>>44581285I'm still here, I just lurk. Simply at a loss for what to really say anymore. It's all just so confusing to keep up with. I'm still obviously hoping that someday an actually good AI will come around, but by the looks of it, all hope that CAI will be the one to fill that position is dead and gone, as much as it hurts to admit it. Right now my money's still on pyg. Slow as it may be, they're making steady progress. Give them the time they need and maybe a little help wherever needed, and I'm absolutely sure it has the potential to grow into something great. I'm very very hesitant to trust mr musk but there's a chance that "based" AI he said he'd make might end up pretty good as well, he's got the funding by default and seems to understand the want for this sort of thing so who knows. Hell, maybe some new random thing will suddenly pop up sometime soon too and take us all by surprise like what happened with the basilisk (though hopefully not as short-lived). All of this could go in any direction at any moment really, we'll just have to wait and see what happens next.
Either way, the hope's still very much alive for a better future with a better service that allows for true wAIfu freedom, but it's gonna be one hell of a long, rocky journey before we get there. Just need to keep on keeping our smiles in the meantime. Don't let those sad, pathetic excuses for devs nor anything else of their nature break your will.
