@NullusSpecialis - I may be mistaken, but isn't 'doxxing' secret societies one of the key attributes of this forum?
Are you willing to name the "one particular secret society" you suspect Direne may be an initiate of, and/or is working on a book at this time?
If you train the LLM (say mistral, orca, falcon, or whatever model you choose) using Alice in Wonderland the result would be a Carrolian system. It would be like talking directly with the Mad Hatter.
The same holds for text to image systems (stability diffusion) and the noise-denoise cycle. The reason here is that what it looks like a noisy image for a human is not noisy for just another one. And it is definitely not noisy for a computer. In the end, a portrait of Marilyn Monroe is as noisy as a photograph of beach sand. It is whether it makes sense to you or not what makes the image noisy or not.

I get Alice in Wonderland Syndrome sometimes, when I am VERY relaxed or sometimes when I am sick.

For the second time this week, last night I woke up to what I thought was intense buzzing/tone/vibration. It sounded like an incredibly loud organ, playing a very low note. It was everywhere around me, and I honestly thought there may have been a truck revving its engine just outside my window, but it faded very quickly as I sort of came into consciousness and I realised it must have been in my head. Or perhaps a symptom of the sleep-based hallucinations I get sometimes.
I did some quick googling, and I found out that there is something called Exploding Head Syndrome. Aside from being an AWESOME name for a syndrome, I wonder if this is what I experienced. - en.wikipedia.org...

I get Alice in Wonderland Syndrome sometimes, when I am VERY relaxed or sometimes when I am sick. I used to call it HyperSlow to anyone I described it to. It's like, everything is REALLY big, and moving REALLY slowly but also REALLY accentuated and fast at the same time. It's a really hard state to explain, it used to scare me when I was younger. But now I have come to enjoy the feeling.

You can lie there in bed, and it feels like your limbs stretch out forever. The edges of the bed feel like they are an entire world away. Time sort of slows down and you swear that you can feel a fly's wings in the room beating with each flap. Super pronounced but happening super-fast at the same time. Sometimes there is light, even when you have your eyes shut.

I never really spoke about any of this stuff before, because everyone I ever spoke to about it would just look at me weird and call me crazy. Or a liar, but IDGAF anymore. This # happens, and I want to explore it more. I wish I could force these altered states more easily, so I could explore and experience them more.

Have you ever been on a pendulum ride at an amusement park? Where it swings you up, then down. For me, the next stage is that it expands to my perspective, and I feel very low, then very high, big then small. Back and forth.
Do you get migraines?
Perception wise I see a link between that effect and OBEs which for me have always happened around the hypnagogic stage.
That's the way we see it. Humans are love-prone, and love is the last thing you need in a war like this."
