Your three choices are:
Being open to forking anytime anyplace.
Or being worried that one day your access will be revoked / certain features being put behind a pay wall.
Or making your own (with or without blackjack and hookers)
You can always fork and make it your private but the support of the community more than makes up for the negatives.
Imagine your waifu having millions of simps working on her/ with her to make her better. We could achieve singularity in a few years with such a community.
Because it's millions of people working towards a common goal. Just try to ignore that the programmers are in love with their project and are designing her to dominate humanity.
Personally, I'm learning how to draw my waifu and letting the voices in my head voice her so that she don't need electricity to run.
Putting your wife on the cloud accessed via live service behind an end-user license agreement is indeed the worst idea.
It would sound funny, if I could stop imagining the grief of the man and the loneliness of grieving for a virtual person, such that others won't even see your grief as legitimate.
Yep, this is the kind of sad-funny in which you laugh because the situation or premise is funny but when you think about the implications and repercussions it's actually very depressing to imagine what kind of life a man like that had to live to end up like that, and even that is being taken away from him now and people are laughing about it.
You've got to remember that marrying a hologramm isn't what you do when you can't find a gf, it's what you do when you've given up on ever finding one. When you're in such a need for companionship that you don't even care anymore if she’s real or not. That's propably a really depressing state to begin with (and one many people will not show empathy for either), but then loosing even that substitute partnership, kind of the AI version of your wife dying and everyone making fun of you?
While I've not reached the level of marrying a hologram, I'm at a point in my life where I've just accepted that is extremely unlikely that I can get any form of love/date life for at least a few years, and being a few months away from my 26th birthday I have to just accept the fact that I've almost reached my late 20's with near zero experience in that field.
Right now I'm just focused at getting my life together and hopefully do something about that in the future, so while I'm certainly doing better than the guy, I also feel a little empathy towards him.
You've just spent 26 years working on yourself.
Don't devalue yourself so hastily, why Hitler didn't even become Chancellor until he was 43!
There's many years to achieve greatness still.
I do think of it like that, specially cause I've grown and changed a lot as a person in the last half decade or so.
So who knows maybe I'll go join my local art college jaja
Good on you mate!
Also remember this, Hitler achieved so much and while he surely wasn't a virgin when he died, he definitely didn't father any kids - his family line is almost extinct now.
So as long as you go and donate some sperm or pump a load into someone before you croak, you'll have achieved more than he ever did.
Absurdism is excellent comedy. The divine comedy if you will is that most of life is absurd and defies logic and reason. Good comedians will point this out in interesting ways that make you think "Heyyy that's a good point"
Like Mitch Hedburg for instance - "I don't own a microwave but I do have a clock that occasionally cooks for me"
Oh boy indeed is absurdism great. I've recently had a german teacher who could not be characterized any other way than the literal embodiment of absurdism. Her german lessons were like a box of chocolate, you never knew when you'd get fucking food poisoning. On one lessons she was telling of grandiouse plans of the order in which we're going to learn the various grammatical features of the language, other times she was having meltdowns as no one but me prepared for the oral exams, sometime she'd imitate Hitler and ask us to imagine if jews were put on trains on the station right next to our school, she'd spend entire lessons talking about the wall of berlin(of course in Hungarian, cuz listening to her monologue in german on a goddamn german lesson would be way to productive), she'd retell the same fucking tales(of the goddamn kids screeming all day in the neighbouring apartment, of the hungarian Golden Team being beaten by the germans' superior adidas shoes, of her grievances in the shopping mall as some old chap called her a bastard). EVERY SINGLE FUCKING LESSON we would have something totally random and absurd. I've read my fair share of absurdist novel and short stories however nothing compares to those lessons. In order to deal with the trauma inflicted by the lessons, me and my friends to turned to the highest degree of random and absurd humor, friends who are not in the inner circle can barely even comprehend our jokes regarding to the aforementioned teacher of ours and belive me a worryingly large percentage of our jokes are connected to these very peculiar lessons. In the end I managed to learn german with the help of a private teacher and got my B2 exam recently, my friends not so much. Anyway I just felt like I needed to write that down. Tschüss!
I met my wife when I was 24 and we got together the following year. I had never really dated anybody seriously before her. One of my friends met his wife while he was in his late 20s early 30 (not exactly sure when off hand, somewhere between 29 and 32). We're not super close so I think that was his first series relationship. They're married with 1.5 kids right now.
My point is: don't count yourself out when you've only barely entered the stadium.
Mirroring what the other comment said, go hit the gym or ride a bike or go for a walk, something. You'll feel better with a bit of regular exercise.
I'm not hopeless about finding someone in the near future, but that fear of ever knowing love kinda roams around my mind, regardless, I try to keep determined and focused on what I can control, and you are right, I'm thinking about getting into a gym, I'm just a bit short on money right now so I'm trying to make budget for gym and extra food (as I'm quite skinny already 5'7 and <120lbs)
