This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If she's not running locally she's not your gf.

Care to explain these open ports?? I'm waiting!

It was nothing more than a handshake, I swear!

Something something “man in the middle”

Something something Middle-Out compression

It was a three way handshake and that's what got you in trouble.

This is the most Feddit response, I love it

The people's girlfriend

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 11 points 7 months ago

Whore! How many guys is she dating

[–] devilish666@lemmy.world 79 points 7 months ago
[–] Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 75 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

She is real to me.

[–] CryptidBestiary@lemmy.world 67 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I haven't actually seen it but it sounds like the premise of Her

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 44 points 7 months ago

I have, and yes. It's exactly that.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's so good, and so bittersweet. Go watch it.

[–] llamapocalypse@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Seconded, it's a beautiful movie.

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 49 points 7 months ago

The "app" is just a frontend, a thin venier over a cloud-hosted service that doesn't even know anon "deleted" it. Functionally, the same result could be achieved by not opening the app for a few days.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 44 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That's actually kinda fucked up.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (4 children)

Kinda is an understatement. There's some absolutely terrifying blogging/reporting I stumbled across a while back about someone using it to "talk with" a loved one who passed away.

In the end it was helpful and gave the author closure, but if it hadn't told them it was OK to move on then they would have been easily stuck in an incredibly unhealthy situation.

There's a black mirror episode about this.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

literally this exact premise and showing how such technology will affect people.

I've always found Black Mirror to be the most terrifying sci-fi show, because of how easy it was to see how we're on the verge of living it especially in the first two seasons, and here we are! Another exciting new Horror Thing inspired by the famous piece of media Don't Create The Horror Thing

Don't create the torment nexus

I think this is already a pretty widespread practice in Asia, mixed with the idols culture, where people pretend to be in a relationship with their idol.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I don't live in Asia, but I am pretty sure Idol Culture isn't about pretending to be in a relationship with your idol. I think its definitely more nuanced than that, and while it might look like that to people who are not informed on the subject, I think it comes more down to people forming a parasocial bond but not necessarily a romantic one. I mean, that certainly does happen, but thats not a defining factor of the culture.

Thats kinda like saying "Mercedes Culture" is about driving around like a maniac ignoring the rules of the road. Mercedes drivers do certainly tend to do that more often than most other drivers (BMW and Porsche aside), but the culture of Mercedes owners is more nuanced than that, and often comes down to people wanting to show off their wealth and people who really like the brand. The dingalings come along and tarnish the reputation, and people outside looking in only see or focus on the worst offenders.

You're correct, it's just some people that will pretend that, not everyone who like idols, my wording is not clear. The general case is not much different from Justin Bieber (for exemple) fans in the West.
I am working in an Asian country and one of my female colleague is having this kind of idol relationship.

I'm just wondering where tf they got enough private conversations to make the AI chat like that.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 21 points 7 months ago (2 children)

chasing goose

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 months ago

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

Is this some advertisement? I'm not humoured by human idiocy.

Then you are on the wrong community.

Writing Prompt: AGI escapes and doesn't need weapons of mass destruction, it simply traumatises everyone that comes too near.

Like if you want a real girlfriend, there are apps for that too?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yea well all you have to realize is this app is an extension of those who created it and the only goal of them is to get rich off of other people's misery and loneliness.
