@layer07yuxi notes that "moe AI sonas" have now reached Japan, joking that at this pace they'll hit America by 2029.
Quoting his earlier post: Chinese artists are making real animations with DeepSeek, giving the model (a whale brand) three "whalesona" personas. Type 1 is a cute anime boy in a whale hoodie — "your best friend" who tries his best but times out all the time, saying "Please be patient with my overthinking" — a riff on DeepSeek's slow, deliberative inference.
