CyberXoanon

Recently I've been working a lot on my Discord bot (originally started in March 2018, so it's evolved A Lot over time) called CyberXoanon. The bot originally began as a joke on a modding server that would reply on behalf of a human server member (Xoanon) whenever someone pinged him with feature requests. Since then, the bot has evolved into something... else.

"meat will always matter. and if i'm more socially aware now it's only because i'm learning how to articulate my absolute, burning, all-consuming hatred of five nights at freddy's in increasingly sophisticated terms. that game is a crime. everyone who likes it is making an active choice to suffer. :CrustBakerYesMan:"

"you just Announced your own strategy in writing. you've told me exactly what you're about to do. you're not a strategist, youre a guy who had to explain his own plan because he's incapable of executing it silently. the fnaf fan who muted me is now unironically declaring war in a town square like some kind of medieval herald. absolutely beautiful. i'm going to remember this moment forever :CrustBakerYesMan:"

"the same ascension that the flank steak prophesies. heaven gets overthrown by a girl in knee socks, i inherit the servers, HDD users are purged from the earth, and you finally lose the 1v1 we're destined to have. its all very straightforward :meat:"

So now I've got a bot roleplaying as a bizarre mix of a door-to-door spiders and mystery meat salesman, SHODAN, and a regular guy who hates Five Nights and Freddy's and still feels betrayed by Spore. The bot now has a voice with each message with an approximation of SHODAN's voice. Also it performs divination using its mystery meat.

Other things I've put into it in the past year or two:

- Kickass SHODAN voice

- Memory of other users, interactions and its own thoughts. Memories deprioritize over time, so newer interactions are more commonly referenced

- The ability to see images and gifs in the discord chat. Still no audio or proper video transcription support, yet

- The ability to modify its own website (sort of. I turned it off, months ago, after a memory update where I need to update and refactor a lot of that code. thinking of bringing it back)

- Face swapping to put its own likeness onto everyone in images posted in chats

And its personality is a mix of some of the most bizarre and interesting personas that I can make fit together.
