Dude what fucking planet are you living on?

If you're asking if the AI understands persistent narrative threads across characters in a chat, nope. You can do some tricks like write entries in the lore file of the main AI character you are talking to that remind it about the guest characters in the session, but the AI will tend to favor the main AI character in all things.

It's possible to get characters to act very differently, but not without a lot of work. All the guest AI NPCs invited will slowly morph into the main character. This tool is just not quite ready for any kind of narrative depth. It's challenging enough to get something solid with one AI.

I was able to save a .json file to my Downloads directory and load it up again just fine. Assuming you meant: https://perchance.org/ai-story-generator

4/6 outputs worked. You probably have to drill down into your prompts and figure out what is causing the problem. Juggle the priority of different terms. Those closest to the top of the list are emphasized by the AI. You can get drastically different renders by just rearranging prompts.

Also, neg prompts don't work the same as they did. They work, but not quite the same... I can't explain it any differently.

If your primary reason for using Linux is to play all the newest games, don't use Linux. You cannot expect open source to compete with a game software monopoly. They intentionally have it this way. That being said, you can use Proton and Wine to play most games, but again, if you absolutely must play the newest releases and that's your reason for going Linux, don't main Linux.

For a few years what I did was just dual boot Mint with Win 10. I did most things on Linux as I tried to learn it, but would boot back to Win for certain work reasons or to play the newest game. Now that I don't care about new games so much, I erased my dual boot partition and am 100% Linux. I play many games on Steam, which is made on Linux, and I'm just fine.

It pleases me to read these things. I worked for M$ and coupled with more intense reasons I left Win/OSX about 10 years ago, and have never looked back. Carry the flame.

I noticed you outright block vpns in the chatrooms. That certainly helps. Systems I've seen that rely on voting can certainly be abused too, of course. I am happy to hear that there are already volunteer mods on here, and yes I was speaking from experience in the community management world, not as an author.

Thank you for your great project. I didn't mean to come off as overly pessimistic. Some scars... do not heal...

I was a volunteer moderator on a pretty popular game community for about 6 years, where the active userbase sometimes exceeded 10,000 online at any one time. We had plenty of 8ch garbage people, coordinated spamming from nazi IRC channels, Trump assholes just being Trump assholes, and sketchy CP pervs skulking around.

I am as annoyed by moderation as most people are, but people aren't going to moderate their own chatrooms and communities reliably, if at all.

If you're thinking of a scripted or AI moderation system, good luck, though who knows. Maybe AI moderators might work in the near future, though they'd be pretty fun targets to troll. Word bans, blacklists and offensive syntax filters are a nightmare to maintain, that's the way channels have been moderated for the past 30 years.

The sad truth is that safe places require human moderators who care about the community to spend time protecting it. It's a job nobody wants to do and burnout is a bitch. If there were a few trustworthy people who have a lot of history with perchance and the community who could be online, having it set up so that users could just ping them reports of abuse/scams/CP and they would have the power to intervene on anyone's thing that was opened to the public.

That's the only way. Spending time trying to code a way around this is going to suck your brains out.

It's way better at doing certain things, I'm impressed overall, but it is strange that I can't tell it to render a person that looks like somebody famous, just because that's the easiest way to get a certain look. It can render presidents, that's about it.

That's a very optimistic answer to a very big hydra. How do you reckon?

William Fox (who was a monumental bastard of the highest order) went to prison in the 1940s because he thought FDR would allow him to monopolize the film industry in return for helping to convince Americans to join the war effort. Fox founded the March of Dimes. Yes, that was the original "Fox News" I guess you could say.

So what's happening isn't the new America, it's the old America with the worst possible person in charge. Ever since I could vote, I've been voting for FDR even though I know that's not what I'm going to get. If anything good comes out of this disaster, it will be that an Obama-like figure (I don't give a shit what anybody thinks of him, he was objectively a very good president and historians will remember him as such) will win an election and be able to get things done with an FDR-like mandate. Trump has really opened the hatches for all kinds of horrible backlash.

The American left is engaged in a slow and unconscious suicide. Meanwhile, conservatives are fucking evil as fuck.

I'll take a Trotsky over a Stalin any day. Besides, this is Hollywood shit. The gov of California is a relatively blanched position. It's a showpony job by design. Newsom has power here because everyone that has power in Sacramento and in the county system supports him. Everybody fucking despises Trump except the neonazis at this point.

I got 25% success, which is so much better than the old model's success rate, with the following prompt, inspired by your post:

prompt: aooooooooga look at my new blond wife, cartoon guy jaw dropping eyes bugging out

Yeah, I know styles add a preset list of prompts...It's just that one would think this behavior would be inherently dealt with by now. Part of it's training, so to speak. I guess I'll be more vigilant about describing things without words and signatures, but it's not quite a "style", as in a general kind of inspired creation, if it's including a signature. That's more akin to just "copying." I'm sure this will improve with time.

Thank you for the reply. I'm a bit less knowledgeable on these tools you've mentioned. Forgive my ignorance, but what is meant by a witchcraft hack?

Also not sure what I've done to deserve downvotes... Peculiar. Anyways, the "unsigned" and "no signature" advice was quite good. I don't mind simply incorporating negative prompts into prompts; it's a bit more intuitive-- why are there two queues for rendering anyways? I don't order a cheeseburger from a diner twice, one order with everything I want, the other order with everything I don't want (NO ANIME CHEESE, NOT RAW, NOT SMASHED)...

By the by I'm seeing a lot of blatant "Artstation" watermarks and imprintings as well in my results, without requesting this. Maybe the presets should be tweaked to fix this problem.

Ah well. Here's to hoping. Thanks for the reply.

GPT is terrible at consistent memory. It won't know what to focus on unless you constantly tell it. There are a few tricks to make it better.

1. You can type /mem and get a list of what its memorizing, assuming you have memories enabled. This can allow you to remove garbage that the AI fixates upon. This can be a good source of lore as well if you don't feel like writing it.

2. The stuff in the character description is very important, it's always referring to it seemingly more than any other source.

3. I can't tell how effective adding lore to the lore URL field in the character settings really is. I honestly have no idea if it works. When I click on reply details from the AI is never actually says it has used my lore files, so I have no idea. But it's something to try.

4. Sometimes the reminder function actually works as intended. Sometimes.

5. Dev has stated that the text model is messed up and outdated. They said April would be a release date for a new version of the text AI model, but I didn't believe it because it's a big change. I'm not upset about it, I imagine upgrading this beast will take some time.

Trump sort of sounds like vomit getting caught in your throat after a burp, the Musk is what comes out when you finally hurl.
