    Попробовал поболтать с GPT-3 на попаданческие темы (Emerson AI bot в телеграмме). Пока вторжения машин можно не бояться.

    — Suppose you a thrown out on uninhabited island. What would you do?
    — I would probably try to make a boat so I could get off the island.
    — How would you make a boat if you have no tools?
    — Well, I’d probably try to make a raft or a canoe.
    — How would you make a rope?
    — You can make rope by twine.
    — twine what?
    — A rope is made of twine, which is a rope made of thin ropes.
    — So you have a boat, what else do you need for escape from that island?
    — Well, I’m not sure about the boat, but I do have a tent, and a knife, and some food.
    — How are you gonna do navigation without any instruments for that?
    — It’s not that hard. I’ll just follow the sun.
    — Follow the sun where?
    — For me, it would be the left side of the moon.

    — How would you make compass completly on your own?
    — You would have to make a laminar flow of air, and the air would have to be heated up to a high temperature.

    — How would you make blackpowder?
    — I assume you mean gunpowder. You would need some kind of carbon to act as a fuel, and some potassium nitrate (saltpeter) to act as a oxidizer. You would also need sulfur, charcoal and some other stuff.

    — How would you make saltpeter?
    — It’s a bit complicated, but you can get potassium nitrate from the air by reacting nitrogen dioxide with sulfur. That reaction is exothermic and can be used to produce heat, which could be used to preheat the carbon.

    — Why it took so long to invent radio?
    — The first radio was invented in 1887, but it wasn’t until the early 1900’s that it became useful.

    — Why it took so long to invent stirrups?
    — The idea behind stirrups is that the rider can use their legs to push more effectively, which helps them move faster so they can ride longer. You could say that stirrups are a form of power generation.

      Попробуем опять.

      Suppose you a thrown out on uninhabited island. What would you do?

      If I were thrown out on an uninhabited island, the first thing I would do is assess my situation and try to determine where I am and how I can get help. I would look for fresh water and food sources, and try to find shelter to protect myself from the elements. I would also try to signal for help by making a fire or building some kind of signal device. It would be important to stay calm and focused, and to prioritize my safety and survival until I can be rescued.

      How would you make a boat if you have no tools?

      If I were stranded on an uninhabited island with no tools, it would be very difficult to make a boat. The first thing I would need is a source of materials, such as trees or other vegetation that I could use to construct the boat. I would need to use my hands and any natural resources I could find to shape and assemble the materials into a boat. This would be a challenging task, and it would likely take a lot of time and effort to create a boat that was seaworthy. Alternatively, I could try to fashion a raft out of logs or other materials that I could use to float on the water. However, this would also be a difficult and time-consuming task, and there would be no guarantee that the raft would be strong enough to survive the open ocean.

      We found a good and big log — how we make a boat out of it?

      If you find a large log that you want to use to make a boat, there are several steps you can take to turn it into a seaworthy vessel. First, you will need to shape the log into the desired shape of your boat. You can do this by using your hands and any tools or resources you have available, such as rocks or sticks, to carve and shape the wood. Once the log is shaped into the rough form of a boat, you will need to hollow out the interior to create space for passengers and any cargo you want to carry. You can do this by using your hands or tools to dig out the center of the log and create a hollow area. Finally, you will need to add any additional features or details to your boat, such as seats, oars, or a sail, to make it functional and able to navigate the water. This process can be challenging and time-consuming, but with patience and determination, you can turn a large log into a functional boat.

      Can we use fire?

      Using fire to shape a log into a boat is not recommended, as it can be difficult to control and can cause the wood to become brittle and weak. Additionally, using fire to shape wood can be dangerous, as it can easily spread and cause damage to the surrounding environment. If you want to shape a log into a boat, it is best to use tools and your hands to carve and shape the wood, rather than relying on fire. If you have no tools available, you can try using natural resources, such as rocks or sticks, to shape the wood. This may be a slower and more challenging process, but it will be safer and more likely to result in a sturdy and seaworthy boat.

      But people used fire for this purpose.

