The Random Cult Generator - Maiden Voyage

The third of a three-piece cluster of generators about the catalysts of human movements. To complement the Random Faith Generator, and the Random Conspiracy Generator, the Random Cult Generator regards the people who surround themselves around the pronoia or paranoia that fuels our continued existence. Culture ebbs and flows with the seasons and the rising and passing of leaders and of the ordeals of war and nature, not to mention the uphill battles of the fight for human dignity. And the undercurrent of it all is the wonders of human connection, belonging, and the cohesion of people overcoming obstacles as one people. Cults, according to our definition of them, are movements in human history that exploit those moments in human history. For every technological innovation, there's another innovation that yields a more adverse outcome. This is the darker side of togetherness. --- CREDITS Text Generation via NovelAI's NAI-LM-13B model. Voices from the TTS v2 of the NovelAI text generation service, a product from members of EleutherAI. @BoneAmputee of EleutherAI for making VQGAN+CLIP and Diffusion image models available for use via BATbot.ai, which is what makes the background images. Katherine Crowson (@RiversHaveWings on Twitter) for the KLMC2 animation notebook. David Marx (@DigThatData) for souping above KLMC2 notebook to make use of initial images, which takes KLMC2 abilities to next level. Multi-prompt scheduling still baffles me, but I'll tackle them someday. Music by Nerd Odyssey, via Twitch-Safe playlists, safe as long as I continue not to monetize. Any voices from the text-to-speech model that might resemble persons living or dead are coincidental, which is my speculation, there's a multi-dimensional latent vocal space, there were many awesome finds, and if I use them it's because of my deep-seated respect for their work, and I think they'd get a hoot that their voice was being used to show how large language models, given the right environment, would speak 24/7 epic poems about anything if we let them.
