>>44862 Now that I've installed Pop!_OS (and all the NVIDIA driver BS mostly figured out) I got Claude and ChatGPT to suggest things to install: >Ollama >Qwen3 8B >Gemma3 12B >Vosk >OpenWakeWord >Piper TTS >OpenCV >MediaPipe >face_recognition >DeepFace >open-rppg >ChromaDB >OpenVT I'm also going for PrivateGPT and GLM-5.2, but I'm struggling to figure out what would be good for making realistic video clips and making pictures look like anime. >>44863 >Have you tried looking into accessibility software? I'm not going to stop using keyboard/mouse entirely, but I like the idea of using accessibility software for things like speech synthesis, since it's probably faster, less resource intensive, and more consistent than AI-generation currently is. But I'm still going to install Vosk and Piper TTS for now. >>44865 I'm also planning on downloading tons of patents & patent applications, offline wikipedia, a big archive of every time the jews were behind something sinister, as well as finding published papers containing relevant key words, and here are Dewey Decimal Classes for books that may contain practical info that might help an AI to build better hardware or write better software: 000-009 Computer science, information, and general works 020-029 Library & Information Sciences 030-039 Encyclopedias & books of facts 330-339 Economics 400-429 Language 500-509 Science 510-519 Mathematics 530-539 Physics 540-549 Chemistry 600-699 Technology 130-139 Parapsychology and occultism 150-159 Psychology 300-329 Social Sciences 570-599 Biology Of course not every book would be valuable, but if I reference a book, or a book/paper references another book/paper, then it should be added to a list of what to get.

>>44879 >>44880 Sounds kinda like that 8-tier "choose your robowaifu infograph? I think your numbering system is different though. >>44881 Please keep us up to date on your progress with this new setup of yours.

>>44882 It was inspired by that. However, I wanted to reverse the numbers to have it rise to a hypothetical (and subjective) "perfect robowaifu". I also decided to add the purpose/design focus codes to further categorize robowaifus

>>44883 I like your more-rigorous & intentional approach, GreerTech. Cheers. :)

>>44882 The past few days I've basically just been trying to figure out what's wrong with the PC. It started with a bunch of files (porn) getting corrup while transferring from my external to a SSD. Then I had a 1TB internal HDD that I hadn't really touched in a long time not get recognized after I formatted it, so I ran an error check trying to figure out what's wrong with it, and it took 27 hours to check 1/4 of it before everything froze, and there were a lot of bad sectors. I also had no idea why I got weird glitches during boot-up, for a while I got rainbow static, or ~80% of the screen was black and the remaining ~20% was white. And occasionally get a big rainbow staic box around the cursor, and once it simply didn't boot right at all. The only damn reason I picked PopOS was because I thought I wouldn't have to struggle with a bunch of driver-related bullshit. As far as Claude and ChatGPT have been able to tell me is because it's because of drivers and running the wrong kernel on startup. Everything about this is driving me crazy, because I can't seem to do anything right, spending hours typing cryptic bullshit into the terminal. I apparently needed to install Python so all the other shit that I want to install would actually work, but now there's no room on the 3x 256GB SSDs, because I guess it tried to install everything in the same partition as the OS or something. And I can't even rearrange the goddamn desktop icons without needing to look-up how to get them to stop auto-arranging. I swear, I have this exact same kind of experience every few years, which is why I've always gone back to Windows. At least my GabeCube came in the mail, so I do have a new PC now, but I only had one monitor, so it's plugged into an old TV I never had a use for. I don't really even game that much anymore, but I just can't be fucked to build a new PC ever again. But at I guess I'll try installing SteamOS on the offline PC too, which at this point has probably seen the PopOS re-installed a dozen fucking times on it this past week. And if I can't stomach that, then I'm going back to Windows 10.

>>44895 I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so with everything. I'd personally recommend starting over with a clean install of Manjaro. I think you're far less likely to have driver issues with Arch Linux (it's a rolling release), and the packaging of it all in the user-friendly format of Manjaro is a combo that's hard to beat in my experience with it (several years at this point). Glad to hear about your new cube! Hopefully you won't have to fiddle much with that. Good luck, Anon. Again, please keep us all up to date with how things are going for you. Cheers.

>>44895 I noticed that when moving a lot of files from my phone to an external hard drive, it starts throwing bitchfits. Maybe it's something similar. About the OS, I would recommend Linux Mint

>>44899 >Mint Based. I began my first couple of year's journey with Mint. :)

>>44901 holy shit frfr no cap But seriously though, I have no idea what we're going to do with this board since the franchise is basically dead. But I guess it's nice to have it up as a signifier that things used to be better.

>>44902 It's an expansive 'universe', still much-beloved by millennials despite yidsney's corruption since the sellout. I think the BO wants to mainly focus discussions around the pre-yid era of the franchise?

