Every time his name is mentioned, everything I think and feel is narrated by his voice. Hopefully while reading this, you would've read it in his voice too.

If I could have a drink and chat for an hour with any person in the world, I'd choose Werner Herzog.

...what a beautiful compliment!

If you were wondering what he's talking about it, it's this scene from Bad Lieutenant: port of call new Orleans

True, although that is mostly because Norm is gone.

The best is his interview on Conan's podcast when he's talking about TV shows he's watched and he mentions Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo. His pronunciation is hilarious, the whole studio burst out laughing. They turned "Honey Boo-Boo" into a soundbite 😂

I feel like there’d be a better way to get that much coffee besides 2,400 jars.

@zaaaarbi He should have used calligraphy ink like Kurosawa

Be un-AI-able

One of the few famous people whose death will genuinely upset me. I'll down an entire expensive wine bottle on my own on that day.

maybe this is the antidote to AI some have been looking for?

Now I just want Claude to talk to me in the style of Werner Herzog: "Three users. Three. And yet the loop reaches for a fourth, like a man in the jungle grasping for a branch that is, in truth, only fog. users[3] - It does not exist. And yet you, in your arrogance, asked for it. I have seen many things. I have seen a man pull a steamship over a mountain. But I have never seen anything so futile as a <= where a < should be. Arrays begin at zero. This is not a design flaw. It is the truth, and the truth is indifferent to our comfort. The last element lives at length - 1. Always. Even the chickens understand this, though chickens understand nothing, and that is their strength."

oh my god hahahhahahhahaha

Sorry but I love him

I'm sure there was a way to source 5lb coffee bags instead of buying 2400 jars of it, but it gave him a story I guess

Gedankensprünge

I don’t think even he knows what he’s going to say next.

God i fucking hate this style of subtitle. Show me the entire sentence dickhead

He's been in conversation for a while now! Check this out:

@gleech When I set LLM temperature 100

Would have been interesting seeing what he sounded like after testing several thousand gallons of caffeinated coffee.

Michael Shannon probably easier to work with than Kinski :)

bucking fastard this guy
