So far, pulling runes has been my favorite. I'm very new to divination in general and I've been learning about the runes extensively. I realized that I am proficient with this form of divination when my Christmas present was hinted at me. It was the first time that it had ever been this clear. Previous pulls seemed to bring up very vague answers. Until now.
So I work with a set of 33 runes with a blank 34th. On the 23rd of December, my husband went and got Christmas presents. He didn't want the kids with him for obvious reasons and their friends were coming over anyway. It was cause for celebration because everyone's finally vaccinated in their friend's circle. I had an urge right before they arrived to pull a rune.Β
I pulled PeorΓ° (α). PeorΓ° is a rune present in multiple different rune alphabets but in the Anglo-Saxon runic alphabet, it is projected to mean "game." I thought this was a reference to what my children would be enjoying later on with their friends. My husband ended up getting home while the kids were playing and brought me a gift bag. I opened it and it was a Nintendo Switch. With the game Animal Crossing New Horizons and all of the accessories necessary. It wasn't until the next day that I realized what the runes were telling me.Β
I felt another urge to pull some when I was getting ready for work on Christmas night. (I'm a server.) Apparently only two were necessary. Ing (α prosperity) and Ur (α’ the auroch: strength). Yeah, I made good money and I worked my ass off, that's for sure.
On New Year's eve, I asked what to expect for the new year. I pulled three runes, as it felt correct. Cweorð (α’ a Northumbrian rune that means "the funeral pyre"), Gar (αΈ the spear), and Yr (α£ the bow). I am slightly uncomfortable. Β
Β So I feel like over the course of the several months have been working directly with these runes, this might be my method.Β

"If you want a robot to do it, it has a great chance at success because the robot has the ability to learn from other robots and it will learn to use their knowledge. If you want the human to learn from robots, you have a chance to learn more than you would from humans." β Robert
If you are looking to create an AI that will learn to read your brain, or even better learn from a person, I would say that this would probably work better for you than the previous methods.
If you're interested, I have some more ideas.
The most common approach for me is that of a simple "go to" button. This button will tell the AI how many times it has been in the game. This button is usually used when you have a lot of time, so that it will be more than likely to go to a certain number or number of places and do something useful, such as pick a fruit or a flower. This button will be used when the robot will try something, or even try something that isn't useful.
If I'm looking to make the robot more useful than I was, then I will need to make sure it can do things like:
"Pick a tree. I want a robot to be a picker. It's a pick that's very hard, and if I don't pick a picker I can't use the pick."
If I have a pick that I'm really looking for, and a bot I don't know is not available to pick, then it would be a great way to try and make it less useful.
I would like a bot that can be used to make a pick that can do some useful things (say a lot).
For instance, I might want a robot that has a good sense of direction.
I want the AI to be able to pick up objects and find a tree or flower that I want. I want it to know that the tree or flowers are not in the way that it would like.
I would also like the AI to have a good sense of what I am looking for.
For example, a bot can be very clever at picking out things and looking at them with the right amount

its generic, but i love tarot. Pulling a card helps me ground and gather my thoughts after a difficult day and gets me in the mood for meditation.

I love reading tarot, but I also like making my own divination tools, especially oracle cards! I find that it's easier for me to get accurate readings with things I've made myself.
