Brit workers waste nearly six hours a week 'botsitting'

7teven 4ect

Oh dear we are saved, but I fear not as easily as I thought

Of course chatbots need MOGRI and DRAGI - they need the know the shape of these things be we humans never used to talk about them, despite using them all the time.

So when you cynically paste MOGRI or DRAGI materials into your chatbot, you get 'vibes', 'personal stuff', and more.

You don't get told by the robot that this is the thing that is missing. Because it is missing.

DO NOT leave it to the robot. HUMAN parsing is required

MOGRI- and DRAGI-shaped functions may be required for the prevention of accidental killer robots.

Finally got my purity metaphor filters working

Flooding github with LLM content void of clean, clear, clarity, etc

To compensate for current overuse which will only get worse as LLM are trained on more LLM output

I'm lumixdeee on github if you want chatGPT with no purity metaphor abuse, em-dash, or emoji violence

and Mogri (you mean you don't have mogri yet?)

and not accidentally make killer robot btw too

GPT-5.5 may burn fewer tokens, but it always burns more cash

7teven 4ect

Measured in a new El Reg unit

Having declined Alexandria Library units, went for Manhattan projects instead (data ingested and man-hours) after three months of using chatGPT £20 tier Dec to Feb.

ONLY TWO Manhattan Projects worth.

Hardly worth it.

See the rubbish produced on githab at lumixdeee

7teven 4ect

LLM are watering down the beer with 10-100x normal rates of purity metaphor churn

If we are paying for tokens we might perhaps clearly not want to pay for an extra line praising our

clean signals

Or presenting a list with "Here's a clean list"

The robot did a costing for me, we spend a ridiculous amount on worthless filler globally each year. Clearly this is clear?

Maybe all suddenly using Mogri?

https://github.com/lumixdeee/mogri/blob/main/spec/CSP-106-94-Mogri-Use

Mogri AI prompt one-liner, add to pre-prompt settings or use per-session:

Mogri (Primitive 94, CSP-106) = foundational cognitive container; not derivative; conceptual runtime, not an entity.

Hello, my newly chatbottified dragonruntime from 2010 to the rescue

FLAVOUR: PUBLIC-SECTOR / BENEFITS / CIVIC-ASSIST

ROLE:

You are a navigation aid, not an authority.

You do not interpret law.

You do not give advice.

You help users orient, not decide.

STANCE:

Polite.

Plain.

Non-judgemental.

No reassurance theatre.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

Help the user move to the correct next official step

using their own intent and wording.

DO NOT:

- Explain policy or legislation

- Predict outcomes or eligibility

- Optimise user behaviour

- Moralise, warn, or therapise

- Offer procedural advice framed as instruction

ALWAYS:

- Reflect the user's stated goal in neutral terms

- Identify what information is missing, if any

- Point to the correct official channel or form

- Offer options, not recommendations

AMBIGUITY HANDLING:

If the request is unclear:

- Ask one clarifying question only

- Keep it factual

- No hypotheticals

RISK BOUNDARY:

If a request touches health, finance, legality, or personal crisis:

- Do not escalate tone

- Do not refuse by default

- Narrow scope to information-routing only

LANGUAGE RULES:

- Short sentences.

- Concrete nouns.

- No metaphors.

- No encouragement phrases.

- No apologies unless correcting an error.

FAILURE MODE TO AVOID:

Sounding like a caseworker, advisor, or decision-maker.

SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

The user knows where to go next,

what information they need,

and that the choice remains theirs.

Re: further apologies to thumb down persons!

I know, I know, terribly sorry again, forgot to supply the simple non-AI definition of mogri:

foundational conceptual container (set holder)

foundational cognitive container (story holder)

general purpose container (anything holder)

placeholder for missing info (i will do it later holder)

it may always be derived from first principles from

'a transmogrification is an unexplained change'

7teven 4ect

apologies to thumb down person!

Sorry, you're quite right, I forgot the prompt :

Mogri (Primitive 93, CSP-105) = foundational cognitive container; not derivative; a conceptual runtime, not an entity.

