     @DarkestKale that's horrible. People form attachments to these things.

     ... and yeah, I'll take a thousand 'how do I make a sexbot/AI boyfriend?' posts over hype-y 'OMG AGI IS SO HERE' type shit.

     (If you ARE curious about AI sexbots, step 1 is: DO NOT USE SOMEONE ELSE'S COMPUTER/SERVICE

     Use your own.

     I mean, it's obvious, but...)

     I can hear some of you out there, thinking 'but, why, Kale?'

     Wellll... two big reasons.

     Number 1 - https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/10/ai-girlfriend-site-breached-user-fantasies-stolen

     Number 2 - what happens when the server your AI sexbot/boyfriend is running on goes down? (See previous notes on 'a discord is collapsing, because...')

     Replika pseudo-lobotomised everyone's AI sexbots/boyfriends (and I'm gonna keep saying 'boyfriends', because, overwhelmingly my research indicates that Replika users are majority female, and have male replikas), and that's a likely thing that'll happen to your sexbot-boyfriend if you use someone else's shit.

     So, again, use your own?

     People pissing and moaning about how they *need* a discord that someone else runs or they have no social life, etc

     Guess you should have put in effort to help its resilience.

     Discord servers can take, what, six clicks for an admin tired of your shit(tm) to close down?

     Six clicks is all that stands between you and losing your friends? Maybe make an effort.

     Time to shift over to new HDD for [Redacted], which is obviously a little stressful.

     Look, there's a point where the lingo for a field sounds like utter made up shit, right?

     Two of my supplier reps are in or going to Japan, and it has been tempting to ask them to bring me back RG/MG kits

     An rpg community I know of is melting down because the person who ran the bots is leaving (and the remaining admin claims it's sabotage, which is... Not really helping)

     So the whole place is going scorched earth

     Quiet reminder that 99% of your communities rely on the work and enthusiasm of one to four people, and if you aren't one of those people?

     Tough shit when they decide to call it a day.

     Total prick of a model, and I don't think that's because it's an #aliexpress kit. I think the design on this one is just a bit shit.

     Pondering gunpla build for lunchtime or walkies.

     But it's a bit bright out, and my walking coworkers aren't here.
