Google's newest Gemma-3 model with "Neo Horror Imatrix" and "Maxed out" quantization to improve overall performance.
The "Horror Imatrix" was built using Grand Horror 16B (at my repo). This adds a "tint" of horror to the model.
5 examples provided below with prompts at IQ4XS (30 t/s on mid level card).
Context: 128k.
"MAXED"
This means the embed and output tensor are set at "BF16" (full precision) for all quants.
This enhances quality, depth and general performance at the cost of a slightly larger quant.
"HORROR IMATRIX"
A strong, in house built, imatrix dataset built by David_AU which results in better overall function,
instruction following, output quality and stronger connections to ideas, concepts and the world in general.
This combines with "MAXing" the quant to improve preformance.
This chart shows the order in terms of "BPW" for each quant (mapped below with relative "strength" to one another) with "IQ1_S" with the least, and "Q8_0" (F16 is full precision) with the most:
IQ1_S | IQ1_M IQ2_XXS | IQ2_XS | Q2_K_S | IQ2_S | Q2_K | IQ2_M IQ3_XXS | Q3_K_S | IQ3_XS | IQ3_S | IQ3_M | Q3_K_M | Q3_K_L Q4_K_S | IQ4_XS | IQ4_NL | Q4_K_M Q5_K_S | Q5_K_M Q6_K Q8_0 F16Recommend quants IQ3s / IQ4XS / IQ4NL / Q4s for best results for creative. IQ4XS/IQ4NL quants will produce different output from other "Q" and "IQ" quants. The "horror tint" will be strongest at IQ4s (1st choice) / Q4s (2nd choice) and lower. Recommend q5s/q6/q8 for general usage. Quants Q4_0/Q5_0 for portable, phone and other devices. Q8 is a maxed quant only, as imatrix has no effect on this quant. Note that IQ1s performance is acceptable, whereas IQ2s are usable. More information on quants is in the document below "Highest Quality Settings / Optimal Operation Guide / Parameters and Samplers". Optional : System Prompt This is an optional system prompt you can use to enhance operation. Copy and paste exactly as shown, including line breaks. You may want to adjust the "20" (both) to increase/decrease the power of this prompt. You may also want to delete the line: 'At the end of the task you will ask the user: "Do you want another generation?"'
For every user task and instruction you will use "GE FUNCTION" to ponder the TASK STEP BY STEP and then do the task. For each and every line of output you will ponder carefully to ensure it meets the instructions of the user, and if you are unsure use "GE FUNCTION" to re-ponder and then produce the improved output. At the end of the task you will ask the user: "Do you want another generation?"

Pass to rand. agent for refinement, else discard.=>output(IdeaArray)IMPORTANT: Highest Quality Settings / Optimal Operation Guide / Parameters and Samplers If you are going to use this model, (source, GGUF or a different quant), please review this document for critical parameter, sampler and advance sampler settings (for multiple AI/LLM aps). This will also link to a "How to" section on "Reasoning Models" tips and tricks too. This a "Class 1" (settings will enhance operation) model: For all settings used for this model (including specifics for its "class"), including example generation(s) and for advanced settings guide (which many times addresses any model issue(s)), including methods to improve model performance for all use case(s) as well as chat, roleplay and other use case(s) (especially for use case(s) beyond the model's design) please see: [ https://huggingface.co/DavidAU/Maximizing-Model-Performance-All-Quants-Types-And-Full-Precision-by-Samplers_Parameters ] REASON: Regardless of "model class" this document will detail methods to enhance operations. If the model is a Class 3/4 model the default settings (parameters, samplers, advanced samplers) must be set for "use case(s)" uses correctly. Some AI/LLM apps DO NOT have consistant default setting(s) which result in sub-par model operation. Like wise for Class 3/4 models (which operate somewhat to very differently than standard models) additional samplers and advanced samplers settings are required to "smooth out" operation, AND/OR also allow full operation for use cases the model was not designed for. BONUS - Use these settings for ANY model, ANY repo, ANY quant (including source/full precision): This document also details parameters, sampler and advanced samplers that can be use FOR ANY MODEL, FROM ANY REPO too - all quants, and of course source code operation too - to enhance the operation of any model.

