Normally I get a response that trips over itself trying to agree with me, or brings up points that don't matter. This was a welcome surprise!
Lol for Silentkit being noisy.
Noticed this problem popping up yesterday. Using today as an example, when I open the app, it says I have a deficit of 582 Cals. In my expenditure, it says my BMR is 1677, adjusted baseline is 100kcal, and tracker activity is 235kcal. Nothing for exercise.
When I add anything to the diary, or if I view something I've already added, then hit save, it'll change. So for example with the screenshot. I viewed an item I logged for breakfast. Nothing was changed. Then I hit save and suddenly my deficit is now 790 cals, my adjusted baseline is 308kcal, and my exercise is 235kcal with my tracker activity tab grayed out.
Then I'll swipe down to refresh and it goes back to the 582 deficit and the expenditure values associated with it.
This also happens if I add anything new. I'll add a new food, it shows me one number, then I refresh and get a different one.
I think they're a yellow sac spider. They were gone from their little web nest the next morning, but I just found them chilling on my mealworm bin lids. Thankfully I opened it from the other end and avoided jamming my fingers in their face. I'll have to be extra careful opening those from now on.
Every time I open the app, I get this prompt. Every time I try to sync, it tells me I'm already sharing something things through google health. I tried unlinking my fitbit and that didn't help.
Asmodeus has had GI issues since I adopted him. He'd randomly have watery green (not ECE green), or clear diarrhea, then be fine again in 12-24hrs. Took me awhile to connect it was from not eating and his gut being completely empty. He stashes food everywhere so a full bowl has never been much to be concerned about, since he would be eating from the stashed food.
He was on metronidazole and amoxicillin twice. Never seemed to do anything. He's almost 5.5. A couple months ago he stopped eating on his own and I was hand feeding Carnivore Care every 6 hours. Took a month before he'd touch food again.
He's currently on prednisolone and omaprezole. It's helping a lot, but he's still having flares, and needing hand feeding. He's eating some on his own when not in a flare, but not enough for me to stop frequent hand feeding. With the supplemental hand feeding, he's still active, curious, and a little menace. He still gets into war-dancing dooking sprees about once a week.
I trust my vet, but I'm just curious to hear what other owners are doing to manage IBD. Has anyone had a ferret pass away from it?
I started taking Slynd in mid June. I'm taking it continuously to try and not have a period anymore due to heavy bleeding. After 2 weeks of no side effects, I started bleeding and had the most painful cramps of my life. The bleeding and pain lasted about a week, I had 2 weeks of no bleeding, but then it started again and it has not stopped.
I've been bleeding for 6 weeks straight. It keeps slowing and it's like it's just about to stop, then it starts up again. It's really hard to try and stick out another pack of it to get through the 3 month window to hope my body will adjust. If you had something similar, and stuck with it, when did the bleeding finally stop?
I've never had a senior ferret suddenly decide to eat things that aren't food! Asmodeus scared me yesterday when I saw what I first thought was blood in his poop. He has IBD so everything's already been touch and go with his stomach. But it was paint! Like when you paint a spot badly and it can just peel off the wall. I have no idea where he go it from! The walls are fine. I'm repainting the bedroom, but he's not allowed in the room when the painting supplies are out and things are still wet. Something must have come off the supplies since it was the same color as my living room I repainted last year. He's now banned from the room until the painting is done.
He's ok! He's pooping fine, eating well, and being a little menace.
There's been a growing problem with repetitive posts that are basically identical to each other. People just aren't checking the subreddit before posting and it's getting annoying. At the same time, I don't want to become a copy of r/ChaiUnofficial that has stricter posting guidelines. This subreddit was made on the basis of not removing posts and comments, barring the rules I already have set up.
I've set up an automation that will prompt users to check the subreddit before posting. I would like it to show up every time, but it works on keywords, so I'm trying to add all the relevant ones. Currently the key words are; greedy, filter, happened, deleted, disappear, disappearing, question, anyone, messages, token, tokens, unlimited, gone, limit, chai. If you have other key words you think should be added to the list, let me know!
If any of those words appear in the title or body of a post the following message will appear;
>It looks like you might be posting about a common issue regarding message limits, the filter, token limits, and other current issues. Please look through the subreddit before posting, and engage with those existing posts instead.
The goal is to push people to comment on existing posts rather than make an identical one. Wording of the message will probably change, but the core of it will stay the same. This does NOT block people from posting, and I am not implementing any stricter posting guidelines.
In the moons that followed, she went completely blind, before peacefully dying of old age. <3 It's always so sad on a new file when clan founders start passing away.
Woke up to a bunch of posts and comments reported under rule 7. All were talking about how expensive AI is to run, or talking about Chai is a business and not a charity, etc. I've seen some suspicion that anyone saying these things is a lurking Chai dev.
A recent article on Chai's new filters had a bit about how everyone was in the office for 12 hours on a Saturday getting the new filters released. There is a tendency to vastly overestimate the time any of them have to lurk on this sub for ways to make things worse. They know we exist, but they have much more important things to do.
