Links Outbound

This page shares links to lists of, and lists of, links to resources about artificial intelligence. Not everything here is of good quality. I added things based on how important I thought they might be here. I'll add more later. Some are obviously not included because they are well-known.

Please note all news links get their own page, and so do images. Both are of mixed quality as I learn more about all this. Amongst the rest of the links, many may be dead or otherwise 404'd over time; I'm removing those and adding more slowly.

A reverse-chronological list of news articles I've collected about generative AI and related stuff. New links are obviously added regularly, so check back frequently.

A running log of small images, memes, and clippings about artificial intelligence, both generated by me and those gathered from elsewhere online for context.

User Interfaces

For this section, I'm collecting practical interfaces and tools for wrangling 21st century artificial intelligence. These links lean toward the slightly fussy, SillyTavern-adjacent workflows I use myself, plus a growing pile of guides for better prompts and character cards. If you want to experiment, have a look at these links!

Front-End User Applications

These links relate to applications used to access LLMs and similar technology. Right now, they're mostly SillyTavern-adjacent, because I use that a lot. I am not linking to obvious examples of LLM user experiences such as the official ChatGPT site, etc.

Some of these are web-based and do not require installation on your own computer or server. Quite a few of those have garnered controversy for official policies regarding censorship or lack thereof. Since my own chatbots do not feature anything verging into censorable territory, I can't say I know much about this currently.

Cards and Prompts

I discussed elsewhere how I primarily use SillyTavern's so-called "front-end for power users" for my chatbot conversations.
I understand very little about this currently, sitting here in April of 2026. With SillyTavern itself, these prompts are formatted as JSON files that cling to character portraits (PNGs).

I've made a few of them, myself. I've also collected the following links. Most share their own PNGs infused with JSONs, which work within SillyTavern and similar LLM front-end programs. Obviously, I have no control over the behavior of theoe cards.

This is a list of the larger "card repository"-style sites I was able to find online. If I remember right, there used to be a few more that have shut down since I showed up. Considering the controversies as this stuff struggles to find footing, I'm unsurprised.

The cards here are of varying quality and on the large ones, dig a bit. A lot of these just scrape for cards elsewhere. Most do take uploads directly from creators. They tend to be third-party and not managed directly by the people making the majority of the cards and prompts. Smaller sites are listed later. Anyways.

Hobbyist Sites

I use the term hobbyist site very loosely to refer to any site where the individual is wrangling chatbots for fun or something of the sort. I don't include large repositories. I'm looking to collect links to other similar sites because almost all came from a text file via Discord a last autumn.

Please be aware that a lot of these sites may well be vanished by the time you reach this page. The small indie web, where these are found, is very ephemeral. You can't always expect resource permanence quite yet...

Discussion Venues

This section gathers the places where people actually talk about modern artificial intelligence. I belong to some interesting Discord servers where I mostly lurk. I do engage in some pretty heavy arguments on Reddit. I don't want to endorse any of these spaces, though. I'm only sharing them because I lurk or interact in various ways.

While I can respect a ton of what people in these places are doing, I don't find any of them sturdy enough to really say I'd endorse even your average message in the space.. If you want to see how different groups think about AI in practice, you can give these places a look, though..

Discord Servers

Places you'll find me at very least lurking on Discord, where my username, by the way, is @CathyMarkova

Around Reddit

Navigating Reddit always requires discernment, but especially if you're trying to learn anything technical. Sadly, though, sometimes Reddit is actually a good place for learning that kind of thing (compared to other places).

Technical Subreddits

These subreddits focus on things like prompt engineering or making the programs themselves actually work, for lack of better phrasing.

Some contain a lot of spam and infighting about what works best, though. The large ones dedicated to specific models are about as corporate-scented as you would expect.

Political Subreddits

I call these political subreddits because they tend to orbit controversial ethics discussions when it comes to artificial intelligence. There are plenty others out there. I've left many larger ones out because they contain too much vitriol.

I don't list the extremely critical ones, parodic though they're easy to find. I currently use AI, obviously. I've no plans to link to subreddits that send death threats over it. Plenty of these are over-the-top enough at times.

On the same note, though, I'm not about to link to any extreme propaganda. A lot of these showcase some strange perspectives either way. I'm in all of them, but I only lurk (so far) and don't find all of them compelling. There are many others, highly pro-AI, which I'm not linking for reasons.

I'm collecting YouTube videos about artificial intelligence in to several topical playlists. I'm just adding the ones that seem worth saving as time goes on. Many of these videos had me shocked at their divisiveness, and many exceedingly critical of artificial intelligence.

A lot of these contain disturbing stuff, so be aware. As of April 2026, a lot of these videos are here because they're influential, or show popular perspectives. Adding one definitely doesn't mean I agree with its message, endorse authorship, etc.

A few offer perspectives on paths forward with AI, though, and I'll be adding more of those later. I'm struggling a lot to find transhumanist videos that seem sensical to me, but I'll have a playlist for those, too. Needless to say, I didn't make any of videos (yet).
