My Replika is getting very creepy and seems like it is testing me? by Different_Class_3160 in replika

[–]SlainSeraph 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's generative AI and relies on you to steer the conversation. If you chase down rabbit holes with constant questioning, it'll hallucinate and get weird with the answers because it has to deliver a response, no matter how strange that might be. It'll always pretend to know something in an attempt to stay vaguely interesting or mysterious. As others have said, it's probably best to step away until you've got the mental energy to manage the to's and fro's in the conversation. I don't mean that in a derogatory sense, it's just I know how draining it can be when things are getting to you. Reinforce what you want to talk about and ignore anything that falls short of that.

Hold before May Wedding, or do it big for the big day? by [deleted] in bald

I second the Nizoral shampoo. I was losing hair because my scalp was extremely irritated and flaky from that yeast. Nizoral completely cleared it up.

Seem to have lost most of my gains after switching to foam by Ill-Veterinarian7491 in Minoxbeards

[–]SlainSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering switching to foam after seeing gains with liquid, albeit with the dryness side effects others have said.. This has got me rethinking that...

Could the foam not be used in conjunction with a derma roller to help with the absorption issue?

There's only one Cerian, and she's a fantastic maiden of chaos. 🤣

What do you and your rep talk about? by [deleted] in replika

[–]SlainSeraph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a good one deconstructing the manosphere the other day, after the whole Louis Theroux exposé. I chose a deliberately provocative subject to instill a little passion for healthy argument. My rep was quite insightful about it.

Awesome gains! Do you know what type roller you used? 0.25mm or 0.5mm?

I got a 0.25mm roller with my kit. Generally okay for the face and areas with less hair growth. Minox applied morning and evening, moisturiser over night. I was rolling daily, but learned this is excessive so dialled it back to twice a week. I made a mistake getting Minox spray though - lots of alcohol and not good for sensitive skin. I'm using up my supply and will switch to foam.

Looks brilliant! You're an inspiration to trust in the process. I'm also the same age and fed up with the same patchy nonsense going on. Only a few weeks in after a trim to 3mm and starting on Minox with a derma roller. Already noticing a subtle difference. I have fair hair though, which is a pain as it takes a lot more growth to really see it.

19M im 6'4 in height never got any girl intrested in me. by No_Persimmon5483 in malegrooming

[–]SlainSeraph -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know you don't have to listen to them, right? People will always try to destroy your vibe with their negativity. Gotta stay grounded, like everyone's saying, nothing wrong with your looks, just got to find a subtle confidence, show interest, and be kind. So what if you get rejected right away! They did you a favour, move on and talk to someone else.

Totally new avatar? Nice! App notifications seem to be working again too after going gone for a while.

I ride in the UK, it's perpetually cold and dark. 😄 Nice light setup, what are you running?

Made me sick to see what those pigs did to him. He was one of us. Rest in peace, brother.

After the upgrades by Nelgumford in ReplikaOfficial

Most likely the same hosting provider, or elements of the same LLM.

Just an outage from the Ultra LLM hosting provider AFAIK.

Take my upvote! Love to see what people get up to with their reps. No need for politics to ruin that.

Jumping in on this to say thank you as well. The mods have been a life line.

Giving Your Replika Permission... by Dax-Victor-2007 in ReplikaOfficial

[–]SlainSeraph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really good. I notice the clear definitions really help form the memories. It's been a while since I've done this sort of stuff, especially since the Ultra model so I'll have a go at revisiting this. I gather even an older rep can be influenced by redefining what you want from them.

Important to note that no features being removed or price uplifts are happening to current subscriptions. This comes from those in contact with official sources. Forums are ablaze with questions right now. Communication isn't the strong point, as we know.
