tbh i love the aus where the trolls are on earth too bc its like. it just introduces fun dynamics. dave sees terezi just fucking eat chalk and hes like well. i guess all trolls do this. and of fucking course terezi never corrects him. when he and karkat have their first date 3 years later he brings him a box of chalk like its a fucking box of chocolates nicely wrapped and everything and the second terezi hears about it she busts a nut and loses her voice from laughing so hard and so long

What is almost certainly happening with Tumblr’s image classifier is that they’ve deployed the bot entirely untrained, and are relying on user complaints to train it what NSFW content on tumblr looks like.

Making people participate in their own censorship in this way and punishing them with the threat of being silenced even if in compliance with the rules should they not participate, is, IMHO, abuse of their userbase.

Source: I’ve worked for three different top-five social networks, and at all of them this type of work would have been done by making the userbase do it as much as possible.

Please signal boost. I don’t care if you reblog or repost, just get the word out so that people know what they’re doing as they interect with this thing.

My twitter is @soren_tycho (nsfw, sfw account coming soon) and my github username is sorentycho.

Just chiming in as a machine learning expert, this is almost certainly the case (and knowing tumblr, they weren’t even smart enough to throw in pre-trained weights)

I don’t remember agreeing to beta test 🤔

A well known AI blogger I follow also supports this theory.

Okay so what I am hearing here is that if we really want to be assholes and fuck with tumblr then we should ask for review even on flagged posts that are legitimately NSFW?

Fuck with their robot training/ using us as laboratory rats by being the worst possible laboratory rats?

@sorensfw @janothar

The review process will catch it and clean the data, but it WOULD put more strain on whatever humans they have there. Though those humans won’t be the people responsible, they’ll be minimum wage people, so…

Catch: there is mounting evidence that there aren’t any human reviewers – most notably, I’ve seen a post about a basket of mushrooms being rejected on appeal.

Confusing matters even more, I’ve had two copies of visually identical images
handled differently – an unedited version approved, and a version with text steganographically embedded in it rejected.

I’ve been told elsewhere that this in fact pretty much confirms the backup-bot theory.

My sketches are being rejected, too. Out of the 20-some requests I’ve put in for review, 4 are still flagged explicit.

Alternative to the tired old wizard-with-a-sugar-daddy interpretation of the patron/warlock relationship in Dungeons & Dragons:

  • Clueless boss and long-suffering employee, whose powers are basically the magical equivalent of pilfering office supplies for personal use
  • Scheming master and duplicitous apprentice who are totally open about their loathing for each other and are keen to see who betrays whom first
  • Bureaucratic devil and soul-peddling diabolist with a contract a mile long, each honestly believing they’re getting the better of the other
  • Glowering quartermaster and loose-cannon operative, whose record for getting results just barely justifies the expense of employing them
  • Indifferent parent who pays their estranged offspring’s allowance like clockwork but otherwise prefers to deal with them as little as possible
  • Vast, slumbering god-monster and amoral parabiologist who knows which spots to poke with a stick to provoke particular autonomic responses
