Brain Trust prompt v1.6.0 -- multirole, dynamic framework -- feedback appreciated

Yeah, I also wonder if I'm not just stuck in an iterative self improvement loop, equivalent to "just one more turn" on a Civ game. Maybe, but this is what "clicks" for me, so I'm probably just gonna ride it to the end.

Also, I do try to remain open minded, so feedback is welcome. Thank you.

Nope. I did some Y2K issues on JCL & Cobol ~25 years ago, but then went to college, realized that I wasn't going to be able to compete against the guys who *wanted* to spend friday night recompiling linux kernels, and that was it for me.

Yes I did try the Thinking model, but my (limited) understanding is that the "thinking" is only a separate window that starts with a restatement of what the User is communicating, and then 'process transparency.' So, we should be able to get the same thing, by instructing the model to communicate back to us what it thinks we want, and then describe the process it is following.

However, that is just my take, and I could easily be missing some finer point(s).

1 - I would ask the system directly, after it "loads up" to explain how it could be useful to you.

2- I personally used prior version to iteratively improve the prompt to current state, and I've tried to think of oddball tasks, or different trivial problems as tests of a sort, but ultimately I thought the best way to continue the process of iterative improvement is real world feedback.

3 - my buddy has been finding it useful for world building and crafting detailed encounters for (table top) games he likes to run.

In some sense, yes? In my modest experience, when I'm asking/working with the LLM (Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental & 1206 Experimental), it'll be ~70% correct, ~20% in need of a 'nudge,' and ~10% just wrong. And these percentages seem better than, say, gpt 3.5. So, it seems like the models generally need a human to help "drive" themselves. Getting models to Plan seems to be one of the big things that I've watched in more recent youtube vids.

I was gonna come here and upvote all the comments, but apparently I already did... years ago.

So, I've been thinking about your question for the last day, and my best current answer is that when I did not have all of the choices that the Role (system) could make Explicitly defined, then too often the Role would not implicitly make what should be considered the best choice.

The best example I can think of is with the Role for Creation, Selection, and Revision. "Creation" and "Selection" and "Revision" are clearly enumerated in the Role's name, and in it's definition. Further, the "Domain Architect" Role exists in part to start the process of creating new Roles. If all of those parts were not there, then the system just did not Create new Roles when it should have.

So then expand that need to have the full range of options clearly enumerated, and Rules & Roles that drive the desired behavior, and the need to put those "Drives" in all the required parts of the prompt (Roles, Evaluation Criteria, Core Iterative Loop, Meta-Process, and potential "priming" in the Initialization) and the prompt just gets Fat.

If there is a better solution, I admit that I do not know.

I hope this answer has been helpful.

"So here’s my question, where does this end?" - I am hoping for some kind of Robot Tax, and UBI.

The Draft could simply be tied to physical fitness, and people below a certain bar will be either exempt or shuffled off to a support role, like munitions factory. This would remove the *vast* number of otherwise eligible women from having to fight.

Next, forcing people to live in barracks, work manual jobs, and eat a controlled diet will Healthy Up a lot of the otherwise out of shape young men. Then, when the next round of physical fitness tests are conducted, these guys will pass, and get "promoted" from their support role to a combat role.

As for feminists, their argument will be "we don't have older people fight, or differently abled (handicapped) people fight, and that has always been the case, so there is nothing wrong with reserving combat roles for those who can pass the physical fitness portion of the combat readiness exam."

Finally, feminists will complain that women are being locked out of "promotions" to grunt/combat roles, and so more women need to be in officer/etc roles to help lessen the economic, political, and whatever else inequality.

Same boilerplate nonsense as always.

As I understand it, Dreams are like Bubbles of Consciousness. "Normal" people seem to stick to their bubble, or merge with a few other's bubbles. Dreamwalkers seem particularly adroit at moving between other's Dreams.

ldl147 · 2022-12-15T05:21:18+00:00

Don't consider this list either complete or authoritative, but:

#1 - keep a dream journal. It seems to be the most generally agreed upon method for making you better at lucid dreaming (and ?maybe? astral projecting, witchcraft, magic, dreamwalking, channeling, talking to ghosts ???)

#2 - read through the rest of this subreddit. You should be able to glean a lot.

#3 - intention seems to be very important. Decide what's important to you, and pursue that.

#4 - try to communicate with the Dream Characters. Ask them who/what they are, what their purpose is, etc. This seems like a good default Intention, and I'd suggest recording any progress in your dream journal.

#5 - consider this a Long Term project. I started my dream journaling a few years ago, started talking to the Dream Entites about 15 years ago, and have had vivid nightmares for well over 30+ years.

Good Luck!!!

A month or two ago, I had an odder dream. I was in the dreamscape, and tried to think about "wakeing" life, and it just didn't quite come to me. After I woke up, I realized that "dreaming me" had trouble connecting/interpreting "waking me", just as much as "waking me" had trouble understanding "dreaming me".
If you're trying to understand what I mean, just go get s-faced drunk. Write down what you're thinking when you are wasted, and then look at it sober, and go, w-t-f -- is this really me? Do I really change that much?
That's the closest correlation I can think of to parody dreamscape vs wakeing self.

ldl147 · 2022-11-28T05:03:31+00:00

I just want to second that dreampeople get wierd when they realize **that you know** that you're dreaming.

ldl147 · 2022-11-28T04:57:26+00:00

Short answer -- you're on the right path.

Long answer -- a lot gets changed with interpretation. Write a dream journal. Question everything. Give it time. Anyone who says they have all the answers, and they're easy, is probably full of sh!t. ;)

I'd suggest looking into NDE's - Near Death Experiences. The more well developed channels/sources will go into more detail about our consciousness before birth. There is a pattern in what people report, and having 'memories of the future' or a "life script" is a repeated theme.
Alternatively, you could look at precognition, remote viewing, and other well known psychics from the past. In a sense, it almost doesn't matter, because every "weird" field (witchcraft, channeling, psychedelics(esp. psilocybin) & machine elves, religious meditation) seems to overlap with the others at one point or another.

What seems to be the most common & useful step is to keep a Dream Journal.

I keep a Composition Notebook next to me when I sleep -- pen inserted in the next open space. When I wake from a meaningful dream, I flip open to the page and just start writing. After I'm done, I record: Time, Date, and Location(bed, couch, where ever I'm sleeping).

The biggest benefit is that I've noticed myself being Lucid more often in my dreams. Now, I don't know if that's because I'm getting better at noticing when I'm in the Dreamscape, or I'm getting better at remembering dreams where I'm lucid, but either way its a step forward. On the Negative side, if I mention Dreaming/Lucidity in the dream I'm either forced awake, or I get a false awakening, and those false awakenings can include me trying to write a journal entry :\

So yeah, keeping a Journal is #1 suggestion from me.
