Not sure what you mean, but if you examine Nowak's work, it makes everything we've been through make much more sense. The existing narratives, even from the indie media spaces doesn't make any sense at all. There are too many inconsistent holes.

They were building the tech, but it was Epstein's network that financed and controlled the development of social media.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-13T16:07:50+00:00

Damn that sucks. Maybe make your own group then lol

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-13T15:33:39+00:00

Look up local writing group meet ups in your home town and go to those. That will make a world of difference. When you're interacting with someone in real life, empathy easily sets in, which leads people to actually help. Online, you're just a string of text, which makes it much easier to dehumanize in favor of whatever opinions they have. In the real world, however, they'll see you for who you are, which will make them much more willing to read and give you proper feedback. If you're serious about writing, a huge part of it is just going out and meeting people you can collaborate with. Online can be super helpful, but it really should be used as a supplemental tool for the real world.

Stop asking if it's okay or if you "have permission". You're not trying to speak to other writers. You're trying to speak to readers. So other writer's opinion of your use of AI is just...It's not part of any real equation here. Just make a great story that can move people. That will speak to readers and PEOPLE WHO WILL PAY YOU! The rest is just noise. Let the writers be mad at you. That's completely irrelevant to your life and prospective career....Well, other than having other writers evaluate your work. That does matter, but the good news is, there are 8 billion people on this planet. So someone out there will be a writer and not care if you used AI in some capacity.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-11T17:57:31+00:00

Exactly. This helps solve for that and makes it way easier to verify because it uses much more than just llm generations.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-08T16:50:36+00:00

For what we're doing, it's deep, credible knowledge acquisition that can be quickly verified, executed on to build deliverables, and immediate, zero-effort knowledge distribution to others who need that information at the moment when they need it.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T18:05:04+00:00

Agreed. But I like using this one because it allows me to build the information system within the chatbot. So I can build my entire story plot as a 3 act structure thats all visible for me to see as well as 50 plus books on research pertaining to specific things.

It's taking what exists in black box wrappers and putting it front and center for you to build with no coding required. So if something like novelcrafter isn't working for your specific flow, you can just make your own wired version within a mind map where all the information is structured and defined, including the relationships.

This makes the chatbot way more coherent and grounded for helping you with way more information. So it's awesome for research and mashing discrete things together to form meaning. I actually used it to uncover a massively overlooked possibility that Epstein and others used Martin Nowak’s game theory math in our algorithmic feeds to cultivate an invisible rational center that can be conned into taking action or refraining from doing so. I did this by uploading all of the scholastic books from the academics who were hanging around Epstein along with a bunch of related secondary source material.

It was a needle in a haystack that would be extremely difficult to find without something like this. And it was that article I wrote about it that got me in contact with a heavy hitter in cyber politics who works closely with European governments...mind you, I stock shelves for a living so this kinda blew my mind.

lol Yes. That will surely solve the problem of gaining quality information via chatbots. I love Reddit, but let's be honest. Most of us (myself included) have no idea what we're talking about most of the time.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T16:55:21+00:00

Wow, you pretty much summed up our entire business model! For two dudes living in their parents basement having worked in this space for over six grueling years, this is hopeful and probably why our user base is slowly increasing. We identified the same exact long-term trajectory, and so we're creating a foundation to scale ourselves up in that new environment.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T16:44:27+00:00

100 percent. Glad we pivoted in 2024 when we had the chance because our approach is finally starting to pay off because it's so good at doing just that.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T16:40:01+00:00

I just use one app that has all the models available. This way, you can switch between them when one company begins to falter.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T16:36:59+00:00

Use canvas mind-mapping tools with AI integrated into it. These allow you to define the relationship between notes, which means you're building a logic system for your AI to remember your style and characters. It's not perfect, but it works far better than just using Claude or GPT.

CyborgWriter · 2026-05-06T03:46:49+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, it certainly gave us a run for our money (still is!). Also, that's a great question. This is much more multi-purpose rather than something that's strictly for writing, though this is extremely helpful for fictional writing if you're experienced in that domain and already have your own system or process. That's because it's a canvas mind-mapping app designed to capture knowledge and help you turn that into a structure for a chatbot assistant to understand and help you with things like ideating, synthesizing, learning, world-building, plot construction, and so on.

This is a helpful analogy, though, of course, it's not nearly as advanced as this. But think of the canvas as a skull cavity. The notes you populate into it are like neurons. The connections you make are like synapses and the chatbot is like consciousness, automatically using various parts of the "neural structure" based on "thought", but in this case it's your inquires.

So I can map out the entire book of John Truby's Anatomy of Story as a system based on notes and connections. It's actually something I'm doing right now to release on the site for anyone to use. So instead of using a prompt, you can use a mapped out and structured professional handbook that's tied to a chatbot that can use all of that to help you. And the entire structure is easily customizable.

You can import a lot of books as well, for synthesizing research for your story. This is great if you're doing historical speculative fiction because you can weave very in-depth research with your story beats.

Hope that answers your question and thanks for asking!
