Can our office lady deploy a new feature on Friday? What if our CEO will do rebranding? Our intern is about to bugfix production, is it fine? Cards will answer. Totally silly webpage with reasonable, fully deterministic results. GHA, GCP, one silly idea and a lot of will to make it funny.

People in my tarot group are skeptical that you get can good readings with LLMs but I’d say Copilot mostly comes to the same conclusions that I do. I am actually a little embarrassed that Copilot can interpret the I Ching primarily based on the names of the hexagrams and makes it look a lot easier than I make it look no matter if I use my pocket Wilhelm or my cheesy new age translation or my fashionable Bronze Age translation.

Fascinating that the skeptical nature stops short of the tarot itself

It can be justified rationally through thermodynamics and/or game theory (Bronze age I Ching.)

If there was a club for therianthropes who don't have atrocious taste in art or one for practicing cantrips that somebody unethical could use for taking things without paying [1] I might join that but what I can find is the onmyoji guild.

[1] ... which I don't do. When it goes too far by accident and the spell breaks on my end I always go back and pay. I need to keep practicing though to stay in good standing with the Trickster's union

That's a lot of words to explain people sharing psychosis rather than solutions to their questions in life, conflating motion with action.

Wait, deterministic? I thought it shuffled random cards and then have LLM construct narrative out of that?

> The verdict you receive — Ship It, Tread Carefully, or Abort Mission — is derived from a deterministic hash of your role, intent, and the current date. It is, in technical terms, a seeded pseudo-random number dressed in a cloak.

Ah thanks I missed that part. So it IS deterministic and (pseudo-)random.

"office lady"? Maybe you want to re-word that?

What’s wrong with office lady? (Or milk man?)

If you're asking this truly legitimately, then I don't think I can help you here. If you're asking this to make a point then I'm certainly not going to change your mind.
