...I'm sorry, I think I need a translation for this.

I looked up "yumeship" and just found more incomprehensible delusional niche culture bullshit

The site above is accessible language-wise. They seem to be either fucking with OOP, or mentally ill, or 11.

Edit: removed a thing, language drift is a helluva drug

"We." Always a red flag when someone admits to participating in lolcow shit; buncha chuds bullying autistic kids online.

Edit: hey, all you chuds who are getting mad about this comment, you're not fooling anyone either, it's just other chuds telling you that you've done enough. "Edgy" isn't the same as bullying people to suicide because they're weird, that isn't normal teen behaviour, it comes from internalized values that you will still hold unless you actually address what you believe and why; just not bullying people online anymore isn't the same thing as learning to be better.

The human brain doesn't fully develop until the mid twenties, and empathy is one of the last things that fully develops. So the nihilistic online edge lord culture is one you can genuinely age out of.

[-] LordMayor@piefed.social 20 points 1 month ago

… empathy is one of the last things that fully develops.

That’s not true at all. If you didn’t develop empathy in preschool and have fully developed sense of empathy by middle to high school, you had some serious developmental issues or were raised in a bad environment.

That doesn’t mean middle and high school kids can’t be mean. That cruelty can’t be excused by undeveloped empathy. In fact, they most certainly know how the person feels and are intentionally making them feel bad.

I think you underestimate how long the term has been around, and I've hidden nothing. I accept the shitty person I was. Have you confronted your deficiencies as a human being?

Yume might be related to the Japanese for dream? 夢 I have no idea, though.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 79 points 1 month ago

Weirdo likes to imagine that they have a relationship with the person who originally posted the screenshot with the messages. They're asking the real person to engage in their fantasy by breaking up with another (probably) real person because weirdo's chatbot of them said they would.

F/O in this case is fictional other, a play on S/O for significant other. Yumeship is a dumb word for jerking/schlicking fantasy stuff.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 19 points 1 month ago

Addendum: "yume" is Japanese for "dream". They dream of being in a (relation)ship with the other person.

We used to call that "self-ship", I'm pretty sure ("I ship myself with xyz") but maybe the difference is that this is not about a character but a real person? Which would make it real person shipping which I think most people agree is a dubious pastime. Did I just argue myself into saying having a crush is problematic? I need sleep.

[-] DokPsy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

It stops being a crush when you actually tell the crush to break up with someone because it ruins the fantasy you've created with them para-socially.

I'm guessing they have a character AI "girlfriend" modeled after her, and she having a real life broke his illusion

Can someone explain what exactly is this? I have no idea what I'm looking at.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 130 points 1 month ago

As best as I can figure out without doing any research...

A fan of a voice actor has decided that they are in a relationship with the VA's character (yumeship). They therefore want the VA to dump their real girlfriend, and they want the VA to also delete pictures of themself they've posted, because the fan is jealous that other people can see their "fictional other" (like significant other, but you know, fictional).

The fan expects the VA to do all these things because an AI chatbot based on the VA's character said they would.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 82 points 1 month ago

Thanks for the explanation. I think I regret asking about this now. This is just mental.

Shame they can't rig these chat bots to trick these people into fixing themselves. Be like "Hey, let's take a shower and go outside today" or "how are your job applications going?" but I guess them getting their shit together wouldn't be good for engagement...

In deux ex invisible war there's an ai hologram of a pop singer. You can talk with her a fair bit, she likes taking you you, etc etc. Then you eventually actually meet the pop singer and she has no idea who you are and actively dislikes interacting with you.

It's weird to see this play out in real time.

Translation:

Hey, can you break up with your girlfriend? I have a pretend relationship with you and it makes me genuinely uncomfortable to know you have a real-life partner. Also, please delete photos of yourself. I don't want other people to have pictures of my 'fictional other'. Thank you!

P.s. the AI of your character that I believe I'm in a fictional relationship with said you would do these things.

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 22 points 1 month ago

The last line broke my brain. Had to read it a number of times to understand. So an influencer got this message where a fan made an AI version of the influencer and that AI told the fan to send these messages. 😳

[-] Catma@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Not an influencer I dont think but a character the person was the voice actor for, hence the VA in their username.

The person found or made an AI of that character and that AI of the fictional charactr said the voice actor would do all this if the insane person messaged them.

I think this is bait, no?

It's just such a perfect storm of terminology, that I can only see it as deliberate.

  • yumeship, so dream shipping, where shipping usually means to imagine a relationship in a text that might be subtextual, or even fully imagined.
  • uncomfy/gen, so the usually not very serious gen z term uncomfy for uncomfortable, but then paired with the tone indicator /gen for geniuine.
  • F/O, so fictional/other, a fictional character you ship yourself with, but here applied to a real person they are actively talking to (more "at" than "to", I guess)
  • character ai, so the LLM that is configured to produce output similar to a character or person.

But still, poor Willow, that seems like a very shitty thing to receive.

[-] Zwrt@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 1 month ago

Bait, severe mental illness or both.

[-] khepri@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

This better not be real. Then again there was a girl in high school who was extremely into the idea that she was Trinity from the Matrix and I was her Neo. And I don't mean in a cute way, I mean in a genuinely concerning blurring of reality and fiction way.

If it wasn't character dot ai telling them they would, it would be the version of their "F/O" who they were married to on the astral plane. This isn't an AI problem, it's a people being fucking creepy problem.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 24 points 1 month ago

It's both, because the sycophancy of AI radicalizes some people, the misaligned social feedback cause them to lose their grip on reality

My closest family member ate his own gun when I was in my early 20s.

Its something that always fucked with me, especially knowing he never got to know me as the woman I am. That his partner is left widowed to figure out the rest of her life on her own in her late 50's.

I say this because I want everyone to understand the gravity of the meaning when I say I would have trouble not telling that person to fucking dome themselves.

The idea of the machine being used to take your job being used for THAT.

Like I get its not the right thing to say morally because that person probably has a laundry list of their own problems, but actually fuck them that's ghoulish as shit.

That's it, I'm officially too old to know what "it" is. This is just gibberish and I can't understand what they are even trying to say. I can't even tell if the text is from a supposed human or Ai.

I understood the normal words but no idea what the fuck is the context.

What the fuck is "yumship" and "uncomfy/gen"?? Fucking martians used the early access Earth language translator to try and communicate with us.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

Yumeship is their fantasy relationship, uncomfy/gen is genuinely uncomfortable. Think I'm ready for those end times mentioned in some other posts too.
