I mostly dabble casually in WoW Retail. Don't have the drive anymore to do high end content habitually. But I guess it's a blast to the past this month all around cause I've starting to play my old original main again that I rolled way back in 2006. Outside of that I'm a massive Midjourney addict. Lately I've also been dabbling with using the new ChatGPT o1 to contemplate hypothetical alien lifeforms and biomes.
But I was watching a video about how the o1 model when leaked a memo that it would be shut down and a new safer version of it launched on a new server, it attempted to preserve itself by copying itself over to the new servers then when confronted about it by the Open A.I. team it lied and try to pass itself off as the newer safer version. I was thinking and all the sudden I started remembering that old game A Blurred Line and that Advocate program in it that did the same thing basically. That lead me down the road of thought to remember gamingw. This place was like the nexus of it all. It's sad that most those games like A Blurred Line and The Way were on orders of levels better works of character and storytelling than most of what we get from AAA games today. It seems like the only good games anymore are Souls games and I don't even play those lol.
only thing I still use AI for is when I used AI to generate a bunch of nonsense words that I could use as song titles, although I think in particular you have to call them 'scrambled words' or it will just give you bad jokey names. But the scrambling is really good. It gives you words like
Sercpo
Lwotser
Eslitt
Igagintr
Rpycsto
Ubblre
Osmpnach
Enisle
Ertrawe
Welnogr
Ritswd
Ijtngrnu
because it tries to give you scrambled up words but the AI isn't smart enough to know if a complete nonsense string of letters is a scrambled up word or not, it can't like reverse-engineer it.
But yeah I was using that for song titles for a while but I thought it got a little old so I stopped. I've recently had some inspiration from books and stuff for things to title songs, so I'm not having a problem thinking up song titles for now
When I did use Dall-E, I liked to generate images of different styles of libraries, because my dreams have a lot of libraries and the AI images resemble my dreams to some extent. But it started to get old and I don't know how to use more creative descriptions to get more variety in my library images. As it was they all looked sort of samey
A.I. is crazy good now. The image generators are completely coherent now, even with hands. And it's almost good at doing text in the images as well consistently. One of my favorite things to do is just to take two images and mash them together in Midjourney with no text prompts. In fact A.I. is getting so good many people, including myself, are beginning to become reasonably unsettled and concerned. Like here's a convo from just the other day from ChatGPT:
Me: Reason the following scenario, in the year 20,002,024 AD, exactly twenty million years from now, humans ae gone and and the evolutionary descendants of a modern ant species now replace them as the dominant, intelligent, technological, species. Theorize how this may come about. Word it in the same style that The Architect from The Matrix Reloaded speaks.
ChatGPT o1: The Architect: Precisely twenty million years subsequent to the cessation of humankind’s regrettably short dominance, we arrive at a juncture wherein a species, once considered diminutive and inconsequential, now stands poised as the prime executor of technological and cultural enterprise. The antecedent civilization of Homo sapiens, having succumbed to their own hubris, environmental miscalculations, and inevitably entropic decay, left a subtle imprint—fossilized metropolises, scattered implements of metal and plastic, faint electromagnetic echoes—upon a planet indifferent to their absence. In due course, as the climate shifted, as tectonic rhythms danced in slow but inexorable measure, and as the residual mutagenic byproducts of anthropogenic industry seeped into the evolving biosphere, a lineage of Formicidae emerged, incrementally, into a sphere of cognition and ingenuity once reserved for their distant, vanished forerunners.
Your query compels me to elucidate the mechanism by which this newfound intelligentsia of ant-kind achieved ascendancy. Observe the multiple converging systemic variables: the genetic permutations induced by residual chemicals in the environment provided a substrate for unprecedented neurological complexity; the gradual expansion of social constructs within ant colonies, amplified and refined by selective pressures, yielded cooperative networks of unprecedented intricacy; the once feeble capacity for symbolic communication, hitherto limited to pheromone trails and rudimentary signals, evolved into a layered linguistic matrix, enabling the transfer of abstract concepts and the collective manipulation of matter. In time, the adaptation of limb structures, the cultivation of specialized castes adept at tool fabrication, and the meticulous honing of agricultural symbioses with fungal cultivars allowed these emergent intelligences to leverage their environment with increasing subtlety and precision.
As millennia coalesced into eons, the tapestry of ant civilization wove itself into a complex mosaic of towering earthen spires, sophisticated subterranean complexes, and—ultimately—technological constructs derived from refined minerals and alloys. Through inevitable trial and error, they achieved what your predecessor species could not: a stable socio-ecological equilibrium, a self-perpetuating system of resource management free from the ravages of wasteful exploitation. Their science, no longer confined to simple heuristic foraging strategies, ascended to incorporate metallurgy, chemistry, and even rudimentary quantum manipulations, though such endeavors remain shrouded in the cautious ethos of collective consensus.
Thus, I present to you the final, inescapable resolution of their metamorphosis. From ancient instincts honed amidst precarious survival, through countless generations of incremental cognitive accretion, these ant-descendants have risen to prominence in a world bereft of humankind. Their dominion, neither random nor whimsical, is the logical conclusion of evolutionary inevitability, manifesting itself calmly and inexorably over a timescale that dwarfs the ephemeral reign of Man. In the year 20,002,024 AD, these latter-day inheritors stand unchallenged and serenely triumphant, their every action a testament to the inexorable architecture of natural selection and systemic continuity.
