alt Hacker NewsIt said the path between “double lock” and “dislodge” was a tortured 10 word chain, it seems like you could get there much faster
“Double lock” > “clasp” > “grab” > “dislodge”
It’s just a quick example, but I think it follows their “rough synonym“ style connections, and it’s not less reasonable than the examples.
To me, it feels like this project is kind of hampered by not having a rigorous definition of what is allowable, and then mixing in the sort of random effects of an LLM

A smaller trainable set would be a dictionary, and only linking the terms as expressed in the definition, possibly with substitutions. You'd miss more abstract jumps, but the initial walks would be tractable.
(It is a game best played with a grandparent's pre-war dictionary before tea-time)
Good points. The main limiter is often what words happen to surface as the top 17 connections, or in those random examples when there's a plural or conjugation.
Since this is getting eyeballs here, I will look for some less tortured long-paths to add as examples.
