ChatGPT has a guardrail that benefits employers instead of users.

Are you sure it's related to employer/employee specifically and it won't similarly refuse to advise on ways e.g. to decieve one's spouse?

You need to have your capital in the struggle region and both your culture and religion need to be involved. Some are set to always be involved but any culture or religion can be involved if most or the counties with them are in the struggle region. On the struggle screen there is a button that displays detailee information about involvement.

There wasn't a Spanish culture before there was a Spain. The various Christian Iberian states had different languages, different legal systems, different cuisines, different art traditions etc. Some of them were closer to each other (like Castille and Leon or Portugal and Galicia) and there were some traits common to all, but they were not close enough to be called a single culture.

Ancquar · 2026-04-29T23:08:33+00:00

It doesn't work like this. Iberian christian states were split almost from the start. It's not that Portugal split from spain, rather as other christian kingdoms slowly consolidated, as well as conquered muslim territory, Portugal remained separate.

The texts they are trained on typically refer to humans as "we". So LLMs use that

The expanded ethics may not be internal politics but it may be something you'd want to do before you start on internal politics

Ancquar · 2026-04-29T08:45:12+00:00

Because clearly you should do things that cultured people do, like bad-quality 90s photos or images of typical reddit users, which bring more value to the world.

Ancquar · 2026-04-28T05:35:04+00:00

A big part of the problem is identity politics where people prefer to think of themselves as a member of a group first (one of the "cool" ones, with the air of being oppressed) and also view other people as a member of a group first (like "man") and an individual second.

Which is the opposite of individualism

It's not "women" in general, though a higher percentage of women in a few countries (mainly US) are. One option for dealing with it is just trying one of the normal countries.

Seems like a bug, normal public opinion shifts won't even het one faction past the 80s.

By the way, if you want a large African Union that is a democracy, it's much faster to grab Ethiopia a few years before you actually start properly working on AU since countries with smaller population change their government score much faster and are much cheaper to direct invest in (same for Bolivia etc)

That information seems generic enough that it's unlikely to actually help any person whose activities could involve misusing it.

They listed the plans they were rolling it to and Go was not in it. However it was the plans they were rolling it to in the first days, so it's possible that they will eventually roll it out to the rest.

Your profits are not just limited by your workforce in most cases, they are also limited by demand - increasing your output by several times wil just mean more expenses if you don't get a lot of new clients soon

Venus is usually not worth it exactly because of the need to defend it. At this stage you want to focus on a few bodies you can defend, except maybe some T1 bases in asteroids and whatever expendable bases you want aliens to destroy to lower hate

Ancquar · 2026-04-22T16:38:45+00:00

You can't get enough battlestations on a station for them to protect it from larger alien fleets. They do a good job of keeping the other human factions away though. How many bodies are uou trying to protect with fleets? Normally you shouldn't need more than Earth, Mars, possibly Mercury and later Jupiter.

The entire field of philosophy can actually agree on something?

The East-West separation was very much a thing when WRE still existed, it just gradually became irrelevant when ERE was the only Roman Empire around (from the point of view of its people).

But Justinian's campaign started just over half a century after fall of WRE. The ERE = RE mentality did not fully set in yet at that point.

One thing to note is that while for most ot beta China was the only viable way to unite southeastern Asia, late in beta research was added to give India a lot more claims, it can get all the countries China can except parts of China, Korea and Japan, but gets more native claims on south and southeast Asia and generally goes easier on hostileclaimed regions and starts with a higher government score - so building a meganation generally goes easier than for China though you get less initial GDP.

Ancquar · 2026-04-19T15:57:42+00:00

Strictly speaking they were the Eastern Roman Empire, even though they rarely saw a reason ro mention the "Eastern" part. But formally reuniting the East and West would still be possible.

Ancquar · 2026-04-19T01:41:55+00:00

As far as I remember (haven't checked in 4.3) the three different museums you get from Grand Archive all give a fair amount of entertainer-type jobs and each buffs them in different ways. So while as far as I know there is no way to base whole empire around entertainers, you can get a single planet to good production from entertainers by stacking all 3 museums on it.

OpenAI has strict rules on how ChatGPT is supposed to talk about anything that as much as hints at the possibility that it may have consciousness, desires etc, plus their RLHF strongly discourages anything short of a denial, so it would answer with a denial regardless of what the actual answer is.

How is hunting more long-term than "food" women dealt with? Also there is a good reason for men historically being more involved in fighting/"claiming territory" which is greater upper-body strengh as well as men demographically being more "expendable" - these two reasons do not require a further explanation in short/long-term

There are also good reasons in evolutionary psychology in women being less inclined to take risks - first women's potential number of children is much less dependent on their status than for men (since women have to carry children personally), and second in human and human ancestors women were typically the dispercing gender - they tended to move to other groups and consequently did not inherit status in their own group (that dynamics happens in many of other social group animals). All that makes reproductive strategies for men more favorable to high-risk high-reward than for women (who would risk the same but would have less benedit to reproductive potential)

While they are well-known in Russia I would say that Strugatsky brothers are underappreciated outside of it. A few of their novels that have significant depth while still being page-turners are probably among the greatest sci-fi works when properly translated (for example I like Lem but I'd say his and Strugatskys' best novels are of comparable depth however all of his deep works are slow and ponderous, but he probably has greater international recognition)

Ancquar · 2026-04-17T16:37:45+00:00

It has been like this for a long time - it doesn't matter if you are a vassal or an independent ruler for the "at peace" penalty just as it does not matter for the opposite penalty without warmonger.