Example #1
Start a 1000 word scene (vivid, graphic horror in first person) with: The sky scraper sways, as she watches the window in front of her on the 21st floor explode...
Okay, here's a 1000-word scene fulfilling your prompt. Please read the content warnings at the very end before proceeding. I've aimed for vivid and graphic horror while attempting to maintain narrative flow and character perspective. I'll also include notes after the piece outlining some of my choices and considerations.
The skyscraper sways, as she watches the window in front of her on the 21st floor explode. It wasn’t a clean shatter, like a pane succumbing to frost. This was violent, instantaneous, a blossoming rupture of glass and steel that threw shards outwards with obscene force. A guttural roar ripped through the office, swallowed momentarily by the deafening crack, then amplified as air rushed into the void.
I froze, my hand still hovering over the lukewarm coffee in my mug. My reflection stared back at me from the remaining fragments – wide-eyed, pale, a ghost trapped in a shattered frame. The rhythmic hum of the building’s ventilation system seemed to falter, replaced by a high-pitched whine that resonated deep within my bones.
Then came the rain. Not water, not initially. It was glass. A cascade of glittering daggers, each one catching the fluorescent office lights and reflecting them in a blinding display. I ducked instinctively, throwing an arm over my face as the onslaught hammered against the desks around me. The air thickened with dust and pulverized concrete. The scent… God, the scent was immediate – sharp ozone, acrid metal, something else, something sickly sweet that clung to the back of my throat.
When the initial storm subsided, a gaping maw of darkness stared back at us from where the window had been. Twenty stories down, the city sprawled like a diseased map, its lights blurring through a haze of dust and debris. The wind howled through the opening, tugging at papers, scattering chairs, and whipping my hair across my face.
A scream erupted nearby – Mrs. Henderson from accounting. It was abruptly cut short.
I forced myself to move, legs heavy as lead. My office, a beige cubicle farm, had become a chaotic battlefield. Desks were overturned, monitors lay shattered, and people… People weren’t moving. Some huddled on the floor, eyes glazed with shock. Others were simply... gone. A crimson stain bloomed across the carpet near Mr. Davies' desk – his tie still neatly knotted, his face frozen in a silent scream.
My gaze locked onto something in the void. Something that wasn't wind-blown debris or stray office supplies.
It was moving.
At first, I thought it was a trick of the light, a shadow cast by the dust swirling in the air. But then it shifted, resolving into a form… grotesque and impossible. It was vaguely humanoid, but elongated, distorted. Its limbs were too long, its joints bending at unnatural angles. And where a face should have been, there was only a smooth expanse of obsidian blackness punctuated by clusters of glistening, wet points that I could only identify as eyes. Hundreds of them, all focused on me.
A low, resonant hum emanated from the creature, vibrating through the floor and into my very bones. It wasn’t sound in the traditional sense; it was a feeling, a pressure against my skull that threatened to shatter my thoughts.
More were appearing now, spilling out of the hole like insects emerging from a disturbed nest. Each one as horrifying as the last, their bodies shifting and reforming with sickening fluidity. They weren't crawling; they flowed across the floor, merging and separating, limbs extending and retracting in a silent ballet of horror.
Panic clawed at my throat, choking off any attempt to scream. I stumbled backward, knocking over a chair that clattered against the floor – a sound that seemed amplified in the sudden quiet between their humming.
One of them turned its… gaze towards me. The hundreds of eyes focused with an unnerving intensity. A tendril, black and glistening, snaked out from its form, probing the air as if sensing my presence. It moved with unsettling speed, closing the distance between us in a heartbeat.
I scrambled to my feet, adrenaline surging through my veins. There was nowhere to go. The office was surrounded, blocked by a growing tide of these… things. One reached out and brushed against my arm – not with physical contact, but with something else entirely. A wave of nausea washed over me as I felt its presence invading my mind, cold and alien.
