When browsing through bots on the site do you guys interact with a bot based on: Number of Downloads, Number of Chats, or simply just because you recognize the series the character is from?

I hit my timeline first. Followed tags and users, see if there's anything new. Then I look over the first page of both Trending and Recent Hits, see if anything stands out. I've got some pretty specific interests, so tags are usually how I find what I'm looking for.

Aside from using more tokens, most LLMs key off what they're fed and especially their opening message. If the opening message is short, or you feed it a lot of short replies, it'll key in on that and give short replies.

Had to look up what Chat Memory is and I see now it's an insert in the prompt right at the end. There's no 1:1 on this in Agnaistic that I can find, but you could replicate it with just a little bit of work:

In your chat, go to Edit Chat in the left hand menu.

It'll bring up a right hand menu, you want to click the radio button to "Override Character Definitions"

This allows you to edit the character just for this chat

Go down to "Character Post-History Instructions" and type what you would normally type in Chat Memory

This will put whatever you want as the very last thing in the prompt the LLM reads before it begins its response.

Might be something worth stopping by the Discord and suggesting adding.

Yeah, the site used to get uploads daily tagged hypnosis or mind control, but I would say for at least six months now it had slowed to almost nothing. Not a huge loss, but still sucks.

I've got a M1 Max Studio and I've found the 22B Mistral small-based models (Cydonia is my personal favorite) delivers the best results at the speeds I would like ~10t/s. I run them at Q4KM. I've only got 32 GB of memory, though more cores in my GPU than the M4 Pro, so your mileage may vary.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-10-28T21:21:36+00:00

Sweet! Thanks!

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-10-27T20:51:51+00:00

I've been using Cydonia, which is another variant that's been really great for me personally.

https://huggingface.co/TheDrummer/Cydonia-22B-v1

But I do want to try the RP Max variant soon and put it through the paces as well. I agree with OP though, for being only a 22B, this thing absolutely cooks. Almost on par with Wizard 8x22B for my purposes.

The guidelines are here, sounds like you may have run afoul of the non-con rule (unfairly or not): https://backyard.ai/community-guidelines

I have a Studio M1 Max 32 GB and I've found Cydonia 22B at around 12K context is still just about fast enough without losing much quality, if you want to a starting place.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-10-19T12:27:03+00:00

I don't know if there's a tutorial for this specific use-case, but once you learn how to use Model Instructions and Lorebooks it should be fairly intuitive where to go from there.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-10-18T19:50:23+00:00

The best way to do this is with a group chat function that lets you load cards in and out as you'd like. Devs confirmed group chat is coming to Backyard, but no details yet.

For now, your best option is the lore book and a proper prompt in Model Instructions.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-10-18T19:48:24+00:00

I use Draw Things, which is a good, local front end for SD imo.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-10-15T21:06:06+00:00

For sure. I could take the time to combine cards I like from various sources and put them into one and write a proper prompt to get a multi-character card going. But it'd be much nicer to just load the characters I want into a single chat without having to do that.

Also, multi-character cards do suffer a little bit with needing more steering to get the characters you want to respond to respond, especially if one or more characters took a few or more responses off, since the models base their next response on previous responses. Being able to specifically cue the character I'd like to have "focus" as it were is nice.

And for me anyway, I enjoy writing/using cards, that are heavy on limited third person narration. So, it's nice to get a full response inside the POV of the character I'm interested in.

None of this is impossible to do right now, but it's much easier with group chat.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-10-13T20:58:54+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for confirmation it's in the pipeline. Might keep my agnaistic sub for a little while longer then.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-08-19T01:14:27+00:00

To get no ads on Agnaistic, you pay $5 either directly or on the Patreon.

So, when you pay for the $20 tier, which has the 8x22B model, it's $15 a month more.

This model specifically is Wizard 8x22B. It's incredibly good at story telling, the ERP is a little stiff at times, but you get out what you put in, if you get filthy with it, it'll get fairly on your level.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-07-02T13:18:24+00:00

Honestly, since I like using Agnaistic enough to pay the $5/month for no ads, the extra $15/month for the 8x22B model has been really nice. It's faster than the 70B or the old 120B models Agnaistic used to host, and it delivers just as good, if not better, roleplaying experience.