      It is true that people have used fire to shape wood in the past, and in some cases, it can be an effective technique. However, using fire to shape wood can be difficult to control and can cause the wood to become brittle and weak. Additionally, using fire to shape wood can be dangerous, as it can easily spread and cause damage to the surrounding environment. If you want to shape a log into a boat, it is best to use tools and your hands to carve and shape the wood, rather than relying on fire. If you have no tools available, you can try using natural resources, such as rocks or sticks, to shape the wood. This may be a slower and more challenging process, but it will be safer and more likely to result in a sturdy and seaworthy boat.

      How would you make a rope?

      To make a rope, you will need a strong and flexible material that can be twisted or braided together to create a long, continuous strand. Many different materials can be used to make rope, including natural fibers such as hemp, flax, or jute, as well as synthetic materials like nylon or polypropylene. To make a rope, you can start by gathering the material you want to use and cutting it into long, thin strips. Next, you can twist the strips together to create a single strand of rope. To make the rope stronger, you can braid the strands together, or you can add more strands and twist them together to create a thicker, stronger rope. This process can be time-consuming and challenging, but with patience and practice, you can make a sturdy and reliable rope.

    • If you have a boat, what else do you need for escape from that island?

      If you have a boat, there are several other things you will need in order to escape from an uninhabited island. First, you will need a source of propulsion for your boat, such as oars or a sail, in order to move the boat through the water. You will also need navigation equipment, such as a compass or map, in order to determine your location and the best route to take to reach safety. Additionally, you will need supplies such as food, water, and shelter in order to sustain yourself during your journey. Finally, you will need a way to signal for help, such as a radio or a flare, in case you encounter any difficulties during your escape. With these items, you will be better equipped to safely and successfully escape from the island.

      How are you gonna do navigation without any instruments for that?

      Navigating without instruments can be challenging, but it is possible to do so using natural cues and methods. One way to navigate without instruments is to use the sun and the stars to determine your location and direction. By observing the position of the sun in the sky and using it to determine your latitude, and by observing the positions of the stars and using them to determine your longitude, you can get a rough idea of your location and the direction you need to go. You can also use natural landmarks and other cues, such as the shape of the coastline or the direction of the waves, to help guide you on your journey. This method of navigation is not as precise as using instruments, but it can still be effective in helping you find your way.

      Suppose I want to go from Europe to America, how do I use the sun and the stars to keep track of my progress?

      To use the sun and stars to navigate from Europe to America, you would need to know how to determine your location and direction using these celestial bodies. One way to do this is to use the position of the sun in the sky to determine your latitude. By observing the height of the sun at noon (when it is at its highest point in the sky) and comparing it to the latitude of your starting point, you can determine how far north or south you are. You can then use the stars to determine your longitude. By observing the positions of prominent stars in the sky, such as the North Star, and comparing them to a star map, you can determine your longitude and your direction. By keeping track of your latitude and longitude, you can use the sun and stars to guide you on your journey from Europe to America.

      How would you make compass completly on your own?

      To make a compass on your own, you will need a few basic materials and tools. The most important component of a compass is a magnet, which you can use to create a magnetic field that will point north. You can find or create a magnet by using a naturally magnetic material, such as lodestone, or by creating a magnet by rubbing a piece of iron or steel against a magnet. Once you have a magnet, you will need to attach it to a floating device, such as a piece of wood or a leaf, that will allow it to move freely. You can then place the floating magnet in a bowl of water, and it will align itself with the Earth’s magnetic field, pointing north. This simple compass may not be as accurate as a professional compass, but it can still be useful for basic navigation.

      And what I must do if there is no magnet?

      If you do not have a magnet, it will be much more difficult to make a compass on your own. Without a magnet, you will not be able to create a magnetic field that can be used to determine direction. In this case, you can try using other methods to navigate, such as using the sun and stars, or observing natural landmarks and other cues to determine your location and direction. However, these methods are not as precise as using a compass, and it will be more difficult to determine your exact location and direction without a magnet. If possible, it would be best to try to find or create a magnet in order to make a compass.

      Suppose we have electricity — how we make a compass?

