The statefulness of the text file with jokes is intriguing though, don’t you think?

It is, but maybe it is simply imitating tutorials where "cat file.txt" writes the same content that was on the same page in a command "echo text > file.txt" above.

In other words, language models are really good at impersonating whatever you want them to be through clever tricks, without being it.

I don’t know how that’s implemented, but I‘d expect mistakes to creep in if multiple text lines are just „dreamt up“. The Textfile contents are perfectly accurate though.

The statefulness is pretty extensive and using the python entry point you can explore that a bit.
