last week i was sitting at a red light and was getting honked at SOOOOOOO MUCH and looked up and this guy was slamming the horn and the girl in the passenger seat was like trying to pull his arms away from the horn. then i remembered i have this bumper sticker
so some news about AI. It seems Discord is apparently just. going to unconsentually add Clyde AI to servers in a slow roll out. The way they are doing this is rather than how we initially suspected he would show up as an option via the integrations tab on server settings, it appears that he is apparently being added into servers as a user who is part of the server that the admin would have to manually kick. He cannot be banned, but we can kick him repeatedly. The issue is it’s unclear if there will be a greeting message for when Clyde arrives into servers and he will attempt to infiltrate again and again. Small servers this is easy to spot, big servers this is an obvious issue of sifting through who is in your server.
if you see this man in your server kill him
Important to note this has only been seen so far in a friend server and I have only seen it in one server so far. Community servers might be different it is simply something we do not know yet.
Here is an article from Discord about this thag updated about an hour ago
Aside from that I was able to go into permissions and make it so nobody in my server could interact with Clyde. I still do not know what information Clyde and by extension OpenAI has from what it might have taken from my server to “make Clyde better” there was no warning and no message despite how discord had pitched this. It says in this article that it will notify users but Discord did not do that at all.
Fuck AI
Another update! You can only kick Clyde in mobile if you are a server mod and you have to go through server settings and then members and click on clyde and then block!
If you want to let Discord know how bad this is, go to their feedback page and post a topic.
The workaround for banning the bot doesn’t work anymore, but thanks to a reddit user, banning it via number ID DOES work, and I tested it myself to be sure!
Happy Bot Hunting, everyone!

@doedipus ALSO tagged me in a chain letter which I had been putting off for a while, with the prompt:
RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.
so this is kind of embarrassing but as we approach nanowrimo I’ve barely done any prep, which is really bad considering I’ve been totally burned out lately with work/learning a new trade. the context for the following is just some notes on my phone about how powerscaling in my nanowrimo project’s setting is supposed to work. the line I’m selecting for this prompt as follows:
“However, as his cultural and underground influence expanded as Ethan Kyler, as well as his inexplicable luck and notoriety as “the strongest hero” became more apparent, his XVR skyrocketed to A.”
@werewolfmali tagged me in this prompt and I promise I didn’t forget but I got busy and I didn’t want to reblog it from the original chain to keep the OP’s notes from getting bloated.
the original prompt was 5 things you like about yourself and then tagging 10 favorite followers; I’m going to keep the tag meme smaller so that it doesn’t feel spammy but I think it would be nice if everyone I tagged thought about themselves in a good way.
1. I like that I’m handy and able to figure out solutions to problems around the home pretty quickly. that’s mostly a self taught skill.
2. I’m proud of my skill in writing also since that’s the one thing I can point to and say objectively I’m good at it.
3. I like my body a lot, but I’m a bit bashful about sharing that. I feel pretty cozy.
4. I try to be kind and remain hopeful throughout everything, and I hope that rubs off on other people.
Hey, Tumblr. You like non-stereotypical depictions of autism? What about ✨ neurodivergent protagonists ✨ ? Yes? What about asexual neurodivergent protagonists that go on chapters-long rants about their special interests? You want gay characters that are important to the plot too? Then I’ve got the book for you! The author is gay!!! American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis, is
Video games will stick a vaguely posh human name on the big scary monster’s health bar to let you know they were once human, but isn’t that a bit limiting? I think walking blasphemies against the natural order should be allowed to be fancy lads if they want to be. That hundred-foot pillar of screaming teeth is called Dr. Throckmorton Pomberley. What are you going to do, argue with it?