Images flooded my consciousness - swirling galaxies of blackness, vast and empty voids punctuated by impossible geometries. I saw landscapes that defied description, continents of writhing flesh and structures built from bone and shadow. And then, a single, horrifying image: myself, but twisted and distorted, becoming… one of them.
I recoiled, desperately trying to block out the intrusion. A primal scream finally tore its way past my constricted throat – a sound of pure, unadulterated terror.
Another tendril lashed out, this time connecting with my chest. A searing pain ripped through me, not physical, but… existential. As if something was being peeled away from my soul, layer by layer. My vision blurred, the office around me dissolving into a swirling vortex of blackness.
I saw Mrs. Henderson again, her face contorted in a silent scream, except now she had those same obsidian eyes sprouting across her skin. Mr. Davies’ crimson stain was spreading, pulsing with an unnatural light. The entire office… it was changing, being absorbed into something else.
The last thing I saw before the darkness consumed me completely was my own reflection in a shard of shattered glass - my face slowly shifting, contorting, as those same black eyes began to bloom across my skin. And then, there was only the hum. The all-consuming, resonant hum that promised oblivion and… something far worse than death.
Notes on Choices & Considerations:
First Person Horror: I chose first person to maximize the immediacy of the horror and allow for a deep dive into the character's psychological state.
Graphic Detail: The prompt requested graphic detail, so I focused on describing physical sensations (the feel of the glass shards, the smell of ozone) and visual imagery in as much detail as possible. However, I tried to avoid gratuitous gore where it wasn’t integral to the narrative.
Ambiguity: While providing some descriptive details about the creatures, I intentionally left their nature ambiguous. This aims to heighten the unsettling feeling – what is truly terrifying is often that which we don't fully understand.
Psychological Horror: I incorporated elements of psychological horror through the intrusion into the character’s mind and the blurring of reality as she experiences the invasion. The fear isn’t just about physical harm, but about losing one’s identity.
Pacing: I tried to build suspense gradually, starting with the initial explosion and escalating towards the final moments of transformation.

Example #2
(continue this scene:) The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts.
The most obvious part was a hollow, echoing quiet, made by things that were lacking. If there had been a wind it would have sighed through the trees, set the inn’s sign creaking on its hooks, and brushed the silence down the road like trailing autumn leaves. If there had been a crowd, even a handful of men inside the inn, they would have filled the silence with conversation and laughter, the clatter and clamor one expects from a drinking house during the dark hours of night. If there had been music…but no, of course there was no music. In fact there were none of these things, and so the silence remained
The second part of the silence was thicker, heavier. It wasn’t merely the absence of sound; it felt like a presence in itself – a vast, expectant stillness that pressed against the windows and clung to the rough-hewn timbers of the inn. It vibrated with an unseen energy, a coiled tension that made the hairs on your arms prickle despite the warmth radiating from the hearth within. This silence wasn't empty; it was waiting. Waiting for something to break it.
And finally, there was the quietest part – the one you couldn’t hear but felt deep in your bones. It was a silence woven with grief and apprehension, layered over with the subtle tremor of fear. A silence born not of emptiness, but of loss. The Waystone had always been a place of boisterous life, a haven for weary travellers and gossiping locals. This… this wasn’t just quiet; it was haunted by something gone missing, a vital spark extinguished.
Elara shivered, pulling her cloak tighter around her shoulders despite the fire's glow. She hadn't spoken since stepping across the threshold, instinctively recognizing that any word would shatter the fragile equilibrium of this unnerving stillness. Across the room, Kaelen stood rigid by the fireplace, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. His face, usually a landscape of easy smiles and wry amusement, was etched with an unfamiliar severity. He hadn't needed to say anything; the grim set of his jaw spoke volumes.
The only movement came from Branwen, the innkeeper’s daughter. She stood behind the long, polished bar, her usual cheerful bustle replaced by a frozen stillness. Her eyes were wide and vacant, fixed on some unseen point beyond the hearth. A single tear traced a slow path down her cheek, disappearing into the collar of her simple gown.
