       Terrible idea: an author writes a book, but instead of releasing it, they train an LLM on it, and release the model.So readers can ask the LLM to generate text based on it, but can never know the original text.

       @foone This is a pretty solid idea. Very Portal (1986)-esque.

       @foone I seem to remember a performance-art bit in the floppy disk era which was a single-user experience (a hypertext book, IIRC) that deleted itself after viewing, and was never put online. This reminded me of it but I cannot remember what it was called. Fitting, perhaps.

       @foone You can also imagine this inadvertently becoming the only record of some work, in some distant future.Alien archaeologists: "Our records show that in the late days of human civilization, before the Antimatter Wars of the 2050s, the works of a bard named "Tolkien" were popular. But after the war Great Copyright Enforcement Purge of the libraries, and the war, all we have are excerpts, ritualistic graphics called 'memes' and one language model that produces in-universe erotic literature."

       @foone Kind of what they did with RACTER (the program which supposedly wrote ”the Policeman’s beard is half constructed”, although I guess the ”novel” is assumed to have involved some heavy human editing)https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racter

       @foone plot twist: the publisher does so without telling the author and turns down the book deal.

       @foone this sounds like a good way to accidentally found several warring cult sects.

       @foone Honestly, with my novel's notes now at some 4.5 million chars (a Google doc's limit is 1.5 million) this is kinda tempting.

       @foone I like that scenario and I agree on the premise and development. How can someone know the original text actual LLM models are based on?

       @foone this seems spiritually similar to releasing a story as a video game. lemme think…fine tune a model to act kinda like a dungeons and dragons dragon master. apply control vectors so it’s nearly impossible to have it act out of character. integrate it into a game, such that the LLM can issue commands and participate. prompt it with a storyline and let it go. have game mechanics (e.g. dice rolls + cards) determine the actual flow

       @foone @vaurora I seem to recall an Asimov short story on that theme; but with autocomplete - because of when Asimov was writing it.

       @foone The peng!-collective has done just that on last year's Frankfurt book fair. Though, not as "the real thing", but as a prank. And apparently they scored a lot of companies who were really interested in the promised technology. Sorry the link is in german (didn't find any english links for "amazing books")https://pen.gg/de/campaign/amazingbooks/
