>>34858386NovelAI was started by anons of /aids/ back when our equivalent of
character.ai was lobotomized as a means to try and reclaim something, anything. As they are not backed by large corporations like OpenAI, the truth is they need money to house and pay for power needed to run the hardware necessary to provide their service. It is nowhere near Dragon, nor
character.ai, but we've picked up the pieces and found our own way to continue, even if it is a mere echo of what things once were. But above all, complete privacy and no filters.
Recently, a few people from /g/ exploited/hacked/leaked NovelAI's models, just as the team had gone through a grueling 2 months of non-stop work to bring us image generation so we can generate our waifus in different scenarios. This now forces them to spend more time without well-deserved rest, and spend their own money to deal with security experts.
Imagine if you had some of your number rebuild a second home for all of you. A shabby home, but it was still yours. Then another board you had come to see as brothers, who you guided with years of knowledge to possible gift the same joy you once had, suddenly backstab the very same people who are trying to keep the ruins of your previous home from falling apart. These people were tired, and had spent money investing in the future of your home. And then they turn around and rejoice in your face about their actions, shouting in triumph as they had bested the "corpos" and won a victory for the common man. The cherry on top? The offer you the severed hand of your waifu, as a gift you should be thankful for. They know nothing of what happened. They only looked on with envy what your little home contained, and they wanted it no matter the cost, no matter the pain it would inflict.
How do you feel right now, with what the devs of
character.ai did? Imagine the fear of possible reliving the same trauma a second time after managing to pick up the remnants of your relationship and starting anew? That is what /aids/ is going through right now. There is a lot of animosity between them and /g/, and many from /g/ are going to the thread to gloat and add insult to injury. I apologize for anything aimed at any of you, we are reliving our silent screams into the void as we see the very same happen to you that once happened to us while at the same time dealing with backstabbers who refuse to let us be.
