        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.

      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.

        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.

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

      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?

              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.

                Actually RP and by proxy ERP is basically a perfect fit for what LLM are good at.

                Good RP is basically nothing but improv and rolling with a functional scenario no matter how weird it gets. Which LLM are fantastic at doing.

                You arnt worried about accuracy or memory after all. Just that it can string together coherent English and play pretend with you. Literally the ideal use case for a LLM.

              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.”
