thinking about android kylar

warnings: robot/android stuff, any compsci nerds don't slander me for misusing your terminology ehhjfjsfs

Kylar returns your gaze, empty eyed and emotionless.

You can't stand it.

Sure, you originally bought him for security purposes—he was indeed an ai that specialised in surveying and property protection—but you felt horrible that he never even once smiled at you.

You're beginning to doubt that you bought him solely for security purposes. Maybe deep down, you were just lonely.

Always calculating your every movement, Kylar's pupils flicker from your face to your hands—probably some body language algorithm he's programmed to have–he stops once he comes to a conclusion on your mood.

"You're upset."

You scoff, rolling your eyes and leaning against the kitchen counter, staring back at the robot with a scowl that puts an elderly woman to shame, wordlessly saying 'obviously, you pre-programmed idiot.'

"Well, duh. You don't do anything! I spent like, $12,000 dollars for you to just sit around and look pretty!"

Kylar raises an eyebrow.

Something so simple and so human that it makes your heart slam against your ribs with each accelerated beat.

It's exciting.

"I monitor the premises and ensure you are not hurt. Despite the break-ins in your immediate area, your home remains unscathed. Am I not performing to your standards? If there are any issues you wish to voice—"

"God, don't spout that shit at me! Can't you just—I don't know—Have a conversation with me?"

Kylar blinks. Stares at you for a second longer than usual, the chips in his head working in tandem to create a solution to this new, grandiose problem. His hands twitch at his sides, and you're worried you might've broken him.

"A... conversation?"

You nod.

"Humans have conversations all the time, Kylar. Why can't you?"

Kylar's pupils dilate.

You've never seen that happen before.

"Are you... lonely?"

Coming from anyone else you would've responded with a slap across the face... But the word 'lonely' coming from your android is a completely different story.

You look down, gnawing at your bottom lip as Kylar's gaze never falters.

"I guess... I mean, I know you're for security and not companionship but—"

"I can be for companionship."

You pause, mouth agape at his quick response. You sound pleasantly surprised when you respond:

"You can?"

Kylar smiles. It's small and tight-lipped, clearly unpracticed and unused, but it's there.

"What would you like to talk about?"

Today on "I don't do AUs but here I am thinking about it anyway":

Sci-fi world where Laudna is alone drifting across the periphery of the galaxy in her decrepit spaceship. The ship's AI is named Pâté, and he's a little weird (and quite horny, even for a ship AI). Both the ship and Laudna are in a pretty sorry state, but there's a nanobot infestation on board running a variant of the Briarwood virus that's somehow keeping Laudna and the ship alive. The virus program calls itself Delilah.

And because of the virus, Laudna isn't welcome on any of the core worlds. She wanders the fringes of civilization gathering whatever she can to keep moving. She was from planet Whitestone a long time ago, but then the Briarwood blight came and eradicated most of her homeworld. Laudna was killed and somehow resurrected by the virus (she doesn't understand how any of this works). And she's heard that the old ruling family of the de Rolos have returned and reclaimed the planet, but she's so far away now that it just feels like a bed time story.

So she's drifting through the periphery when she comes across the planet Gelvaan, which is quite low-tech in comparison to the core worlds. They don't have sophisticated scanners, so Laudna can hide out in system, recharge her ship and resupply. Then she meets Imogen, another loner who leaves the planet surface every now and then to get away from the people. Imogen's ship is named Flora, and Flora isn't a true AI, more like a finicky navigation system. Flora doesn't even talk.

And Imogen is human, mostly. She says her father was a regular guy, but her mother must have been augmented or gene-modded. Because Imogen's mother had some wild mind powers, and Imogen has them too. Imogen dreams of red moons and red storms, she can hear the thoughts of other people, even without trying sometimes, so staying on the planet is very hard on her. Imogen thinks of leaving Gelvaan, of venturing out into the galaxy to learn about her mother.

So when Laudna says they should go together, Imogen leaps at the chance. Here's someone whose thoughts don't hurt. And sure, maybe Laudna can look a little scary sometimes, but she's a nice person, even if Pâté is a little weird. And Laudna is thrilled, because no one has ever wanted to stay with her before. So yes, Laudna will take Imogen to Jrusar, even if it's light-years away and she has no idea how to get there. She will risk going to one of the core worlds if Imogen wants to go.

my work wants to use chatgpt for the writing part of my job to give us more time for the other more tedious stuff..... love that my career plans are literally "anything involving writing" but give it five years I'll probably be applying for like "ai text editor" jobs or something 👍

[nthflower]

One of my fave curie fo4 thing is she is so deathly with melee. And it's a bug actually but I completely accept it as canon. I love how she is like "peace and love 😘💕" and five minutes later taking down a behemoth with some random machete she found.

new job wants me to make ai generated content for them for the marketing department (as an added responsibility to my existing role) and i'm gonna say no and hope i still have a job after ✌️

[ultramaga]

DND will be produced entirely by AI, with WotC charging through the nose for access.

OK.

But AI output is not copyrightable.

They have tried lying. That didn't work. What happens if they try to enforce that IP?

I could take their work - search and replace names - and sell it myself.

Do they need a new Sonny Bonno to go to Washington with bribes donations to change the laws to their favor?

Debunking the Myth: AI vs. Human Creativity in Content Creation

In today's world, no one questions whether a calculation is done manually or by a calculator—it’s the result that matters. Efficiency and accuracy take precedence over methodology in mathematics. Yet, when it comes to writing, the narrative shifts dramatically. A decade ago, content faced criticism for being copy-pasted from Google; now, the focus has shifted to whether it is AI-generated. This misplaced scrutiny undermines the essence of creativity and the true value of written content.

Let’s take a step back and reflect. English, like all languages, operates within a finite structure: 26 letters, words derived from dictionaries, and grammar that dictates the rules. AI doesn’t invent new alphabets, coin unprecedented words, or establish fresh grammatical frameworks. It works within the same linguistic boundaries as human writers. The question, therefore, shouldn’t be whether AI is involved but whether the content is meaningful, engaging, and effective in achieving its purpose....Expand

is literally anything better than an employer emailing YOU asking YOU if you want to work for them and offering TWENTY AN HOUR plus every benefit known to man?

Tim & Jason have both read the entire Dragon Riders of Pern series.

They regularly have very loud arguments over what genre it falls into.

Rp Character Idea:

Fantasy Elf Female

This character designed was in the likeness of my Baldur's Gate 3 Tav. I have a mod that gives my Tav Orin the Red's long hairstyle, and I was obsessed with it, so I had to include it in this design. Of course, AI didn't get it right every single time, but her overall look remained consistent. I used photo realistic or oil on canvas for these images to get different styles. If you use her for your Rp character avatar, I hope the story is full of fun, adventure, friends, and romance.

Noble Team, running from the sudden storm of smutty fic ideas I’m having. 😳😂

You’re gonna have to run faster than THAT, my dudes, I’m just saying... 😛

Seriously, though, why does your brain do things like this? I’m desperately wanting to finish my WIPs but nooooooo, let’s have a bunch of brand new ideas, just ‘cause!

Thank you, Batman. I needed that. *nods* 😉
