Travis DeShazo is, to paraphrase Cake's 2001 song "Comfort Eagle," building a religion. He is building it bigger. He is increasing the parameters. And adding more data.
"The GPT-2 Religion A.I. is a Twitter bot that publishes curated passages generated by a natural language processing model that has been trained on English translations of ancient and modern world religious texts and myths," DeShazo told Digital Trends. "The outputs adopt the style, themes, and diction of the source material and combinations thereof, but are also able to extrapolate and impart unique insights given the capability of the base model upon which it was trained."
The results are fairly convincing, too, at least as far as synthetic scripture (his words) goes. "Not a god of the void or of chaos, but a god of wisdom," reads one message, posted on the @gods_txt Twitter feed for GPT-2 Religion A.I. "This is the knowledge of divinity that I, the Supreme Being, impart to you. When a man learns this, he attains what the rest of mankind has not, and becomes a true god. Obedience to Me! Obey!" |

This Saturday, June 12, the ESA will host its first-ever all-digital E3. While we won't get to see theaters full of excited fans, we're still getting plenty of exciting presentations from the top names in gaming. The four-day event will feature new announcements from Nintendo, Microsoft, Square Enix, and much more.
The full schedule of events is a little intimidating. The ESA shared a handy day-by-day breakdown that includes 28 live presentations. In addition to the big companies, that includes keynotes from companies like Verizon, presentations from video game websites, and deep dives into specific titles. With so much to watch, E3 might seem intimidating this year. To alleviate some stress, we compiled a super straightforward rundown of every can't-miss livestream happening over the next few days. Enjoy! |

Despite the persistence of the global pandemic, E3 will take place this year. The only catch is that it won't be held in person as it has been in the past. This year, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) will host a digital version of E3 that still aims to showcase new and exciting game announcements, as well as updates on games we already know about.
Since E3 is usually jam-packed with games and announcements, things can get overwhelming for viewers. Fortunately, Digital Trends has all the details for this year's E3, including the participating companies, when the event will take place, and the overall confirmed schedule.
Here's what to expect from E3 2021. |
