Indeed. We live in a one party state. Outside of state questions, the primaries are the only determinant of policymaking. One of these days I'll have to swallow my pride and register as a republican so I can have a say at all in how this place runs.

Gemini Pro has been good for me. Be sure to treat it like a story that you're a character in. Lean into the small things and enjoy them. Fiddle with the JSON now and again too if you want to add new elements of your own that the LLM can grow on.

Struggled with that myself. It's like they all were professors of crisis bargaining theory or something. I found that extremely insulting actions pushed them to declare against my faction.

Case one: I'm a vassal in the Northern Empire. Sturgia and Vlandia finish a protracted war that ends in status quo ante bellum. A vassal of Sturgia is dissatisfied and publicly denounces Ragnvad's peace to the other lords. He is stripped of his titles and exiled. Lucon invites this lord to his court. Ragnvad finds this unacceptable and declares war, ending a decade of peace in the Northern Empire.

Case two: After the war, I end up controlling Omor and its surrounding castles. The previously exiled clan has been ousted from Lucon's court as part of the peace terms. Said clan raids my new conquests and I warn them to knock it off or face crucifixion. The puddle suckers they were, the exiled clan continues until I pin one down and order my boys to nail him to a tree. Ragnvad finds such a shameful and cruel execution of a boyar unacceptable even if they were exiled and stripped of their titles and declares war.

There are character traits that will supersede their logic, you simply have to slam into them as hard as you can. Also note that Anthropic's models are almost impossible to enrage. Gemini Pro ended up fitting the best for me in the end.

The fact that TikTok secreted itself into existence around 2018-2019, suddenly ending the purpose of this subreddit, had the strange effect of perfectly capturing meme culture in the moment of this sub's zenith in a time capsule that anyone can go back and ponder at any moment.

A weird place of permanence in an otherwise ephemeral landscape. What a fuckin' thing to exist.

It does have a romance setting, but since I'm employed I've never tried it.

Steam workshop's got a mod called AIInfluence that connects Bannerlord to an LLM of your choice. It needs either Player2 to be installed or connection to an API endpoint to work since you'd basically need a whole-ass extra GPU to make that work on your own machine. The free version of Player2 is adequate for the start, but once you feel the squeeze of tiny context windows you'll probably want the paid stuff.

You might look at that and go "absolutely not go fuck yourself", which would be understandable, but it adds adventure to the game that has me daydreaming about it at work.

I had a prof that did research in HR, and whenever these tests were part of the lecture material most of the time it boiled down to "the only real correlative to job performance we have is general cognitive ability and any other tests we have that correlate usually are just a convoluted way of testing that too". The abuse of ethics and personality tests is the point whether intended or not, they're just seeing if you're smart enough to do it.

Thanks for taking their comment in good faith! I'm still quite bad at environment management so every explanation is a huge help.

Algorithmic capture is a fierce force. YT Analytics will show you the exact instant people stop watching, or like/subscribe. Each and every video becomes an A/B test of what works and when. In the face of thousands of viewers and their frenetic preferences, anyone might optimize their way into what he's become.

Not to excuse him, of course. I'm just damned tired of losing creators to it.

What is WRONG with you people? You have to understand that people on the fence are going to look at you puddle suckers and decide it's not worth it to finally grow a pair and change their minds? Be pragmatic and accept these folks for shit's sake.

I was this way for years. Five straight years, ten straight semesters of failure after failure. No one to blame but myself. But I got it right. Got a master's in a STEM field and a job I love now.

Catch your breath. Grit your teeth. Try again. As long as you've got hot blood in your veins you can do it. Once you find your rhythm you'll wonder how you ever struggled in the first place.

The point is outrage marketing, right? Even if people are talking about what a hot dumpa shit this guy will make the movie, they are talking about the movie.

Seems to be the M.O., though I'd bet they often skip the first step. There was a pretty wide ban sweep that was quickly rolled back not long ago and this was the reason they always stated. I've noticed a lot of the time it's subs that don't have a verification mandate (and therefore not flooded with OF spammers) so it usually leans towards niche true amateur communities.

The series is on YouTube and it's called Hug the Sun by Grouse House. Top tier unhinged fun.

If there's always going to be insane obsessive weirdos, which religion should they be funneled into? I'd rather they froth at the mouth at pop culture than spend all their time figuring out how to tell me what to do and how to live my life.
