This is what I came up with, a version of the sociological great filter, written with the aid of AI:

This hypothesis suggests that the primary obstacle to the long-term survival and expansion of a civilization is not a lack of technology, but the natural tendency for social structures to stabilize into rigid hierarchies. This process occurs through a sequence of predictable stages that eventually prioritize the preservation of power over the progress of the species.

  1. The Consolidation of Power

In any competitive environment, resources and influence naturally begin to concentrate. Over time, this leads to the formation of a global monopoly where a small group of individuals or organizati

I'm trying out playing as the Kong guy in China, and I think I deserve some proper recognition and respect for my most innately meritorious bloodline, I mean seems like it's only fitting and historical, not sure on the exact details of the faith yet but there's definitely going to be tithe involved...

So what are some possible names? I don't really understand the current Confucianism faith names.

Also as for the game mechanism will a head of faith title even work properly in the meritocratic administration system? I don't know if it's possible to create the title as a non independent governer and keep it through different appointments without getting destroyed.

Is there somewhere to share AI generated short stories?

Discussion (Ethics, working with AI etc)

I have been playing around with some AI writing, and it's been pretty fun to write sci-fi scenarios and generate cover images too.

I'm wondering if there's a community where such things can be shared. I know many of the established writing subreddits do not accept AI generated content which is perfectly reasonable so I'm looking for places where AI generated content is welcome, might encourage me to try to improve and seriously put in the effort to create something good.

I will have enough titles to form 2 kingdoms when my character dies, but I am currently only duchy rank, under confederate partition will the 2 kingdoms be created automatically for two of my heirs?

I guess it wouldn't really make sense realistically but the game does say new titles will be created, so should I just wait? It would save a lot of gold.

However in this current succession when I had enough countries for 3 duchies and enough for a kingdom no kingdom was created, and actually only 2 duchies were created on succession while the third heir was left with nothing for some reason, so maybe it is just bugged.

And I was so impressed, the poem was so clever and witty as well as literarily pleasant.

I'm not sure if this factual technical side has been much explored with AI literature but I actually think this application may be where AI writing shines through best. And I think it also avoids much conflict with human writing compared to other genres.

Anyway here it is!

 

In cesium's hum, a steady beat, A second born, precise and sweet. From atoms deep, a truth defined, The truest time, for all mankind.

 

Yet in the sky, a slower pace, Our spinning Earth, in cosmic space. A day it turns, by Sun's bright gleam, A ancient, long-held, earthly dream.

r/Datura•

Anyone has grown both? Which one has the bigger and more fragrant flowers? And is there a difference in how long the flowers last?

I'm thinking about growing Datura in pots as ornamentals, and was wondering which one is the better choice. I'm deciding between single flowered metel or wrightii, or maybe I'll just end up growing both lol.

r/AndroidQuestions•

Is there such an option? Because I have been having issues with a number of apps that are playing audio being abruptly cut off each time the phone screen goes black. In the screen timeout settings I can only choose the time, adaptive timeout and screen attention.

I know I could increase the timeout time but I would still like to keep a short time because that is good in most circumstances, and tried but I'm not even sure if the adaptive timeout is even doing anything because it's not turning off the screen when I'm not using the phone. Ideally I would still like the screen to turn off but the app audio keep playing, but if I can configure specific apps to keep the screen on that is fine too

r/firefox•

For a while now I've noticed that I was somehow inexplicably signed into my Google account on Firefox browser mobile(android) even though I never signed in myself, and this would happen again intermittently after explicitly signing off too.

I've finally figured it out it was via the YouTube mobile app, in particular the "manage all history" option under "history", where the app then proceeds to open Firefox(my default browser app) inside itself to open the page and in doing so automatically signs me in on Firefox, and keeps me signed in on my Firefox browser app.

And I assume there are other actions that lets the YouTube app or even other Google apps do this too, it just needs to open up

r/nutrition•

It seems like the small amount of additional nutrition in the bran might not make up for its antinutrient qualities that stops the absorption of much more valuable micronutrients?

I understand that it may not really make a significant difference if you don't eat a large amount of it and are eating a large amount of nutritious foods, but if you are eating a large amount of wholegrains as a base for your meals, would you be better off eating refined grains instead?

Surely just eating vegetables and fruits would be much more nutritious and beneficial than eating the additional bran in wholegrains without the negative effects of antinutrients screwing you over.

Is the benefit of wholegrain

r/PoliticalScience•

Political science is a subject that I know very little about if at all, and considering the significance of it, I would like to learn a little about it.

I have searched on youtube for some lectures and sorted through the search results(wasn't easy or fun), and found what seemed like the most legitimate ones, although quite to very dated.

These would seem like the best overview ones, from YaleCourses:

It's a shame that the Romani isn't in the game, despite being present during the game period. Now that the adventurer feature is released, I kinda think it would be a good time to try it out playing as the Romani in an ultimate landless playthrough?

Now I haven't played as landless adventurer before, so not sure how viable or fun it would be, but I have checked the game map and done some research, and I think the best starting location would be in Rajasthan/Chauhan which conveniently has the one county of Kalikula Shaktism religion, by the Ghaznavid in 1066. And I guess by creating a custom adventurer character?

Not really sure how accurate the Rajasthani culture and religion would be(app
