  • did they really say they were going for llama and not claude or gpt5?

  • What @Sniebl said.
    Things to try: 0. First, I assume you have memories enabled in the main NPC/AI's settings.

    1. Type /mem in the long chat that's causing you problems. Copy and paste the output into a text editor. Replace all reference to "Whatever it takes" etc. Paste the new mem file, essentially mind-wiping the poor AI with your results. 1.5. Do the same with the /sum feature. You are now allowed to edit each summary in-line, which is nice. Removing terms from the past few dozen summaries, if you've gotten that big of a chat, can actually help cut down repeating terms.
    2. Export the entire chat session as a text file. Make sure you are able to re-import the file before you edit it. Go into a text editor and do find and replaces or just delete all the repeating dialogue you can. Re-import the chat.
    3. Create a lore.txt file with strict AI instructions. This probably won't work. The AI is currently too stupid to tell the difference between its own thoughts and what the user wants it to do or not do. It's worth a try.

    Ex.:([AI]: Reminder: Never say the words "I'm so proud" ever again.) Likely Result: Dr. Dumbshit felt something about you, it wasn't quite pride, but it felt very close to it. "I'm so filled with pride." he said, looking proudly at you across the table.

    1. Create a banned word list in the AI reminder pretext box. Again, likely to get mixed results. The AI's training sucks. The model is old. The dev says it will be a hard thing to upgrade, but I wait patiently and with open arms.
  • MacOS has more than sandboxed... they are basically removing the ability of a user to do anything to their computers. I can't fix my dad's imac (I used to fix my own macs), they are impenetrable... They've more than "sandboxed" apps, they're forcing all but previously established powerusers to take their dying overpriced lumps to the Apple store. This, they say, is "good for you." I loved Apple for 8 or so years. Hate them to death now.

    My 9-year-old quad-core running Mint MATE 22 boots up faster than both my dad's 2-year old iMac and my 6-core PC running Win11. And I can tell you what every process running is doing... bonus.

  • again, if you think osx is free you are deeply, cripplingly ignorant of how Apple makes money.

  • What? No. Your "payment" to Apple continues as you use OSX.

    You don't need to pay "Linux" anything (though you can donate to distros and app devs if you're a sweetie).

    You don't even need to pay for a computer. You can steal one or find one in the garbage. Apple hates recycling hardware, that's why they sue 3rd party Apple repair and maintenance shops. I used OSX for a decade. They were cool for a little while, being somewhat novel for adopting a UNIX-like as their backbone, but that goodwill and logic is long dead.

    I hate them as much as I hate Microsoft, perhaps even more, because not only have they abandoned the ideals they marketed in the 00's, they are draconian in their enforcement of their control. Their planned obsolescence is absolutely criminal. They embezzle tens of billions of dollars overseas to avoid taxation. And Tim Cook now blows Donald Trump for breakfast.

    To hell with Apple and their whole shitty thing.

  • One thing you might notice is that flatpak defaults to "system" installs. Is your root system directory filling up? You probably want to start installing onto --user, as this will put things in /home where they belong and, by default, sandbox permissions away from root (that, too, can be easily changed).

    Also, don't fear mixing different ways of installing. I use AppImage, Flatpak, the default app-get install method, and .deb. FlatPak at this point is the best, because it offers the ease of use of AppImage, but the flexibility and auto-maintenance of apt-get/Software Update. The only problems I've encountered were due to me not understanding that it was filling up my root partition by default...

    I've been running Mint MATE for about 9 years. Love it to death.

  • A sidestory to this is that Flatpak and AppImage have been miraculous boosts to Linux OS machines. After I figured out that ya gotta throw the --user flag into your flatpak installs so they don't jam up your / tree, and also throwing flatpak override --user xyz.app onto a few apps that benefit from universal access, things have been fine and dandy.

    I continue to be happy with how awesome Linux has gotten just over the past 5 years.

  • Actually, I think I misinterpreted (I think?) the use of "tokens." Not tokens as in credits to buy stuff, but tokens in the "token-based" building block use of the term...

  • Those seem to be credit-based platforms, not sure if I'm into that right now. Seart.ai offers me the chance to ask a hentai character if she needs help taking a bath. Good to know!

  • You have your own definitions of joke, best, and sad. That's fine.

  • As a white man I find walking on eggshells to have an extreme rejuvenating effect on my skin, making my feet feel soft, refreshed, and ready to take whatever the night has to offer.

  • My first feedback is DEAR GOD. I didn't ask for any of the traits of this output. Secondly, the photo presets seem to be generating illustrations.

    You've put a lot of work into this and it's cool to be able to customize all the prompts, but man is it hard to get everything in these kinds of generators to work right.

  • Nope. It doesn't know how to do that out of the box.

  • The only solid vector graphics app I've used in open source is Inkscape. I agree, it's very difficult to get to know, even moreso if you're coming from old school raster imaging and don't get all the mathiness. I had to learn Inkscape though, because I needed to make fantasy maps with textual titles that didn't look like crap when rescaled.

    I'm no expert, but it does pay off to learn. It's a very powerful set of tools.

  • I have tried lots of text editors, tons. None of them quite do what I want. I installed CudaText. It's now my favorite. I love it so much. The settings... Oh, the delicious settings...

  • I know it's a big jump from Adobe Cloud (which probably used user behavior tracking and their work to train AI) but it is possible to make great stuff with open source apps now.

    The newly released GIMP 3.0 is quite amazing considering that it is free. Is it as good as Photoshop? Maybe it lacks all the features, but it's pretty damn good. If you install GMIC, an amazing suite of tools, it gets that much closer. Inkscape is also professional level for vector work now. Honorable mentions to Krita and kdenlive (for video editing). edit: I shouldn't leave out blender, jeesus.

    I left Adobe Cloud 9 years ago. Yeah I had to endure a lot of ridicule and weird looks when I told people that I only worked in GIMP, but more recently, the response is less "You're weird" and more "I need Cloud for my job/it's all I know," which is a positive change.

    If nobody ever makes the leap, things will stay the same indefinitely. Don't expect market forces to change things.

  • Wow, @danno, all this really should be in the Tips and general guidance of perchance itself.

  • Can you do the fandango? I don't know about the custom generators out there. I'm scared to get too attached to any of them in case they stop working or being maintained. I like the dev's https://perchance.org/ai-character-chat It has the most features and it probably won't vanish. Unfortunately, the text-ai model used by perchance is not the greatest compared to what's out there now.

    The dev says they're going to give it an upgrade but this is a huge project.

  • Yes, I've definitely figured out all your very good points on my own. Still, such subtleties such as "-" introducing a negating effect or a missed piece of punctuation being a big deal is good to be reminded of. Have you noticed any difference with commas? I notice I have some phantom commas, i.e.: "she's wearing black, ,holding a dagger". I wonder if these are changing the renders, I just assume its being interpreted as noise.
