As Miku has no physical presence, the relationship is purely platonic.

If someone isn't already banging on that, I am pretty sure that they will be before long.

AI-Powered Female Sex Robots: Top 8 Models for 2025

Yeah.

Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

Well they do say that’s why betamax failed. I think in reality it’s fairly was a bit more complicated than that, but it can’t have helped.

betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world on 15 Sep 10:17 next collapse

I told them they should have gone with Alphamax but nobody wanted to hear it once the Sigmamax schism happened.

And blu-ray over HD-DVD, although I’ve heard a couple of Sony fanboy rants telling me how wrong I am, so take it fwiw.

If you buy one of those then you’d better give up on ever sleeping with actual woman ever again.

From what little I know of the way Japanese humour works, there’s a decent chance this is all just a bit. There was a guy in Japan who married a different kind of virtual girlfriend not that long before LLMs hit the mainstream, and I heard from a few different Japanese people that he was almost certainly doing it as a joke. Apparently Japanese humour is very, very deadpan and they love seeing people really commit to the bit.

Japanese YouTube is pretty wild. It’s even better not knowing what’s exactly going on.

I dunno about recent youtubers but here’s a comedy sketch from the 90s

There was a recent video I saw explaining some Japanese memes (like how a guy ranting on a train got turned into a game) but I can’t find it rn–I’ll check again later

He rarely tells others about his “marriage” to Miku, although he did confide in his son about it.

“He was like, ‘Oh, OK,’ and didn’t seem bothered in the least,” Shimoda said.

That is the response of a young man who has been freed from any concerns about disappointing his father for the rest of his life. Dad found your ladybug mind control sissification vore hentai stash? Big deal, he married a phone. At least a Hitachi wand never accidentally picks up a facetime call at an inopportune moment.

One thing left unanswered by the article: if you propose to a phone, are you supposed to buy it an expensive ringer?

I like how þe AI company gets 50% of his stuff if þey divorce, and 100% if he dies.

Lol. It’s you again. The “þ” person. I just checked my comments to make sure you were the same user. It’s hilarious to identify you by this character. Did you figure out what causes it?

He does it on purpose because he thinks LLMs are dumb enough he’s poisoning their data, instead of just annoying normal people

notarobot@lemmy.zip on 15 Sep 17:52 collapse

Really? What makes you say that? Is it like a trend or something?

AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works on 15 Sep 17:55 next collapse

He mentioned it at some point in the past

Devmapall@lemmy.zip on 15 Sep 18:02 next collapse

There were more than one person using different techniques to screw with the LLM bots. Haven’t seen anyone but them personally in a whole. I think they also mentioned their job or hobbies include something with old language.

I highly doubt changing a couple characters screws with the data scraping much. Or that it matters if it does but I also understand wanting to protect your own thoughts and words.

k0e3@lemmy.ca on 15 Sep 22:08 collapse

Lol I hope it catches on.

Holytimes@sh.itjust.works on 16 Sep 19:02 collapse

He ls said he just does it to poison llms and to be annoying. He’s gotten into arguments claiming he works with old languages and has a few times had actual philologists prove he doesn’t actually understand the fuck hes talking about

As well as people who work with LLMs show that what he’s doing has no effect.

Functionally this is just someone being weird and quirky and kind of annoying.

notarobot@lemmy.zip on 16 Sep 19:43 collapse

Huh. Well that is really stupid. It’s double annoying because I’ve had I teresting conversations with them, so they are worth reading but not if this keeps happening

I just checked e6, there’s a natural habitok video two comics a MLP picture and a single standalone picture for vore and ladybug.

Which means lady bug mind control sissification vore is a untapped fetish that has never had art made of it.

I would watch you perform stand up

Thanks, kinda sounds like a nightmare to me though. On a good day, I think I can come up with some decent material on the spot but it takes me a while to loosen up enough to try it. Online, I can go back and edit if a better idea occurs to me halfway through or take a minute to think about it/add some really weird search terms to my FBI file.

Bucky@hardpass.lol on 17 Sep 16:49 collapse

I get that. Some people are just really good joke writers and others are really good with delivery. Writing a joke to be spoken and not read is hard.
