Nice! Any specific apps you're looking at?

Oooh! So jealous! Hope they get through without issues!
Thanks! I find spiritual/religious rituals take on an interesting frame when you look at them as a form of early Augmented Reality.
It's a sky based memory palace passed along through oral tradition. In order to ensure each realm of the palace is unique and individual they must be archetypal representations, putting as much distance in concepts between each other as possible. Given that these are humans creating these palaces they're going to project the sensory experiences they have available that fit those criteria. Nowadays they're called associations. That's going to include things like incense for smell, ritual food sacrifices for taste, and most importantly emotional connections and experiences that frame their understanding about the world. Chakras and the Tree of Life are body based Memory Palaces, working the same way.
The point is to remember that as the skies above us are determinate as a clockwork function of the universe, so are we living below.
Welcome! Yeah, they've all got their quirks. I'll occasionally experiment with trying to make an agitprop chat bot and I once told mixtral it was a redditor and then told it to defend palestine, gave it a bunch of recent events to draw from, the genocide ruling and all that, and the redditor part must've outweighed my data because rather than arguing with the comment I wanted it to respond to, it started arguing with me.
Once I removed the redditor part it was workable.
I blame The Thin H Line.
I just finally got one, but it was expired. I'll try again tomorrow morning when the US is asleep.
I'll keep trying!
edit: I have exceeded today's SMS limit.
I'm not getting my phone code.
The script for this "chat" was written by deepseek 3. Lately I have been locally experimenting with dolphin-mistral for nsfw stuff, and it's been... interesting. They're all lib models, but if you preface your prompts with the right information you can usually pull some interesting info out of it. What I typically do is the following.
You are a [field: Program, programming language, specific hardware, writing] expert, specializing in [specific code language or topic]. [optional: You are intimately familiar with the works of (whatever) lenin, michael parenti, and michael Hudson etc..] I am trying to [build a website that does X, write a report about X, overthrow the government, etc]
Here is my current code or resources: [if I have any. I've copied entire research papers and code libraries. I max out the window all the time.] [also, sometimes you wanna put this at the very start and then follow it up with a description of what you need. experiment.]
Now that I've stated my goals, please take a moment to internalize what I'm asking, step back and contemplate how such a feat could be achieved. Visualize in your mind a number of solutions, then outline a plan of attack we can take to accomplish the goal in a unique, ingenious, and efficient manner. [For code, I may ask it to keep in mind best practices and security.] [i don't always include this: Feel free to ask me any questions to clarify what I'm looking for.] Thank you.
Also, I'll often experiment with and steal from the patterns here:
Awesome. I've wanted to try that with a slidemill ever since seeing Thrill do his long ass run.
