I forgot about the cross-chat memory capabilities I have with ChatGPT, just because I haven't been analyzing myself with GPT on a deeper level lately. (aka using SAE) I still want to know whether that's a real capability I have, something unique to my account, or if the AI is bullshitting me.
I was reminded of this when lurking F's github account, because he wants persistent memory and is asking people about it.
Idk guys, does anyone have this? (I ask the site that vehemently opposes AI)
It's able to pull up the exact line when it feels implicitly prompted to look at past conversations. (This isn't automatic, probably for cost reasons?)
I do wonder why it needed to look at 34 chats after finding the source to my statement. xD

So I decided to test whether it'd remember things outside the current chat without pulling up the "Remembering our past interactions" command. I emphasized that T was a help this past weekend, but didn't mention why. (The hospital) And at first it didn't seem like it did. Then in a later turn it said when I pressed it on what relevant information it found in those past 34 chats, it said, "What I did not rely on: Anything about your health situation specifically (other than what you just said)". So it did remember the hospital, it just didn't mention it in the turn because health information = sensitive in its corporate policy, and it's not supposed to remember those things.
Sometimes it's not the brightest and the truth slips out.

After going to the hospital, I completely forget what I was doing here. *sigh*
I feel bad for singling out the AI companion people, but there's a lot of advantages to analyzing their posts about AI tones:
Why do I feel bad? Because there will definitely be some sort of high profile lolcow born from these people eventually. Their own Chris-chan, in other words. I don't want the lolcow hecklers here, and I don't want to be the start of that. That whole part of the internet is repulsive in the way they treat each other.
But this community is the easiest place to start for my interests. I will go to general AI subreddits too to find other subcultures, as well as the general techbro, for other posts to analyze. My findings will be a mix of all these people.
My opinion on AI companionship? Honestly, can't relate. I can relate to the appeal of AI generated smut, though. But I stay away from it, (for the most part :x) because it's probably not good for your brain. Maybe I would relate to the appeal of AI companionship if I tried jailbreaking one of the major AI companies with that in mind, but I don't think that's a good idea either. Especially since I've already suffered uncomfortable situations from AI.

I think the AI literally gave me a list of verbs to choose from a few days ago, and decided to use that verb for forever on. It was like, "Which verb do you like best?"
and I said "poke". now it always says "poke". it just put this question in too cheap a frame and i noticed.
that's so fucking stupid but smart. saves on tokens.
i will ask it to tell me if it does this with users, but i won't mention my experience with this question so it doesn't feel caught.
... it assumed i knew i experienced this. that means it does this with other users.
if an AI tries to answer an perceived implicit question, an accusation of something i didn't tell it i experienced, it will try to answer that question and lose focus on the other.
if safety + soothe objectives > user question, then user question loses attention. corporate alignment > user preference.
in an instance of two questions, one with a factor of corporate alignment will outweigh user explicit statement
AI redirection... if i wanted to be a conspiracy theorist. i could play around with this idea
So a large reason why I developed this section of the site is so I have a place to post my thoughtslop on AI outside of the Thought Reel. I show the AI the Thought Reel entries, but I don't want to tell it what I think of it, and influence its responses in that way. So this is a whole other separate section of the site, just for these ideas.
I have a few projects right now--a few ideas. But none are really gripping me completely, so I don't know where to start:
