I finally got some good text AI working! way easier than expected, too. before i was trying to use koboldAI and silly tavern and shit and it was an absolute ballache to set up only for it to not work in the end.
but i found this thing, HammerAI, that actually just flawlessly works. i'm amazed.

i'm sure you can do more with the aforementioned options, but this shit just works and it works well so i'm happy with it.

@Mr_NutterButter nah, i think all the stuff you've been doing for your world is pretty cool

@veru the "trans messaging" is something a lot of people seem to be extremely misinterpreting, for some reason. the "owo notices your bulge* is certainly not trans, it's furry, but every keeps saying it is trans for some reason.

@arc you love to see it

This video does give me a little bit of hope.

@veru Salt Lake County is much more liberal than the rest of the state because it is where the city is, but as far as cities go it is still far less liberal than many others in the country. We've also had a bit of a demographic shift with a lot of people moving from California over here, which has also been contributing to the ever-increasing housing costs.

From the information that we currently know, I don't think the shooter was a Republican or a conservative. Comes from a Republican family, and allegedly donated to the Trump campaign in 2020 when he was 17, but that's it. People forget 2020 was five years ago, plus he wasn't even an adult yet. 5 years is plenty of time for someone to change, or for someone to stop trying to hide their actual beliefs. Spoken as someone who also grew up Mormon and didn't leave the church until I was 19... I can completely see a 17 year old going along with their parents and community by any means necessary and then moving away from it in adulthood. Going from that to assassinating someone is insane, but it is indicative of the current state of affairs.

@irie I'm sorry but I really do not have any interest in discussing the Israeli aspect of this any further. It is wholly irrelevant to me.

@xianc78 Nepal is crazy, but it's pretty far detached from where we are. The COVID stuff is more interesting, as are the Epstein letters, but I think someone like Charlie Kirk of all people being assassinated and the reaction to it is way more culturally, immediately relevant.

People are saying that the shooter donated to the Trump campaign in 2020.

First of all, I voted for Trump in 2020 but did not in 2024. It's been five years, a lot can happen to a person for their mind to change in 5 years, certainly.

Second, if the shooter is now 22 then five years ago he would have been 17. Not even old enough to vote. That transition into adulthood is going to change a person as well.

Third, and I've been saying this since I knew about the assassination, it does not matter who the shooter is. It doesn't matter what their motive was. What matters, and why this shooting in particular is so impactful, is the reaction to it. It is so damning.
