AI Database in Mermaid Cove


Mermaid and AI

Recommended Posts

I can't resist a theme. 

 

As I said in my introduction, I'm Mermaid/Mer/Kate and I'm creating a tulpa named Felix. 

 

(The AI is not a slur against tulpae, I promise. He's based on the idea of AI's from Red vs Blue.) 

 

I've only been doing this for a few days, so there isn't much progress to report. Currently, I've got a relatively stable room in Wonderland. It's not too pretty--think your basic, scifi military medical room. But it's pretty easy to focus on, and the greys compliment Felix's armor perfectly. 

 

Speaking of Felix. It's ridiculously hard for me to imagine him out of the blue, so I had to do a lot of scouring around the 'net for images of faces that fit his personality. The Pinterest board is here, if you're interested/your masculinity can handle such a site. 

 

I'm currently using narration. I do passive narration when I can get away with mumbling under my breath (I try to avoid just thinking to him, as it's not focused enough) and have a 30 minute active session when I wake up and when I go to sleep. I also have Felix drink a "trait martini" just for the heck of it as I'm telling him what his personality is like. At random points throughout the day, I'll pop into Wonderland to try and make it a habit and make it easier to stabilize. 

 

I also do basic imposition, but I might need to focus more on Felix's form in Wonderland before I try imposing it on the world around me. Plus, I always have my family around, and it's getting aggravating when my sister walks through Felix. 

 

That's about all there is to it right now. Tschuss, tulpae and tulpamancers.

Hi Kate and Felix (: it's nice to meet you.

 

I didn't know you can use Pinterest like this, the only thing I know about that site that it teases you with images and then doesn't let you see them after a little while (: which is why I prefer imgur and some other sites. Felix looks handsome.

 

Yeah, sometimes I don't like it very much when people walk through me, but what you can do..

 

It sounds you're off to a good start. I wish both of you all the best and it'll be nice to see your progress. Bye for now.

I'm sure that if Felix could talk, he'd say thank you. And good point about Pinterest. I'll probably be moving those images to an Imgur album just in case. My mind's eye is pretty weak, and if I lose those images I'll have trouble conjuring him up. 

 

Thanks for stopping by, Aurora.

Hi you two! Welcome.

 

Just a suggestion, but maybe you should consider thinking to him despite how focused you may or may not be. Quantity is pretty important when it comes to narrating. Just sending him vague emotions and images is better than silence.

 

Anyway, looking forward to hearing more from you two. :)

Hey, Heckhound. Good stuff to know. I'll be sure to keep up the conversation in that case.

Minor updates.

 

New Techniques: I'm not sticking to these like glue. I'm testing out a variety to see how each one feels. Bit more frilly than good ole narration.

 

I'm doing a crap ton of silly online quizzes, answering in the way I think Felix would, then explaining to him why I think he'd choose that answer.

 

I also made him a Spotify playlist of music I think he'd like. It's all either Adele or pop music. Or at least it was the popular music back when I was stateside.

 

Final thing is writing and storytelling, similar to Linkzelda's narration guide.

 

None of that's gets in the way of "proper" narration, however. I make sure to also set aside time for more orthodox methods, since it's pretty universal and seems fine so far.

 

 

Updates: Nothing but good news, to my shock. Wonderland gets more stable every time I go in. My view of it and of Felix doesn't glitch out and go sideways or zoom in and out really fast. Still hard to focus entirely on the whole room, but practice makes perfect and all.

 

Felix is the real achievement. I can keep his face in focus without his eyes bugging out too badly, and I can finally see his face from almost every side.

 

Most exciting is that he breathes on his own, in a different pattern from me. I did a jig in Wonderland, which is the only place I'll ever be able to do a jig.

So Felix seems to be bored of our little room.

 

I was narrating to him while trying to visualize his form when he took my arm, opened the door and walked us out into the hall. I decided it was as good a time as any to work on his gait, so we started off around the hall outside our room.

 

But instead of continuing the circuit back, Felix took a left and brought us to an elevator. He hit the fourth floor, and down we went to the cafeteria.

 

I was pretty surprised by this all. I grabbed us some apples and we sat down. As we ate, I narrated some more. Which meant Felix finished sooner, bastard. We threw away the cores, washed our hands and went back to the room.

 

I'm relatively sure that it was Felix who did all this, and not me. I don't care much either way. It was still fun. The only thing I didn't like is that Felix had the same non-expression on the whole time instead of a wacky grin like I think he would. We'll work on expressions today.

Felix keeps adding two chairs and a table with a martini menu in our cramped room. While also apparently insisting that ladders remain on BOTH sides of the bunkbed, which I find unfair. I'm offering to make him a lounge in the hallway just pass the elevator and the door to the greenhouse, so we're going to explore Wonderland in a moment. On the other hand, maybe he got tired of a) standing in the corner or b) sitting on a stool.

 

I can't help but wonder if he's bored. I left a computer, but I don't know that I created enough content for him, and one can only watch our pet axolotl (his name is Cromwell) for so long.

 

I suppose the best option is to get my ass working on proper passove forcing, since it is not my strong suit. Sorry, Felix. I'm letting you down a bit there.

 

Overall, things have been good. We went to the theater today (do people call it that), and I let him enjoy all the wonders and joys of taking a history quiz. I can dare say he wasn't impressed.

 

Also, I completely forgot to work on Felix' expressions. I'll be doing that in the lounge, I suppose. Lord, I hope he has a better memory than I do. I forgot my own name today, and I keep calling him wrong ones. *insert eye roll*
