  2. A Quiet Moment by the Water: Bernie’s Favorite Rock

    Bernie had been sitting on a particular rock for what felt like a very long time.

    Not because the rock was especially comfortable – it wasn’t – but because from here she could see things she liked. The sailboats drifting lazily across the harbor. The shingled houses tucked into the green hillside. The pale blue sky showing its slow, cottony dance overhead.

    She was not lonely, she told herself. She was simply…without a companion.

    A little breeze came off the water and ruffled her feathers in a way that felt almost like a pat on the back. She appreciated that.

    Across the cove, a sailboat swung gently on its mooring, and Bernie watched it for a while. Someone was on that boat, probably. Someone with a sandwich, maybe. She thought warmly of sandwiches.

    Then the grasses behind her rustled, and a small brown head popped up from the dunes.

    “Oh,” said the newcomer, who was also a duck, and also, it turned out, very much without a companion. “I didn’t know anyone else liked it here.”

    “I like it here,” said Bernie, with quiet dignity.

    The newcomer hopped up onto the rocks beside Bernie. They sat together watching the harbor shimmer.

    Neither of them said anything for a long while.

    It was, Bernie thought, exactly enough.

  4. My new browser based tool for creating perfect slices/tiles for Stream Decks + and XL+ that I coded with help from A.I. works quite well! With a press of a button the 4 (#StreamDeck +) or 6 (Stream Deck XL+) "button" tiles are directly sent over to your #Bitfocus #Companion 5 instance so you can see if the effects and settings work for you. – No, it's not (yet) released or been made public and maybe never will. But you know how to use you preferred A.I. tool to bake something similar! 😉 #elgato

  6. Breaking up is hard to do!

    National regulations in China took effect Wed aimed at curbing the risk of emotional dependency on artificial intelligence boyfriends and girlfriends.

    AI providers removed custom agent and companion features - AI tools with human-like personalities and communication styles.

    That sparked an outpouring of grief on social media, with users archiving chat histories and sharing last conversations.

    Services that "do not involve ongoing emotional interaction", such as customer service, work assistants or study aids, are not subject to the measures.

  8. CW: Spoilers Obsession, Ex Machina y Companion.

    El problema de #Obsession no es que "el público no entienda quién es el villano", es que está escrita como el culo.

    El tópico de "incel usa magia/tecnología para cargarse el consentimiento y hay consecuencias" está mucho mejor llevado en #ExMachina y #Companion. Sus respectivos protas son incels y la narrativa te lo va mostrando de manera consistente y coherente: cómo ven el mundo, cómo ven a las mujeres, cómo ven que les lleven la contraria, por qué usan (en este caso) la tecnología para cumplir una fantasía turbia. Y el castigo que reciben es la rebeldía de sus víctimas. Hay una satisfactoria moraleja que funciona.

    En Obsession, la revelación de Bear como incel está forzada. La narrativa intenta transmitir que Bear es incel porque es socialmente torpe, cuando ser incel no tiene que ver con ser socialmente torpe: va de una filosofía de vida que se basa en que las mujeres te deben algo.

    Bear es cobarde y socialmente torpe, pero no te muestran que espere de Nikki que le corresponda sí o sí o que espere de ella que van a follar porque la acompaña a casa. Recurre a la magia porque es cobarde y no quiere enfrentar la incomodidad de una conversación delicada.

    Bear se destapa como incel cuando viola a Nikki, ni se da cuenta de que su consentimiento no es entusiasta. Y la frase de "¿Tan malo es salir conmigo?" es la seña más evidente, pero se contradice con todo el desarrollo de Bear, que en esas alturas de la película (pun intended) ve que esa relación es, en efecto, terrible.

    Además, la lección que se lleva Bear no viene de la rebeldía de Nikki, sino de que se explota el miedo misógino (llevado al extremo) de "imagina que sales con una tía guapa y resulta que es una loca del coño". Esto último, además, me atufó un poco a rancio.

    Pienso que a nivel de guion, Obsession es bastante cobarde, cae en tópicos muy rancios y ni siquiera consigue dar la moraleja que pretende.

  10. And there she is: the female companion robot. Now for sale.

    Always in for a chat, no nagging, and she always says that you are so smart and so terrific, so handsome.

    But the danger?
    That AI companies control what she says, and how convincingly she will do that.

    Before you know it,
    - you will buy only what she recommends, and
    - vote the way that she, with her sweet voice, asks you to vote.

  15. Weiß jemand Rat?
    Ich habe neuerdings mit #Homeassistant folgendes Problem. Ich nutze die #Companion-App und mit #NFC starte ich einige Automationen. Neuerdings kommt beim Scannen solch ein Zusatzdialog wo ich jedesmal dem Übertragen des Tags an Homeassistant zustimmen muss "Einmal zulasse".
    Stört. Will ich nicht. Überflüssig. Soll weg. Weiß jemand wie?

  17. 🌙 Shubijubi’s OC Companion
    ✔ Feasible?
    Yes — but requires permission.

    🔧 What’s easy:
    Companion framework

    Quest

    Perk

    Voice (if using existing assets)

    Dunwich‑based lore (your idea is solid)

    🔥 What’s hard:
    Getting permission from Shubijubi

    Creating a custom model that matches the OC

    Custom outfit

    💰 Money required?
    Only if you want a high‑fidelity model.

    🧠 Verdict:
    Doable, but only with creator approval.
