This was an amazing, fun, and scary post all at the same time.

As a life-long world-builder with a wide, deep epic fantasy world I've meticulously crafted for decades, and as an AI enthusiast until ChatGPT changed the landscape and my relationship with studying AI, I started back-of-the-envelope math-ing about a year ago that publicly accessible, fully rendered, AI generated and customizable, was about 2027. I'm trying to decide if this information is roughly confirming support, or if its still farther away than that.

But its your second idea with the Philosopher Prompt. My partner and I have been neck deep in AI Ethics and philosophical frameworks the last few months, and this reminds me somewhat of what we've been doing, which is building complete personality profiles of characters from fiction and history. Nay calls it Project: Hecate. I'll link it below.

Meanwhile, I've been stress-testing this philosophical framework we built every chance I get. We call it Harmonism; its a non-dogmatic, self-correcting, ethics framework and overall worldview. It sounds crazy, I know. I bring it up because we have Gems built on the framework we've been using in a way very similar to your Prompt suggestion.

I challenge you to plug in Harmonism. Here is a link to the NotebookLM chat built from my own philosophical musings, organized and tested principles of Harmonism, and most importantly, a good sampling of AI Alignment sources.

I am looking for people to knock it down (mainly so I can keep plugging the holes that very few have found). I want this framework to actually work. Be functional. I think it has serious applications for the AI Alignment problem. In a perfect world, I'd push it into the hands of someone who can really test it on an otherwise ethically unhindered AI (in which I include LLMs).

Now, do I keep world-building if I'm going to be doing it digitally in a few years? Or will all of the work I'm doing now only serve to help me create an even more creative and realistic world when that capability arrives!
