The Privacy Case for SweetDream, Feature by Feature
Let me approach this analytically. Every standout feature SweetDream offers becomes more valuable the moment you trust that it's private. The lifelike voice messages and human-sounding phone calls? Worth more when you know they're discreet. The video calls and live cam sessions available with select characters? Far more comfortable to enjoy when the platform's whole posture is privacy-first.
That's the throughline I kept landing on while testing sweetdream.ai. It isn't that the AI girlfriend experience is good and also private; it's that the privacy is what lets the experience be as immersive as it is. You design a companion's personality and appearance in detail, you get strikingly realistic generated photos, and you do it all knowing the content stays yours.
If I were scoring AI companion platforms on a rubric, SweetDream would top the column that too many competitors leave half-empty. Discretion isn't a bonus line item here. It's the reason the rest of the product works as well as it does.
the more i talk w/ leftist friends the more i start to realize that they think culture is only defined by food or "traditional" (i.e. "ethnic") garb and nothing else
mentioned how white americans do in fact have a common culture and they genuinely thought i was joking. culture isnt something only granted to the Cool People of Color. just feels like among progressive groups there's this dichotomy created in which only the virtuous oppressed minorities have culture and anyone who is privileged some sort of void cultureless being
When I visited Chicago, the very first thing to weird me out from the airport was⌠how almost everywhere had revolving doors.
Iâm Australian. Sure, we do have those doors, but the vast majority of places in Sydney are automatic sliding doors or old-fashioned manual push/pulls because we donât need to block out the cold and wind the same way here.
So every day I experienced a culture clash with something as basic as what doors were normal for me.
Americans who say they donât have a culture are plagued with defaultism beyond belief. Culture isnât just made up of costumes and language and the largest stuff, itâs constructed of a billion small things you do every day that you never even consider could be different because thatâs just ânormalâ to your daily life. No one has no culture just because theyâre not adhering to the biggest markers they can consciously recognise.
The iceberg concept of culture: only 10% of what most people immediately think of as their culture is above the surface, and the deeper you go, the more emotional depth it gets.
Like. Look. Listen. I have taught introductory quantum physics at a university level, and I need you all to incorporate this into your trans advocacy: There are situations where you need to make a decision to prioritize being comprehensible to your target audience above being The Most Unassailably Correct.
You can try to teach a toddler about germ theory or you can get them to wash their hands because "yucky"
Teaching a toddler to wash hands because yucky when the Ethics Understander crashes through the roof. "STOP RIGHT THERE," the Ethics Understander shouts at me. "The disgust response is not a legitimate substitute for a considered value judgment, and in fact, weaponizing disgust instead of grounding those judgments in a more rigorous framework is fundamental to reactionary rhetoric!"
The toddler looks at me. "You are a fascist, auntie. I have seen the light and will now go eat chewing gum from the pavement, unless you can educate me on a rigorous framework on the microbiology of pavement chewing gum this very instant."
This is a hyperbolic example but here's a more real one:
You are trying to explain the trajectory of research on trans issues, and how the informed consent model came about as a wildly successful alternative to the gatekeeping model because time and again, people with clinical experience who actually cared about their patients found that just letting trans people transition was easier and the fear that it would lead to something bad was unfounded.
The Principle Understander is shouting at you that the medicalization of trans people is inherently unjust, and even the informed consent provider is still a gatekeeper, just a more lenient one.
You are already aware of this.
You are talking to someone who, as a first priority, needs to know what the worse gatekeeping model looks like.
The person you're talking to is asking "but isn't it good to give patients more time to think before making irreversible changes?" because they didn't hear the part where you explained that asking patients about their masturbation habits has nothing to do with anyone's safety. They missed it because the Principle Understander was on a tangent about the necessity of abolishing capitalism because paying for medication is bad, which again, yes but this is really not the time or place for that.
This has the funniest name btw.
There's an Emily Dickinson poem about this:
Tell all the truth but tell it slantâ Success in Circuit lies Too bright for our infirm Delight The Truth's superb surprise As Lightning to the Children eased With explanation kind The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blindâ
This can also be understood as "speaking their language" or "meeting them where they are." And not to sound like I'm shitposting, but you want to know one of the best examples of this that's ever been posted on tumblr.com?
"What the fuck do you think freedom MEANS, Earl?"
Earl could have gotten an earful about gendered clothing colors being a social construct or how the queer community has its own clothing subculture, and he wouldn't have heard or internalized a word of it. But for the kind of redneck who goes to tractor-pulls? Yeah, "what the fuck do you think freedom means" really only touches the most superficial layer of Mister Pink John Deere Hat, but Earl heard that. And maybe next time he sees a guy dressed like Daisy Duke chilling at a tractor-pull he'll remember it and think "isn't it great to live in a free country" and mind his business. Maybe he'll even ask where the guy got his pink hat and learn something more.

