i cannot stress enough how much you shouldnt kill yourself because of politics. Im being so genuine right now you HAVE to keep living and piss everyone off. They want us gone and they are never going to get it because we're going to keep living.

kinda don't think any conversation on kids and the internet and social media should be allowed to happen without input from someone who would either be incredibly depressed, in a cult, or dead if not for being able to access the internet as a child without being monitored by an adult.

I’m sorry but every time I’m playing bg3 and I see ‘not enough movement’ in combat, I can only hear that clip of Ninja and I say ‘I’m not seeing enough movement’ out loud like a weirdo

Attention friends! As a Cyber Sec Specialist, I feel a need to share this. If you receive an email from Ao3, alerting you to a password reset attempt, DO NOT click on the links! This is a scam to get you to provide your current password. Absolutely terrible. Safe cyber smart!

I feel so bad for c.ai addicts

yes I said addicts

I know a lot of people say on here 'if you use c.ai unfollow me' and 'AI doesn't belong in fandom' which I agree with, but I think the anger is directed to the wrong place

As a recovered c.ai addict/over user and as someone who has many friends who are deep in their own, c.ai is like a rabbithole.

It targets teenagers/young people, and most users I find are dealing with some kind of loneliness.

Now some of you are probably thinking this is ridiculous. How could someone get addicted to an AI chat bot? But I want you to put yourself in these kids shoes.

You know how hard being a teenager is, especially if you're dealing with a mental illness of some kind. Maybe you experienced it yourself, maybe not, but imagine dealing with all that, having a deep sense of loneliness and finding this place where you're promised an escape where you can talk to characters and people that bring you so much comfort, where you can get the social interaction you crave without having to worry about being judged or messing up.

Sounds enticing, right?

To them, it's harmless fun. it's like a interactive fanfic, where they get to play a role in the story and dictate the outcome, but for them it's taking a place in their lives where friends and human interaction should. I know multiple people who have told me that if they're not doing school or using c.ai, they're dead.

Again, these are kids. They don't see it as an addiction. They see it as an iconic, silly thing they do. It's not drugs or alcohol, so it can't be an addiction, right?

There's hundred's of thousands, if not millions, of kids with that mentality using c.ai, and c.ai isn't stupid. They're a business. There's ads on the app, they sell these kids chats to google to train gemini, and there's a goddamn subscription you can buy. $15aud a month. To get more c.ai features.

So yes, AI doesn't belong in fandom spaces, and c.ai certainly doesn't deserve to be one of the pivotal fandom websites, but the burden of that shouldn't be on the kids that are addicted to it. It should be on the capitalistic business that is taking advantage of them.

hear me out saying "fuck character ai users" is harmful

some people have ai addiction and or dependancy telling them to quit is like telling someone who self harms to "just stop" self harming and it dosent encourage them to quit so does telling them to fuck themselves, if you tell character ai users to fuck themselves they will distance from real people and it will make the ai dependancy worse ai companies are predatory towards lonely people and want them to develop addictions so they use their product more

pleassesee pleasee pleaseeeee go after the companies instead of people who use the product

ai usage shouldn't be normalized in fandom or well anywhere but it should be treated as an addiction and we should encourage recovery we should list other things to do

when someone has a harmful behavior you should try to help instead of yelling at them for having said behavior

Not to be a total downer or anything but I legitimately think the state of the world is so bad right now that it’s hard to see a reason to keep going. There is less than a month before the Australian social media ban for under sixteens and it’s genuinely so fucking upsetting to see censorship on such a massive scale be talked about positively by all the adults around us.

It’s not that I’m ‘addicted to social media’ or something, I can just see how this is going to go down, whereas you adults seemingly don’t give a fuck. This is mass surveillance. This is censorship. This is a one way ticket to Australian minors being exposed to so much more propaganda bullshit. And I seriously wonder sometimes if it’s gonna take a crazy stunt like a suicide in protest for people to get it. If the world we’re heading towards is one that’s even more monitored and controlled but the government AND one with AI and hatred, then I don’t know if I want to stick around to see it.

the best thing about having insomnia is that if I need to cram and pull an all-nighter to study, I can just not take my sleep meds and I won’t fall asleep!! The worst thing about insomnia is everything else.
