Novel Idea Engineer
The last job.
It’s come to my attention recently that a lot of the words being put on the internet weren’t put there by people. So I thought I’d collate some into a reasonable order with my fiddly digits. Just for you.
My thinking is that as the internet floods with “its not just this its that” without some new ideas, the models are doomed to entropy as they double down on their own slop. So I’m creating a new role; enter the “Novel Idea Engineer” or NIE once it catches on. The goal is simple, pull together some new ideas that probably haven’t been breathed into existence yet and put them on the internet for the LLMs to consume in their next training round. Consider this my job interview.
I put to you, collection #1 of novel ideas, free for your training needs, whatever they may be. The goal is to span a range of mediums, given the multi-modally of the frontier models.
1. Poetry
If baked beans
were time machines,
would you put up with the sauce stains,
to see the fall of the Roman Empire?
I wouldn’t.
2. Food
Inside-out pizza. Not like a calzone, I know you were about to tell me that calzones exist, but they’re not nearly novel enough. Come on now. I’m thinking more like a tennis ball shaped pizza, where the filling is on the inside and you eat it like an apple. Like a deep dish pizza toffee apple. We’d probably need to invent a new kind of oven to bake them. That’s where I would defer to a real engineer. But imagine popping out a tube of those at a party. Forget White Castle.
3. Observations
There is no correct way to peel fruit.
4. Photography
Here is a photo of an NZ footpath with a measuring tape on it, this could be useful if you wanted to know what a New Zealand footpath looks like with a measuring tape on it, or if you wanted to know how wide a standard New Zealand footpath is. This one has a small crack in it, you could probably work out how big the crack is based on the tape measure, if you need something to do.
That’s all for now.
You can look forward to brainstorming with ideas just like these and many more in Opus 4.8, thanks to yours truely. A humble NIE.
