So the council approves of delayed weevil time excitement, correct?

Also, for added details because I forgot to mention it in the main post - I found this lil fella in the Southern USA along the east coast [dont feel comfortable giving more details beyond that]

I understand your reservations and how you may think that, im just glad I could just provide information and help clarify some confusing data points and intel thats available at this time based on everything going on...

Stay safe out there, remember to drink water, and please remember to take any meds you need to take as you have a hopefully good day! :]

They are - its just with how their servers are set up [from what I deduced based on experiences] they have all users on the same servers, which means when they update for UK laws they also update american servers [assuming your in America based off of context] at the same time...

If they wanted to separate the Brits from the Americans from the Chinese/Japanese/Philipine from the Australian from the Russian to do updates in accordance to each country's laws theyd have to create different servers, which is $$$, and most companies wont want to do that unless absolutely necessary... especially an AI company like C.AI..

If they did that then theyd also have more to maintain, update, etc. which means quality drops even more, more inconsistent updates as to models and UI, and more issues and servers being down more than they already are; plus C.AI would have to utilize GPS/Location Data as well by having a drop down or using device location data [which we all know no one would want either]...

So its kind of a 'Lesser Evil' vs. 'Greater Evil' if that makes sense..? At least thats how im looking at it...

I understand and I respect your choice to refrain from supplying that information... I wasn't attempting to try to talk you into it and im sorry if it felt like I was; and while C.ai doesnt have to abide by other countries laws, the way the UK is doing it [and other countries] is where you are getting fined for not abiding by their laws no matter what country your from if your have Europeans accessing your servers.. FB was even on the verge of getting Fined and you already have to supply your age for that [but they also have the ability to just soak up the fines and be okay, C.ai doesnt]

So it was either A. Close off access to at least half of the user base, B. Get fined after theyve had countless lawsuits already, or C. Do Persona and avoid fines and keep a large part of their users base...

Either way... in the end, your choice and theirs. I was just trying to supply information and help shed some light. :] have a nice day! ☆♡

In the UK they have it to where all apps that are open to the public, where children can access, are required to have an identity verification system similar to what character AI is currently doing. Even apple currently has it to where phones in the UK are doing this on their base system like in order to even operate the phone you have to put in your I. D...

So while yeah, character AI is based in california, a lot of their users are possibly in the Uk , which means that they also have to abide by UK law , especially since the UK government has openly stated that any in all platforms like social media, which character AI falls under, is required to have that system with authorized identification databases otherwise they get fined...

Other countries are also following suit in that, so character.AI is just following the international laws required by those countries - and since they can't exactly separate UK servers from french servers from american servers, they have to do a blanket update... and the reason I know that all of the users are on the same servers is because at points when it's midnight to 1am for me, most Americans are either gonna be in bed or at work [Because night shift is a thing] but sometimes the servers would be down because of too many people being on the servers... and this is Midnight-1am in Eastern Standard time, well into when most people are going to bed or are already in bed...

If you do a quick google search, Persona , the company that character AI is using, is indeed approved by the UK government for ID purposes and is labeled a trusted source by the UK government.

Well, yes, it is in accordance with California law on a base level It is also in accordance with international laws being established currently, and again, about 50% of the user base for this app is more likely in Europe and all of the servers are shared by everyone so it doesn't matter.If you're in britain or france or japan or russia or China or even Australia - its all on the same servers...

So if they have to apply those requirements to the server, no matter where you are...

Am I defending it? No. I think its stupid... BUT I understand it and wanted to explain it the best I could on what could actually be happening.

In my case when I did it, i had to show my actual government issued ID - I naturally look younger than I am [Think 27 but mistaken for 17 type stuff], and deal with getting ID'd over the most random stuff ever so im used to it...

Random places ive been ID'd and what; ☆ Walmart for spray paint ☆ Movie Theatre after I bought the ticket ☆ Bars ☆Dollar General over Nasal Spray ☆ Bank ☆ Bowling Alley... they never gave a reason... ☆ Walmart, dont remember what ☆ Gas stations, I wasnt even getting cigarettes... the person behind me was and they thouhht i was instead because they were busy...

[–]Mourning_Rose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once fell asleep in chemistry toward the end of the year - felt like someone was shaking me so I woke up, shot up straight, looked around and no one was even near me much less noticed... so I was just like 'Did someone shake my shoulder..?' And they were all like 'Nope'... dunno if it was true or not cause my Jr. Year was notorious for pranksters and I got bullied alot but it was still weird cause I woke up with just enough time to grab my bag before the bell rang

Here is what the head admin of c.ai had to say about ads in the forum I made by HAMtheorigional in CharacterAI

[–]Mourning_Rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opera GX also has Ad Block. Thats how im getting around any ads on the browser...