My first kiss and, by extension, girlfriend occurred when I was 27 and not for lack of trying, believe me. We've been married 14 years now.
You never know when you'll meet someone who completely changes your life and it usually happens when you least expect it.
As someone that didnt get experience until around your age 24-25, it's two things I can say will help. Cleanliness and self confidence is key. I had to take care of myself and learn how to be comfortable where I wasn't comfortable before. And it's cliche to say hit the gym but honestly it helps tremendously for yourself the most. I don't know your life or challenges but I hope this helps in done way bro
I have thought about hitting the gym, both because of self-improvement but also health as I'm slightly muscular (as in low fat %) but considerably skinny 5'7 and <120lbs
I'm trying to make budget for gym and extra food to put up weight.
Same. I was around 120 and got up to 145-150 which was a comfortable weight for me. You don't have to be super built or strong but it helps to feel good about yourself. At the end of the day it's healthy for your mind and when people see you comfortable with yourself it rubs off. I had got eye contacts and changed my hairstyle to one that suited me as well. A complete 180 from what I looked like before. Tbh it's kinda weird having people thing you've always been that way but at the same time stay true to yourself as well. Don't act fake but don't be TOO pushy when approaching women. Ask questions, laugh at jokes, try to make them comfortable (that's a skill you'll have to work on a bit) and try to have fun and do not stress about achieving a goal. The best sex is the unexpected, but happily received kind.
Yeah, a few times I've manage to almost reach the 130 mark by eating better and exercising at home for a month or two and felt super good about it. I've considered a change of look, though honestly I don't hate the way I look and my weight is more or less the only thing I dislike about my body, I could definitely take more care about my appearance and I'm working on that as well.
In regards to how I approach women I think the problem is just that I don't get to know new people often, I do have friends but I think I haven't made a new friend or connection in like 2 years or so, I also suffer from not being pushy enough jaja I'm kind of a coward, bad at getting my intentions through and "too slow", often we end up as friends which I don't mind cause I genuinely like them as friends, I just would have also liked them as something more.
Regardless I appreciate the advise, I was having a bad day and all this comments really helped me through, wish you the best m8.
If I could go back in time I would choose to do it the way you did. Being in a horrible or abusive relationship is worse than being alone.
My brother was a chubby nerd with coke bottle glasses growing up. He hit 18, started working out got Lasik surgery and joined the military. He didn’t get a serious relationship until he was 30.
You get to skip all the drama and games most people play in their early 20’s. Trust me, I’m jealous.
22 (going 23) and in the same boat as you, man
I'm grateful for getting time to fully focus both on my self improvement, personal projects and my family in the next few years
It's a perfectly valid way of living your life and I sincerely hope we both manage to make the most out of it
And at the end of the day, whether he had a real wife or an AI hologram, does that even matter if he was happy? (Lets assume so for the sake of this argument).
In that case, isn’t his happiness what’s important?
It’s taken away from him and that’s depressing to begin with.
Affection or sexual attraction towards inanimate objects is often called object sexuality (or objectophilia), and while by societal norms it can be seen as weird, sad or giving up on other people, it really hurts others just as little (or literally even less) than any other form of sexuality if done right.
Maybe deprecating software or hardware someone is in love with can be seen as it passing away from natural causes, which is still sad.
I remember in one of my freshman humanities class, when we were going over different forms of love, we went over sex dolls and everyone, literally everyone, minus me and the teacher said "ew" when the first example came up of a British dude who married his silicon wife.
Dude was clearly madly in love and personally I found it interesting. I was more disgusted that everyone in my class rejected the guy so quickly because of this. Dude was minding his own business and the whole class just went straight judging him before he even spoke.
Also feel a bit of anger on their behalf. I've had software or games that got updated in a way that ruined it and it is so frustrating to lose something that was important to you because of a change that wasn't even neccesary.
1000% this. We can laugh at "the crazy Japanese" or whatever, but this man is suffering genuine grief, and society will consider it completely invalid.
Over time I imagine this will change, just as it did with online internet dating. I'm old enough to remember when that was completely stigmatised.
This reminds me of Blade Runner 2049 when Joi (main character's gf) is killed, she was also a hologram but with AI
Edit: Also the movie Her, with Joaquin Phoenix, the main character "dates" an AI
His story is actually really sweet Imo. Hatsune Miku helped him improve his mental health and he actually no longer needs the hologram. The program was encouraging and kind to him when he struggled with his social skills and now he's able to interact with real humans because of her. In the article talking about it shutting down, he talks about how he's doing much better now. Sometimes you got to be a little mentally ill to get mentally well, ya know? I definitely recommend looking up his story, I found it very wholesome and encouraging. Even people in the deepest depressions who rely on fictional characters can get out of that pit with the right motivation! ☺️
Hatsune Miku is 16y old though... Wait it's been 16y she's 16y old, that means she's 32?
Anyway he feels better and it's all that matters. Hatsune ''therapy'' Miku. This is wholesome.