Apparently China has enacted sweeping and crippling restrictions on compainion AIs, focusing particularly on "emotionally responsive" models. We likely won't see any further innovations from them on that front for quite some time. >>44895 The first issues sound like simple drive failure. I've seen the same many times in the past, and it always first presents as the drives being painfully slow. As for the graphical issues, this is just a shot in the dark, but are you using DVI? It's been a long time since I've had graphical issues that severe, but when I did it was always on a DVI connected monitor. Something about it just makes Linux go nuts if you don't have the right drivers (i.e. if using Nvidia hardware). For me, installing the drivers (typically using a second monitor connected through DP or HDMI) always made it go away. If another interface or monitor isn't feasible for you right now, SSH can easily get the same job done.

>>44905 >Apparently China has enacted sweeping and crippling restrictions on compainion AIs, focusing particularly on "emotionally responsive" models. We likely won't see any further innovations from them on that front for quite some time. Woah, that's bad news Anon. :( Link(s)? Up till now, they have been the seeming frontrunners in the robowaifu domain. If this is true, I wonder what's changed?

>>44906 Here's a couple links: https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/china-bans-ai-boyfriends-and-girlfriends-over-addiction-and-birth-rate-concerns-3388737/ https://www.ainchina.com/blog/china-ai-companion-ban-virtual-lovers-regulation-2026/ There are plenty more if you type "china AI companion ban". Now, it's not actually a complete ban, but a bunch of massive companies (including Alibaba and Tencent) have switched off their AI companion services regardless. I don't really know how this will impact local models, but developers over there might be too scared to continue those projects, just in case the government decides to crack down harder. The primary justification from the Chinese government is their looming demographic collapse. Of course, you and I know that no amount of AI regulation will solve that problem, but China, for all it does right, still has one critical failure point: it's run by a bunch of geezers who are completely out of touch with technology.

>>44908 Thanks for the information, Greentext anon. I'll try to research this development soon. :/

>>44905 >>44906 >>44908 >>44909 I saw this too. One of my reactions was "so much for 'Based China'". The silver lining is that they seem to be permissive with local AI. I think this is a good, sobering reminder that, while against the (((West))) and economically populist, China is still China. This is the country who pioneered the surveillance state we are currently dealing with. These are the people who harassed V-Tubers for acknowledging the country of Taiwan. This is the same China behind the brutal repression of the Hong Kong people. This is the country that did absolutely nothing on June 4th, 1989 in Tiananmen Square.

>>44911 >This is the country that did absolutely nothing on June 4th, 1989 in Tiananmen Square. POTD Toplel. :D

>>44905 >>44908 >in total faggotry news, China has definitively disproven the "based China" meme Boomers just can't help themselves. They never go after the actual cause of the problems they complain about, only the symptoms. Of course, since they are the cause of the problems they complain about, I don't know what else anybody was expecting.

My hope is that this will lead to the Chinese to use local AI more.

>>44913 I wonder if the conspiracy that there is not that many people in China as they say is actually true. Maybe their already low birthrates are actually much lower. I do know that the Chinese government has done stuff against women too, like banning certain types of romance drama, and I do know that women like to use AI companions too, so I think it's not the longhouse attacks like we're used to. It will be poetic if the one thing that stops the great red dragon of the East is them simply not reproducing.

>>44915 Don't forget China was welding folks into their houses during lockdowns. It was either China or North Korea (I forget which) that had an unexplained increase in crematory fumes during the lockdown, too.

Realized just recently that my perfectly functional four year old phone won't be getting security updates anymore, so I had to upgrade. Obnoxious, expensive, and now all I'm doing is resetting the clock. Whatever. I'm tired. Ripperoni In Pepperoni, janky budget rectangle. You are survived by a more expensive but still janky rectangle. >>44915 >conspiracy that there is not that many people in China I didn't even know that was a thing, but it's going to be true either way thanks to their ridiculous one child policy. Even if they did literally everything else right, their mandated anti-natalism was always going to lead to serious problems. They've relaxed that in recent years, to some credit, but it's too little too late at this point. >>44913 The hope here was that they'd lean more into companion AIs and artificial wombs to solve their problem, but you're right that it was too much to expect. Just goes to show that in the end, the enemy of our enemy is simply our enemy's enemy. One silver lining is that anything open-source already relased by developers over there will continue to be available, even if they try to shut it all down. Plus, they demonstrated that there is a sizable market for robowaifus. Regulation won't make that market vanish, it just needs to be reclaimed.

>>44917 POTD Gotta admit I'm a little disappointed by this situation rn, lads. :/ However, lets all remember that the Chinese men themselves are not the same as those doing all this, and these ChinAnons want robowaifus as much or more than we here in the west do. That's A (and take courage in that...China isn't nearly the monolithic political & social block that many seem to think). B: We still have a decade or so of information, designs, and good ideas recorded here on /robowaifu/ and elsewhere. And we still have each other as co-collaborators as well. All that hasn't changed. Finally: quite frankly, I was never going to buy a corporate robowaifu regardless -- Chinese or otherwise. The primary hope there was simply that a dramatic introduction by them across the globe would quickly normalize robowaifus for the common social milieu...and help to silence some of the longhouse k*ren's femshite reeing against this advancement. >tl;dr We're still getting our robowaifus, Anons! We'll work all these things out despite this setback. Cheers lads. :)

