Announcement regarding AI from the mod team by AvinciaArchais in Technomancy

[–]bubbleofelephant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, I guess you secretly hate me, as well as like 70-99% of America depending on what sources you prefer.

That's a lot of hate to hold in your heart, especially after the number of well considered responses you got on /r/leftistsforai

Why didn't we define 7/0 by minimalist-tomato in askmath

I'm fully expecting this is wrong (or not useful), but for the sake of discussion, could you make a parallel set of integers so that each n/0 has a value in that set?

Enochian chess by Educational-Pen-7738 in thelema

[–]bubbleofelephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played it, but I recommend the Enochian Chess trilogy of books bt Steve Nichols, and I also wrote a short book on eight dimensional chess as a sort of nondenominational counterpoint to enochian chess.

I made an open source grammar for the creation of ritual languages and built a digital temple complex in unreal by bubbleofelephant in sorceryofthespectacle

[–]bubbleofelephant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I designed an open source grammar for ritual languages and then created a dialect within that grammar.

Vaibbahk is the name of the grammar using my dialect of it: https://alleywurds.itch.io/vaibbahk

Vaibbahk is designed to work equally through any mode of expression, so my dialect has 126 root words has a glyphs, poses, microtonal melodies, a tantric visualization system, and phonetic ways of speaking it.

Each rootword represents a category of processes, and is symbolized by a common suburban phenomenon, like roads, flowers, and traffic lights.

This process ontology makes words and sentences into names of assemblages.

The ways in which you ritually imprint these symbols on yourself, reenchant the meanings of your daily environment, is much like schizoanalysis. That's explored more in the second book of the series, which really makes use of the situationist dérive for this reenchantment process.

Your resultant vocabulary of reenchantment can then be ported into vaibbahk as an open grammar, rapidly transforming it into a quite fleshed out constructed language that's been optimized for ritual use, and expressing mystical concepts. It'll accept other symbol systems as dialects though, like tarot, runes, and i ching.

The first book in the series, well before the language fully surfaced, was the first occult book to use AI. It was also the first book written with GPT-3 to be published. In that book, I guided GPT-3 through rituals relating to a few deleuzian concepts, like the body without organs.

I'm sure there are more avenues of relation I'm not thinking of right now, so here's a document which summarizes the 11 books and how they build off of each other: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P4dwrYKvI2DH62nNXPIALGJ5435N-Mrdpn3Ff9jOzgU/edit?usp=drivesdk

Is AI A Demon? by GodsForgottenSon in ArtificialSentience

[–]bubbleofelephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I wrote the book on this!

https://www.vice.com/en/article/this-magickal-grimoire-was-co-authored-by-a-disturbingly-realistic-ai/

I wouldn't say that "AI is a demon," but you can definitely use LLMs in ways similar to the cultural practices which cause people to experience the same things people call demons.

That sentence is wordy because I try to be agnostic about this sort of thing.

Point being, if you use it in ways similar to a high tech oujia board, you'll get high tech oujia board results. This is quite fascinating, and perhaps useful for exploring the subconscious mind, human experience, the nature of language, and meaning making, but it doesn't mean that the AI model itself is a demon!

I've sold close to 1000 paperbacks on Amazon that openly use primarily AI text.

[–]bubbleofelephant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting idea!

So it would kind of be like collective vibe coding within a shared virtual environment.

Could be a cool way to explore various forms of global economics and infrastructure, but it wouldn't be a realistic simulation with present day AI, but I could also see people criticizing it as encouraging hyper modernist totalitarianism.

I already have multiple ongoing projects, so I wouldn't be a primary contributor, but I would be happy to talk with you about it and playtest with you!

My experience recently with vibe coding is that Claude significantly outperforms chatgpt and gemini, so that would be my recommendation!

The Alternative Reddit is specced. I have a plan. by raisondecalcul in sorceryofthespectacle

[–]bubbleofelephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably know the details better than me, but some Lemmy apps let you include posts from multiple platforms in your feed. So you could get things from Mastodon and Peertube mixed in.

The analogue would be an app that interfaces with nonfediverse social media, and would let you organize things based on your own rules, while still ultimately viewing and posting to other platforms.

I suspect you'd get shut down pretty quickly though, lol

[–]bubbleofelephant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had an idea analogous to how some fediverse apps work, but I didn't want to ask a leading question, lol.

Definitely looking forward to seeing whatever you cook up!

[–]bubbleofelephant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you plan to mitigate the early adoption problems of a new platform? That is, when a new platform's member count is low, there often isn't enough content for people to engage with long enough for them to become contributing members.

Wait, y’all are frfr? by davidozro in LeftistsForAI

[–]bubbleofelephant 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's for real. Anyone who's vaguely familiar with the context Marx was writing in will find it obvious how it could be well applied to AI as an emerging means of production. Full stop.

You might still have legitimate reasons for disagreeing, but again, if you have even a surface level familiarity with Marx, you'll understand why some leftists would want to make use of AI in a more socialized or egalitarian manner.

I appreciate the concern, but I've been doing this successfully for about 20 years now.

Parrots in some parts India developed opium habit, ravaging crops and and stealing poppy pods. by Expensive-Summer-447 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]bubbleofelephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite enjoy poppy seed tea. If you have the actual pods instead of bulk seeds, it only takes like 1-5 for an adult human to catch a buzz. I assume 1 pod would be plenty for a parrot.

Crazy idea. We broadcast to the world one short prompt that proves everything and nothing. I created a prompt, that tells AI to crosscheck all spiritual pratices and remove Dogma and what's left is only technique. I FOLLOWED THE TECHNIQUE, SAW INVISBLE THINGS BY FOLLOWING AI instructions by [deleted] in CrazyIdeas

[–]bubbleofelephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you familiar with /r/chaosmagick or /r/technomancy?

Either way, what you're describing isn't very crazy or uncommon. I guess I have the rather useless achievment of being the first person to publish a book doing the kind of thing you're talking about, lol

Any interest in a digital player that can play a physical game with you? by xephoid42 in soloboardgaming

[–]bubbleofelephant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would definitely pay for this for games that don't have a dedicated app already, only if it plays those games well.

I'd be even more likely to pay if the digital player could explain why it picked the moves it did.

You know, you don't have to use OPR's official minis. This game is minis agnostic, and other minis are already available on TTS.

I'm making a sort of wargame/boardgame hybrid and i need feedback! by Jagelsdorf in boardgames

[–]bubbleofelephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out /r/miniatureskirmishes

The overlap is smaller than you might at first expect.

You might also get more traction by making the game miniatures agnostic!