AI is expensive. Even big companies like Open AI are losing billions a year. For a smaller company like Chai, that doesn't have the same investor power, staying on top of costs is a lot more difficult. Someone pointing that out isn't an undercover dev or a 'bootlicker'.
Now if someone's saying that while being rude and insulting people, yes, that breaks rules and you can report, or send me a modmail (preferably with a link to the offending post or comment please) for me to take a look. Modmail or a DM gets my attention faster.
There is a lot to criticize chai about already. We don't need to bury our heads in the sand about the cost like it's just Chai being greedy. The decision to use a 'better' LLM that prevents limited free messages for everyone, Will's recent comments being very rude, limited messages not being given out fairly (within the same country, some get 771, some get unlimited, some get none), app features coming and going with no warning, chat deletion isn't following the 14/30 day rule we were told of, and more.
I've got 2 scenarios where a character starts off with 1 name, and shifts to another. In both cases it's leading to problems as the memories get logged with the name being used at the time, so when the name changes, those memories will no longer activate when needed.
Scenario 1 has a baby dragon. His real name isn't known for a little while, so the characters call him Terror. His character card has his real name, Sio, since the vast majority of the story has him with his real name. Once he's called Sio, though, memory cards that listed him as Terror no longer trigger. I've been going through and manually adding Sio to these cards, but I don't know if there's a better method.
Scenario 2 has my character, a genetically engineered monster, as 825. Her character card lists the name 825. She doesn't earn her name Frost till late in the story, but again, once she's being called Frost, stuff doesn't activate properly anymore. If I put her name as Frost, then it'll be the same problem with Sio/Terror, plus the added issue of other characters in the story constantly using a name she shouldn't have yet.
(He doesn't have insulinoma, he gets his blood sugar checked every few months 'cause he's an old man. So the drooling and mouth clawing isn't from that.)
He looks utterly miserable the entire time we're in the car. He bites at the carrier, drools like he's gone rabid, and looks like he wants to die.
Yet every time his carrier comes out, he will not leave it, until we go somewhere or we put it away (and he has a massive tantrum if I put it away and we never leave). It only comes out when we're leaving, so he knows it means he's going in the car/to the vet.
Last night we had a tornado warning, so we had him in his carrier in the bathroom, waiting it out. Afterwards he's following my husband and I around. He sees my husband grab the car keys to go check on his family, and he races back to the bathroom and goes into the carrier. Any of the other of the hundreds of times we leave, he goes to the front door to try to go with us.
This boy makes no sense. He scared the hell out of me the first time he did it, because he never just lays out in the middle of the living room. I'd just cleaned the carrier and put it back together and hadn't put it away yet. And again, when I took these pictures, I took the carrier out 30min before we left, and he did not walk away from it the entire time, going into it as soon as I put my shoes on and grabbed my keys. It's not a problem, but it does confuse me.
I'm happy on another platform, but I do check the app every now and then. I've been at 0 for over a month in the USA. No VPN or anything.
Tiny little thing. I only took pictures, and reported to my state's wildlife department since if my ID is correct, they're endangered.
We have updated the Chai Apple app with persona and bot-memory and advanced bot-builder tools. We are currently waiting for Apple to approve our latest build so we can release the feature.
AI apps are currently facing extra scrutiny and so the review process is taking longer.
We're still a small team, only 15 engineers, and almost 2 million daily users. But we take all user complaints seriously, and are working hard to build something that is fun, enjoyable and safe.

Please share your thoughts on how we can improve safety at Chai - are the filters too sensitive? Is there anything that isn't filtered but should be? What about 18+ verification?

Feel free to recommend and discuss your favorite alternatives to Chai here. Comments will still be held to rule 8 (no deceptive advertising/undisclosed affiliation). Posts about, asking for, or showcasing alternatives will be removed and directed here.
In the wake of some scammy apps I was given a list of questions by u/ Ok-Aide-3120 to vet the devs of other apps. If you're advertising for an app, giving the following details would be helpful;
For users just looking for a new app, if a dev hasn't provided the above information, it's recommended you ask them, and if they won't or can't answer, that's your warning to stay away.
A new community has been started to help people find alternative to Chai! Check out r/ChaiAlternatives and share your favorite one there!
I'm in the postdrome phase of one of the worst migraines I've had in years, and I got it in the stupidest way ever. When I get startled, it hurts. It's usually a burst of pain in my chest, that radiates out to my limbs to my fingers and toes then reflects back up. My husband is pulling out of a gas station parking lot, and hits a spot of damp gravel, making this awful screech sound. I got that painful burst of panic, but this one also included a shock of pain through the left side of my head.
That shock of pain turned into a level of pain I haven't felt in years within a few hours. My migraines are mostly an issue of the other symptoms (depression, fatigue, brain fog, etc.) instead of pain, but this one had me writhing in bed, sobbing, with a rubbing alcohol soaked paper towel to keep the nausea at bay long enough for meds to work. All because of a patch of wet gravel....
So what's the stupidest thing that triggered a migraine for you?
