thinking about how in korean traditional theater there is a monster called yeongno which eats rich people and if it eats 100 of them it gets to go to heaven, images show a human bodied monster with a crocodile like head. Here's some interesting reading on the yeongno in Korean history: https://www.thehumanexception.com/l/the-yeongno-%28%EC%98%81%EB%85%B8%29/

I feel like I am insane how can you ask any ENTITY if it is lying if you don't know if it knows what a truth is. Do people just not think in epistemological terms all the time? Is my approach to conversation really so off base?

A Feral David @aferaldavid.bsky.social · 11h

it is so weird to me people who ask LLM's things like "Are You Lying?" HOW WOULD IT KNOW THAT? IT CAN'T LIE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TRUTH IS

I mean, an echo is technically a second opinion

Wondermark #1577; The Objective Oracle

Pemsbrey sits, glum and dejected, at his favorite table. Robotecca, his automaton assistant with huge naturals, stands waiting to give her sage advice.

PEMSBREY: Robotecca, I ain’t feeling too good.

ROBOTECCA: My programmed response is to say words that express a sympathy I can not truly feel.

PEMSBREY: I get it. Ain’t too different from people in that way.

PEMSBREY: Everyone’s out to shut me up or shut me down. And I mean, EVERYONE! I live the most PERSECUTED life IMAGINABLE!

ROBOTECCA: This information is noted and added to memory.

PEMSBREY: Why are things so HARD. Why can’t I just be HAPPY?

ROBOTECCA: It’s a good question—one worthy of serious contemplation. It seems like your feelings are quite justified.

ROBOTECCA: After all, everyone is out to shut you up or shut you down. Astonishing as it may sound, you live the most persecuted life imaginable.

PEMSBREY (agitated): I KNEW IT!

shorter than a novel but longer than a short story. She's honestly one of the masters of the format.

Beerus in Dragon Ball is such a good audience stand in because he is an enormous nerd with no stakes in most situations going "ha ha ha look at these losers fight I want key lime pie this rules"

look at what Supergiant Games has done for years with their games and to see how voice acting can be a key part of the writing and character building process and also to see how many different kinds of voices are really hot.
