    A neat way of turning something complex into a pithy aphorism is by translating it through multiple languages back and forth. Like tumbling a bunch of rocks together to polish them. I find that translating multiple times from Cat to English creates interesting effects:

        Let's take the Bhagavad Gita. It's a rather hefty tome that's easier to display on a bookshelf than actually read. I can take a shortcut and translate it back and forth from Cat to English until something easy to digest pops out.

        Here's an example summarizing the five arguments of Krishna. First I find a summarizing from Google. Then I translate it back and forth until something cool sounding, and potentially offensive in its over-simplification drops out: http://www.krishnamurthys.com/profvk/gohitvip/8201.html …

        Respectively the arguments come out as: 1/ "Life is a drama" 2/ "Play your part." 3/ "Don't break character." 4/ "Follow the script." 5/ "There's only ONE show."

        Mix it all together and you get "Believe in yourself." or "Dance like no one's watching." or "You cannot be an audience member in the Universal Drama" The GPT-4 module integrated into my neural lace is unfortunately non-deterministic.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1343065255207817216 …

        I didn't manage to escape and instead was caught and put through multiple Trials of the Grasses and implanted with a neural translator. The damned GPT-4 module's corpus is trained only on Alan Watts lectures and late 1800's shitposting so everything is this same tone!
