Re:Placing #1 in Advent of Code with GPT-3

I noticed that the specific starting prompt that GPT VM[0] author designed seems to be something like a local minimum in achieving stability of a pretend Linux.
I replaced “Linux” in the prompt with “an Ubuntu instance in us-East-1 SSH’d into a Debian instance in us-East-2 ssh’d into a raspberry pi in germany……..” and at 4-5 levels deep it would forget the previous link when closing the “ssh connection” and go back to the first instance.
I also thought the sentence towards the end of the prompt about “when I want to tell you something in English I’ll do it like {this}” was redundant, but removing it leads to some weirdness like “cat file.txt” printing out the man page for cat 75% of the time.
It didn't split on the comma. It assumed all numbers would be 1 digit. When I tried to get it to fix those, it ran into other problems, and I decided to abandon the pursuit.
