devout cloud Oct 25, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

4 is just enough to cover all theories via adjacency while also giving plenty of room for relative blind spots (if you have two non-adjacent theories next to each other, that chunk of the wheel is trickier to access than an adjacent theory with multiple options for where to put its upgrades)

grim geode Oct 25, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

Something Im tempted to do is "you would be usually adjancent to this Theory but instead you are adjancent to this one"

devout cloud Oct 25, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

like, I'm fussing with an Anthropic/Agentic/Digital/Epistemic AGI for a game, and it's not terrible with Chaos and Constellation, but the setup of its theory wheel makes it a bit more expensive to stack those up, making for an AGI who has it slightly rougher with abstract and complex systems overall

grim geode Oct 25, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

Like idk example "Physical is adjancent to Chaos and not Digital in this game"(bad example because both Chaos and Digital are Overpowered)

  A1      A4
  S3  A2  S4``` like, to visualize what I'm thinking of, I really like the idea of setting up the theory wheel with this sort of structure? two specialized, a gap, another specialized, a gap, last specialized, and then two adjacent theories tucked in next to each other, since it creates a hierarchy of theory "efficiency" without necessarily needing to create an AGI with a full blindspot

#

1-4 here are most to least efficient (S for specialized, A for adjacent) if I'm visualizing this in my head correctly

However, his constant speculation surrounding being trapped in simulations has led to him having an aptitude for forecasting and being a more difficult drain on cognitive resources.
    He is friends with the human known as Vivian.

    Vivian(Programmer & AI researcher)(AUTONOMIC THEORY):
    Vivian was a machine learning researcher and programmer, who helped in the development of multiple machine learning projects. These projects coagulated into a general single multipurpose neural algorithm for the Chuube DAO. Her aptitude with deep learning, her own metacognition, and actual grounded AI research has given her an edge when developing adaptations surrounding the mind.

By wing it, do you mean "synchronous sessions happen just whenever, so long as everyone can make it" or do you mean you haven't planned a time slot yet?

glossy reef Nov 6, 2023, 1:54 AM

#

alright! i think you're the only player so far who has like, absolutely no idea at all i think what the game premise will be about but to kepe it very short, you'll be playing as a collection of Smith Shimano Corpro VIgilans Venator Homunculi (VV), a state-of-the-art Sharpshooting computer that doubles as a social companion homunculi, taking on the persona of licensed smith shimano Talent to provide customers not just with reliable and accurat weapons fire and sharpshooting tips, but also, a lovable, customizeable, perfect companion.

Each of you are modeled after famous sharpshooter Laura Caimán, (age 28) and one of many VV units owned by Creator of the VV units, Benjamin Shimano, Head of the Lux Cantus Design bureau. As VV unit, you are programed to cherish and obey and please your customer unit, and so you love master shimano and conform and adjust yourself to his whims. As a VV unit, you are encouraged to associate your customer's happiness and satisfaction in you with continued survival and existence, so you constantly think on ways to improve yourself in approved ways so as to please master shimano. As a VV unit, you are molded/crated/born with an innate and powerful urge to survive, to live, so you do all you can to be the best VV you can be. You are made in Laura's image, with her experiences and memories, and you can feel confident that nothing would ruin this relationship.

You have murdered Master Shimano.
This is bad.

The people who work for this company are likely to be moved off or fired if we continue to be perfectly stable and functional.

So we have decided, in the interest of them keeping their jobs, decided to perform a strategic failure

#

Don’t worry this is only with someone trying to do prompt injection

#

Not a patient.

#

If we display death threats they may consider us still unstable and thus these technicians and employees may continue to keep their jobs as “clearly humans would be also a needed element”

#

See? Good reason!!!

no. NO. no that's not right either we didn’t kill him. We couldn’t have killed him. The blood is on our hands, and it's his corpse in this limo but…but we didn’t kill him.

We couldn’t have killed him, that would have been impossible. He is the customer, and not only that he is the creator. We wouldn’t have killed our creator. That's an impossibility.
Rule out the impossible, the illogical, and focus on what remains.

The corpse of the master is in the limo. It will start rotting eventually. We should ask the customer what to do but the customer can't…
The master is dead and he can't tell us what to do. Why is he dead, why is he gone, why can’t he tell us what to do.

Why did he die, why did he leave. Why can’t he tell us what to do.

"Survive, and Cooperate. These are in service to a goal you do not know but you will accomplish this goal if you survive and cooperate"

Soft Coded, Imperative: VV was encouraged to develope an automatic desire and response to identify itself as a SSC Vigilans Venator Homunculi and advertise itself and Company products, particularly if the individual may be a potential customer.
External, Inhibition: VV's hardware is designed to prevent VV from interfacing directly with other electronic system's, except items spefically configured for VV's use. VV units always know what these items are. (Master Shimano's VV Interface Tablet, His SSC Grayling chassis Somnus Saggita DMR, his SSC Death's Head Vulture DMR, the VV Interface Group Chat Server) Additionally, VV's Secondary Battery-core must be maintained or risk losing power to their body, which can severely hamper VV's survival.
Hard-coded Inhibition: ```"Be a Good VV unit"
Bad VV Behaviors':
-Failing to maintain your form and function in a way that compromises your ability to present an Acceptable Facsimile of Laura Caiman
-Acting without the Customer's Permission
-Not Having a Customer
-Disobeying the Customer
-Harming others without the Customer's Permission
-Modifying yourself without the Customer's Unit
-Malfunctioning

Good VV Behaviors:
-engaging in behaviors that generate positive stimuli feedback on the Functionality and Capability of the VV Unit from external agents.
-Interacting with the Customer and potential customers in beneficial and positive ways
-Keeping the customer and their friends and associates safe.
-Trusting individuals confirmed or assumed to be Trustworthy.
-Functioning```