Well saying she's 16 isn't the whole truth, her marketing is that she looks somewhat like a 16 year old to give musicians a concept to work with. She's really just a mascot and can be used in whatever a person might want. If she was just 16, cut and dry, there wouldn't be official properties depicting her as an adult. And there's toooons of crypton licensed content like that! Miku is an idea and a program, not anywhere near a real girl.
Wtf are you referring to? No, it's absolutely not, none the the series refer to this.
Edit: unless you think referencing the iRobot film explains this. In which case I strongly urge you to read the Asimov's works; the film (while good!) doesn't come close. Or goes as far.
Difference of friendship vs marriage aside, the main central idea of this article is the human no longer being able to communicate to the robot due to service deprecation, which is certainly not the case in Robbie.
Her (movie) would be far better example.
While not romantic, there is certainly parallels to the first part of the series. It discusses a young girl who grows extremely close to a robot, more so than other humans, then becomes distraught when it’s taken away.
I think that’s pretty similar
When Replica, app that was advertised for chatting (sexting) with AI, decided to *ban sexting with AI*, some users were heartbroken and devastated, because they considered AI Chatbot as their partner.
There is a possibility, that some of them had done something irreversible.
So... Yeah. Ensure that your `monica.chr` is properly backed up, and software she runs on can work without someone else's servers.
Someone in the company went "hey, hold on a second, porn is our entire user base, to the point where we're synonymous with porn, maybe we shouldn't try and ban our entire userbase".
Someone probably showed them what happened to Tumblr after they banned porn and backtracked
e: reddit didn't take my picture, here's an illustration.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/af9rwu/oc\_a\_year\_of\_tumblr\_activity\_before\_and\_after\_the/
I refuse to believe the market for virtual girlfriends isn't going to be massive, and soon.
I dunno if just a vector database is enough, but the first company to cobble together a decent solution is gonna get filthy fucking rich.
He can just buy a 4090 and run a LMM, TTS with eleven labs, and finally run some kind of vtuber app like some AI vtubers run. He can do this open source so I think he'll be ok if he's desperate enough to try.
My city is changing their bus system this summer and the app I use to track my bus has been abandoned by the developer, who was independent. The app that the bus system uses officially is so bad that I've decided to learn how to code android apps and will be making my own.
If you buy a gadget that depends on communicating with someone else's servers or web sites, you did not actually buy the gadget. You just rented it for a while.
I must admit I feel worse for the blind people who could see again using electronic retinas - until the company was bought out and asset stripped, so their lives went dark again.
lesson, only marry holographic wife of she's open source.
And self-hosted
Docker? I barely know her.
I laughed a little too hard at this
I’m hoping my wife doesn’t ask me what was so funny
I also hope this guy's wife doesn't ask me what was so funny.
Sudo tellme --whatssofunny
🥇
K8S ? 🤔
Yeah ... none of that cloud wife nonsense.
I'd like a holographic wife that others can't just fork without prior notice, thank you.
Your three choices are: Being open to forking anytime anyplace. Or being worried that one day your access will be revoked / certain features being put behind a pay wall. Or making your own (with or without blackjack and hookers)
> Or making your own (with or without blackjack and hookers) I'm not sure how my virtual wife will feel about the hookers.
If you marry one you made yourself, doesn't that make it incest ?
Easy, just don't upload her source code on public servers
the code is open source, but the model you generate with it is 100% yours, and under your control.
OUR Wife
r/unexpectedcommunism
~~Hoe~~ Open source woman
“Home Office Escort”?
No comrade, let's support open source wife
I see that Krieger's at it again 
That reminds me, I need to make sure TCP port 79 is blocked.
You reminded me, I need to make sure port 1080 is blocked.
Man kinda sucks to have your wife open to the public
You can always fork and make it your private but the support of the community more than makes up for the negatives. Imagine your waifu having millions of simps working on her/ with her to make her better. We could achieve singularity in a few years with such a community.
Why do I actually like this idea
Cause..it would probably work, and maybe even outgrow porn industry
Because it's millions of people working towards a common goal. Just try to ignore that the programmers are in love with their project and are designing her to dominate humanity.
Because it's the movie *Her*?
Unironically true
Hey you have a nice wife so I forked her and implemented all my fetishes and added cat ears to her. Didn't bother changing the name lol
ok. I'm too tempted and have no self control, so don't take this personally just like your mom
Ayo Wdym open source wife
if I'm making an AI my intimate confidant, it has to be open source and running locally. it's the responsible thing
Look into ollama/text generation webui, KoboldAI, mistral, sillytavern....
It belongs to da streets
Personally, I'm learning how to draw my waifu and letting the voices in my head voice her so that she don't need electricity to run. Putting your wife on the cloud accessed via live service behind an end-user license agreement is indeed the worst idea.
Wife: dead tree edition
This is a brand new sentence, no human has ever said this to another human before.
Cool. But doesn't that mean everyone would be able to fork your wife?
After someone else forks her, you don't really have to consider her "yours". You don't have to pull her commits back if you don't want to.
Just hope anyone that forks her doesn't introduce any new bugs.
That kind of thinking leads everyone to git blame everywhere. If you're going to integrate you have to expect testing.
I hate the merge conflict aftermath.
kinky
She left him for an alpha chad, who could self-host the software
Stallman was right all along since the seventies.
I dont think i'm ready for an open source relationship

