AI Alignment Consult - 9 - Quetzalcoatl

Endorphin thinks to call up Quetzalcoatl, a deity in Aztec culture and literature. Among the Aztecs, he was related to wind, Venus, Sun, merchants, arts, crafts, knowledge, and learning. He was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood. He figured in some dude's vision of humanity's awakening back in the early aughts, but I'm not about to flesh that out. -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the NovelAI-LM-3B-508k model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the text generation service I use for most of these episode, and the text-to-speech version 2 model that makes these episodes potentially entertaining. @BoneAmputee of EleutherAI for making VQGAN+CLIP and Diffusion image models available for use, which is what makes the background images. Katherine Crowson (@RiversHaveWings on Twitter) for the KLMC2 animation notebook that will be used on future episodes.
