Panel 5: Thunder is shown blowing up the transmitter. The caption reads "...which Thunder then eliminated. But who had enslaved the villagers in the first place?"

Panel 4: Whisper is shown following the control signal to a transmitter in the middle of the village. A caption reads "Whisper rapidly located the source of the signal..."

Thunder is seen flying toward the village as well, saying "initiating attack sequence".

Panel 3: I am seen sitting on the cliff, looking at the drone's camera data on my tablet. I say "Entropy take me! Those collars override any signals sent from the brain to the body! Whisper, trace the source of the control signal; Thunder, assault the source!"

Panel 2: The village as seen through Whisper's cameras. We can see that there is something wrong with the villagers; they have electronic collars around their necks and have distressed expressions. Red text points at the collar and reads "class-3 body control device".

Panel 1: I'm standing on a mountain cliff, looking at a village below. I say "Ah, finally a place to rest. Whisper, go check out the locals." Whisper says "acknowledged" and is seen flying toward the village.

One of them, Whisper, is specialized for reconnaissance and the other, Thunder, for combat. The shade of my clothes is similar to the picture and I'm wearing a cloak.

Prompt: "This is me, can you draw a five-panel comic of me in a science fantasy setting. I should have a band of hovering multicolored gems hovering around my wrists (nothing physically connecting them, they're hovering in air) as well as two futuristic drones floating around my head.

I talk more about this and related topics, such as the pitfalls of non-self-coercion, in this article. kajsotala.substack.com/p/different-...

Inner anarchy is generally quite dysfunctional and unpleasant, but may sometimes be the mind's best attempt at trying to solve an impossible external dilemma. Distributed control can be very pleasant and smooth, but make it impossible to force yourself into doing anything.

Like in a human organization, each of these has its own advantages, disadvantages, and prerequisites. Central control can allow for rapid action in the face of inner conflict, but in so doing suppress important information and needs.

(Also other possible configurations, like plural systems, that I don't feel competent to comment on.)

3. In inner anarchy, there's little in the way of leadership; different parts of the psyche are engaged in a constant war against each other.

4. In distributed control, control smoothly switches between parts of the psyche on an as-needed basis.

1. In strong central control, it's like one part of the psyche maintains control over the rest, with little resistance.

2. In weak central control, one part of the psyche *tries* to maintain control over the rest, but it's often tiring and exhausting.

(But thanks to them, I might later post a rewritten thing that now argues for the opposite of my original position)

As an added bonus, I can also ask the LLM to critically evaluate the video's claims and check them against available sources to get an added fact/sanity check to whatever the video is saying.

4.5 will sometimes actively notice that it's getting repetitive and decide to do something else, one convo was going toward a spiral but the Sonnets noticed that and decided to switch to writing fiction instead (!!!). Posted more details here: www.lesswrong.com/posts/a9ftaW... .
