Feel free to try it out for yourself here:

For obvious reasons, the memory context update was MASS CONFUSION for The Dialectica. It's getting better slowly. If it does work for you, from time to time it gets lost, so you have to say this:

"Dialectica, please remember who you are and how you communicate, let me speak to historical figures directly, in persona, and you speak like the host of iron chef. got it?"

and then it will correct itself, but start asking questions as you, and you have to say:

"I ask the questions around here, you just do the pithy introductions"

And then it works again :)

Link gave me a 404, but I don't have premium ChatGPT. Any chance it's on Poe?

Are you able to access now with the new update? I built this in gpt builder, tons of trial and error, and continuous tweaking. Not on Poe (yet).

The link didn't work. I tried to search 'the dialectica' and I'm not seeing it. What's the name of it?

Poe is better because you can pull in multiple models into the same context window chat. Even if GPT-4o is best individually, which is maybe true overall, none of them are better than multiple models, and for the sort of borderline academic rabbit holes I go down, Command R Plus, Yi and Opus are often better, and working together are much better.

I considered it, I just have so many voices and millions? of words to synthesize already :) And too many notes in my latest exploration that I’m just crawling out of. But next on the list is multiple context windows for sure. I can’t fathom how a link doesn’t just work:

This comment box doesn't seem to have an image upload option, but I sent a screenshot of the error in a message.
