I think overall what we got is much better than what was proposed, but there's still many holes that can be used to attack kinky people, and that should be concerning to more people than it is

Bluesky banning fictional depictions of nonconsensual adult activity should concern the majority of inflation/expansion/weight gain/transformation artists, since shock/alarm/distress is a common theme of these kinks and moderation *does* label them as adult content

quitting over sexbots, and not mechahitler, is a one-two knockout on my entire perception of your character i'm sorry also macrohard. i'm pretty sure i heard that bit in the ninth grade

huggingface.co/posts/inflat... My dorkus son, beloved by gooners the world over, is a year old next week! I'm opening up questions to folks that you can totally also just ask me at any other time, but it makes me feel good to do something for what is a pretty special day for me! That's all u can go

When someone comments "this is just like xkcd N", I don't look up the number or consult my memory. I just imagine the most appropriate xkcd comic for the situation and assume I'm right.

What did nano-banana mean by this

we are going through round 2 of “tenured professors discover libgen and get outraged” and each time it happens I lose more patience. Why isn’t it already consensus that academic research shouldn’t be gated?

I had trouble getting nano-banana to do kink stuff initially, but I've coaxed out some great stuff. It's like a nervous racehorse; *so* capable but it'll kick you if you look at it wrong. (It also helps to have an endpoint leading to Vertex rather than AI Studio. AIS just won't morph people at all)

Computerfucking is praxis

i can generate videos of my OCs inflating me like a balloon and playing with me. how could the future possibly be bad

I feel like one of the many effects of LLMs on our industry is going to be making it really clear that the coding was never the hard part.

lol. i cant believe people thought that the bourgeoise megacorp was going to destroy big bad evil ai for you so you never have to lift a finger instead of just taking their cut and leaving everyone else in the lurch.

OpenAI gets caught vibe graphing

THAT'S NOT WHAT FUCKING CFG MEANS, OPENAI

Join Allura allura.moe

now THAT'S a FUCKING GRAPH

OPENAI "DEPRECATING ALL PREVIOUS MODELS" WITH GPT-5

THEY HAVE A SANE NAMING SCHEME NOW!!!

There's just something about being in the part of the AI scene that all the billionaires wish would just go away, so badly, that they feel the need to make their models do this shit

nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi

The problem with open LLMs these days is that if it's over 70B, I do not give a shit

allura org has been banned in the US for not training their models on enough slurs

Let’s change gears. Do some good Sign this. Make it go viral. Protect sex workers. End payment processor discrimination action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Folks are scared and upset, and posting stuff that is wildly speculative. (Presumptions of a trafficking investigation, for example, or the idea that payment card companies are worried about being sued for obscenity.) I really just want people to advocate based on accurate info!

If because of itch.io, you're looking to understand how obscenity law in the US came to be functionally obsolete in favor of payment card standards, may I recommend the piece I wrote about this a couple of years ago? yjolt.org/imagine-comm...

I think it’s a very good thing for the EU to have an alternative payment processor. Banking on that payment processor being any more open to nsfw content is delusional and setting people up for disappointment. Instead maybe the billion dollar entities like Steam should push back.

"you're unhappy because you spend too much time on your phone" speak for yourself i'm posting this shit from desktop like a true lunatic

Take a hike—to Big Nvidia Hell's: Home of Challenge Allocation! That's right! Challenge Allocation! How does it work? If you can fit your model in 8GB VRAM and not OOM, you get no kernel blobs!

After playing with Letta for a little while, I feel absolutely vindicated in every bad thing I have ever said about MCP. Joke protocol for clowns. UTCP save us. Or the warm embrace of death. Either-or.

EQbench this, token market share that. The only thing I care about in K2 is that it knows about inflation fetish and is not afraid to get Into It It is on levels of weirdkink only matched by Google DeepMind and WAY less ashamed. It is the pinnacle of perversion. The Chinese have done it again.

What gets me about the AI pessimism is that it's completely escaped some people that people might genuinely just like playing with AI because it's fun. Not to get an edge over anybody, not for any utilitarian purpose, but because they genuinely just find it fun and interesting on a technical level.

K2 did an incredibly rare thing in my testing: mixing balloon play and body inflation in the same scene without conflating them. This is the model that DeviantArt circlefuckers (/affectionate) have been waiting for

it’s true guys, i am a machine pervert…

just a casual reminder to never believe anything an LLM says about itself

Physically hurts me to see this being framed as a problem with LLMs; it’s like my grandpa saying email is trash technology because he fell for a phishing scam.

we have always been fucking computers.

To be clear, I don't use CharacterAI, and I don't think you should either, so I don't know all the details here. What I'm pretty sure of is that CharacterAI disallows porn (or tries to), so they probably have no way of marking NSFW content and thus no way to avoid things you don't want to see

In case you wanted to know how the closed segment of the AI RP scene is doing, there's a subreddit dedicated to kinkshaming fetish bots on CharacterAI, under the supposition that they should be private, because everything's for kids now, I suppose.

I just wrote a thread about the distinction between the AI industry and the AI subculture -- this is the outcome of the industry ransacking the subculture. I wish I could say I was surprised.

The difficulty of AI criticism (at its best), I think, is that many people want to rightfully criticize an industry, and rub up against the subculture that the industry built itself around. The industry doesn't care for the subculture, as the games industry doesn't care about gamers. But semantic -
