Hi! My name is Eric Vacin and this page is dedicated to ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE — the technology of the FUTURE! Everyone at the computer club says A.I. is just a fad like the Tamagotchi, but I believe that someday every family in America will keep a giant language model in their den.

I am currently training a neural network right here on my Pentium II (233 MHz, 64 MB of RAM). Estimated time until training completes: March 2041. PLEASE do not pick up the phone.

Last month I downloaded 3 billion "parameters" off a BBS. It took eleven days and used every Zip disk I own, plus four of Dad's. Worth it.

★ NEW! ★ I learned about "prompt engineering." It's where you say PLEASE to the computer. It works?!

I built my very own large language model! Well, medium. Okay, it's a small language model. It was trained on three issues of PC Magazine, my AOL chat logs, and the back of a cereal box. Type a question and behold the FUTURE:

ASK!

You wouldn't visit someone's house without saying hello, would you? Same rules apply on the Web — whether you are a human OR a robot. (Robots: please disclose.)
