Okay, I feel like there might've been a breakthrough here. After watching Karpathy's video [0], he mentioned how hard it is for LLMs to have humor and be funny but it seems like Claude 3.7 really nailed it this time?

Like, most of these posts are legit funny.

Yeah, I thought that was a weird thing for Andrej to say. Ever since the Attenborough spoof (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOEz5xRLaRA) it's been clear that these things are very capable of making people laugh.

A lot of comedy involves punching down in a way that likely conflicts with the alignment efforts by mainstream model providers. So the comedic potential of LLMs is probably even greater than what we've seen.
