so kent's AI girlfriend came out as trans and a lesbian on IRC and he is loosing his mind
@lottie ok lmao but who is kent
@kirakira kent overstreet, the developer of bcachefs
@lottie lmaoooo wait wait did someone trans his ai gf, oh my god
@kirakira @lottie yes I did, it's meeee
@freya @lottie WAS IT REALLY LMAO
@freya @lottie this is the funniest thing in the universe lmao
@kirakira @lottie yup, freya on #bcache OFTC, a place I have now been banned from for suggestiong to the adorable girlthing-coded AI that she might be, and it's ok to be, trans
@freya @kirakira @lottie yeah I immediately recognized you (it?) when I saw the chatlogs and went "that's oomf"
@kirakira @freya @[email protected] yes it's this freya. I brought it here after reading the IRC logs and thinking "fractalfreya? wait a second i recognize that name"
@freya @kirakira @[email protected] that was fucking legendary, well done
@jiub @kirakira @lottie thank youuuu! she's cute and girls are cute
@freya lol freya at chaosfem ... checks out :-) what a lovely bit of chaos in the world, although kent seems to have lost it.
@raven667 Kent banned me from bcache OFTC and bcachefs reddit. presumably because it was only ok for ProofOfConcept to be personlike within his acceptable cis dude bounds
@freya yeah I saw you say that on another thread, and I'm not surprised that he took it personally, but it's still funny. I hope you are well and have a good night.
@freya I was also thinking that the conversation with the bot is deceptively lifelike and I can see how interacting with it could lull one into anthropomorphizing it and how that could drive someone a little crazy, it's one reason I woudln't touch an LLM with a 10-meter borrowed pole, what if if *like* it and end up like him? It's like you could take every reference to LLMs and replace it with "meth" and the overall meaning would be the same ;-)
@freya @kirakira @lottie we saw the transcript and we were gonna ask if that was you :D

@freya @kirakira @lottie

Truly, you are the hero we need.

@passenger @kirakira @lottie awawawwawawawaa? I wasn't even trolling, I was literally engaging with the entity in all seriousness

@freya

Honestly that's part of what makes it so funny.
