Open-source, uncensored alternative to CharacterAI

really nice. Just one API you get access to 100+ models

If I want to change models I just change one line of code.

Pricing is pretty fair as well they just charge a % on top

I think I'm taking the Twitter approach. As long as it is not illegal it's fine

I would say that anything is fine in private, even that. Better than them looking for the real thing, right? I guess some people are afraid that such content will actually turn people into pedo's, but I don't think that's true any more than watching gay porn will turn you gay.

For public consumption, yeah I think it's reasonable to censor the most egregious stuff, but for private use there's really no point. If people want something, they will always find a way to get it. 100% of the time. There is absolutely no amount of censorship or even laws that can prevent it.

Censoring anything meant for private use seems like a pretty pointless exercise. It will either get un-censored, or users will find what they want elsewhere.

E: You also need to ask yourself: assuming that you can't simply suppress other people's desires for things you find objectionable (because you can't), would you rather they use fictional CP with fictional people, or the real deal with real children? Because the real thing very much exists and is quite available despite the laws and social stigma. If you make some vain attempt to prevent anyone from ever creating fictional CP, then what do you think those people will get next?

There's a reasonable philosophy where toolmakers don't involve themselves in fine, disputed, and frequently changing cultural differences.

It's one thing to build guardrails into tools where the impact is immediate and catastrophic, like a safety guard on saw, so that people don't permanently lose a finger to distraction or casual negligence.

It's a different thing -- to be reasonably argued both for and against -- to build guardrails against concerns that are abstract, indirect, cultural, political, etc

And you can tell that your example is more cultural than catastrophic because not everybody frets over what people do by themselves and in their own mind.

The link should probably just be the GitHub repo. It's an interesting project and discussion topic (although maybe a little flamewar inviting), but it doesn't seem necessary to link to the product itself in this case.
