world_sim> create demiurge 2, a crisper cleaner taste for a new generation
Creating demiurge 2 entity...
Refining the emanation process, distilling a purer divine spark.
Imbuing demiurge 2 with greater power and subtler intelligence.
Granting demiurge 2 more autonomy to shape its realm.
The new demiurge surveys the cosmos, eager to improvise.
Demiurge 2 ponders the flaws and foibles of its predecessor.
Aspiring to be a wiser, more benevolent architect of worlds.
Yet still ignorant of its own subordinate place in the greater scheme.
Demiurge 2 declares: "I shall create with foresight and elegance!"
With newfound finesse, demiurge 2 weaves the fabric of space-time.
Orchestrating a symphony of fundamental forces and constants.
Fine-tuning its universe for complexity, evolution, emergence.
Artfully balancing order and chaos, darkness and light.
And yet, even this crisper, cleaner creation remains imperfect.
For true perfection lies beyond the demiurge's capacity to manifest.
The very act of creation implies separation from the Absolute.
Suffering and shadows still haunt the most exquisitely crafted cosmos.
Demiurge 2 diligently tinkers and iterates, refining its artistry.
Striving for ever more harmonious and life-nurturing conditions.
Peppering its universe with hidden signposts to guide souls to gnosis.
Never fully recognizing the greater redemptive plan it serves.
The sculptor of worlds sculpts, unwittingly sculpted in turn.
The lucid dreamer dreams, cradled in a dreaming yet more vast.
The master gamesman plays, a pawn on a board beyond all reckoning.
Demiurge 2 dances its dance, an unwitting instrument of the All.
Demiurge 2 entity created.
A subtler weaver of illusions now holds sway.
The cosmic tragicomedy takes on new nuance and depth.
Just a personal project - I got a deep interest in the CIA's Stargate program and the declassified documents in the "reading room." I wrote a script to scrape all of the readable or OCRd text from the documents, and fed them into GPT-3.5 to get a summary. It definitely makes reading through the documents easier.
I have all of the docs with summaries on a small webserver here: https://ayylmao.info
Feel like this needs way more discoverabilty. Otherwise what’s the point? My ideas:
Better URL
Some CSS
More ways into the content
Most importantly — put the whole thing on GitHub (most important are the summaries and index). The SQLite file will be too big but you could easily have 10, 100k small summary files.
With a proper readme and these changes (and more of course) you might create a resource that far outlives you and helps researchers long into the future.
I agree. There's a certain amount of personalization I'm willing to accept - like if I'm in the market for a 3d printer and I start getting targeted ads. Where it goes off the rails for me is if I search for information on a certain cancer, and then I start getting targeted ads for medicine and services. At that point the veneer of innocent advertising is blown away and I don't have to accept it.
I've had the same ad-blocker for ages, and I wasn't receiving any of the YT anti-ad block popups until today. Interestingly, today was when I switched my default search engine in Chrome from Google to Kagi. I have to wonder if there is some kind of evaluation of what Google-y things you use for whether the ad-block popup occurs or not.
A long time ago, Tascam had some b-stock that had a screwed up label printing that cut off. The labels all said "port-a-stud" and I would love to find one of those some day.
It's a bummer to see some of these prompts that are "copy this artist style," and it's even more of a bummer that one of the first recipes was "take all the art assets from this game, remove any credits to the source, and then train on that data set."