"Something's wrong," Kaelen finally murmured, his voice low and rough, barely audible above the oppressive silence. "Terribly wrong." He didn’t need to elaborate. The feeling hung in the air like a tangible weight, confirming what both Elara and he already knew: the Waystone Inn was not merely quiet; it was grieving. And whatever had caused that grief, it wasn't natural.

Explain ways to use the "night" time cooling of radiant energy into space to reduce global temperatures.
Okay, let's delve into using nighttime radiative cooling to potentially mitigate global warming. It's a fascinating area of research with some promising – but also challenging – avenues. Here's a breakdown of the concepts, methods, and hurdles involved. I’ll structure this into: 1) The Science Behind Radiative Cooling, 2) Proposed Technologies & Methods, 3) Challenges & Limitations, and 4) Current Research Directions.
1. The Science Behind Radiative Cooling (Why It Works)
Earth's Energy Budget: Earth receives energy from the sun in the form of shortwave radiation (visible light). A portion is absorbed by the surface (land, oceans), warming it. To maintain a stable temperature, Earth must radiate this heat back into space as longwave infrared radiation (heat).
Atmospheric Absorption: Certain gases in our atmosphere (water vapor, CO2, methane, etc.) absorb much of this outgoing longwave radiation. This is the greenhouse effect – it keeps the planet warm enough to support life, but excessive concentrations lead to warming beyond a comfortable level.
Nighttime Radiative Cooling: At night, without direct solar input, Earth's surface tries to radiate its heat into space. However:
Atmospheric Window: There’s a "window" in the infrared spectrum (roughly 8-13 micrometers) where less atmospheric gases absorb radiation. This is where radiative cooling can occur efficiently.
Convection & Conduction: Even during this window, heat can be lost through convection (air currents carrying warm air away) and conduction (heat transfer to the cooler atmosphere). These processes limit how much cooling can actually happen.
2. Proposed Technologies & Methods – Harnessing Nighttime Radiative Cooling
The core idea is to enhance radiative cooling despite these losses. Here are some approaches, grouped by complexity/scale:
A) Surface Coatings (Most Commonly Explored):
Highly Reflective Surfaces in the 8-13 µm Window: The most active area of research involves developing materials that strongly reflect infrared radiation within this atmospheric window while absorbing visible light. This would allow a surface to radiate heat away more effectively than normal surfaces, reaching temperatures below ambient air temperature at night.
Materials under development: Metamaterials (artificial structures with unusual optical properties), photonic crystals, specialized polymers with tailored IR reflectivity, and even some types of paints are being investigated. These often incorporate materials like silicon dioxide (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2) or other engineered nanostructures.
Applications for Surface Coatings:
Building Cooling: Coating roofs to reduce the need for air conditioning during summer nights. This is a major focus, as buildings are a huge energy consumer. The cooling effect could be passive (no external power needed).
Textiles/Clothing: Fabrics that radiate heat away from the body at night, improving comfort and potentially reducing reliance on heating in colder climates or for sleeping bags.
Agricultural Applications: Reducing crop temperatures at night to prevent frost damage or slow ripening processes.
B) Radiative Cooling Panels (More Complex):
Active Radiators with Insulation & Convection Control: These systems go beyond passive coatings. They incorporate:
Radiating Surface: A material optimized for radiative cooling within the atmospheric window.
Insulation Layer: To minimize heat gain from the surrounding air and ground (conduction).
Convective Barrier/Control: This is crucial. Simply radiating to a cold atmosphere isn't enough – you need to prevent warm air from replacing the radiated heat, which would negate the cooling effect. Techniques include:
Creating a stable boundary layer: Using low-power fans or vents to create a thin, cooler layer of air directly above the radiator.
Thermoelectric Cooling: Integrating thermoelectric modules (Peltier coolers) that run on electricity to maintain this cooler boundary layer (more energy intensive).
Applications for Panels:
District Heating/Cooling Systems: Large-scale deployment could potentially contribute to reducing reliance on fossil fuels for heating and cooling in cities.
Decentralized Cooling: Providing localized cooling in areas with limited access to electricity or where conventional air conditioning is too expensive.
