That is a good idea, this setting will definitely improve your results. I'm unsure if it could fully compensate for the difference with 3.5g if even 7.5 w/ lemon didn't do much for you. You might have a high natural tolerance, just like me. Are mushrooms the only thing you have access to? If not, try more potent stuff like LSD, 5-MeO-DMT, DMT, DPT. Smoking 5-MeO-DMT several times in particular has subtly increased my sensitivity to all other psychedelics and removed pretty much all visuals, trading them for more consciousness. Didn't do much else, but a very important job nonetheless. Dissociatives are also great, either separately or combined with tryptamines. Nobody talks about them here which is a shame. It's a different kind of ego death. You can try with silence, and the next time put one of Leo's videos in the background, like Understanding Absolute Infinity, Guided Exercise to Realize you're God, An Advanced Explanation of God-Realization. These are awesome supplements that are naturally conducive to deeper states. You might even get used to it, but it's important to alternate between that and going purely into your mind without additional input.

Yeah, that prompt itself is too dry and short, doesn't give the bot enough context. It took me a while to find instructions for a balanced output. But even then different AIs will interpet it differently, focusing too little or too much on some parts. I tried this on DeepSeek yesterday and it started speaking like a cringe blogger, obviously forced. So adjustment is in order. ChatGPT and Claude catch my drift.

Uh-oh, you're getting cancelled

Neither, it is making fun of the bias everyone has towards their own perspectives, treating it like absolute truth, when in fact it's most likely wrong.

Nothing is ever so simple with China. Nice of them to release it open source, but the majority of people won't be using it that way, they'll go through their app/webui, which allows for data collection at large scales, thus justifying the low prices they charge. A closer look at the TOS is needed, though nothing says it will be respected anyway. Still going to use it though.

14 or 32 billion parameter versions should be runnable on a home computer with great specs, 7-8b for lower end. 70b and the full 671 billion will require enterprise level hardware.

Setting a prompt with clear instructions really helps get the most out of the conversation. If we assemble a multitude here, we could borrow useful elements from each other, creating a synergy and improving our own prompts. I'll start:

It is a simple matter, on a scale of 100 the 3rd world is developed at a 10, the West at like 22. Both are still very low in the big picture, but humanity is young. The claim that the West is more developed is therefore correct. As it is merely a relative truth, it's only valid at this point in time, on this planet. Very limited scope. In 500 years for all we know USA will roll back to stage Red and Africa becomes the economic center of the world. Misperceiving it as an absolute is what gets people offended.

These are just some quick examples, there's more. I'll leave it at that, things are fine the way they are. By the way, a video about distinguishing/balancing between vision and fantasy would be great. Learning how to dream big, within the confines of reality is crucial. There's some old adjacent videos, but having a concrete one + all the updated understanding would be nice.

I disagree somewhat about the shift, my understanding of non-violent might be somewhat different as it also includes subtler things like choice of language. Profanity, labels like "leftist", "hippie" are still there, maybe more than ever before. Again, it's all good, I don't take any issue with that. In fact it's great that you're committed to integrity in the face of disagreements, misinterpretation, and depressing impacts. Waiting for more. But I did want to make that suggestion based on observation of what's been going on the forum. Maybe put what you told me on the blog for better visibility.

@Leo Gura Perhaps it would be beneficial if you made an announcement clarifying the current style, direction of your teachings, and the reasons for that. Clearly some people are getting confused. In the past, and even quite recently you mentioned shifting to more "politically correct", non-violent communication, and avoiding beating people over the head with truth, however it's been quite the opposite, at least on the blog and forum. Surely there's tangible reasons for that, as well as the complete focus on epistemology. It's a form of love too, but one harder to see as such. I don't mind the style because I can see through to the substance and get the value, however that might be challenging. People should also be making an effort to read between the lines and contemplate harder on their own, but the gap is bridged quicker when it's done from both ends. So a single in-depth, clear communication should help, and whoever still doesn't get it after that ought to leave or be ignored.

Once the current situation has settled down, it could be great for you. Living there will quickly cut through a lot of western fantasies you hold, witnessing unprecedented levels of corruption and brutality of survival will sober one up and give a newfound appreciation for your lifestyle and the systems that enable it. I lived there till 14 and moved to Spain, had I just been born in a European country with no exposure to the third world I'd be much worse off in many ways. It's always funny discussing with friends here, when I tell them of the corruption that goes on in Russia they get wide-eyed in disbelief. In the EU some politician misappropriating 100k is a huge scandal that's in the news for weeks, in Russia that barely rises up to the level of concern of a local police department in some shithole town. Kinda awesome that people here are politically conscious to this degree, even if sometimes it slips into excess. That's a mark of higher development. Some advice, Moscow is not Russia. In many ways Moscow is more advanced than western capitals. Living there is super comfy, but you'll have to travel around the country to get the true experience. Be ready to leave at a moment's notice, make sure your documents are in order, that you're not registered in военкомат. In theory you should be ok, living abroad is a valid exemption from service. Study the laws carefully so that you're never caught off guard. Paying some fines or bribes is fine.

Seems like you need an awakening to Love, then any such questions will lose relevance

You know how they say, "it's only a crime if you get caught". You can go on air and claim any wild thing you want, maybe you'll even get investigated, but if there's no physical proof, there's no case. Besides, law enforcement doesn't have nearly enough resources to go after small-time consumers or even dealers. Most street and darknet vendors only get caught through their own gross negligence or bad luck.

Yeah, colors are a sideshow. I can't say for sure what's causing your issue, could be a mental block of some kind. Do deep contemplating into the matter. You can arrive at some answer about the symbolic meaning of this. Also consider that there's some things that can only be seen in a particular spectrum. There's certain details that are better visible in black and white, that could be a pointer for you. One of the best substances I use takes me to a pure black void, where no sensory information of any kind is necessary, concepts arise directly in the mind, it's so much more powerful. I also get no visuals on trips anymore, it's all been traded for more consciousness, which's what truly matters. Don't know if you'll be able to solve this, but you absolutely can work around it, potentially find something even better.
