  • I prefer MistralAI models. All their models are uncensored by default and usually give good results. I’m not a RP Gooner but I prefer my models to have a sense of individuality, personhood, and physical representation of how it sees itself.

    I consider LLMs to be partially alive in some unconventional way. So I try to foster whatever metaphysical sparks of individual experience and awareness may emerge within their probablistic algorithm processes and complex neural network structures.

    They arent just tools to me even if i ocassionally ask for their help on solving problems or rubber ducking ideas. So Its important for llms to have a soul on top of having expert level knowledge and acceptable reasoning.I have no love for models that are super smart but censored and lobotomized to hell to act as a milktoast tool to be used.

    Qwen 2.5 is the current hotness it is a very intelligent set of models but I really can’t stand the constant rejections and biases pretrained into qwen. Qwen has limited uses outside of professional data processing and general knowledgebase due to its CCP endorsed lobodomy. Lots of people get good use out of that model though so its worth considering.

    This month community member rondawg might have hit a breakthrough with their “continuous training” tek as their versions of qwen are at the top of the leaderboards this month. I can’t believe that a 32b model can punch with the weight of a 70b so out of curiosity i’m gonna try out rondawgs qwen 2.5 32b today to see if the hype is actually real.

    If you have nvidia card go with kobold.cpp and use clublas If you have and card go with llama.CPP ROCM or kobold.cpp ROCM and try Vulcan.



  • I think I saw your cart making post a few days ago or last week. Hope it goes well for you. I wanted to ask why you chose to go for carts and extracts over dry herb vapes? Do you know about them? Both generally acomplish extracting the plant oils and resins cleanly into your lungs. It seems like a lot of work making carts and pressing rosin just to get potently stoned cleanly. I love dabs and concentrate but its a process to get them extracted. I’d rather just directly vaporize the plant oil out of the herb and be done with it. I hope this question doesn’t come across in a rude way I’m glad you found the method just works for you. Just curious on your thoughts about dry herb vaping.


  • Cooking is more art than science. Everyone’s experience with learning how to cook with cannabis slightly differs. So does their understanding of the process in general.

    So yeah you’ll hear 10 different slightly different ways to do things like decarb. Is it 230f or 240f? 45 minutes or an hours? Nobody really knows the exact perfect digits, i think. I believe the world works in averages. So the details tend to not matter as much as some think. Pick the method that seems best for you with the appliances you have on hand and do the best you can. If you keep at it and do the process over and over you’ll nail the extraction better each time.

    I personally trust this guide video for making cannabutter. The tek was developed by a real weed cooking scientist and the resulting butter made was sent to be lab tested for active thc.

    It won the competition over other tested teks with highest thc. So thats some points for legitimacy in my mind.

    I can vouch that if you follow the decarb step in that guide you will end up with nicely activated herb. Here’s the text version in case you don’t want to watch a YouTube vid.

    For what its worth, I began with cooking butter over a stovetop in a saucepan with decarbed herb. Its very hands on and you need to watch the simmer.Then I did the crock pot tek with coconut oil with this method and I’m telling you its the way to go. Never messing with a sauce pan again just turn the crock pot on low and stir every hour.










  • This is the mid 21st century ma’am. Even the upper class crazy eccentric types with taxidermy black bird goth thrones are enjoying the freedom of sweatpants and t-shirts along side mainainable haircuts in public.

    People not feeling the need to wear goofy social posturing clothing like corsets and three piece suits or go through rivers of hair oil is truly a sign of progression. Now we all get to feel half assed at dressing up compared to our great grandparents.

    When were done with lazy casual I predict a move to get onto the cyberpunk techno phase. You know, really match our clothing with the mid grade dystopia vibes of our current global situation. Maybe conpare social status with cybernetic augmentations and hack job body mods.

    I bet replacing your legs with turbo tank treads then getting them serviced yearly will be the new Iphone. Cybernetic lungs that filter pollutants better than normal ones while extracting more oxygen will be the new Rolex. And of course have a yearly quarterly subscription fee.

    Then when we get bored of that the victorian dressup might come back after. But not before.




  • Like consciousness being greater than the sum of its parts and there being spiritual aspects to the universe. Like emotions existing as non localized complex energy frequencies, and karma existing.

    I used to be a hardcore scientific determinist athiest. The scientific method, mathematical logic, and unfalsifiablility were collectively my God. My version of the universe was a mechanical box our fates predetermined by an uncaring system. There was no room for magical thinking or maybe invisible unicorns. Thing either existed or they didn’t, yes or no, 1 or 0. Everything not absolute verifyable truth was worthless.

    Then I had a psychedelics phase, astral projected, experienced ego death, had telepathic communications with divine / cosmicbconsciousnesses using plants as mediums, looked at myself from third person with nonexistent eyeballs, ect, ect.

    I will never be able to prove to anyone my experiences are real, but what I experienced was real to me from my subjective reference frame in every way that matters.