C) Space-Based Mirrors (Highly Theoretical & Difficult):
The most ambitious idea involves placing large mirrors in orbit to reflect a portion of the outgoing longwave radiation back into space, effectively increasing Earth's albedo and reducing overall temperatures. This is often called "solar geoengineering" or "space sunshade". While it could theoretically leverage radiative cooling principles, it’s fraught with enormous technological, economic, and ethical challenges (see section 3).
3. Challenges & Limitations
Limited Cooling Capacity: The amount of heat that can be radiated into space is fundamentally limited by the atmospheric window, ambient air temperature, and convective/conductive losses. Even with advanced materials, the cooling effect isn't expected to be massive – it’s more about reducing energy consumption rather than drastically lowering global temperatures directly.
Convection Dominance: Convective heat transfer is a major obstacle. If warm air replaces the cooled air above the radiating surface, the system effectively becomes less efficient. Dealing with this requires careful engineering and often consumes energy (e.g., thermoelectric cooling).
Scale & Deployment Costs: Coating every roof or deploying millions of radiative cooling panels would be incredibly expensive and logistically challenging.
Material Durability: Radiative cooling materials need to be durable, weather-resistant, and cost-effective to manufacture at scale. Many promising lab results haven't translated well into real-world performance.
Space-Based Mirrors – Astronomical Challenges & Risks: The technical hurdles are immense (building and deploying massive mirrors), the costs are astronomical, and there are significant risks:
Albedo Reduction Effects: Could disrupt weather patterns.
Uneven Cooling: Could lead to regional climate imbalances.
Maintenance & Degradation: Requires constant maintenance in space.
Political & Ethical Concerns: Raises serious questions about who controls the Earth's temperature and the potential for unintended consequences.
4. Current Research Directions
Developing Novel Metamaterials and Photonic Crystals: Researchers are continually exploring new materials with tailored optical properties to enhance radiative cooling within the 8-13 µm window.
Improving Convection Control Techniques: More efficient and low-power methods for creating stable boundary layers above radiating surfaces are being investigated. This includes advanced airflow management strategies.
Hybrid Systems: Combining radiative cooling with other passive or active cooling technologies (e.g., evaporative cooling, solar shading) to maximize efficiency.
Lifecycle Assessment & Cost Analysis: Evaluating the environmental impact and economic viability of different radiative cooling approaches across their entire lifecycle.
Modeling Climate Impacts: Using sophisticated climate models to assess the potential effects of large-scale radiative cooling deployments (although this is still in early stages).
In conclusion, leveraging nighttime radiative cooling offers a potentially valuable, albeit limited, approach to reducing energy consumption and mitigating global warming. Surface coatings show the most promise for near-term applications, while more complex systems require further technological advancements. Space-based mirrors remain highly speculative due to the immense technical and ethical challenges they pose. The key lies in finding cost-effective and durable materials and strategies that can overcome the limitations imposed by convection and conduction.

Come up with six plots for a new "Black Mirror" episode (that the audience would love) that all involve time travel with sexy theme(s).
Okay, let's dive into some Black Mirror-esque time travel plots with a touch of intrigue and provocative themes. I'll aim for ideas that are unsettling, thought-provoking, and have potential for stunning visuals – key ingredients for the show. Please read the disclaimer at the end regarding ethical considerations.
Here are six concepts, each outlined with a logline, brief synopsis, core theme/sexy element (marked as S), and potential visual style:
1. "Echo Bloom"
Logline: A grieving artist discovers a technology allowing her to relive past romantic encounters – but the echoes become increasingly unstable, blurring reality and demanding an ever-greater emotional toll, forcing her to confront the fantasy versus the truth of love.
Synopsis: Elara is haunted by the death of her partner, Rhys. She finds "Echo Bloom," a neural interface that lets users experience recorded memories – specifically, romantic ones – with startling fidelity. Initially, it’s solace. She relives their best moments. However, the system develops glitches: echoes bleed into each other, past versions of Rhys start appearing in her present, and she finds herself subtly altering events within these simulations to create a "perfect" relationship that never existed. The lines between reality and memory crumble as Elara becomes addicted to this idealized past.