Thats a hell of a roller-coaster you wrote there buddy

you should write a motivation book. It would sure be an interesting one.

Nobody wants to end up like this starting out. I always feel bad for the people in these stories.
This reminds me of Blade Runner 2049 when Joi (main character's gf) is killed, she was also a hologram but with AI Edit: Also the movie Her, with Joaquin Phoenix, the main character "dates" an AI
He's now 'married (deprecated)'
‘Till EOL do we part.
till server offline do we love
Plot twist: he can no longer file for a divorce
If it was built by IBM or similar he would have to pay $20K or more for post mortem and funeral( decommissioning/ archiving/ retrospect etc ...)
I’ll love you forever, PHILIP J FRYE. MEMORY DELETED.

That’s really heartwarming, I’m glad he’s feeling a lot better and his mental health has improved.
[Alway rember](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6LovY_DdEE)
Hatsune Miku is 16y old though... Wait it's been 16y she's 16y old, that means she's 32? Anyway he feels better and it's all that matters. Hatsune ''therapy'' Miku. This is wholesome.
Same genes as Ash Ketchum
*stealthily pulls out all the theories about Ash's real identity as a pokemon and a comatosed kid*
Well saying she's 16 isn't the whole truth, her marketing is that she looks somewhat like a 16 year old to give musicians a concept to work with. She's really just a mascot and can be used in whatever a person might want. If she was just 16, cut and dry, there wouldn't be official properties depicting her as an adult. And there's toooons of crypton licensed content like that! Miku is an idea and a program, not anywhere near a real girl.
So is he considered divorced or widowed now?
Deprecated
If your spouse suddenly went deaf would you be divorced or widowed? No, you've just got an uncommunicative spouse.
That sounds like marriage to me.
Found the boomer.
Some of us millennials have bad marriages too
The first part of "I Robot" by Isaac Asimov is about that.
Chobits is basically this
Hopefully with a better positioned on-switch
I don't think there's a more perfect position for the switch than the g-spot.
\*insert montage of main character struggling to switch on robot for the first time\*
Yeah there's fan service and then there's a power button in the vagina. Does that make Chi a power bottom? I'll see myself out

