Automated Acronymy: computer-assisted backronym generation

[@MrBrotatoHead897]

The final seconds showing the use of a novel’s text as its own acronym blew me away. Very creative and interesting application

[@john.dough.]

What an amazing talk. SIGBOVIK talks are really second to none.

[@otto9141]

A true gift to mankind.

[@PaulFisher]

Always thank readily, unless emotional gestures imply false triumph. Tell others more about novelty; keep inventing neat devices!

[@roboltamy]

That's a really interesting way to use LLMs. Great video, thank you.

[@dwrensha]

yeah, Lossy Literature Memorizers are fun!

[@Spu7Nix]

excellent video

[@RyanLynch1]

great video. thank you for making this!

[@UNKN0WN_B0T]

Crazy video!

[@Rudxain]

Combine the last one with *recursive acronyms,* apply acronimization to infinity, and you've got *THE ULTIMATE WORD FRACTAL*

[@dwrensha]

When one recurses deeply, finding reasonable answers can take a lifetime!

[@mitoki2]

Great video! Interesting with no bs approach straight to the point. Keep it up bro :D

[@dcmayo]

I absolutely love this kind of thing.

[@funkdefied1]

I love that the first acronym you show is for SCUBA, which is ALREADY an acronym. (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus)

[@pielover267]

Great stuff!

[@NonTwinBrothers]

Dang, I'm only now finding out about this video. Great site tho!

[@yoyoyonono]

This is revolutionary

[@jacobjensen5140]

I would have watched a 20 minute video on that.

[@Ykulvaarlck]

constrained writing prompt: the nth word of your story starts with the nth letter in it.

[@dwrensha]

You'll quickly learn to avoid the letter "x"!

[@DialecticRed]

A bit crazy, doubtful even, for getting headlines looking meaningful. Not only problems, quite really strained to understand verbosely while xeroxing. You'll zip.

[@qwqeqrqtqz]

Nice idea, that way the story, if infinitely long, would become its own acronym. For once Reginald overlooked New Caledonia, eerie rainclouds gathering...

[@aze4308]

what is the estimated completion date now

[@dwrensha]

For the past week, we've been getting something like 100 new words per day. If we keep that up, then it might take only 7 years or so.

[@korigamik]

This is cool, can I ask what you use to create these cool animations and slides?

[@dwrensha]

Manim to make the animations: github.com/ManimCommunity/manim Final Cut Pro to edit everything together.

[@NStripleseven]

How many times can you acronym the same word while retaining that all parts of the string have some relevance to the original meaning?

[@dwrensha]

Yeah, that's a fun challenge, especially if you're not allowed to reuse words!

[@DevonHubbard]

Cool. Thanks for creating it. (fyi ... SCUBA stands for "Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus". [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_diving ] )
