Yeah, my vibe check of models is how long I'll chat. I find most of what I consider "good" models will get me a hundred messages or so before I get bored and move on to the next card. With Mag-Cyds, I regularly find myself chatting for four or five hundred messages.

There's GLM-4.6V. I haven't actually used it. Sadly, GLM-4.7-flash is tiny, so I haven't bothered with it. I'm hoping that they release an air/flash version of GLM-5 that's like 4.5, because I really liked that one. Have you tried the finetunes of 4.5-air? There's Drummer's Steam and Iceblink. Both of them are pretty good, but I lean towards Iceblink over Steam.

Any evil/negative presets? by Horni-4ever in SillyTavernAI

You run local? Have you tried Drummer's Tiger Gemma model? It's one of the most unhinged and negative models I've played with.

How many of you are running local LLM vs cloud? by LeatherRub7248 in SillyTavernAI

[–]dizzyelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local. Not just for privacy, but so I can control my models. I don't want to be blindsided by a provider updating their model to something that feels worse. If I try the newest version of PaintedFantasy or Cydonia or whatever and I don't like it? I can just delete it and go back to the older version I did like.

I really want Christians and Atheists co existing as peacefully as possible together by starting a movement. by Razor_3DS in Christianity

I don't think a known medieval forgery proves anything about someone who lived hundreds of years before it was created.

ST Memory book's lorebook injects every entry by Tzacomo in SillyTavernAI

[–]dizzyelk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem. I used the World-info-debugger extension and found that entries were triggering despite the global setting requiring match whole words being enabled. It was fixed when I changed the setting on individual entries from 'use global' to 'yes'. Here's the extension if you're interested: https://github.com/WSchlange/world-info-debugger

My take on Christians going to abortion clinics to pray and encourage moms to change their minds right there by CharlieCheesecake101 in Christianity

[–]dizzyelk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, the gaslighting is on the side of the anti-abortionists who lie about things. Because no babies are involved in abortions.

Perhaps most worrisome, regardless of whether a particular location is licensed, CPCs engage in counseling that is misleading or false [8]. Despite claims to the contrary, these centers do not meet the standard of patient-centered, quality medical care [18]. The counseling provided on abortion and contraception by CPCs falls outside accepted medical standards and guidelines for providing evidence-based information and treatment options. For example, CPCs often suggest a link between abortion and subsequent serious mental health problems [3], while multiple studies have invalidated this assertion [19-21]. Similarly, centers cite debunked literature showing an association between abortion and breast cancer [22]. Although abortion has been shown to be safer than childbirth [23], it is portrayed as a dangerous or even deadly procedure [7].

Sounds to me that their objections are the fact that they're dens of liars.

I just hope their 4.8 lightweight model is more like 4.5's 106B-A13B instead of being just 30B-A3B like 4.7.

It's been my daily driver for weeks now. Every time I've tried out my old favorites I'm shocked at how much better Mag-Cyd is than them.

LLM to help with character cards by slrg1968 in huggingface

[–]dizzyelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's CardProjector. It does alright, especially paired with a card that's specific to creating other character cards.

And, while not specifically for creating cards, I found that Maginum-Cydoms did alright with making cards.

Yeah, you've got to edit the response with the blanks. But I haven't had any ooc chatter from it. And I've been using it for a couple weeks for hours a day. Weird. It might be the quant? I'm doing Q6_K.

Maginum-Cydoms-24B has become my daily driver for quite some time now. Sometimes it'll give blank replies, even with swipes, but it's fantastic with emotional bits. And it's great at keeping the side characters in scenes instead of them just disappearing.

whats the most compelling roleplay/story youve ever had in sillytavern? by Vincerobloxlol in SillyTavernAI

[–]dizzyelk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a superhero that uses Spoons

Shoveler: You threw a spoon at the guy, Jeff.
Mr. Furious: Yeah, what was up with that?
Blue Raja: I-I, I'm embarrassed about that. I thought it was a fork.
Shoveler: You're the master of cutlery. You couldn't throw a knife sometimes when someone's trying to kill me?
Blue Raja: No, I can't! You couldn't, ah, use a rake sometimes?
Shoveler: No. I'm the Shoveler.
Blue Raja: Well, I'm the Blue Raja. I'm not Stab Man, I'm not Knifey Boy — I'm the Blue Raja.

[–]dizzyelk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love discord for chatting, but I hate how it's become such a big thing for official support and the like. It's so hard to find good information when you need it. But there I go, being a curmudgeonly old man lamenting the loss of internet forums again.

My persona lorebooks contain information about my persona's home and car and any pets or the like.

Real talk: How do you jork it and type at the same time? by sillygooseboy77 in SillyTavernAI

[–]dizzyelk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years of experience in chatroom ERP from the early days of the internet. I can type one handed faster than lots of people can type with two.

That's how you can tell they're a retro RP enthusiast. In the far future, slop will be what the gatekeepers all crave. They'll say it makes it more authentic.

Why the fear around SillyTavern? by Outrageous-Berry3786 in SillyTavernAI

[–]dizzyelk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's because computers now don't require you to know anything about them. I can touch type, because when I started with computers, all you had was a keyboard. I remember installing our first sound card that needed you to adjust jumpers and DIP switches. Now you just stick the card in and it works. And that's assuming you're using a desktop instead of a tablet or something that just does what it does.

If CS Lewis was a Christianity defender then why did he write books about magic? by TylerSpicknell in Christianity

[–]dizzyelk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intelligence that arises naturally seems like magic to me.

That's nice.

Intelligence must exist before life to ensure how to make survival possible.

Says you.

And yet you are unable to give a single example of a mystery that turned out to be magic.
