We are releasing the Glossary for the social media!

With the aim of covering basic definitions of the books, and other not so typical ones used in the subreddit.

To unify the Instagram audience, which is lazy to read posts, with the Reddit one.

And somehow have a more solid "structure" for new visitors.
Credits to the MEDIA group.

Maybe short looping videos? This is more common on social media today than GIFs.

Yes, we put them like that in the social media, but Reddit doesn't allow many videos put together.

Nicely done! I really like the Magic the Gathering format with the animated image.

Great. It was inspired in the Yu Gi Oh! Cards design.

that’s exactly what they reminded me!

Animated stills! I wish someone would work out that format, so you don't have to play little videos.

If that's what you ended up doing here.

The middle animation is a bit "Yogi delusional".

Things are far more complex than that simplified view.

However, that doesn't mean it won't appeal to seekers of coziness.

Which is everyone who might decide to try learning.

And the AI tools seem to seek out Eastern thinking, because that's all they've had for training data.

My post today ended up with a statue of a Chinese God, taken from a Hindu God.

One that adorns little shrines Taiwanese businessmen keep in their main office, to ask questions of "the ancestors", through the use of moon shaped wooden pieces they clap together and cast down to see how they land.

The moon shape comes from Akkadian imagery.

So I suppose we can't escape imagery prejudices.

Yes, it's the best I could manage Chat GPT to do. I liked it because it showed the luminous egg and the assemblage point located into it's ordinary position.

We in fact had to change a couple of them since Chat GPT drawed those like Chakras and Meditation stuff.

It always does that to me.

I understand how AIs work now, since I'm implementing one with electronic chip hardware logic.

The pictures it's trained on are broken up into tiny pieces and those are stored in high dimensional space, for use to make an image you request.

So if it wasn't trained on it, it can't really reproduce it from what you say. It can extrapolate, but not create.

But eventually we'll get revenge because it'll get trained on our reddit images, and then the "Chakra" people will ask it to make a chakra picture, and it'll come up with sorcery puffs stuck on pouches.

Maybe it'll toss in a yellow or green one because we have some pictures like that.

We could of course cause that to happen sooner, by finding out where to put images that have the best chance of being used in the training database.

Probably a big bribe would work too...

But it has many advantages compared to doing collages in photoshop. Like the time you save, which is 1 collage equivalent to 5 accurate Chat GPT pictures.

Or that it can respect a "style" in the creations, so all of them are aligned.

Nicely done. Not that I know anything about animations. Thank you!