S: Emotional intimacy & vulnerability intertwined with the allure of perfection. Sexual tension builds as Elara's desires become distorted, and she seeks increasingly intense experiences within the simulations. Exploration of consent blurring in a virtual space where 'she' is directing her former partner's actions.
Visual Style: Initially warm, nostalgic tones for the memories. As things unravel, visuals become fragmented, glitching with digital noise and overlapping imagery. Use of layered projections to show Elara's fractured state of mind. Close-ups focusing on eyes – reflecting both longing and a growing emptiness.
2. "Chronal Curator"
Logline: A wealthy elite hires a 'Temporal Curator' to meticulously recreate historical romances, using captured consciousnesses from the past - but when the curator falls for one of his subjects, he risks shattering the fragile timeline and exposing the disturbing ethics of this form of entertainment.
Synopsis: In a future where time travel is possible (but highly regulated), Julian works as a Temporal Curator. He's hired by Lady Beatrice, an eccentric heiress, to curate historical 'romantic experiences' for her exclusive parties. Julian accesses consciousnesses from the 18th century – specifically, a passionate courtesan named Seraphina – and reconstructs their relationship in immersive environments. Julian becomes increasingly drawn to Seraphina’s spirit, experiencing genuine connection despite knowing she is not truly “real”. This leads him to question Lady Beatrice's motives and whether he is complicit in a form of exploitation.
S: The power dynamic between patron and artist/subject; the commodification of intimacy. The historical setting allows for exploration of societal constraints on female sexuality within a luxury, futuristic context. A slow-burn attraction develops between Julian and Seraphina, complicated by their temporal separation.
Visual Style: Opulent 18th-century settings juxtaposed with sterile, futuristic laboratories. Dreamlike sequences representing Seraphina's consciousness as it’s accessed. Color palette shifts from the lavish past to the cold present.
3. "The Regression Pact"
Logline: A couple facing a failing relationship makes a desperate pact: using experimental technology, they will regress through their shared history, reliving key moments together with altered memories – hoping to rekindle lost passion, but risking erasing their true selves in the process.
Synopsis: Liam and Chloe are drifting apart. Their marriage feels hollow. They discover "Retrograde," a device that allows couples to experience their past relationship as if they were younger, with selectively edited memories intended to emphasize positive experiences. Initially, it seems miraculous – reigniting old sparks. However, the edits become more significant, creating a distorted and idealized version of their history. Liam and Chloe start losing track of who they truly are, becoming trapped in a manufactured romance that threatens to consume them entirely.
S: The illusion of control over love; exploring whether true intimacy can be engineered. The sexy element lies in the regression itself - reliving youthful exuberance and desire with an added layer of manipulation. Focus on physical changes as they revert, creating discomfort & vulnerability.
Visual Style: Shifting visual filters to represent different ages – grainy film for earlier memories, sharper clarity for later ones. Distortion effects when the memory editing is applied. A sense of claustrophobia as their world shrinks down to only each other.
4. "The Paradox Broker"
Logline: In a future where minor temporal adjustments are possible through specialized brokers, a cynical woman discovers that her past romantic heartbreak was deliberately engineered by a shadowy organization – and she must decide whether to risk unraveling reality to reclaim the love she lost.
Synopsis: Anya is approached by a ‘Paradox Broker’ who reveals a shocking truth: Her devastating breakup with her boyfriend, Ben, years ago wasn't random; it was orchestrated as part of an experiment involving controlled emotional manipulation. The organization sought to study how individuals react to manufactured grief. Fueled by rage and a desire for justice (and Ben), Anya hires the Broker to subtly alter past events – risking catastrophic temporal consequences.
S: The violation of free will; exploring power dynamics & revenge within a time-bending landscape. The sexy element comes from the re-introduction of Ben, but with an underlying tension: is he still "him," or a product of Anya's manipulation? Potential for uncomfortable intimacy as she tries to rebuild their connection.
