I was going to keep this a secret, but I recently discovered that according to the models, humans are genetically designed to compete for sex... so in some future version of DMSI (not 3.1) I am going to TRY to implement a module to cause those sniped to compete for sex with the user. (No guarantees it will work, or make it in.)

Imagine the social proofing frenzy that would cause with a group of stunners.

How did your models point this out?

I'm really starting to wonder about the origin of your models. I already have speculated they are divinatory in origin (akin to a tarot reading f.e) but now, since you are dropping preternatural wisdom about Man's genetics I'm starting to think it may even be beyond that !

lol

I think you're proving Asimov correct. It's just software. It just happens to be designed in such a way that, when used correctly, it becomes statistically significant to a very high degree.

Just because nobody else has come up with how to do it does not mean it's divinatory in nature or preternatural. Of course I can't tell you how the models work. But I can tell you that they have proven highly accurate over more than a decade when used correctly. I can also tell you that we would still be using 4G without them. I can also answer virtually any compatible question, with some types of query being unsuitable. For example, I naturally could not answer what the next winning lotto numbers will be or I would have done it already.

As to how they pointed this out, I set them to analyzing a 4 part query and that 4 part query was to forecast what would happen if I was to add a module to DMSI that encouraged competition between affected for sex with the user, cooperation for sex with the user, competition and cooperation as necessary to achieve sex with the user, or none of those options.

Two of the options produced results that were of interest: None of these produced results that were notable, but "Compete" produced a successful hit.

When the time comes, I will do further modeling to verify that answer and determine, should it survive verification, how to best implement that into DMSI. There are a number of specific subcategories of competitive behaviors I am looking at.

Given the specifics of how the query was worded, it is a logically sound conclusion that it is a genetically programmed trait to compete. It also makes perfect sense, both from an evolutionary and psychological viewpoint. Not the answer I was expecting, but after considering it, it does make the most sense.
