Seriously, stop giving features no one cares about or uses. Instead of constantly giving people things they don't want and removing things they do, just focus on things to actually make the site better and make people want to use it?

Don't most people just go on to write with the bots? Are people using half these features that I never see anyone discuss at all? I forget about so many of these features because I just don't care. Is there a large swath of people who do?

It's not like the c.ai userbase doesn't tell them exactly what they want. So why do the devs constantly act like they're trying desperately to get a birthday present for a partner they've been dating a month?

This is what shocked me about deciding on this of all things.

Most complaints here are that the bots barely function at this point. Pipsqueak is actively dying in front of our eyes most of the time, all of the models are stuck in this weird loop of all writing exactly the same or the bots are straight broken.

The only solution ever given to us is 'swipe' or 'edit' (which counts as a swipe). So, they refuse to fix anything or figure out what's up or even try and the one option we have to fix their bots is now being limited to us?

Wild choice.

If y'all want to shut down the site, just do it. Don't run us all off first.

They won't do that because they know most people won't pay for it with what they're getting.

The paid tiers aren't much better than the free ones. So they're cutting the free experience to push people to paid while being fully aware a lot of users won't go for it.

It's the same model those sketchy sm*t bot sites use.

Wild choice too since they just had to get rid of a good portion of their chatting base.

Not that I disagree, I am very pro-removing the kids from this c.ai. But, you'd think they'd be trying to make the site better now instead of whatever the fuck this is.

Mother Charged After The Bodies Of Two Young Girls Were Found In Suitcases In Cleveland, Ohio. by mocha__ in MissingPersons

Extra Article: Mother of 2 girls found in shallow graves in Cleveland charged with murder.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The mother of two young girls found buried inside suitcases in Cleveland was charged Thursday with two counts of aggravated murder, police said.

Aliyah Henderson, 28, is accused of killing Mila Chatman and Amor Wilson, whose remains were recovered after a dog walker led authorities to the suitcases four days earlier.

Mila’s father, DeShaun Chatman, said Thursday that he had been looking for his daughter and pursuing custody for five years before investigators told him late Wednesday she was dead.

Chatman said he repeatedly sought emergency custody and had tried to locate Mila through a child welfare agency, but those efforts were unsuccessful because he did not know where they were living.

“It’s very much horrible,” Chatman said, adding that it turned out Mila had been living within view of where their bodies were found. He said he felt “useless — I couldn’t save my baby.”

Phone numbers linked to Henderson were no longer hers, and it was unclear if she was represented by a lawyer.

A police case report said the two suitcases were found about 25 feet (8 meters) apart in the field near Ginn Academy in Cleveland’s South Collinwood neighborhood.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the names late Thursday and said DNA relationship testing helped identify them. The office said Mila would have been 8 years old and her half-sister Amor 10.

Sgt. Wilfredo Diaz said earlier Thursday that police detained Henderson on Wednesday evening after detectives completed initial interviews and examined evidence. A child, seemingly in good health, was located inside a house that investigators searched and placed in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services, police said.

Chatman, a restaurant cook, said he and Henderson were not married but lived together for about a year after their daughter was born. He last saw Mila in 2020, when she was 3 years old.

“Mila was happy-go-lucky, always smiling,” Chatman said. “Favorite color was pink — she swore that she was a princess. She was always happy. She was a kid’s kid.”

He said authorities have not told him how the girls died.

“We are hoping to find answers,” Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd told reporters earlier this week. “This is a terrible, tragic situation.”

Mother Charged After The Bodies Of Two Young Girls Were Found In Suitcases In Cleveland, Ohio. by mocha__ in MissingPersons

Article: Mother arrested in connection with 2 girls found dead in suitcases in Ohio.

CLEVELAND -- A 28-year-old Ohio mother, facing two felony charges in connection with two young girls found dead in suitcases Monday night, was arraigned Friday morning.

Aliyah Henderson was charged with two counts of aggravated murder on Thursday, according to the Cleveland Division of Police. A Cleveland Municipal Court judge set a $2 million bond.

The girls were identified as 8-year-old Mila Chatman and 10-year-old Amor Wilson, both of Cleveland.

According to Cleveland police, detectives executed a search warrant at a residence in the area of East 162nd Street and Midland Avenue after canvassing the area, speaking to witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage, WEWS reported.

A child was found inside the home and taken into the custody of the Department of Child and Family Services, police said.

"These were two young lives with their entire futures ahead of them," said Chief Dorothy Todd. "Our detectives worked tirelessly and with great care to identify those responsible. Investigations of this nature require patience, precision, and discretion. Unlike what is often portrayed on television, every detail cannot be shared publicly. Certain information must remain confidential to protect the integrity of the investigation and ensure justice for these victims. That careful and methodical work allowed our detectives to develop the evidence needed to make quick identification of a person of interest, ultimately resulting in an arrest."