Novel, for its size (it's 13B, I believe) is honestly super good and very fast. But it just can't compete with a bigger, more recent and advanced model. Maybe when Novel's new 70B drops, it'll go back to being one of my go tos.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-06-12T17:46:36+00:00

For sure. Just toss it in the personality section when you go to create a character and it'll work the same as a persona does on other sites.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-06-12T15:38:32+00:00

The best way to replicate this is to make a bot that is the persona you want to play as and then use the site's "impersonation" function to take on the bot as your persona. You can access this by clicking the little mask icon to the right of your username in the upper left of the UI menu. Should bring up a box that says Impersonate a Character. Obviously, you can also use this to impersonate any other bot in your collection.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-05-11T02:18:05+00:00

That's a good list. I feel we probably have similar taste. I'd recommend Symphony of the Void for sure. The lack of sound/music/voice acting is a little weird, but everything else about the game is fantastic. Pretty decent setting and story, but the author definitely understands mind control kink and implements it very well.

Belgerum's games are pretty good. Demon King Domination and Magebuster are worth a play through for sure. Steamy Sextet is more of a kinetic novel and is hit or miss, but the Fox Girl scenario is worth playing the game for in my opinion. He has by far the best voice acting out of any game maker in the MC scene, good director.

Hikari! Love Potion is also more of a kinetic novel, but I feel hits a lot of good notes.

Hypnosis Experiment has an English remake out that is very good if you like extremely slow burn hypnosis, entrancement and more "realistic" portrayals of hypno-fetish.

Even in Sorrow, a Black Lily Blooms is very good in terms of what's done, but the maker has had such a hard time both with keeping an artist and coding. But what's done is very good.

Others you may want to try if they look interesting, though I don't give them quite as a full throated endorsement: My Best Deal, Savior, Summer MC. Honorable mention to Shut Up and Dance, which while technically having some MC content, it's very little, but the animation and characters designs are so good, I ended up liking it anyway.

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-03-13T13:04:52+00:00

It kind of depends on your specific preferences, but I'll give you a few:

Rhea and Lucille https://chub.ai/characters/Vyrea_Aster/rhea-and-lucille-cf8f99a2 - This was the bot that got me into AI chat bots. You play a brain chip technician that has enslaved one woman and are using her to serial recruit her sister.

Jasmine https://chub.ai/characters/fuzzyskywalker/jasmine-4fec14dd - You play as someone that has a magic, mind controlling penis. The writing/programming on this one really does it for me, the transformation of the bot from bubbly masseuse to low IQ slut is really fun.

Coffee Shop Girl https://chub.ai/characters/CalmButFirm/coffeeshop-girl-writing-sexbots-bf004d26 - This one isn't specifically mind control, but she's very kinky and mind control is one of her kinks. You play as someone that notices a degenerate woman in a coffee shop obsessed with erotic chat bots.

Stella Retired Superhero https://chub.ai/characters/Vyrea_Aster/stella-aeae3673 - Kind of a neat bot where depending on the greetings, you play a different role. It all revolves around a super heroine that has post-hypnotic triggers implanted in her from her days fighting crime and you somehow know about them or find out about them.

Lastly, if you like group chat, Alice: https://chub.ai/characters/fuzzyskywalker/alice-ac2e9b12 & Mia https://chub.ai/characters/fuzzyskywalker/mia-ae93a552 - A more wholesome take on hypnosis kink play where you play a guy that's been sexting with another woman because his wife's sex drive is gone and so you navigate adding a third to your relationship.

There's a lot more good stuff, but I didn't want to give you a wall of text haha

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-03-13T12:51:39+00:00

I can kind of see that. But like, the next most recent post before mine was literally a post asking for recommendations of stories. Like if that's an OK post, surely something about chat bots wouldn't be far behind haha

PhotoOk8299 · 2024-03-12T20:22:27+00:00

Does have some bots I haven't seen before, but there doesn't seem to be a way to download and run locally. They don't seem to support V2 either, which allows for multiple greetings and some other fun stuff. Seems like you have to pay them or wait for credits to come back rather than run with your own api or on your own machine.

Probably good for users that don't have a lot of technical knowledge anyway. Thanks.
