the clojure loop construct is often cleaner than code written to be tail recursive
thmorriss··on Building GPT-based AI agents today, and their implications for tomorrow
I the analogy that GPT is improvising/speaking, like you would in a normal conversation. When I talk out loud (quickly), I only have ~1 word of lookahead just like GPT. But if I want good answers to hard questions, I need to slow down and actually write[1] something down. So the wrapper script that iterates/recursive on responses that OP describes is analogous to the slowing down process of writing.

I'm also curious what sort of results the iterative process can lead to. The movie script example in OP is impressive, but does it reach a stable state? Does it work for other types of prompts (coding related/other) that i've seen on twitter? All very interesting.

thmorriss··on Ask HN: Best 2-player co-op gaming fun for mental health
Monaco. Top down heist simulator that’s very silly with amazing music.

Minecraft with buddies online is amazing.

Towerfall ascension campaign. Made by developers of Celeste (so it has A++ feeling controls). Single screen single hit kill defend against waves of enemies in several worlds. Good difficulty progression. And 4 player VS is a blast.

Not coop but vs: Duck game. Works best with 4 ppl, high skill based, super silly single screen instant hill tournament. Playing this with buddies is consistently the most fun I have had in 10 years of playing games.

Gang beasts. Very very silly, not skill based last man standing brawler on interactive maps.

Party games like jackbox can be super fun, including gartic phone, skribbl.io, cards against humanity.
