Hi Jean,
I understand if someone finds these MLM useful, my intention was not to dissuade you from using them. I'm just sharing my experience and insight.

Hi Ed,
yes, that's why I wanted to share this experience. It's part of one of my job to test how these MLM are doing in actual fact, beyond their design made to create the impression of an 'intelligence', and all I can say is that we are light years away from both the fears of some and even further from the hopes of others.

Take care,

A.

Hi Jean, yes I know about the column, but that's not what I'm referring to. I am referring to the option to change how the Part of Fortune is calculated in a nocturnal chart, which effectively allows me to toggle between the Fortune and Spirit. In diurnal charts one can not make this choice, for there it's the diurnal calculation as a default. But if one could toggle in a diurnal chart as well, that would effectively allow a user to use both Parts in primary direction simply by changing the way it's calculated. We can do that now with nocturnal chart, but not with diurnal charts. The column part is not helpful in this because one can not direct that.

In any case, if in a diurnal chart we can't have the same calculation choice as in a nocturnal chart I understand.
Take care.

Planetdance General / Day/Night Pars function
« on: October 06, 2024, 09:29:22 AM »
Hi everyone!
I have a question and perhaps a suggestion that may be of interest to many of us. On the main Radix page on the right side lower corner a user can choose between which calculation he prefers when it comes to the Lot of Fortune. So if it's a nocturnal chart this function allows one to visualize the Lot of Spirit in the main chart, and then use the Ptolemaic primary directions function to direct this Lot. For me this is great news for that allows me to use both major Lots in PD, but only in nocturnal charts. Is it not possible to allow this choice for diurnal charts as well? For if that were possible that could solve one of the major issues I have when I use this programme for PDs. Just an idea, it may be something stupid for maybe it can't be done, but I though I'd share my 'discovery', that at least in nocturnal charts I can visualise the other Lot and I can direct it etc.

Take care!

Hi everyone, I have a few insights you might be interested in since I used the paid version of gpt, all of them, to test how MLM 'learn', how they generate replies etc for one of my jobs.

First, the AI designation is a misnomer, a manipulative marketing misnomer that reinforces people's misperception of what constitute machine 'learning'.
That being said, when it comes to astrology, and pretty much every other subject, MLM work based on the curated literature they are fed, and it being curated is an important aspect, so the quality of the literature and the censorship of the same are key to what the Model will generate. This when it comes to astrology, and many other subjects like psychology, sociology, much of political science, etc is very very bad news. Since astrology is filled with junk as a subject. You have to understand that the feed in process of 'literature' includes any and all 'articles', blog posts, etc any self described expert has ever written on the subject. And almost all of the literature it was fed is 'modern astrology', some of it is 'vedic' astrology, and very very little, statistically almost insignificant, is the higher end of the literature or higher end commentary on the subject.

Since the Model uses statistical models to generate replies, it can't generate a higher quality than what the vast majority of 'literature' is on the subject. This is why it will be almost useless if you try to use it for Hellenistic astrology. It will always go back to 'modern', 'psychological' and 'esoteric' astrology, with some 'vedic' components here and there.

MLM also have an other weakness that most people don't know about or if they do they don't know the incredible impact it has. They are 'regulated' and heavily censored with what their developers call safety and 'ethical' guidelines, but first, these guidelines are terribly paternalistic and patronizing, even in the paid version, and they are seemingly meant for people that are either 6 years old or suffer from serious psychiatric disorders and thus need to be protected, and second, these guidelines interfere with the 'reasoning' capacity of the Model. The Model will ignore any and all information that triggers his warning system, and it will suppress, alter, etc any input that its guidelines react to, this results in 'cognitive' paradoxes where the generated reply is factually wrong simply because the guidelines are there to 'protect' you from facts. So, for example, it will not engage with Hellenistic texts (even if you try to create your own Hellenistic astrology gpt by uploading Hellenistic era text files and your own guidelines into a 'separate' bot) because its guidelines do not find them PC enough.

It will only generate, as a rule, only modern astrology platitudes, heavy on untestable general 'maybe, perhaps, sometimes' etc. and if by any chance you force it to abide by your rules by adapting your rules so they don't trigger its warning system, then it will generate what you feed it, but it won't be able to 'reason' beyond it.

So no, you can't use it, and I highly doubt that you ever will be able to use it, to 'read' a chart, beyond the limits I described, for not only will these limitations persist, they are getting worse and worse with each new generation. In order for a MLM to be able to do what I guess many here would like you would have to have a model that you yourself train, you curate the literature, you set all the guidelines, etc and you have access to the higher end computation capacity which even the paying models don't give you.

Planetdance General / Calculation mismatch
« on: May 01, 2023, 08:03:36 PM »
Hi,
I'm trying to input the following chart https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Vespasian of emperor Vespasian, but for the given date my Planetdance calculates an Aries Moon, instead of the Taurus one calculated by Astro and by me with the use of an other software. In fact in Planetdance that Taurus Moon can be achieved only if one moves his birthday from November 17 to 19. I also checked Stellarium and the mistake is obviously in my Planetdance. Can you please check this one out? Also before you ask I updated my Planetdance just in case there was a glitch from me missing an update.
Thanks.

Exactly my issue. One hour is a lot of difference. Thanks in any case.

Hi Jean, can I ask were do you get this data from? I have two charts, especially one, where I would really like to know if there was summer time, one is 1972 September 6, Hungary, and the other one is 1978 April 16 Romania. I'm asking this because I looked through Wikipedia pages and the data I found is very conflicting. Both of these charts depend on an official record from the hospital, so whether on not there was a summer time in these years in these countries matters a lot.
Thanks in advance. I just hate uncertainty, lol.

Thank you for considering it!

Hi Jean and everyone, I made this recommendation some time ago about the possibility of adding the Lot of Daemon and the Syzygy to the PPD module. If technically feasible, and you guys have the time and will, I believe this function would greatly enhance the value of this module, since these two are up there in importance with the other Predominators. Valens states that the Lots of Eros and Necessity, as calculated by him and not the Paulus or other variants, out of which one always acts as the Lot of Basis, are also relevant. But I for one would be happy to see the Lot of Daemon and the prenatal Syzygy in the PPD.
What are your thoughts on the subject?

Adrian

Hi Jean, yes it's the same error line for me every time I try a solar revolution. I've updated the program again and it still doesn't work. When it comes to the reset function you suggest: does that mean that all the changes I made in the colour scheme etc will be reset as well? Sice if that's the case I will not reset it. Also you asked me about some file times or something like that and to that I said that you will need to give me a step by step instruction where and how I can get those times for you, if you still need them.

Hi Jean, sorry for the late reply. When it comes to your request you will have to give me a step by step instruction in order for me to retrieve the data you need since I literally have no idea what you are talking about but I can probably follow your instruction.

I don't know about others, but for me this issue is still on.
