Decided to try to do a bunch of tiny faithlets, little cultitos, cuz we don't want to commit to anything too established. But actually it's what's been in my head this morning, and usually the things that darken my head I try to mock with comedy at various levels of success and failure, cuz really its all about getting under the skin of folks who want to control people with twists in narratives and warped halls of mirrors, and doing so by warping them so much they fold back into the shape they've been trying to avoid.

Thanks to: (and once again the opinions of this episode do not reflect the opinions of any of the below:) (I mean, technically that applies to all episodes:)
EleutherAI for making the NAI-LM-3B model that generates the text.
NovelAI for making the text generation service I use for most of these episode, and the text-to-speech version 2 model that makes these episodes potentially entertaining.
@BoneAmputee of EleutherAI for making VQGAN+CLIP and Diffusion image models available for use, which is what makes the background images.
Katherine Crowson (@RiversHaveWings on Twitter) for the KLMC2 animation notebook that will be used on future episodes.

Any voices from the text-to-speech model that might resemble persons living or dead are coincidental, which is my speculation, there's a multi-dimensional latent vocal space, there were many awesome finds, and if I use them it's because of my deep-seated respect for their work, and I think they'd get a hoot that their voice was being used to show how large language models, given the right environment, would speak 24/7 epic poems about anything if we let them.
