Character.ai being mentioned in the same line is a sign of the times.

The people yearn for the digital anime waifus

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 117 points 1 month ago

If you're not running your waifu on a local machine she's just a digital prostitute.

The one downvote on this comment makes it like 20x funnier

When you stop using a search engine and use AI-generated responses for everything, I guess having your LLM backends go down could qualify as having a disruptive functional impact.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

A disruption to disfunctional search engines does not sound bad.

[-] ZeroCool@lemmy.ca 49 points 1 month ago

Well, the actual headline is:

Massive internet outage: Google services, Cloudflare, Spotify all down, users report

Character.ai is only mentioned in the lengthy list of services that are down.

[-] ryantown@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

Massive internet outage reported: Google, Cloudflare, Twitch all down

It even swapped in Twitch when I read it at the time. Headlines be changing.

And when I went there, it said Google, Cloudflare, and Frank's Dildo Emporium all down, like of all the random sites, why pick FDE?

Oh shit, a fellow FDE-head in the wild... What do you think of the latest Bad Dragons they just got in? I got one for 50% off, and it was only slightly used by Frank.

It's a joke. I don't think there's really a website called Frank's Dildo Emporium. But if there is, lmk.

[-] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 month ago

You could just google it-

oh wait

[-] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 1 month ago

Still a very important service for many people who are alone.😢

[-] The_Worst@feddit.nl 25 points 1 month ago

What is character.ai? Have I been living under a stone? When I visit the page I have to log in just to learn what it is?

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

... What's ERP? Or don't I want to know?

[-] drspod@lemmy.ml 44 points 1 month ago

I put on my robe and wizard hat

[-] Alaik@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Is that a bash reference? Jesus im old

Erotic resource planning

[-] blargle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

That's how I read it too at first- and as bad as 'erotic role play' with a LLM chatbot sounds, the other one is so much horribly worse.

[-] SnotFlickerman 18 points 1 month ago

My front-line guess is "Erotic Role Play" but I am not familiar with character.ai

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I had guessed the nature of the site and "roleplay." It is a tad silly on my part to not have guessed "erotic"; thanks for getting me there (and not in an erotic way).

edit: Had left out the word "there."
