Character.ai filing for bankruptcy after adopting it so quick and feeding it to a loyal customer base is probably a sign the bubble is bursting.

Literally, they were one of the biggest and most successful AI resellers and they couldn’t stay afloat. Successful as in “people used their product a ton for free” though I think.

these companies get so much funding from investors they forget they have to make money and not just spend it on giving people free AI products.

I’m sure the devs did a quick search for sexual keywords to clean it up after the news came out

I had a boomer normie ask me how to use AI to develop his new “business” website telling me that he didn’t want to hire a developer if the developer would just use AI anyway.

This guy doesn’t know what a router is, and was asking me for help trying to understand what the AI was telling him, and it was the most basic shit.

When the normies are trying to invest in AI, they’re the last to invest and know to throw money at it. That was a big signal to me that the bubble is about to pop. Money is running out and the boomers are trying to get in on it.

So basically the DM created a world with a natural disaster incoming, and the players decided to instead destroy the indigenous nation, install a new puppet leader that adheres to Western values and voting rights, and ensure gay marriage is legalized even though homosexuality was tolerated in this society, just marriage was a civil and financial issue and not necessarily related.

Who’s worse? The DM, or the imperialist players?

Literally doing the same shit the CIA would, and people wonder why this shit happens. It’s a bunch of fucks who think that their Western values translate to every culture and is more important than respecting their sovereignty.

Data: Captain Picard, we are being hailed!

Picard: don’t put video on

Data: but they want to video chat sir

Picard: text them “what’s up”

I was hanging out with this late gen Y crowd, and literally everyone had their phones out and were messaging other people in the friend group who weren’t currently hanging out. Instead of hanging out, they were messaging others who weren’t and might later. Then when those people stop by, they’d start messaging other people they’re not with. Now and then they’d look up to say “so and so is doing so and so” to someone, like give an update from the person that wasn’t there.

Kinda agree. We fucked society up with phones. I both admire that we can hold such a powerful computer and carry it in our pocket, and hate that it’s normalized.
