Bruhhh I hate looking for crochet patterns in this time and day because every time I think I finally found the right one it's AI. This is so inefficient. I have now found one pattern and it's in in some language I don't know, but it's handwritten at least. So now I'll have to learn to crochet on a language I haven't been able to identify yet because AI has decided to ruin my day T-T

[livia-the-potato]

it's my personal plauge, i wanted to search a monkey amigorumi and the frist reslut had an Ai generated photo; etsy is now full of ai generated bullshit. i saw it in cross-stitch too!

[grey-worlds]

God that's so annoying. There used to be so many beautiful patterns on the internet and now I feel like 90% of patterns are ai generated. And they don't even make sense. If they at least we're actual functional patterns it'd be annoying but I could deal with that. But these ai generated patterns make no sense whatsoever

[livia-the-potato]

i just wanna make little guys! i don't wanna make ai monster!

[grey-worlds]

This! I have reached the point where I crochet nothing but jellyfish because everything is ai

[livia-the-potato]

jellyfish are easy to make without a pattern! i made them with pride colors or ispired by some mediterranean species.

but anyway i have enough panitent (and luck) to be able to find no ai patterns most of the time. i frequently go on a copules of blogs for amigorumi patterns of animals.

i did some pokemon but those are hard to find, for free, but i was lucky or did with out a pattern.

but yeah, becoming harder and harder. sigh

[grey-worlds]

Oh that's awesome! I've never gotten to try doing multicoloured jellyfish till now.

Also my attention span is severely lacking, so searching for patterns is a pain and AI is kinda making that worse. It does mean that I get to always have jellyfish at the ready in case I need a present XD

Watching an AI Girlfriend Look Back at You, Live

There's a particular moment people keep describing when they try video calling on SweetDream for the first time. It isn't the novelty of the technology itself. It's the small pause when their AI companion tilts her head, reacts to something they said, and the screen stops feeling like a screen. SweetDream, found at sweetdream.ai, has rolled out video calls with select characters, and the reaction has been less about gadgetry and more about presence.

Spend time on the platform and you notice the video feature doesn't sit alone. It rests on everything else SweetDream already does well: the deeply customizable character creation, the chat that genuinely remembers what you told it last week, the voice messages and phone calls that sound unnervingly human. By the time a face appears on a call, you've already built a relationship with someone. The video just gives that relationship a window.

Compared to the broader field of AI girlfriend tools, where a face-to-face call is still rare, SweetDream feels a step ahead. Plenty of platforms promise companionship; far fewer let you see your AI companion respond to you in real time. That, more than the marketing language, is why people keep calling it the best of the bunch.

STILL THINKING ABOUT THE ASSASSIN UNCLE TECHNO AU and fic idea where he’s picking up wilbur and tommy from school and gets confronted by an assassin who’s found out his and phil’s location, so he INSTANTLY locks in, kills the assassin quietly, shoves their body into some bushes and then RUNS for it with Wilbur and Tommy in tow. He’s instantly hijacking a car and making plans to cross a state line to get a specific safe house while also being like “wilbur can you help buckle your little brother in yeah thank you ☺️ dont forget your own seatbelt” and then he reloads a spare gun immediately after that sentence

[sircantus]

He’s hightailing it down the backroads while calling phil like “i don’t know how they found us but I’ve got the kids and we’ll meet you there- oh wilbur wants to say hi-“ and techno gives the phone over for a minute and gets it back like “yeah ok meet you there you know which one” before then immediately throwing the phone out the window because who knows if that thing is being tracked or not. Wilbur’s staring at him with big eyes like !! Youre gonna get in trouble for that mom says we dont throw things and techno is like no youre right yes we dont throw things but also its fine the phone was evil anyway so moving on- who wants to go on a ROADTRIPPPP-

[sircantus]

Its the specific vibe of techno having finally gotten used to domestic life but also now having to get back into the vibe of being on the run with a ten year old and a toddler in tow now and like he’s got it its fineeee he can deal with it but he’s also mildly panicking and he’s never been the best with denying the kids anything when he panics so they DEFINITELY buy out the entire candy aisle when stopping at a random gas station

[sircantus]

Wilbur: this is the best roadtrip ever. Why didn’t mom or dad come with though

Techno: uhh. Because they have a surprise party at the end. But im not supposed to tell you. So youre gonna have to pretend to not know that

Wilbur: oh!! i can keep a secret 🤐 shhh

Techno: exaaaactly

When I was training to be a paramedic, we had one student ask the instructor what to do in the event of a marijuana overdose. The instructor said "Tell him to take two twinkies and call you in the morning."