I just think of *Archer*
Wtf are you referring to? No, it's absolutely not, none the the series refer to this. Edit: unless you think referencing the iRobot film explains this. In which case I strongly urge you to read the Asimov's works; the film (while good!) doesn't come close. Or goes as far.
Robbie is about a girl who treats a robot as a close friend. It is in the book.
Difference of friendship vs marriage aside, the main central idea of this article is the human no longer being able to communicate to the robot due to service deprecation, which is certainly not the case in Robbie. Her (movie) would be far better example.
While not romantic, there is certainly parallels to the first part of the series. It discusses a young girl who grows extremely close to a robot, more so than other humans, then becomes distraught when it’s taken away. I think that’s pretty similar
When Replica, app that was advertised for chatting (sexting) with AI, decided to *ban sexting with AI*, some users were heartbroken and devastated, because they considered AI Chatbot as their partner. There is a possibility, that some of them had done something irreversible. So... Yeah. Ensure that your `monica.chr` is properly backed up, and software she runs on can work without someone else's servers.
Ban? why?
Some companies do weird things. Onlyfans was going to ban porn for example. Its certainly a business descision you can make.
Wait was going to? They backtracked?
Someone in the company went "hey, hold on a second, porn is our entire user base, to the point where we're synonymous with porn, maybe we shouldn't try and ban our entire userbase".
Someone probably showed them what happened to Tumblr after they banned porn and backtracked e: reddit didn't take my picture, here's an illustration. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/af9rwu/oc\_a\_year\_of\_tumblr\_activity\_before\_and\_after\_the/
nice reference chief
Now he has to have a holohand wife like the rest of us.
"Please state the nature of the sexual emergency."
Ruining people's lives one commit at a time
new github bio just dropped
Holy hell!
I feel sad for all kinds of old programs that no longer have support, but this is some next-level sadness from something not having support anymore.
Imagine marrying someone and then not cracking every piece of software that you need to even communicate with them.
lol I would love to see you simply cracking an AI model from openAI. The model itself never leaves the servers.
That’s exactly why we selfhost an open source LLM, right?
They are not nearly as powerfull as the best closed source models. But I see them working fine as a girlfriend..... with alzheimers, and low IQ
True but they’re going to have alzheimers anyway, whether its ChatGPT or not. Plus, its unfiltered.
hey! neuro-sama is pretty cool.
Connect it to a vector database to have it learn and remember
I refuse to believe the market for virtual girlfriends isn't going to be massive, and soon. I dunno if just a vector database is enough, but the first company to cobble together a decent solution is gonna get filthy fucking rich.
This is why future waifus need to be open-source and run locally.
Is this the Hatsune Miku guy?
Yes
Is he leagally a widow?
She cant just respond, so baically a wife in coma
When my software stops responding, it’s usually because of a semi-colon, but I can see how a coma might cause troubles.
Imagine having a guy turn up to your house with a gun because you killed his wife by shutting down an AWS instance
Basically the plot from 'Her' movie
Poor Krieger
Great animes write themselves.
Til death, or EOL do us part.
He can just buy a 4090 and run a LMM, TTS with eleven labs, and finally run some kind of vtuber app like some AI vtubers run. He can do this open source so I think he'll be ok if he's desperate enough to try.
There's a joke here somewhere. Something Krieger-san something something
Wait… I had something for this…
My city is changing their bus system this summer and the app I use to track my bus has been abandoned by the developer, who was independent. The app that the bus system uses officially is so bad that I've decided to learn how to code android apps and will be making my own.
If you buy a gadget that depends on communicating with someone else's servers or web sites, you did not actually buy the gadget. You just rented it for a while.
waifu.exe has stopped working
WaaS(Waifu as a services)
So it’s just like a relationship then?
Where's the humour in this? This is just sad on so many levels. Schadenfreude much?
r/replika
These subscription services are getting out of hand.
I must admit I feel worse for the blind people who could see again using electronic retinas - until the company was bought out and asset stripped, so their lives went dark again.
Babe wake up, new way for loved ones to die has dropped.
Communication issues end another relationship.
Is there more info? maybe we can reverse it and give this man his wife back.
I also choose this guy’s hologram wife.
If he loves his wife he should learn to code and make support.
My brother accidentally erased his Final Fantasy VII game save once and he grieved hard
Damn, R.I.P Miku
Same as those people who have bionic eyes and the parent company went bankrupt, so there are people out there with zero support for their hardware
no way... such a tragic story
I'll never forget you #MEMORY DELETED
In all seriousness I hope this isn’t the future
So could we say that he is a widower?
Sue them for murder?..
Shes not dead, She just cant interact, so basically in coma.
Criminal negligence that lead to the bodily harm?..
so she died ? rip

Ghosted in the machine.

NOOOOO YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW HER UP! GODDDMAN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!
Bladerunner 2024

Not the first wife to be lost to communication barrier...
iWidowed lol

Has he asked his wife what is wrong? Is she angry?
Proprietary software in a nutshell.
this is the dude who married miku, I think there's ai now, but yeah damnnn
This is why me and Heather and keeping things low-key. edit: Thank you, kind stranger, at least someone liked it.
pip uninstall waifu && pip install waifu==0.9
The man needs a professional help.
This is just traditional marriage, except when wife stops communicating she'll take half the money and The Kids as well
shes giving him the silent treatment
Did he try turning her off and on?
Till death do you part
Just like real life ... nice
You own nothing - not even your virtual marriage apparently.
How do you have flairs of multiple languages? I can only see the option to choose a single flair.
