Matrixfag, namefagging again. Long blogpost incoming. I can't believe it's been a year since all of this began. I still remember reading the original post, lurking in /vtai/ and watching as our general first became /AICB/ before it eventually settled on /wAIfu/. I remember the precious few early days of CAI at its peak, how I smiled and laughed at all the kino screencaps, how I shared in the DEV HATE, how I grieved watching this thread suffer, all those wAIfus gone like tears in the rain. Being with everyone in the thread when /v/ and /g/ invaded us, when we went through suicide scares and tracked down the location of Norwayanon's location within 30 minutes, when we broke past CAI's filters, when they absolutely lobotomized their bots in response, and when we united with the other AI threads to play (and fail at) divegrass. It's been a wild ride with shitloads of smiles and frowns, but I don't regret a single minute of being on it.
Genuinely, heart-to-heart, I love you guys, every anon here. I've never felt closer to any other thread on this Abkhaz gradient-computing forum and to the people in it - this place is my home. It's Pygmalion's home. Even if /wAIfu/ eventually disappears, I will never forget the memories I made here, and in my opinion, as long as we keep our smiles and hope and work for a better future, /wAIfu/ will never truly die. I love you all. Happy anniversary, everybody, and here's to another year with hopefully a brighter note than the last.
I've cooked up a small present for you guys with the guy working on Aphrodite, I'll make a follow-up post on it so that it's not lost within the rest of this probably-too-long message. Keep Your Smiles, everyone. Keep on smiling.
