The Whole Point of SweetDream, in One Sentence
If I had to sum up the purpose of SweetDream: it lets you create a companion who feels like she was made for you, and then actually treats you that way. You shape her looks, personality, and voice at sweetdream.ai, and from then on she remembers you and shows up for you.
That's why the quality matters so much here. Realistic chat, beautiful AI photos and videos, human-sounding voice and phone calls, even live cam moments. The point was never gimmicks. It was making the connection feel real enough to look forward to.
The concept of being 4 months clean from ai...
idc what you guys think I'm proud of him
Several AI services (chatbots š«©) are purposely addictive, the same way people can become addicted to gambling or shopping. Weāve literally seen in real time how ChatGPT has caused psychosis and delusions in people; it can have a huge affect on someonesās mental stability. Just because it isnāt substance-based doesnāt mean that doesnāt count as an addiction, and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive. Im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark!
AI chatbots can fuel emotional dependence and blur boundaries. Emerging research highlights significant mental health risks. Here are import
Large language models often prioritise agreeability over truthfulness to the detriment of users
AI addiction includes the overuse of AI chatbots and companions, often leading to adverse psychological effects.
Some articles to back my statements, and this isnāt even mentioning about the predatory chatbots who do this on purpose
Then I'll mention the predatory chatbots who do it on purpose! Character.ai is one of many AI chatbot websites that're designed to be addictive.
None of the signup methods require a password. It only takes email and birthday. Minimizing time on the signin or signup screen makes it harder for people quitting to avoid relapse.
"Characters" on the website will send messages "on their own" (prompted by the site) to try to invite inactive users back after as soon as 1 day of inactivity. This is likely to force FOMO, or make users feel more like they owe the bots a response. Unhealthy attachment stuff.
Account deletion is an essential part of every service that should go smoothly, right? Right? Wrong. It takes 1-2 weeks for a Character AI account deletion to be finalized, and account deletion requests have a high chance to not go through if you're not using the app.
Rephrasing: People leaving Character.AI are pushed to download the app in order to delete their accounts, if they haven't already. This makes it harder for people to quit and stay gone. Failing to quit an addiction makes it harder to quit successfully in the future, so this feels like a feature, not a bug. On top of that, the delete account menu reads like this:
Tell me THAT doesn't sound like a bad ex. It's a carefully crafted yet hostile environment to those who are already addicted to the technology. I am so so SO happy, downright delighted that they've managed to quit, and I wish the best for others in recovery spaces or considering quitting as well!! While AI addiction is an emerging condition, there are already therapists and other mental health professionals trained to help people plan to quit and do so a bit easier. (If anyone seeing this is in need of them, there are several tumblr Communities here devoted to quitting, too. They provide a mix of advice, venting spaces, and proof that you aren't alone.)
Today is a good day to stop using ai (or any other substance, product, or service actively harming you).
Now is a good time. We WILL absolutely cheer you on.
reading this deposition that just got dropped where someone sued musk and ohhhh my god it is this funniest thing ever . i can see why his lawyer tried to keep this confidential . theyāre both maybe the biggest idiots . this is like ace attorney
Musk is being sued for falsely suggesting a 22-year-old Jewish man was part of a neo-Nazi brawl.

HELP ME .
wow. ok.
genuinely first two pages he says that he thinks benās lawyer is the one who is actually suing him and admits he has no clue what the lawsuit is about .
doing a reread now this is so cunty
goddamn .
fun fact: the Mr. Bankston here is Mark Bankston, the same lawyer who absolutely ruined Alex Jones during the Sandy Hook trial.
absolutely AMAZING way to end a music festival.

You know technology literacy is dying because I saw this meme with 76k likes
F11 the full screen button? Youāre scared of the full screen button? F10?? It opens the menu bar???
Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document š
If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but āļø don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you
Never stop learning+ Never stop sharing what you learned
I collaborated with the Human Artistry Project to make this strip alongside other web cartoonists to make the point that āStealing isnāt Innovationā when it comes to A.I. usage. It seems to be doing numbers on instagram and elsewhere, so you may also read it here, tumblr.
May the discourse that ensues be long and unhelpful.
the only reason I go on Reddit now is to find these bad two sentence horror posts. they're great. they're bad. but they're great.

it's that time of the year again my dudes

I mean who could resist that evil grin?
Rewatched end of the line, still great.
If you stay up late to hang out with friends I donāt think you should have to be tired in the morning. I think it should be a freebie
We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife
I disagree. We need more feminine protagonists who are sweet and demure while carrying stress and grief with quiet dignity. Being a female protagonist does not mean you have to be a man. Be a woman in the best way.
What planet are you on where they're making all the female characters messy dykes and can I come there

if you've ever noticed that indeed barely has any jobs on it lately, it's NOT just you. they started charging companies to post job listings on there and it seems to have significantly decreased the amount of posts (at least anecdotally).
other options besides linkedin and ziprecruiter:
remote rocketship (remote jobs around the world, updates daily)
hiringcafe
welcome to the jungle (fka otta)
swooped
somewhere (remote jobs)
glassdoor (also allows you to view and post on an anonymous "bowl" for your coworkers to discuss job conditions if you're at a big enough company)
you can also search company site listings with these:
site:boards.greenhouse.io "your position here"
site:*.myworkdayjobs.com "Job Title" "Location"
site:apply.workable.com "Job Title" "Location"
Iām reading this book about the changing arctic and the author stayed with the Nunamiut people of inland alaska for a while and talked to this high school kid who was like āugh I hate going to school in the spring I wish I was hunting caribouā and I thought that was charming. you often hear about people who are devoted to preserving their traditional culture and knowledge but itās rare to hear about someone whoās invested in the old ways out of pure teenage selfishness. school is lame and hunting caribou is awesome
i am. enamored.
The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and theyāre frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.
Iām sorry but thatās thinking way too small, hear me out:
We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.
Think about it⦠whoās the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a momentās notice?
It aināt Kermit
Miss Piggy tied to the mast while Statler and Waldorf heckle her from the sea
But who is the single human cast member in this tale? Who gets to put in an Oscar-worthy performance alongside the Muppets and what role are they to play?
Thereās no single human, everyone is a Muppet except for one scene. Circe, played by Janice, turns Odysseusās crew into humans who still behave animalistic and are all played by Academy Award winning actors.
