And then the Mormons running things over corrected and hired Indians off Fiver to manually review your shit and neutered their model. Shame, had a blast with that CYOA stuff. Shout out to the time I thought I was playing a warlock who made a pact with demons for revenge only for the AI to decide to destroy my lair with a Space Marine drop pod for practicing heresy on an Agri-World.
Perhaps the biggest blessing and curse of those smaller models they were using from OpenAI was how susceptible to over-fitting they were when it came to Latitude training them on the CYOA text stories they swiped from ChooseYourStory. So you had the same names/characters popping up in totally unrelated stories and people in those communities posting about how baffled they were that this enigmatic Count Gray was continuously showing up to be a nuisance. It was surprisingly charming, in a way, almost like the stories really were part of some kind of shared setting. Nowadays, the large models and lack of overfitting helps prevent that, though you do have certain idioms and phrases that tend to show up repeatedly.

Another way of saying "bites" or "chews" really, which Claude also likes to substitute when throwing the line out. I like to imagine Anthropic threw a few too many trashy romance novels in there. Or perhaps they didn't throw enough in, hence the reuse of phrases.
I missed it too. It's the reason I joined the NAI team way back, long before they got into imagegen stuff. That was the stated goal, a new AI dungeon without Pajeet content filtering. Funny how despite being on the inside for over a year (from day one), I only grew less aware of that sphere; the community was too autistic for me and I gradually lost interest in AI, especially with the pivot into image gen. I left some time after that.
I was the one retard on the team who wanted Count Grey back in some capacity. I should've ignored them and written the feature myself. We all have our regrets
Not surprised in the slightest. I had the same experience with groups related to my old job. I got involved because I wanted more goofy game-like AI shenanigans, but it appeared I was in the minority. For me, the high point was Jerma trying out our service on stream, as far as that "side" of the project was concerned. I was disappointed it didn't go further than that.
Aww man, we could have had a man on the inside.
The first weeks were insane. Chief of all being an Irish Communist socially engineered takeover attempt, no exaggeration. Stressful in the moment, funny in retrospect. I might touch on that at a later time.
so what else is new?
It started with (D) and (R), then L, G, B, and T joined in
Fitting for the robot to move the AI thread. I for one welcome our new computer overlords
Can it write smut?
