Cyberpunk 2077: AI Roleplay Companions What started as a thought experiment / learning opportunity bore unexpected fruit: dynamic, lore-accurate LLMs that engage in conversation strictly in-character. Part 2: Judy Álvarez, chilling in her den under Lizzy's Bar #Cyberpunk2077 | #OpenAI | #ChatGPT

Cyberpunk 2077: AI Roleplay Companions What started as a thought experiment / learning opportunity bore unexpected fruit: dynamic, lore-accurate LLMs that engage in conversation strictly in-character. Part 1: Johnny Silverhand, currently trapped in V's head #Cyberpunk2077 | #OpenAI | #ChatGPT

A family built on loyalty, not blood. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

History records the aftermath, not the fight. This is an open grave for the Aldecaldos. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

The wreckage still burns, the AV hovers like a vulture, and the dust hasn’t even settled. The cost of this Relic is being paid by more than just V, whether they realize it or not. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Launcher slung over her shoulder, dust kicking up around her—this is just another day in the Badlands for Panam. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Johnny lingers in the background, coiled up like a snake. Panam moves forward, acting on instinct . They exist in the same space but aren’t really in the same world. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

This member of Boz's 6th Street gang has a dusty, rural sheriff vibe that I love. Such a great contrast to the gangers you see inside Night City. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Panam's obsession with her ride is understandable when you consider what it represents: freedom. She's free to make her way in the world as she wishes, and more importantly, she's free to provide for herself and her greater family. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

The badlands seem like an escape from NC, but it's all an illusion; the clock is still ticking and V is likely to burn out long before she finds Hellman and gets rid of the Relic. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Meeting Rogue is jarring after seeing Johnny's memories of her in 2023 and 2013. She's still a professional, but that feels like it's evolved into a survival instinct... every move is analyzed, adjusted, and executed to minimize risk. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

I love the little nod you get from Emmerick when you return to the Afterlife after the Heist. Reputation is everything here, and the trail of blood V left from here to Konpeki and back is bound to be remembered. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Reed is such a frightening mirror for Johnny; both are absolutely driven by their principals, but Johnny's are personal so they can flex or evolve when necessary. Reed's principals aren't really his own... they're cold and immutable. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Trying to explain payphones to a youngster. Next topic: cheating the collect call system by yelling "Mom, pick me up!" when it asks for your name and then hanging up. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

This place reminds me a lot of Kowloon Walled City #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

First night in Dogtown. Slumming it with a fascist wasn't really on my bucket list but you have to play the hand you're dealt. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Despite their rocky start, Johnny seems to have some legitimate concern for So Mi's wellbeing. Perhaps he sees a little bit of Alt in Songbird, or maybe even a little bit of V. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Probably not going to get our deposit back. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

The Illusion of Control #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Kurt Hansen is throwing everything at getting his hands on Myers, including these scary bastards. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

I'm sure the people at Boeing appreciate the attention to detail. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

1R-0NC-LAD just, you know... doing its thing. Feelin' it. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Johnny was a hurricane when he was alive and his engram is almost as bad; So Mi casually handing him his hat is a powerful demonstration of her skills. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

New gods, old consequences #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Johnny's 2 great loves (other than himself) speak to the dual nature of his life, outlook, and motivations. Rogue is tied to his mercenary lifestyle but she thinks Johnny's true nature is the narcissistic rocker. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

There's a terrifying confidence in the way Brigitte manipulates V throughout their entire exchange. I would love to know how she came to lead the VDBs in Pacifica. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Netwatch and the VDBs are just two sides of the same coin. Heads or tails, V still loses. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

I think the nickname "Sasquatch" (and probably those workout pants) make it easy to dismiss Matilda as some sort of grotesque, but the truth is... she's not unattractive. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Maman Brigitte says that the VDBs left their gods in Haiti, but it would probably be more accurate to say they traded them for new gods beyond the Blackwall #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Evelyn made a lot of mistakes and grasped at an outcome that was far beyond her reach but no one deserves this fate. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Even for a morally bankrupt meatgrinder like Night City, Scavs engage in shocking level of butchery and depravity. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

The claw marks on his cheek and the full set of bite marks on his shoulder tell you a lot about how Fingers collects his payments. Gross. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Poor Tasha Rodriguez. If a human being could be discomfort made manifest, this is what it would look like. Considering how Fingers takes his payments, I don't really blame her. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

To Johnny, V is still just another in a long line of people to be exploited for his goals. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Judy's expression speaks volumes about how much she cares about Evelyn; you don't usually feel such worry, regret, and anger over someone unless they matter a great deal to you. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Susanna Quinn is the complete package: Smart enough to run both a successful business and a prolific gang simultaneously, oozes style, and looks dangerous as hell. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Rogue, Alt, Judy, Panam, not to mention a dozen supporting characters; this game leaves you spoiled for choice if you're looking for depictions of beautiful, powerful women. The 8est, however, is always 8ug8ear. I'll die on this hill. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

The Fixers of the East Side. When the game launched, I found Muamar a little annoying but the man has grown on me... El Capitán is probably my favorite fixer these days. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Happy Valentine's Day! Don't forget to take a minute to celebrate tossing that ex that you held onto for way too long. You know the one. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

The Fixers of the Prologue, in order of... I don't know, professionalism? Likelihood of survival in NC? #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography

Meeting Johnny for the first time, the contempt on his face is delicious. He finds V absolutely revolting. #Cyberpunk2077 | #Cyberpunk2077Photomode | #VirtualPhotography
