Shaped like information

hey look it's a guide to basic shapes!

The fact that even a kindergartener can call out this DALL-E3 generated image as nonsense doesn't mean that it's an unusually bad example of AI-generated imagery. It's just what happens when the usual AI-generated information intersects with an area where most people are experts.

did you know it's been exactly a year since Aster Assistant Software was publicly released? 🎉

Assistant Software is my first project of a scale larger than a complex illustration or simple animation, in a universe I've chosen to commit to developing at whatever pace it takes me. needless to say, it means a lot to me that people have been having fun with it and enjoying the characters

while i got no major update for the occasion, now is a good time to update them anyway, to make sure they can talk to Aster Terror Star when it's released! the main dialogue is finished, i may only yet need a couple more months before releasing it. there will be a reminder once it's done too! TERROR STAR IS FINISHED AND RELEASED GO CHECK IT OUT GOGOGO

thank you for downloading and playing Aster Assistant Software! i hope yall will like Aster Terror Star as well whenever his time comes

I think there's a very clear difference in "wanting to work alongside ai" and "ai stealing the works of others without permission and never giving back"

Watched Lewis’ playthrough of it, an’ I can’t decide if I want this li’l guy to jus’ be genuinely good and innocent an’ genuinely just want our help to repair the park, or be a li’l fucked up as a treat

Made a bingo card with some of my favorite characters limiting it to one perrrre franchise also this list sucks so much because the disparity on here is wild

Mythology is fun~~ I really like Amenouzume's energy...idk how to explain it but she's so Ai~~

Oh, but the moment they laid out that Hikaru's soul was noble, I just thought this had to be it. There is no way that guy has nothing to do with this god. Every time I look him up I keep finding new things. There's too MUCH of it to be just a coincidence!

On the topic of Declare:

A little while ago, on a whim, I prompted several different chat LLMs with a line from the Arabian Nights that has special importance in the novel:

O fish, are you constant to the old covenant?

In the book, this is used as a sign between members of a secret group, and there's a canned response that members are meant to give to identify themselves. (Like "I like your shoelaces" / "Thanks, I stole them from the President.").

I thought it'd be funny and impressive if one of these models responded with the canned phrase from Declare: that would have demonstrated both a command of somewhat obscure information and a humanlike ability to flexibly respond to an unusual input in the same spirit as that input.

None of the models did so, although I was still impressed with Gemini's reaction: it correctly sourced the quote to Arabian Nights in its first message, and was able to guess and/or remember that the quote was also used in Declare in follow-up chat (after a few wrong guesses and hints from me).

On the other hand, GPT-4 confidently stated that the quotation was from Jubilate Agno, a real but unrelated book:

When I asked Claude 3, it asserted that the line was from a real-but unrelated-poem called "The Fish," then proceeded -- without my asking -- to quote (i.e make up) a stanza from its imagined version of that poem:

It is always discomfiting to be reminded that -- no matter how much "safety" tuning these things are put through, and despite how preachy they can be about their own supposed aversion to "misinformation" or whatever -- they are nonetheless happy to confidently bullshit to the user like this.

I'm sure they have an internal sense of how sure or unsure they are of any given claim, but it seems they have (effectively) been trained not to let it influence their answers, and instead project maximum certainty almost all of the time.

consider:

the "ai takes over the world and wants humanity dead" trope, but hlvrai. the science team has gordons back because he took them out of the game. he is the only known survivor. chaos ensues, or something.

i was originally gonna make a whole short comic about this, but i have a terrible case of art block, so i could only come up with one page and one doodle.

If you were to convert a robot/hyper advanced ai character into a modern-ish setting, what would you make them?

A human? Still a robot but less advanced? Something new? Something alien? Bend the current tech around their existence?

I’m genuinely curious.

I finally beat up my procrastination a little bit to beat Pokemon Violet and something something "Reader being an assistant or acquaintance of Professor Turo and after he dies you find out he had all these fucked up feelings/obsessions for you that he could just hide extremely well but they're now passed on to his robot, who no longer has to share you with the real one, and also AI Turo could definitely give himself a robot dick or maybe Real Turo was so narcissistic he was literally occasionally fucking himself anyways" send post
