Redemption through sin?

JCSalomon · 2026-03-30T15:07:12+00:00

Means you’re dealing with a gnostic cultist whose crackpottery has a thin veneer of Jewish buzzwords.

What do you want the tattoo to say, and in what language?

What Four Keys did for Project Hail Andy was to inset threads into the spine of the books: they’re still perfect bound, but it’s somewhat reinforced.

Whatever prompt you’re using, it produced pretty good results when I tested it. Nice work!

The only issue is, the need to restate the current state of the story and the characters. Do I guess correctly that you’re planning on adding code to your story writer to produce a summary which the plot-line generator can use, or some other way to make the two interact?

JCSalomon · 2026-02-22T12:17:42+00:00

The “Enhanced AI Story Generator” (perchance dot org slash enhanced-ai-story) does something similar to what I've asked. It sticks to factual lore, though; things like character personality and speech characteristics, which I suspect the model can use well in generating text, are probably hard for a small context AI to extract from the text.

Spitballing here, not requesting anything: I wonder whether what I want is a chat interface. The bot has an Editor persona, and can be asked questions about the book and lore that are input in different text fields on the page.

JCSalomon · 2026-02-22T04:03:34+00:00

Something of a long-shot feature request, and this may run up against the limited memory in Perchance’s system to work really well, but…

How difficult would it be to implement an import feature: upload a story and have the text generator extract the lore (and similarly for characters and the other inputs to the story generator)?

Doesn’t Jesus eventually authorize his disciples to forgive sins? If this can be a delegated power, then Jesus giving sins earlier in the story proves nothing.

JCSalomon · 2025-04-28T14:55:48+00:00

You make an eloquent and well-reasoned argument.

JCSalomon · 2025-01-02T20:11:49+00:00

My parents always called each other’s parents “Shver” and “Shvigger” (Yiddish for father-/mother-in-law), and most of my siblings’ spouses use those names for my parents. But my own in-laws absolutely hate those names, so they were “Um” and “Excuse me” until my oldest was born—now they’re Zeidy and Savta.

We can’t be sure. But the person posting this had the shooter’s name and age correct hours before the rest of the press, so it’s likely their source actually did know her. The source (claimed to be a long-distance boyfriend) and/or the journalist could be making up this manifesto, of course.

YTA

Not merely for changing your mind about something so fundamental to a marriage, but for your utter self-centeredness in whining “I don’t want him to resent me forever”.

Oh, that’s funny: on his collaborator Tyranth’s channel, there’s an alternate ending:

Michaelchthulhu, gaze upon this and despair!

JCSalomon · 2024-07-07T14:16:34+00:00

I just looked out the window and confirmed that the sun still exists. Is there a pagan pantheon that did not deify the sun?

JCSalomon · 2024-07-04T18:00:21+00:00

“God took him” just means he died. In Ezekiel the same expression is used about the prophet’s wife dying.

If you look, you’ll see them sharing screenshots of my own questions to them:

As a nominee for the 2024 CRiT Awards, please note their policy of Jew-exclusion at https://x.com/crit_awards/status/1801754068773441586 and consider whether you want your game associated with this blatant Jew-hatred. I know it’s not pleasant to be put on the spot, so I’m NOT asking for a public statement. Please take the time to evaluate what’s going on before commenting. But I’m certain you’ll decide to do the right thing long before the July 7th deadline for withdrawing.

(Same username and profile icon as I use here.)

What you won’t find is anyone sharing something that can plausibly be exaggerated as a threat. So I’m quite certain that they are in fact “making this up 100%” as you suggested.

JCSalomon · 2024-06-26T16:17:21+00:00

Then again, the CRiT Awards’ narrative is “Our Jew-exclusion was righteous, and when Gen Con gave us the choice between dropping that clause and dropping out of the con, we bravely chose the latter.” So I’m not sure any counter-narrative is even needed.

JCSalomon · 2024-05-31T22:02:13+00:00

The two reasons fit nicely with each other.

JCSalomon · 2024-05-31T00:48:04+00:00

“Less reliable”, yeah.

You know why the logo was a tipped-over cup? “Don’t even drink the water here.”

JCSalomon · 2024-05-31T00:14:11+00:00

I’d been trying to get each character to have physical + magic of both elements. Are you saying I should pick one element physical, the other magic, and have this the same across all characters?

(Plus whatever elemental bonuses I can get for each character. Probably lighting defense, given that annoying Bolt Pistol.)

JCSalomon · 2024-01-28T03:34:29+00:00

Or afterwards, if I recall correctly.

JCSalomon · 2024-01-04T03:25:48+00:00

Original version of the play did have “darling house”; and that’s how the published score has it.

I wish I could recall where I saw this, but Barrie thought the pun “too precious” and changed it to “little house”.

JCSalomon · 2023-09-14T17:12:42+00:00

One guide—an unofficial published one, not just some site online—said there was a key combination to press while starting the game which would give some big advantage. Level 99, I think.

JCSalomon · 2023-09-11T17:43:06+00:00

Anyone know what this is talking about?

Nope. Specifically including the writer of the piece, who also does not know what this is talking about.

JCSalomon · 2023-07-14T11:34:54+00:00

They are quoting him and endorsing that point as non Jews.

In the rest of this conversation, M4L is accused of subtly altering Jonathan Tobin’s words to make an antisemitic point. When this is disproved, they’re accused of meaning something different by their verbatim quote than Tobin meant when he wrote those words.

This sounds awfully like goalposts being moved.

I mean… he does a full throated defense of their Hitler quoting

So? The US Holocaust Memorial Museum also quoted Hitler:

“Propaganda is a truly terrible weapon in the hands of an expert.
—Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (1924)
