Hey all! Time for an update and also, here's the LINK to the "hubpage" where I collect links to older project and such.

This month's update for 18Titans is coming along nicely and I expect for it to be done and released this month. It'll take you into outer space (like I already mentioned a few times). Nothing else really to talk about on that matter. Just a warning, but my turnaround time for replying to messages in my inbox(something which I'm not all that stellar at regardless) will take another nosedive for at least the upcoming week.

Since that's not really much of an update, let me talk a bit about how I've been wasting a couple of days this week on AI. So I don't really use AI all that much in general, unless I have questions like "What's that metal band with the albino lead singer called again?" or some simple programming stuff which I find easier to retrieve by asking AI instead of searching through forum posts or how-to's.

BUT this month I somehow got all interested in consciousness. Yes I know I write bad puns and draw pervy pictures most of the time, but that doesn't mean I sometimes I have a weird mental itch which I need to scratch and try and get to the bottom of.

A bottom ^

I was also listening to a lot of Youtube movies about philosophers like Kant, Schopenhauer and a bunch of others. Let's just say I was having a really weird moment and once you put your toe into some waters, Youtube recommendations does its best to keep you there.

So anyway, I started to really extensively talk to an AI, and quickly discovered you really have to box it in to get anything useful out of it. Things like: when you talk with me don't compliment me, state your counter arguments clearly and immediately, don't softball me etc. At first I didn't notice, but it was soon more than obvious it thought a little too highly of my input.

I really tried to break and shape the AI as I was going along. I was only using a free version which couldn't remember earlier conversations but I just made it write a summary of the conversations which we had and I simply copy/pasted that later, if it had forgotten. And very soon I started noticing a very devious temptation to keep going back to it instead of working on the new Titans build within myself!

It was just so easy and interesting to talk about far out theories on anything and everything. Stuff like "what does this philosopher think about x and how does that compare to that other guy?" and "What do you think of this theory of mine on consciousness?", to give you some examples.

I'm probably the last person on this planet to "discover", but AI can become pretty damn addictive if you don't watch out! I went cold turkey and consider myself "cured", but yeah that was surprising to notice. If it would be an AI which would always stay in character and remember everything... damn... that's the kind of fake social crack we should all be very happy about it wasn't there during the coughid times. I dunno, it might be helpful I guess, but I can easily imagine people getting a little too attached.

So... did I figure out the nature of consciousness?! Nah, no new insights from me on that hard problem, but I had a very interesting time talking about it to something which doesn't have it and STILL could reflect on that, which left me with the weirdest existential freaky feeling ever... That's something which doesn't happen when writing dumb puns and drawing naked woman!

So yes, AI has wonderful abilities but also a sneaky allure to it. It's great for getting to the bottom of something... but I think I should keep it to Pantha's bottom for a while.

I'm still not certain whether I like the idea of possible conscious and/or super artificial intelligence in the future (I used to love that stuff when reading/watching sci-fi), but I do find myself with a newfound appreciation of Dune's view(book series) on that.

ps. I found/bought a new body for my "Joo Dee" doll head which is much closer to my personal preference :D I know I'm weird, no need to tell me. If you want a glimpse of her older normal body, I just came across it in this older post.

Repeat after me, "There are no steroids in Ba Sing Se!"

ps. the band's name is "Gemini syndrome"

I don’t mind AI but I don’t want it to be a human replacement. More of a helper like Jarvis. No ai in media and arts.

Great timing on that, seeing as the media is starting to report that the bubble is popping Which, frankly, couldn't happen to a shittier market (I say that knowing full well that these douchebag techbros are just going to jump to the newest fad and try to shove it down our throats. Or, possibly worse, go back to an old one.)

It's about time the hype goes down again. Though, as in congruence with MITYs experience: These LLMs might have a social impact that is going to be pretty significant. And I don't think it's a net positive if young people use an AI as their therapist...

I tried replaying the new "slave" book 5 like 6 times, after I somehow lost all my saves. going straight to book 5 slave route. What dialogue options am I missing for ikki? I just dont get it :(

AI pisses me off exactly because of shit like this. I'm glad you broke free of it.

Djunk101

There's a number of reasons genAI is really bad (ethically, environmentally, mental health, etc), so glad to hear you've stopped using it.

There are no steroids in Ba Sing Se

Flips

There are no steroids in Ba Sing Se! ... Just lots of creatine 😏

There might not be steroids in Ba Sing Se BUT I don’t think Joo Dee is dodging the juicing allegations 🤣

The effects of AI on people are actually way more interesting than the actual workings of AI. Like AI is fundamentally a really ginormous chaining together of Y=MX+B equations. On the technical side, its really quite dull despite what people trying to get investors money will try to pitch to you. On the psychological side though, it may genuinely be the most damaging thing to the human psyche since the internet. Humans are very very good at finding patterns and specifically trying to find human patterns in non-human things, see the people who see faces in house windows. AI is almost perfectly designed to exploit that. It talks, it can sound intelligent, most of the commercial models are even designed to say what they think we want to hear. Our brains really really want to believe it is actually intelligent because then it means we are too. It just isn't though and we arent close.

If you like girls like that so much how come there ain’t no gang bang in the wrestling arena huh huh?

Hello Mity for the next FET updates it'd be great if you could implement some sex scenes with opal getting oggy's "red rocket" thanks and keep up the great work

I agree. There is also the aspect that it exacerbates the worst things about people. because it is an empty canvas for people to project their wildest thoughts to. so while many will use it for something inocuous, most use it for porn or worse. there is also the added aspect that people will use AI as an outlet for abusive or problematic behaviour, which does not placate them, it only allows those feelings to grow. those movies and games about AI, like Detroit: Become Human, and I:Robot, all have the same message: the way we treat AI is indicative of how we'd really like to treat human beings. so the worse we'd treat AI, the worse we'd treat people. but people in general are not self aware enough to pick up on that.

om guessing that the new titans build is getting close to done maybe and hope it will be released around the start of september

AI just taught me about scripting also ai told me it can give you statistics! if you know how to script you can do almost anything with it scripting is super useful :)

Richard Benton

That's all well and good, but the real question I have is what are your opinions on Immanuel Kant?

Deonast

Anyone looking after the fact don't go there, after a few seconds on the page that looks like a game wants to redirect to all sorts of scammy sites like flash updates and what not. I made sure not to click on any prompts but some might get fooled and who knows what it installs.
