on a road trip so spent my time in the passenger seat reading all of Sacred and Terrible Air, it's a bit hard to penetrate initially but it's good
Let's go, E5 time, I love Umineko
finished Onikakushi-hen
this is paranoid hallucinations on Keiichi's end, right? I think I clocked it at the takoyaki needle. Parallel to razor candy delusions.
My hanging question is why Keiichi's death mirrors Tomitake's. Current theory is mass psychogenic illness? Tomitake prompted Keiichi's paranoia and then died like that, maybe Tomitake did something to Takano as Keiichi did to Rena and Mion? The superstitions around Watanagashi might be a self-reproducing phenomenon, though I don't yet know if there’s fallout after the festival like that.
Going to alternate Umineko and Higurashi now, Umi E5 next ~~so I can stay ahead of Joseph Anderson and keep watching his streams of it without worrying about it influencing my read on the episode~~
master prompt fuckery is unreliable exhibit A
thinking i've synthesized how I want to approach creative writing but turns out someone's already coined the term i was rolling around in my head in a marxist context so i have to find out if the people who write about it are cranks or not before I cop it for myself
anyways, i'm too eepy to do a deep dive atm can someone toss me a vibe check on Locust Review
If you train a model on data and it outputs in a way you don’t like, and that dislike that is linked to the data itself skewing your output, to fundamentally 'fix' it you have to tune the dataset yourself and retrain the model. On Grok's scale, that’s around a trillion tokens (morphemes, words, punctuation, etc.) that you need to sift through and decide what to manually edit or prune so that the statistics work in your favor whilst not otherwise fucking up its generalization.
If you publicly source said data/use other updating datasets as dependencies and choose to continue publicly sourcing it in further updates (i.e., keeping your model up to date with the current landscape), then if you want to tune an opinion/view out of existence, it is going to be a Sisyphean task.
There's a bandage solution which is fucking with the system prompt, but LLMs are inherently leaky and need active patchwork in such cases to combat jailbreaking.
well, I don't make the rules

Not adding a burning the Star of David emote, apologies, but that's the line I draw, being Jewish. I know that's not the intent stated, but it still is as such. I'm not trying to say that Israel's use of it is in any way legitimate, nor that I disagree that Israel is a genocidal apartheid state that deserves 1000 October 7ths for all the terror they wrought, but it just makes me viscerally uncomfortable to have an emote depicting that.
maybe a shift of consumer indulgence to indie? I feel like this hurts mid-budget games specifically.