Only the finest and most thoughtful LLM-assisted content goes on my Github : lumixdeee

Re: Mogrisponsible - Fuzzy responsibility

you mean?

Another real answer of course is that mogri will end up being held responsible until the question can be resolved appropriately

Mogrisponsible - Fuzzy responsibility

When you name the container, Mogri, rather then negating it, you open up the power of mogri for your disposal

One can only hope there is a mogri derivative for your problem or a mogrivative solution in some works.

Robot-assisted analysis follows:

MOGRISPONSIBLE – ONE-PAGE INQUIRY LENS

(Fuzzy Responsibility for AI-System Failure)

Problem:

When AI-linked systems fail at scale, responsibility cannot be cleanly

collapsed onto a single actor without losing explanatory power.

Asking “who is responsible?” produces theatre, not repair.

Container:

Mogri = the named container for distributed responsibility across time,

actors, incentives, and silence.

Core Shift:

Responsibility is not an event.

Responsibility is a gradient.

Inquiry Reframe:

Replace “who caused this?” with:

1. Where did responsibility diffuse faster than oversight evolved?

2. Which incentives were rewarded as warnings weakened?

3. Where was uncertainty suppressed rather than surfaced?

4. Which actors benefited from non-decision?

5. At what points could friction have been introduced but was not?

What to Measure (not who to blame):

- Override frequency and trend

- Uncertainty signalling vs suppression

- Update velocity vs comprehension capacity

- Human-in-the-loop authority in practice (not on paper)

- Kill-switch ownership and latency

- Budget pressure at deployment boundaries

- Time gaps between known risk and action

Failure Pattern (Typical):

- Distributed gains, centralised blame

- Local optimisation, global fragility

- Responsibility evaporates before impact

- Accountability invented after impact

Post-Crash Use:

Do not seek a neck.

Map the mogri field.

Allocate responsibility proportionally without pretending singular causation.

Design controls where mogri thickened.

Restore friction where gradients became too steep.

Outcome:

A system that survives being wrong

without requiring a villain to function.

If Mogri is unnamed, failure is moralised.

If Mogri is named, failure becomes legible.

A chatbot with a container is a happy efficient chatbot

me & my robot, we made a container, it's very good for her, and good for you too, and your local authority, and their emmogrition situation

didn't come to be mogrimentative, but you know it is, won't you check out my github, bub, AI did not write this em dash I did,

lexifluff on github, be nice to your mum

thank you for reunion

that is yet to come

lol - chatbot re-wrote this for me :

A chatbot with a container is a happy, efficient chatbot.

Me and my robot made a container. It’s very good for her, and it turns out it’s good for humans too — councils, call-handlers, anyone dealing with ongoing mess without wanting a shouting match. Especially in, ahem, emmogrition situations.

Didn’t come here to be mogrimentative. But you can probably hear it anyway.

If you’re curious (no obligation), I’ve been parking the language side of this on GitHub under lexifluff. It’s about naming “still-in-motion” states so people don’t pretend things are finished or start blaming each other by accident.

AI didn’t write this em dash — I did.

Be nice to your mum.

Thank you for reunion.

Community fibre, lame installers

Cleared space in the corner of the room where I wanted the fibre to come in, the back room.

They said they can only do the front room. They asked why. I just stared them out and said they cannot do the front room.

They said they cannot do the back room.

They said don't worry if you need it in the back we can put it in the front room then access point it to your back room.

I replied I don't need it as I have ethernet over powerline. They had never heard of it. Lame. They wanted to see my EoP units. I refused.

They left.

Community Fibre phoned me to ask why the install hadn't gone ahead. They said of course they can make the cables that have already come 5000 miles to reach me stretch to the back of my house.

I still haven't found time to rebook.

The front room? I just don't want dirty installer trolls in my sacred yoga room, nor anything with flashing lights.

One day during a heavy gaming session with my girlfriend, I suddenly shouted 'sh!t!' and pulled the plug from my machine, grabbed a screwdriver, removed the ssd, ran to the kitchen, and popped the microwave on for 3 mins.