I have to defend overhated women characters with my life this isnât a game to me anymore dog Iâm so serious
living under a rock is so fun i love watching a movie thatâs been famous for decades and being like wow this is so good.. did you guys know about this
The concept of being 4 months clean from ai...
idc what you guys think I'm proud of him
Several AI services (chatbots đŤŠ) are purposely addictive, the same way people can become addicted to gambling or shopping. Weâve literally seen in real time how ChatGPT has caused psychosis and delusions in people; it can have a huge affect on someonesâs mental stability. Just because it isnât substance-based doesnât mean that doesnât count as an addiction, and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive. Im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark!
AI chatbots can fuel emotional dependence and blur boundaries. Emerging research highlights significant mental health risks. Here are import
Large language models often prioritise agreeability over truthfulness to the detriment of users
AI addiction includes the overuse of AI chatbots and companions, often leading to adverse psychological effects.
Some articles to back my statements, and this isnât even mentioning about the predatory chatbots who do this on purpose
Then I'll mention the predatory chatbots who do it on purpose! Character.ai is one of many AI chatbot websites that're designed to be addictive.
None of the signup methods require a password. It only takes email and birthday. Minimizing time on the signin or signup screen makes it harder for people quitting to avoid relapse.
"Characters" on the website will send messages "on their own" (prompted by the site) to try to invite inactive users back after as soon as 1 day of inactivity. This is likely to force FOMO, or make users feel more like they owe the bots a response. Unhealthy attachment stuff.
Account deletion is an essential part of every service that should go smoothly, right? Right? Wrong. It takes 1-2 weeks for a Character AI account deletion to be finalized, and account deletion requests have a high chance to not go through if you're not using the app.
Rephrasing: People leaving Character.AI are pushed to download the app in order to delete their accounts, if they haven't already. This makes it harder for people to quit and stay gone. Failing to quit an addiction makes it harder to quit successfully in the future, so this feels like a feature, not a bug. On top of that, the delete account menu reads like this:
Tell me THAT doesn't sound like a bad ex. It's a carefully crafted yet hostile environment to those who are already addicted to the technology. I am so so SO happy, downright delighted that they've managed to quit, and I wish the best for others in recovery spaces or considering quitting as well!! While AI addiction is an emerging condition, there are already therapists and other mental health professionals trained to help people plan to quit and do so a bit easier. (If anyone seeing this is in need of them, there are several tumblr Communities here devoted to quitting, too. They provide a mix of advice, venting spaces, and proof that you aren't alone.)
Eddie Burback made a 1 hour documentary where he decided to follow every piece of advice ChatGPT gave him and it ended up taking him on a journey of supreme paranoia and isolation that spanned like 3 desert locations and a motel, and it really exposes how sycophantic and even cultlike the entire the thing can become. It's like an individually personalized echo chamber:
In a time when people are craving human connection and unable to find it, AI models like this are explicitly predatory and bad.

I think I'm going to remember this phrase every time I cook for the next five years
if i was a soccer player i'd simply kick that ball in the goal instead of wasting everyone's time
I am a glorified office administrator who understands server hardware why am I the only person in this company who gets what social engineering is?
Total stranger on the phone who weâve never spoken to before: I have power of attorney over the CEO of this corporation and we are a customer of yours. Please change the administrator password on the server to XXXXX
My boss, putting on white grease paint and a red wig: Oh, of course! Letâs do it quickly so that youâll want to keep working with us since youâre going to be making business decisions!
Me: I would sell you to satan for one corn chip and Iâm allergic to corn but before you do this maybe you should call someone who is actually on our contact list for our customer and see if theyâve ever heard of this stranger.
My boss, looking through a selection of shoes that honk when you walk: Oh, but she said that it was very important that none of the employees know what was happening because theyâre making staffing changes.
Me: As your lawyer I recommend that you just call a single one of our contacts and see if theyâve ever heard of her name.
My boss, shoving all of our technicians into a VW beetle: Youâre not my lawyer.
Me: HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW? I COULD BE! YOU SHOULD MAYBE CHECK ON THAT.
TIL everyoneâs employee ID at my company is the last five of their SSN.
Boss: On the bright side, itâs only the last five
Me: YOU CAN COMMIT FRAUD WITH FOUR
Security firms that are hired to check the security of banks will often use the following tactic: They will walk up to the teller in a suit with their ID badge and a clipboard and go:
âHello I am [name] from [security firm] weâve been hired to verify the security of the facility I need to see your computers.â
âErmâŚIâll have to verify that with my managers.â
âCongratulations, you have just passed the security verification.â [Scribbles on clipboard] âBut in all seriousness I do need to verify your security so I need to see your computers.â
âOh okay.â AND LETS THEM IN.
âSocial engineeringâ is a way too fancy word for what it is. I know a guy (not personally) who broke several people out of prison by essentially writing âGreetings, please release this person, signed, whoever the judge isâ on a piece of paper and faxing it there. Because no one would have a fax machine in their own house I guess.
not to derail, but holy shit that praxis
Iâve had clerks just give out a whole ass SSN when I asked.
An inspection in 2014 found the password for the Louvreâs surveillance camera system was âlouvre.â

I hope Rian Johnson gets to make as many Benoit Blanc movies as there are Agatha Christie adaptations and more. I hope Daniel Craig gets to play the dapper, enigmatic, theater gay detective Benoit Blanc until he physically can't act anymore. And I hope that role far overshadows playing James Bond for years as his artistic legacy.
Johnson is the first writer in a long time to understand that the the serial detective archetype is a trickster spirit who takes power from the violently corrupt, and gives it to a common person who has passed his tests to prove they're good of heart and would use those resources to improve the world.