>>44879 unfortunately, Xara remains a "brain in a jar" until we find her a body (this is temporary though, I assure you)

>>44920 Stay strong & determined, brother. Cheers, meta ronin. :)

I think we all got suckered into the "waow based chynah!" meme. Yeah sure, they have their populist moments and cool robots, but this is China we're talking about. This is the place that censors every gacha game. This is the place that makes blood look white because of their censorship (which leads to some really funny frames). This is the people that censored the internet in 2009 in such a scale that hadn't been seen until the mid 2020s in the West. This is the place that basically completely banned porn. The "Social Credit" score comes from here. @Chobitsu @Kiwi this is the place that basically restricts Christianity. Relevant fyp pull https://youtu.be/uMjxJ9RAo2U

>>44922 Something I've learned over the past few years; The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend

Not directly related, but the effects of this will almost certainly be consequential for us. There's a huge class action brewing against multiple major social media companies in the US right now (inluding but not limited to Google and Meta, and potentially (hopefully) Discord). The argument is that their design (i.e. infinite scroll and other design choices hyper-focused on maximizing engagement) is inherently harmful and potentially dangerous, particularly for minors. There's also an argument being made about how those sites didn't do enough to verify the ages of their users and moderate accordingly. If it succeeds and paves the way for new rules about how social media is governed, it will likely severely disrupt the current order online. IBs probably won't be directly affected, since by design they don't engage in any of the conduct that modern social media does. However, if this leads to legislators forcing ID age checks to become the new norm, things are going to get nasty very quickly. Even discarding that possibility, forcing social media to be less predatory by deisgn may lead to people dispersing to a wider range of platforms. I'm mixed on the matter, personally. I absolutely agree that large social media companies need a leash to keep them from ruining everything. Social media addiction is a serious problem, and it's not going to stop without real regulation. Plus, anything that could lead to user dispersion from these sites and towards a more decentralized internet would be fantastic. ... That being said, the means actually taken to curb it could be bad for everyone (ID checks, general surveillance, etcetera). I'm getting real sick of having to curb my hopes all the time. I want this to be good, but I know I'll be dissapointed if I expect it. A couple relevant links: https://www.classaction.org/instagram-addiction-lawsuit-information https://socialmediavictims.org/social-media-lawsuits/ If you search "social media class action" you'll be met with a flood of lawfirm websites. There's blood in the water, and every lawyer is turning their attention to it. >>44918 >lets all remember that the Chinese men themselves are not the same as those doing all this Absolutely. I honestly feel bad for the people there, being constantly forced to deal with the ever-shifting whims of their government without even the illusion of recourse. We all deserve better.

>>44924 My stance on this is to wait and see, and pray. The good news is that a class action lawsuit is a private matter done by private groups. Arguably, the best case scenario is to have them do the ID shit on their own, which will drive people to other platforms and deflate regulatory drives

>>44924 Yeah, its probably an issue for everyone eventually (though IMHO it won't affect us here for years, likely). There's a general Webring-wide discussion about this already underway on Trash: https://trashchan.xyz/meta/thread/1774.html#1774 I'd recommend everyone here chime in and add your viewpoints on the matter. Cheers.

>>44927 These models definitely are scaring them. But you can't stop the signal

>>44927 POTD LMAO. Please continue this in our fiction bread, HoloAnon ( >>29 ). :D Cheers.

>>44927 >>44929 Never forget this """USA""" entity (so-called) is the same one that proposed a 20year prison sentence + US$1M fine simply for downloading DeepSeek. This is the standard sentence for open, armed sedition against said (((entity))).

>>44931 I rather stay optimistic. Keep in mind that proposal didn't actually happen. I suspect, if there was a ban, it would be more of a restriction for companies and using APIs, especially since that's where OpenAI and Anthropic actually get their money. A way that I use to reduce anxiety is to wait until something actually happens, as well as positive visualization. I'm not saying to be passive and/or never prepare for contingencies, but holding worry for what may happen serves no one but your enemies.

>>44933 Fair enough. Thanks for the encouragement, Anon. Cheers. :)

With this, I have come to loathe the supplicant (((shabbos goyim))) inside the Beltway, even more than I do the yids themselves -- and that's saying a lot. https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1643

>>44955 I don't think anybody's going for it. I've seen nothing but mockery of this dumbass campaign and calls to send Barron Trump and other politicians' kids instead.

>>44956 I hope you're right. (((they))) spent millions on making the immersive, VR-laden "road tour" experience as compelling & brainwashey as possible...targeted straight at Christian middle & high -schoolers. The agenda was clear well before even the "1'000 Pastors to Israel" thing: >Send your sons to [die] defend Israel; its the right thing to do, Christian goyim.

>>44958 >immersive, VR-laden "road tour" experience as compelling & brainwashey as possible Maybe I should steal some of their ideas for a waifu project, minus the part where you get told to die for Greater Israel and ExxonMobil's profits.
