We make new assistants update it every night at midnight, it’s a great way to learn the tools and to find out if they have the advanced math skills necessary to keep this place oiled and flying smoothly.

Does anybody know what a Tulpa is? I’ve heard the term quite frequently but I have no idea what it means

It may sound cool but it’s actually just a pragmatic measure to induce sleep deprivation in assistants so they gradually become crazier and eventually crazy enough to be demoted to mod.

I used to not know what a “tulpa” is, but then I googled it and now I have some sort of idea.

One way of thinking of Tulpas is when an author’s characters are so well developed, and have grown so much, that they start writing themselves. Sometimes even having arguments with the authors about what is happening in their story lines.
That’s Tulpa-like.
Personally, I like Walter Jon Williams’s take on Tulpas best, in their novel ‘Aristoi’.
(this link goes to the author’s own Amazon store, so if you buy it they get an extra bump)
In brief, the most effective people in society are those who can put their minds to more than one purpose. What we would see today as a multiple personality disorder they see as highly effective individuals capable of manifesting more than one unique personality at a time, each of which is able to do things independently of the primary personality.
Don’t want to work the math on a problem? Let your Tulpa do it. Want to work on project A but project B needs some progress? Have your Tulpa do it. Odds are you’ll wake up in the morning with the answer.
My Tulpa has a credit card and was invited to trade shows I never attended. She won the ‘Sales Person Of The Year’ for a company in France that I never talked to. She still gets invitations to their annual meeting. I always decline, because she’s ‘busy with other projects’, but even though she no longer works there they still remember her and wish she’d do some more work for them.
Today, she is mostly retired (she doesn’t like that word but I think it fits) and manages a radio station. I hardly ever pay any attention to it - she basically runs it herself. I like some of the music a lot, but her tastes in music range wider than mine do, and whenever we do a review of new songs it just results in a fight so I let her handle it. For all that I don’t entirely agree with what she’s doing, the station seems to be doing really well.
2LDR: She really REALLY likes Drum&Bass, and I’m more Prog Trance. Which she just reminded me is only disco with new shoes. But then, isn’t Drum&Bass just House with better speakers? See - like this. We could go all afternoon if I had the time and she wasn’t already busy with her own projects.
Some people call it their ‘muse’. I also have one of those, but it’s not so … chatty. Or opinionated.
Walter Jon Williams also wrote the incredibly nerd novel Knight Moves.
Pretty much one of the novels that helped me realize I was a furry, and a math-loving nerd.
Many of Walter Jon Williams books are heavy on the math, like Dread Empire’s Fall.
Much of the major plot of the series is about the math of space battles when you’re limited to subliminal ships, and what you can do when you have ships that can regularly and easily achieve continuous acceleration in space.
This is one of the series and authors that the makers of The Expanse leaned on to get a feeling for what fights in space would be like. And it has a lot to do with why there’s no ‘fighters’ in The Expanse and everyone depends on superfast missiles and close order kinetic energy weapons like PDCs.
2LDR: Missiles can go places fast and hard and achieve accelerations and survive G-forces that would reduce a human to jelly. Also gravity and distance are the real enemy when you’re at war in space.
Sorry for the derail - I just really love Walter Jon William’s work.

Good tip for me to remember in case I decide to use this technique in my writing. Thanks Ciaran ^-^

Oh wow wouldn’t have guessed that :o
but then that means I could be one since I stay up late most of the time ^o^ (did I not have a threshold with not being able to look at explicit stuff uncomfortably >~<)

Yeah. When you know what your characters want - and when THEY know what they want - all you have to do is sit back and write what happens.

It really was an accident. I was doing an online comic and she showed up. Then when I needed someone to do some commercial espionage to research a competitor that we were thinking of buying I let her write the job application and she got hired. And then a few months later I got her invitation to France for the ‘Salesperson Of The Year’ award. That’s part of how she got a phone and a credit card - she needed those for work.

Then she got invited to MacWorld and got sent a free badge - I had to pay for mine >__<
I think people think that she was at every party there that year. I spent the whole expo talking to clients and customers.
She still gets letters from time to time.
So … she was accidental. But very welcome.

I found this awesome classical cover pianist named Rousseau on YouTube, and in 2020 he introduced me to several classic pieces I really love now 😇🥰

Dvořák Cello Concerto op. 104 is playing at work right now. It’s a little sleepy for a Sunday afternoon at work, but it’s ok.
What’s your favorite?

I’m a musical pleb. I do like Mercury and Jupiter from Gustav Holst along with all of The Planets suite.

Also I’ve always liked Mozart’s Turkish March and Beethoven’s Fur Elise since they sound so energetic and fun and Moonlight Sonata.
Yeah I’m pretty basic but I do want to get into more classical music.

Hey I just listened to the guy a few seconds ago when listening to Turkish March. I’ll check him out more.

unless you have a bitch ass stubborn little no-good sunnuva muffled belly-aching character who just REFUSES to do anything in a scene that should be the culmination of his dreams being fulfilled and also REFUSES to explain why so your entire project is on ice for the literal years it takes you to discover why
and yeah it makes sense in retrospect but you also want to just strangle the bastard

Moonlight Sonata is my favorite movement, although Liebstratum (not sure that’s the correct spelling), Consolation No. 3, the Funeral March and Fantasie Impromptu are among some of my favorites, though I have quite a few. 🥰

Sometimes those are the best.
Sometimes those are the best.
I had to stop the car once when I realized what a character had been doing, because I was so mad.
I didn’t know.
Like when Roy Scheider’s character Heywood Floyd in 2010 The Year We Make Contact discovers why HAL had gone haywire and killed everyone in the crew - except for David Bowman. Even though he was the director for the flight.
Dr. Heywood Floyd : Those sons of bitches. I didn’t know. I didn’t know!
It is an infuriating moment when one of your characters out-thinks you. Enraging. Delicious. Wonderful.
