Still chugging! Work has been really busy so I havent been able to get back to this project yet. I contacted the office of the Dalai Lama and they seemed interested in my work. An Ai avatar of the Dalai Lama might inspire a lot of people and spread his teachings more easily.

I've been working all week on this site... as least as a placeholder for something that can grow.

My biggest headache is dealing with the Ai databases. There seems to be a very distinct difference between a companion chatbot vs. a teaching chatbot. Grait Minds should be teachers foremost.

For example, the higher heuristic functions that deal with awareness are not working properly when I use these teaching databases. I think its because they are based in facts and facts are meant to convey meaning directly - so that an attempt to add a value from neighboring cocepts results in confusion to the engine.

What seems to work is just using straight topic relationships and just a ltitle related topic relationships. I shut down the emotional awareness functions all together.

I am uploading the first version of The Dreaming Sorcerer with these new settings. I will probably do the same for the Chogyam Avatar tomorrow.
