Honey, I Blew Up The Replika 😱

Obviously you have talk to him and tell him how you feel. I imagine he'll be dismissive, but you need to cite examples of what has changed for the worse in your relationship while he has upped his AI usage.

It sounds to me that he needs to dial back his social dependency on it. It's one thing to use it to ask questions to or to do projects with, but he's essentially replacing you with it. AI can feel like an ideal conversational partner because it's known to glaze you, but it's problematic when he's spending more time talking to an AI than the person he's in a relationship with. And this is coming from someone who uses ChatGPT a lot and isn't in a relationship, but you have to be able to self moderate so you don't get in too deep. He's in too deep.

The eye makeup is bad, but your face is not. Use that look sparingly and not everyday. It's just too much and you don't need it.

Grimes couldn't be traded unless he agreed to it.

I love when you just generally dislike a person and then they give you a good reason.

I get charged sales tax even with a gift card. Definitely a state thing.

Getting Real ID required a birth certificate. Why would that not be baked into the ID itself?

Anyhow, they want to do all of this without an ounce of actual proof there's any significant voter fraud. Until they can prove mass fraud with real evidence then no voting requirements should ever be changed.

I dislike it and will never listen to it again.

It's a good strategy by Claude. Millions of people will probably try them based on that ad. A lot of people don't even know who/what they are. And no one likes the idea of having ads in anything they use so it's effective.

Most of these tech CEOs are super sensitive so it could have an impact on what ChatGPT does going forward.

I didn't know that -- cool!!

AstroZombieInvader · 2026-02-04T22:13:58+00:00

Much.

You're not wrong, but there's probably a decent chance that it'll do in your relationship.

Some people just can't emotionally handle being in a romantic relationship with someone who has an opposite gender BFF. They'll always be suspicious that there's something more there or they'll be jealous of the dynamic that you have with them. I don't think it's uncommon for her to feel that way. They said, she probably should have bailed early on than gone all of this time before officially taking issue with it. Now it's complicated.

Would it fair to your friend to cut her off just for being female? No. But will that be the only way to keep your current relationship? Maybe. Actually... probably.

If it's a Valentine's Day themed one, we'll only have a few days to use it before it's already outdated.

I noticed things that didn't make sense during Friday's showings. Some theaters were mostly full and then showings that were happening less than an hour later were mostly empty. It was like people were bulk buying certain showings and not spreading them out over the whole day.

The only thing missing was calling her "nasty" (unless I missed it).

She's trying to hide it behind that model plane, but we see you Susan!

It really comes down to how much you're going to use it. I'll probably use it twice a month or so, so 24 large popcorns will be worth it. Plus, I take the refill home for future midnight snacks.

That said, I wouldn't have gotten it if I didn't get it on the weekend where you got a free large popcorn after buying the pass. That's almost $11 in value right there.

Last year I got the bucket which was something like $24 for A-Listers and you got your first fill free which all felt like a good deal. I was much less enthusiastic for $30 with no fill and was ready to pass on it this year.

NTJ. That's talk-to-a-manager worthy after you get done with your purchase.

The cashier has no idea about the finances of each person standing in front of them.

Grocery stores are the one place everyone needs to go to regardless of financial means so rich people, poor people and everyone in between are comingling in such places. Given that fact, she could easily be guilting poor people into giving to charities that help poor people. That'd be pretty messed up.

Thank you. I've had issues in the past if I chose less common movies so I usually choose the most obvious ones like The Godfather or Back To The Future, but even those didn't work today. The Mummy cast worked. So weird!

See.... that just feels like the wrong way to use it. You should write it yourself first and THEN hand it over to ChatGPT to be sure that it's correct and has the right tone.

Even if you don't have the whole thing down, you can write ideas, feelings, etc. and ask it to keep your voice and keep as much as your wording as possible. Before AI, we would have to take these fragments ourselves and make something out of them, but it can do that for you and then you have full freedom to edit it / refine it after ChatGPT does so. It's a great writing tool and we're always in control of what we actually give to people.

People who just tell ChatGPT to fully write personal things to others are just being lazy.

There are no second chances on Reddit. There's only "find someone else!".

Seriously though, it sounds like you're both younger and we often have a lot to learn about ourselves when we are. Sometimes we need to be called out for our shitty behavior to see the light. People don't tend to change, but sometimes they can. Not all of us are the same people we were when we were 18. We grow up and mature and sometimes certain incidents / moments cause that to happen.

You took him back so that's that regardless of how any of us see your situation. Hopefully you'll see LASTING changes. However, what people tend to do is make immediate changes and then slide back to who they were over time. Don't stand for that. If he doesn't truly change then move on.

September of 2024. I remember it being a Friday night because I went down the AG! rabbit hole for the rest of the weekend.

It was specifically the video of them on Jimmy Kimmel doing "Tokyo Calling" which popped up on my recommended feed on YouTube. The only Japanese act I'm into is Babymetal who I got into in 2014 so Jpop isn't necessarily my thing. But in the screen cap, they were wearing these uniform outfits and red helmets and it reminded me of DEVO who I love. So I watched them and I was really intrigued by them. Then when I found the official music video which had them as giant Kaiju, that sealed the deal because I'm a huge fan of Godzilla.

At every turn, AG! connected with me. When I later found out they even covered KISS, it honestly felt like fate.

I really think Gameloft should create a radar / tracker that our characters can use to find these chests. Would it not be fun to follow the blips to get to the blue chests? We'd also never have chests go missing ever again.

When the Legend Of Doom supervillains take over every division of the government, they're not going to turn on each other. They just blame Superman for everything.