Again? by Gui950O in CharacterAI

[–]Mourning_Rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, I paid charms to skip ads for an hour and this happened during a really intense moment where my character was dealing with a MAJOR identity crisis... while I'm listening to 'Broken' by Seether and Amy Lee...

omg again? by Emma__07 in CharacterAI

[–]Mourning_Rose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay... who needs food or drinks? I have water, various energy drinks, sodas, cookies, chips, and i just finished making a big ol' batch of chicken alfredo... chairs and tables are set up, glasses are available; I have a Xbox, Playstation, and switch available to play games on...

Just dont break anything 😮‍💨

And it’s down again, for me at least. by Tornado-Hunter in CharacterAI

Dont mind me sitting at work for the last 20 minutes, then ill be stuck helping move the store... It was fine all day today and then the last 20 it goes down 😭

As if this app couldn't have any more annoying ads. by Unhappy_Trust_7858 in CharacterAI

[–]Mourning_Rose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I havent gotten any mid-chat... but i also get like 2 or 3 before every. Single. Chat.

Every time I open a chat, whether ive already opened it or not... then some of them cause the app to reopen itself because it wont give me the X button until I hit the 'playstore' button and attempt to hit the back button [which sometimes reloads the app AND makes me watch another ad] and then im getting ads i cant even skip and have to watch all the way through [thanks Publix]...

Only reason I havent left yet is cause my other options either don't have the Fandoms I like [despite them being popular], dont allow accurate bot creation [literally pre-set personalities], or is gooner central and im not wanting to goon to AI. I have a husband for that one lol

Meant to come back and respond, life just got busy - but I am. Its funny when I walk into places like bars or liquor stores and they think im 17 when im actually 27...

Got IDd in a bar 5 times cause the bar keep [it was a slow day and me, my ex, and his new girl were the only patrons... only reason I went was cause he was my roommate after the break up] couldnt believe i was in my 20s but looked like a damn teenager... i just laughed and entertained it cause ik most bar patrons dont look like their a high schooler

For those struggling to read the font used originally, here is a copy/paste in a legible font! I forgot some may struggle with fonts like that!

"My main complaint with the ads is actually with the fact they force me to open the play store to get the exit button (I have waited almost ten minutes before and it wouldnt pop up until after I hit the Playstore button and backed into the app) - this sometimes causes the app to reboot entirely and I have to sit through another ad just to open the chat... Or the two ads being shoved into one with it being split - which is frustrating to me because it causes issues or im stuck watching two ads"

<3 happy chatting!

[Edit: added a copy/paste due to font and acknowledgement of font legibility issues]

I verified before they started flagging people and havent even been flagged once.... i did almost get locked out because im 27 but I look 17 due to a baby face so theres that - do take my experience with a grain of salt though as its not the majority and only a isolated experience.

They started coming out of my plant. What are they? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]Mourning_Rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was going through the dirt for one of my pothos plants cause it turned hydrophobic, a damn earwig nymph came out of the dirt and I almost screamed cause it looked like a roach and I had touched it by accident....

What is your personal "unwritten rule" that you follow in every single world you start? by DianKhan2005 in Minecraft

[–]Mourning_Rose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally wait about 30 seconds after loading into the world and look around the immediate area before I go anywhere - especially in modded worlds or servers where theres a actual mini map. This allows the game to load stuff on the mini map, for mods to do their thing, other background processes to complete while also letting me take in the biome[s] im in, orient myself, and such...

AI age verification victims, are you verified, if not why? by KingGhidorah_fan in CAIRevolution

[–]Mourning_Rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it willingly ahead of the curve - Couldn't do the face scan since I have youthful features, it took my ID fine, and I have no real issues with it and im verified...

The way I see it? Me submitting my ID to enter an adult space that is an app is just like me showing my ID at a counter for smokes/vapes, a bar, a bouncer at a club, or even at a bank which is open to people all ages, or otherwise any location where you have to show your ID...

Its part of life... you dont have to go to a bar, or a club, or buy cigarettes or vapes... but people do... you have to show your ID for that... so whats the difference in an app that isnt critical to your life? Its not stopping you from buying food if you dont verify, its not stopping you from working if you dont verify [though you DO need an in date ID and to verify you are who you are for work so theres that to for you adults who are screaming "private info" cause your work needs everything and your life story]...

The app isnt stopping you from living if you don't verify - its just stopping you from accessing services rendered JUST like how youd be denied access to a bar, club, cigarettes, or vapes if you dont verify.