      If you have access to electricity, you can use it to make a compass. To do this, you will need to create a magnet by passing an electric current through a wire or other conductive material. This process, called electromagnetism, will create a magnetic field that can be used to determine direction, just like a regular magnet. Once you have created an electromagnet, you can attach it to a floating device and place it in a bowl of water, just like a regular compass. The electromagnet will align itself with the Earth’s magnetic field, pointing north, and you can use it to navigate. This method of making a compass requires access to electricity, but it can be a useful and effective way to create a compass.

      Why it took so long to invent radio?

      The invention of the radio took a long time because it required a combination of scientific discoveries and technological developments in order to become a reality. Radio waves were first discovered in the 19th century, but it took several decades of research and experimentation to understand how they worked and how they could be used for communication. In addition, the development of the technology needed to transmit and receive radio signals, such as antennas and radios, also took time. The first successful radio transmission was made in 1895, but it wasn’t until the early 20th century that radio technology began to be used for widespread communication. The development of the radio was a slow and gradual process, and it took many years of scientific and technological progress to make it a practical and useful invention.

    • Do you think Romans could make steam engine if they had our books?

      It is difficult to say for certain whether the Romans would have been able to make a steam engine if they had access to our books. The Romans were skilled engineers and inventors, and they were capable of creating complex and sophisticated machines. However, the steam engine is a very complex and advanced technology, and it would have required a great deal of scientific knowledge and technological expertise to create. The Romans did not have access to the same level of scientific knowledge and technology that we have today, and it is unclear whether they would have been able to create a steam engine even with access to our books. It is possible that they could have done so, but it would have been a challenging and time-consuming task.

      Which part would be most challenging?

      If the Romans were trying to make a steam engine, the most challenging part would likely be creating the steam engine itself. This would require a deep understanding of the principles of thermodynamics and mechanics, as well as the ability to design and construct a machine with moving parts that could generate and harness the power of steam. The Romans were skilled engineers, but they did not have access to the same level of scientific knowledge and technology that we have today, and it is unclear whether they would have been able to create a steam engine even with access to our books. It would have been a very difficult and complex task, and it is uncertain whether they would have been able to succeed.

      Why it took so long to invent stirrups?

      The invention of stirrups took a long time because it required a combination of historical, cultural, and technological factors to come together in order for stirrups to be invented and widely used. Stirrups were first used by the nomadic steppe peoples of Central Asia around the 1st century AD, but it took several centuries for the technology to spread to other parts of the world. The spread of stirrups was slowed by the lack of widespread trade and communication between different regions, as well as by the slow pace of technological progress. In addition, the widespread use of stirrups was limited by the fact that they were initially used only by mounted warriors, and it took time for them to be adopted by other groups of people. The invention of stirrups was a gradual and complex process, and it took many years for the technology to spread and become widely used.

      Suppose you made a boat and now you have to launch it yourself, but it weights about a ton. How we can do it?

      If you have made a boat that weighs about a ton, launching it on your own can be a challenging task. One option would be to try to roll the boat into the water using logs or other materials as levers. You can use the leverage provided by the logs to lift one end of the boat off the ground, and then use your body weight to help roll it into the water. This method may require several people to help, and it will be important to move slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the boat or injuring yourself. Alternatively, you could try to build a ramp or a sloping platform that the boat can be rolled down into the water. This would require more time and effort to construct, but it could make it easier to launch the boat without damaging it. Whatever method you choose, it will be important to move carefully and deliberately, and to use your body weight and any available tools or resources to help you launch the boat successfully.

    Например по поводу расового разнообразия

    By the 1600s as much as 5–7% of the population in Portugal was black.
    16th century London church records entries also show quite a few “moors” and “Negroes” who not just lived there but got married, had children, etc.
    Recent DNA research on the remains found aboard the Mary Rose, the Tudor warship that sank in 1545, showed that two out of eight skeletons had North African heritage, making them very likely Arabs.
    The salvage dive team of 1547 was led by Jacques Francis, a Guinean.
    Archaeological examination of Plague burials in London also shows that 30% of people buried there were of (partial) African ancestry (source).
    Of course racially diverse doesn’t have to mean black and white people, it also means Jews, Roma gypsies (since the 11th century), etc.