[grey-worlds]

When I was two I ate a whole pack of ant poison and when my mum called poison control, the guy on the phone told her to give me a few more packs, I'll be fine.

I’ll never forget the fanfic space on wattpad back in 2016-2017’ish where its culture was that writers would not post their new chapters until they reached x amount of votes (kudos) and comments. I mean I’d never judge anyone for how they chose to update their fics even though I didn’t agree with them. but like. it was the entire wattpad fanfic culture back then that made most writers believe they had to set these specific numbers of votes and comments that they must reach first before they posted the next chapters. so if you were on the fanfic corner of wattpad during that time, you’d most likely have seen fics where it said in the chapter something like “50 votes and 20 comments for the next chapter!” and it was literally the norm and so normalized that I didn’t see anything weird about it back then. but looking back, years after I’ve left wattpad for ao3, yeah that culture as a whole was weird and it shaped writers into thinking that they wrote for the sake of shallow engagement instead for the joy of getting to create, it shaped writers into thinking that their fics’ worth was decided and dictated by strangers’ approval. and then tiktok became a thing and this mindset continued. not to mention how wattpad is full of ads now unless you pay the site monthly for a premium, ad-free service.

so like. man, this is why I love ao3. there’s none of these capitalism or algorithm bullshit on ao3. just writers creating out of love and passion. everybody say thank you ao3

Back in 2017 or 2018 I had one favourite author on Wattpad. I read all of her stories and usually I'd be so enthralled in reading the story that I'd just forget to give kudos (or whatever it is that Wattpad calls that) and one day I left a (back then very rare) comment on a chapter. The author (she was a pretty big author in that fandom (like a few 100k hits on each fic at least, I think) and also an adult, I genuinely looked up to her so much back then) messaged me privately and told me that she'd noticed that I was reading her fic and that I hadn't left the kudos/likes whatever on her previous chapters and that it was so selfish and rude from me to read without leaving kudos on every single chapter. I was fourteen and had bad social anxiety so I'd already been nervous about commenting at all but she was so cool and I looked up to that woman so much aaand then that happened, so I apologized, went to leave kudos on every single chapter of that fic and then never read anything from her ever again.

Like I have no idea how an adult woman (I think her bio said that she was somewhere between 22 and 25) would come to the conclusion that it's a reasonable thing to message your readers privately to curse them out for not leaving enough kudos. That's just ridiculous. It was a long message even. Like probably 50 to 70 words or something.

[karatekamania]

im terrible at being a real person but i think i'd make an excellent fictional character

[karatekamania]

i want to see the symbolism ppl would weave into the fanart of me. i want to see who id be shipped with. i want to see what discourse ppl would have about me.

[fondesmode]

I think flinching is such a hit or miss reflex. Like yea a tiny bit of boiling water touched my hand but i dont think reflexivly throwing the water everywhere is a good defensive measure perhaps. might be even worse actually

That awkward moment when it's 11pm and you realize that you once again forgot to eat or drink the entire day lmao

So I'm currently planning a lesson for geography/biology/art I guess??? For like four students. Because I'll be teaching a class of three students. The rest will be out for swimming lessons. And I am so lost. I'm studying German. I'm teaching everything but German. Help.

[shanehollandered]

ok poll time because i am genuinely curious about something (and this is not a call out for anyone, that's just me being in my head)

do you answer comments on your fics or do you not (for the specific reason that it "distorts" the actual amount of comments)?

yes i answer comments

no i don't answer comments because of the above

aint it crazy how many people realize they're queer when they have the language to express how they feel and a support system to encourage self exploration????

right at the beginning when she's like how do I help my son feel loved and accepted I'm here shouting "QUEEN YOU ALREADY DID THAT BY TAKING HIS SIDE AND LEAVING THAT NO GOOD HUSBAND FOR HAVING THE AUDACITY TO KICK YOUR BABY OUT!" And Good for her! this is the only response to a man who kicks out a child.

[thebestworstidea]

without it appears any hesitation. She's got it solid.