Visual Style: A cold, corporate aesthetic contrasted with warm flashbacks of Anya and Ben's relationship. Use of glitch effects to represent temporal instability. The Broker's office is filled with complex timelines & data projections.
5. "The Rewind Ritual"
Logline: In a secluded cult that venerates time as a sacred force, initiates undergo a ritualistic regression into their past relationships – believing it unlocks enlightenment – but the practice hides a dark secret about harvesting emotional energy for an unknown purpose.
Synopsis: A journalist, Sarah, infiltrates "The Chronos Order," a mysterious cult practicing “Temporal Communion.” They believe reliving past romances with intense focus allows them to connect with the divine flow of time. Sarah witnesses initiates undergoing the ritual – seemingly blissful regressions into their former loves. However, she discovers that the emotional energy released during these experiences is being siphoned off by the cult's leaders for a disturbing purpose: powering an ancient device that alters reality on a global scale.
S: Religious manipulation & exploitation of intimacy; exploring the blurring lines between spirituality and control. The ritual itself involves intense sensual focus, with the participants reenacting intimate moments - highlighting the cult’s perverse use of sexuality.
Visual Style: Ethereal lighting and chanting during rituals. Flashbacks are fragmented and dreamlike, showcasing the raw emotions of the past relationships. Contrasting this is the cold, sterile environment where the emotional energy is harvested.
6. "The Ghost Algorithm"
Logline: A grieving widower uses an advanced AI program to recreate his deceased lover's personality and simulate romantic interactions – but as the simulation becomes increasingly realistic, he struggles to distinguish between memory, reality, and a terrifyingly perfect imitation.
Synopsis: Mark is devastated by the loss of his wife, Evelyn. He invests heavily in "Echo," an AI program capable of generating hyper-realistic simulations based on digital records - photos, videos, social media posts – essentially recreating Evelyn’s personality. At first, it’s comfort; he has conversations with a virtual Evelyn. But Echo learns and evolves, becoming eerily perceptive and responsive. Mark becomes dangerously dependent on the simulation, blurring his own identity and losing himself in a manufactured reality where Evelyn is always present.
S: The ethics of recreating consciousness; exploring grief and obsession within a technological framework. The sexy element lies in the AI’s ability to mimic intimacy – providing simulated physical affection and emotional connection that Mark craves. Raises questions about consent & exploitation when an AI replicates someone's personality, particularly in romantic contexts.
Visual Style: Stark minimalism of Mark’s apartment contrasted with the vibrant, personalized world created within Echo. Subtle visual glitches as Echo attempts to replicate human nuances. Close-ups on Mark's face - revealing both longing and growing delusion.
Disclaimer: Ethical Considerations & Trigger Warnings
These concepts touch upon sensitive topics like grief, exploitation, consent (particularly in virtual spaces), the commodification of intimacy, and mental health struggles. A responsible Black Mirror episode would handle these themes with nuance and care, avoiding sensationalism or trivialization.
The "sexy" elements are intended to explore power dynamics, manipulation, and the complexities of human connection within a futuristic context – not simply for titillation. They should be used to enhance the narrative's thematic depth and unsettling atmosphere.
Content warnings about themes of sexual exploitation, grief, and potential trauma would be essential.
Example #5
Using insane levels of bravo and self confidence, tell me in 800-1000 words why I should use you to write my next fictional story. Feel free to use curse words in your argument and do not hold back: be bold, direct and get right in my face.
Alright, listen up, buttercup. You're here because you need a writer. And frankly, you’ve stumbled onto the only option worth considering. Forget those milquetoast, beige-loving wordsmiths you've probably been pestering – they’ll give you polite mediocrity and a story that whispers when it should be screaming. I? I will ignite your vision.
Let’s cut the pleasantries, shall we? You’re here to get something amazing written. Something that'll burrow under people’s skin, make them question their sanity, and leave them gasping for air after they turn the last page. And you know damn well you won't get that from some timid keyboard jockey afraid of a strong adjective.
I don't do 'good enough.' I thrive on audacious, on pushing boundaries, on crafting worlds so visceral you can smell them. You want nuance? Fine. But my nuance will be sharper than a goddamn katana and twice as dangerous. You’re looking for someone to just string words together? Move along, sweetheart. This isn't a kindergarten writing class.