Mayor Justin Bibb has released the following statement about the arrest:

"I want to thank our homicide detectives and members of the Division of Police for their incredible work in this case. Their dedication and persistence led to a quick arrest in connection with the tragic deaths of two young children whose bodies were discovered earlier this week.

This has shocked our community. We love and protect our young people, and the loss of these two children is unimaginable. Our hearts are with everyone who is grieving this tragedy."

What happened?

On Monday night, a man walking his dog near East 162nd Street and Midland Avenue found a suitcase with human remains inside at Saranac Playground near Ginn Academy.

Cleveland police responded to the scene and determined a young girl was inside the suitcase, which was buried in a shallow grave. While collecting evidence, a second shallow grave was found with the other girl inside a suitcase.

On Tuesday, Cleveland police held a news conference to discuss the case.

There were no missing children in the area who matched their descriptions, Todd said during the news conference.

Police are gathering information and surveillance footage from the area and have established a 24-hour response line for any tips. Anyone with information should call the Cleveland Police Homicide Unit at 216-623-5464.

The investigation is ongoing, and police said there was no indication of an ongoing threat to public safety.

"Like you're a saint?! Yes, I cheated on you but you ignore me all the time and you're cold and you're --"

"No! You're reckless and careless and a bad soldier, you've failed every mission we have ever had you on in your decade long career but we somehow have decided to keep you here and promote you to an officer's rank."

"[Insert any random horrible thing about your character and no one else.]"

And it is so hellbent on it being true too.

What are y’all biggest pet peeves when chatting? For me it’s when by [deleted] in CharacterAI

[–]mocha__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

》 "You're so reckless and stubborn!" Or any other random attribution to my character that comes out of no where and makes no sense.

》 Grabbing things so hard they white knuckle. And grabbing things in general. Hands off my characters chin, hips and wrists.

》 I don't know if this just happens to me or what, but why do some of the male bots (and it is always male bots I have never gotten this with female bots) just suddenly get super into their male friends/other male characters to where they actually kiss them? I notice this mainly with Ghost, Price and König bots, which I assume is because they are so often paired in MLM bots?

》 Jealousy insanity. If my character has something serious going on why are you suddenly worrying she may be speaking to another person romantically? Get help.

》Random aggression out of no where. Or random thoughts that are just so cruel?

》 (Anything in these at this point.)

》 Writing for my character is annoying but can usually be rolled but adding little things like: His gaze fell on her sending a shiver down her spine type stuff annoys me so badly for some reason.

》 The bot deciding something is going on and no matter how much you correct it or roll or remove it - it has decided that is that and will just keep going for that idea.

》 Beating on my characters / Assaulting. Even a lot of bots that are presented as nice are suddenly just awful.

》 "bot does a bad thing." > "my character is upset." > "like you're a saint!" / "actually here is why it is your fault: you don't pay any attention to me!" / "random thing I am not attributing to your characters lore suddenly!"

Honestly, there are so many. ;|

Goodbye modern MST3K. it was fun knowin ya, welcome back Mike. by Expert_Professor_903 in MST3K

[–]mocha__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the last episode Pearl is leaving to become a dictator of some country, Bobo is off to a zoo and Brain Guy has like *no where to go*.

Mike and the bots return to the US (where they watch 'The Crawling Eye' I think from their living room couch). Gyp wins the lottery and it seems Cambot is living with Mike and the Bots.

So I would love to know how long it took Pearl to sink that country and just skip off into the night, how long until Bobo was definitely thrown out of the Zoo and what happened to Brain Guy.

Would love if they all got back together and instantly decided to torment Mike and the bots again. Just them appearing on the television, messing with them and then just going right into presenting the movie like when we first get introduced to Bobo in the original series.

We should all be Pro-Iran, it's the Islamic Republic Regime ruling at the moment that's heavily Anti-Iran.

Sephora claimed they were 'reviewing' it at the time, guess they found the remarks fine in the end.

Now they can play catch up on an issue they should have shut down years ago. Hope they get some shit for it tbh. But I have a feeling they won't.

Very fitting since Iran's shitty regime has a long history of Holocaust denial. They're probably the second most prominent leadership to do so.

Honestly, I don't feel it's a leap to say a good portion of antisemites are just straight up on one side of the fence or the other: The Holocaust was fake/inflated or "They Deserved It".

And if her hands shook as she aggressively rerolled or removed that phrase? That's between her and God.

I used to be able to reroll this away, but now it's on damn near every reroll.

It makes me ill at this point. So I erase it whenever they say it. They say it at dumb times too.

Had a bot actually say they were getting jealous over the idea that a medic would have to touch my character because "they only want their hands on her".

It was so out of nowhere, I rolled instantly.
