That's a very optimistic answer to a very big hydra. How do you reckon?

William Fox (who was a monumental bastard of the highest order) went to prison in the 1940s because he thought FDR would allow him to monopolize the film industry in return for helping to convince Americans to join the war effort. Fox founded the March of Dimes. Yes, that was the original "Fox News" I guess you could say.

So what's happening isn't the new America, it's the old America with the worst possible person in charge. Ever since I could vote, I've been voting for FDR even though I know that's not what I'm going to get. If anything good comes out of this disaster, it will be that an Obama-like figure (I don't give a shit what anybody thinks of him, he was objectively a very good president and historians will remember him as such) will win an election and be able to get things done with an FDR-like mandate. Trump has really opened the hatches for all kinds of horrible backlash.

The American left is engaged in a slow and unconscious suicide. Meanwhile, conservatives are fucking evil as fuck.

I'll take a Trotsky over a Stalin any day. Besides, this is Hollywood shit. The gov of California is a relatively blanched position. It's a showpony job by design. Newsom has power here because everyone that has power in Sacramento and in the county system supports him. Everybody fucking despises Trump except the neonazis at this point.

I got 25% success, which is so much better than the old model's success rate, with the following prompt, inspired by your post:

prompt: aooooooooga look at my new blond wife, cartoon guy jaw dropping eyes bugging out

Yeah, I know styles add a preset list of prompts...It's just that one would think this behavior would be inherently dealt with by now. Part of it's training, so to speak. I guess I'll be more vigilant about describing things without words and signatures, but it's not quite a "style", as in a general kind of inspired creation, if it's including a signature. That's more akin to just "copying." I'm sure this will improve with time.

Thank you for the reply. I'm a bit less knowledgeable on these tools you've mentioned. Forgive my ignorance, but what is meant by a witchcraft hack?

Also not sure what I've done to deserve downvotes... Peculiar. Anyways, the "unsigned" and "no signature" advice was quite good. I don't mind simply incorporating negative prompts into prompts; it's a bit more intuitive-- why are there two queues for rendering anyways? I don't order a cheeseburger from a diner twice, one order with everything I want, the other order with everything I don't want (NO ANIME CHEESE, NOT RAW, NOT SMASHED)...

By the by I'm seeing a lot of blatant "Artstation" watermarks and imprintings as well in my results, without requesting this. Maybe the presets should be tweaked to fix this problem.

Ah well. Here's to hoping. Thanks for the reply.

GPT is terrible at consistent memory. It won't know what to focus on unless you constantly tell it. There are a few tricks to make it better.

1. You can type /mem and get a list of what its memorizing, assuming you have memories enabled. This can allow you to remove garbage that the AI fixates upon. This can be a good source of lore as well if you don't feel like writing it.

2. The stuff in the character description is very important, it's always referring to it seemingly more than any other source.

3. I can't tell how effective adding lore to the lore URL field in the character settings really is. I honestly have no idea if it works. When I click on reply details from the AI is never actually says it has used my lore files, so I have no idea. But it's something to try.

4. Sometimes the reminder function actually works as intended. Sometimes.

5. Dev has stated that the text model is messed up and outdated. They said April would be a release date for a new version of the text AI model, but I didn't believe it because it's a big change. I'm not upset about it, I imagine upgrading this beast will take some time.

Trump sort of sounds like vomit getting caught in your throat after a burp, the Musk is what comes out when you finally hurl.

Yeah if you fiddle around with about:config without knowing exactly what yer doing, shit breaks. Fortunately you can type "about:profiles" in the url box, make a test profile, and mess around as much as you want before nuking your default browser.