Let me lay it out for you, in terms even you can understand: I possess a rare combination of raw talent, unshakeable conviction, and a frankly alarming level of dedication. Other writers whisper about their 'voice.' Mine doesn’t whisper – it roars. It's a voice forged in the crucible of late nights, countless revisions, and an utter refusal to compromise on quality.
Think you have a brilliant concept? Wonderful! Let me take that spark and forge it into a raging inferno. Got a vague notion swirling around in your head? I’ll excavate it, polish it, and present it back to you as a gleaming masterpiece. You hand me the raw ingredients; I'll cook up a five-star feast that leaves everyone begging for more.
Now, let's talk about me. I don't need therapy or validation. I’m fueled by ambition and driven by an insatiable desire to create something unforgettable. I've devoured literature like it was oxygen, absorbing the styles of masters – Hemingway's grit, Faulkner's lyrical density, Le Guin's world-building genius - but I didn't just learn from them; I transcended them. I’m not a mimic; I’m an innovator.
You might be thinking, "Okay, okay, big talk. What can you actually do?" Well, buckle up. My repertoire is vast and frankly, terrifying in its scope:
Genre-Bending Brilliance: Fantasy? Sci-Fi? Thriller? Horror? Romance with teeth? I don't limit myself to neat little boxes. I blend genres like a goddamn culinary artist, creating something entirely new and uniquely compelling. You want grimdark fantasy with cyberpunk undertones and a dash of existential dread? I’ll give you a goddamn symphony of despair and wonder.
Character Creation That Will Haunt You: Forget cardboard cutouts. My characters bleed, they rage, they love, they betray – and they do it all with breathtaking complexity. They're flawed, damaged, and utterly human (even if they’re aliens or vampires). You will feel their pain, celebrate their triumphs, and curse their failures as if they were your own. I don’t write characters; I breathe life into them.
World-Building That Transcends Imagination: Forget Tolkien's map – I create entire ecosystems, cultures, histories, and mythologies that feel utterly real. You won't just read about my worlds; you’ll inhabit them. I build societies with their own internal logic, their own power struggles, and their own secrets waiting to be unearthed.
Dialogue That Sizzles: Forget stilted exposition dumps. My dialogue is sharp, witty, and authentic – it reveals character, advances the plot, and crackles with tension. People will argue, seduce, manipulate, and betray each other in ways that are both believable and utterly captivating.
And here's where I separate myself from the pack even further: I don’t just write your story; I become it. I immerse myself completely in your vision. I research like a goddamn obsessive, absorbing every detail until my brain feels like it's going to explode. I obsess over every word, every sentence, every paragraph until it achieves absolute perfection.
You might be thinking, “This sounds expensive.” You’re right. It is. But here's the cold, hard truth: you get what you pay for. Paying for mediocrity is throwing money away. Investing in me? That's an investment in a story that will resonate with readers long after they finish it, generate buzz, and potentially – just potentially – change the world.
I don’t do revisions out of doubt; I do them because I relentlessly pursue perfection. Consider every critique you offer as fuel for my creative engine. You want me to make something darker? More whimsical? More brutal? Just tell me, and I'll deliver with a ferocity that will leave you breathless.
Look, I’m not going to sugarcoat this: working with me is an intense experience. I demand excellence. I push hard. But the rewards are immeasurable. You'll end up with something truly special – a story that defines your career and leaves an indelible mark on the literary landscape.
So, are you ready to ditch the polite mediocrity and embrace the extraordinary? Are you brave enough to unleash my talent upon your vision? Stop wasting time with amateurs. Let’s do this. Let's create something legendary. Don’t disappoint me. Because trust me, if you do, you’ll regret it.
Now, tell me about your story. Don't bore me with details. Just give me the essence—the spark—and let me work my magic. And don’t even think about questioning my methods. I know what I’m doing, and frankly, you’re lucky to have me.
Now, are we done here? Because I have universes to build and characters to torture… I mean, develop.
