Log Off Protest - Phase Two!

December 29, 2018 (12 am Est) - December 31, 2018. (12 am EST).

This time around - we’re not logging off. Instead, we’ll be banding together and pressuring corporations on social media and app stores. There are two steps to this Phase that are as follows:

1) Mass Tweeting.

For EVERY DAY of this Phase (So at least one tweet December 29, December 30, and December 31), tweet @ the following:

@verizon @yahoo @tumblr @jeffdonof​

These are all corporations that own and are related to Tumblr. Jeff D'Onofrio is the CEO of Tumblr. Tweet at them saying WHAT is wrong with this ban, HOW it affects you, and WHAT you want to be done about it. Tag each tweet with #phasetwo2018!

2) Mass Reviews

Go to Tumblr on the app store of your choice (Apple or Google) and leave a negative review. Tell them WHY the ban is wrong, HOW it affects you and your experience, and WHAT you want to be done.

Post each review online with a screenshot. Tag each post with #phasetwo2018!  We need to lower their rating, and show them we mean business. No longer will be ignored. We’ll make them listen.

Once, I encountered the funny story of an AI image descriptor with a sheep obsession. It had been trained on pictures of fields of sheep. Therefore, it tagged anything in a field as 'sheep', including an empty field, because they work on statistical probability. Therefore, it thinks "ah, a field! there's probably a sheep here." (It's a bit more complicated but basically that.) It also couldn't recognise sheep in places that weren't fields, such as petrol stations or barns. [cont]

Now, the alarming aspect of this story is that the very same technology is probably what tumblr is using to identify porn. Now, if it can’t tell that an empty field is not, in fact, full of sheep, what hope do we have that it can’t tell an empty room isn’t full of writing human forms engaged in passionate coitus?

this really does sound like an episode of black mirror

[architeuthism]

But wait, it’s even weirder than that!

[retroactivebakeries]

This is gonna produce some absolutely baffling pornography.

[crazy-pages]

…. oh my fucking god they actually are using open source software. They’re using a fucking one-layer unidirectional bicategory tag-trained neural network. This will never work. Literally, it will never work. There’s just not enough algorithmic complexity to do what they’re asking of it. I bet you I could prove on a mathematical level that this joke of a neural net fundamentally lacks the abstraction necessary to do its job.

This will never get better. Their algorithm will never stop fucking up, it will never actually flag porn reliably and it will always require a massive quantity of human hours to deal with the deluge of mistagged pictures. This isn’t just a case of an insufficiently trained algorithm, it’s just … this is the most basic neural network you can make. It probably hasa a lot of neurons and has loads of training data but like … you can’t just brute force this kind of stuff. One layer of neurons is just Not Enough.

[crazy-pages]

Also, just to make this clear, Tumblr lied. I mean, we already know this, but I mean they liiiieeeeed. All that stuff they promised about what would or would not be censored? That cannot be delivered on with a system this simple. Nude classical sculptures, political protests, male-presenting nipples (really Tumblr?), nude art outside the context of sex, all that? You cannot train a bicategory one-layer neural network to exclude those things. It cannot be done. Tumblr never intended for those things to actually be permitted, they were just lying. Because the system they have cannot actually do what they said it would and never will be able to.

Also, this kind of system is super vulnerable to counter-neural strategies. I bet you before the end of the month someone hooks up their own open source one layer bicategory neural network which puts an imperceptible (to humans) layer of patterned static over arbitrary images, and trains it by having it bot-post static-ed images to Tumblr and reinforcing based on whether the images are labeled nsfw or sfw. Seriously, within a month someone will have an input-output machine which can turn any image ‘sfw’ in Tumblr’s eyes.

This is genuinely pathetic. Like, I have real pity for whoever implemented this, because it’s clear Tumblr doesn’t actually have any engineers with any expertise with machine learning left at all and they foisted the job off on some poor bastard who has no idea what they’re doing and is going to get all kinds of flak for their (perfectly reasonable and predetermined) failure from management.

[garbage-empress]

As has been pointed out before, there are no humans behind this at all. The review process just reruns either the same algorithm or another algorithm, but people have posted screen shots showing obviously SFW pictures that were still deemed NSFW on review, despite the fact that any human, no matter how overworked / tired would have seen that these pictures were not porn.

[analogueswords]

@janothar

[janothar]

So I investigated this and discussed it with @crazy-pages as I did so! Not everything above is true, though some is. Here is what I’ve been able to confirm about their algorithm:

The first thing it does is check tags, not even bothering to process “sfw” and “nsfw” tags, assuming they’re 100% accurate and that there are no bad human actors (seriously, tag whatever as #sfw and you’re safe right off)

It DOES use open_nsfw, but open source software isn’t the problem here (most good software for this sort of thing is open source)

It is powered by caffe, a solid and fast deep learning framework

It is NOT a single layer, it appears to be a pretrained model based on ResNet-50, one of the most powerful image recognition models out there

I can’t say TOO much more because I don’t have the NSFW dataset they used, but I imagine it isn’t large enough or diverse enough for what they want. Honestly, one option would be to train on random frames (maybe biasing towards later in the video files) of random things on PornHub vs any of several known large image datasets that contain no porn. Of course, this would never get enough context to tell the difference between porn and art or the like, so the whole thing is futile from the start.

sometimes I wish twilight had regular vampire lore so whenever bella got pissed w her vampire boo she’d start wearing silver jewelry and cooking Italian

[a-holy-trinity]

Edward: “Are you mad at me, love?”

Bella, wearing her great grandmother’s silver necklace even though she hates wearing jewelry, also she’s carrying a silver spoon in her coat pocket to take out and smack Edward with if he gets too close: “No of course not. What makes you think that?”

[bella-swan-deserved-better]

I fucking love this just imagine her wearing all silver jewler whenever she’s pissed at Alice and Ed

[a-holy-trinity]

Edward: *doesnt let Bella go see Jacob*

Bella, lining the outside of the window sill with silver butter knives and digging out all pieces of silver jewelry: “I can’t see him? Well then you can’t see me.”

_______

Edward: *being a dick*

Alice: *supporting Edward being a dick*

Bella, pulling out silver spoon from coat pocket: “Don’t fuckin’ make me use the spoon.”

_______

James: “You’re merely a human! How could you ever possibly defeat me?”

Bella, armed with her mother’s silverware while wearing 4 rings, 2 necklaces, and carrying a pocket full of silver coins: “….hmmmm.”

_______

Edward: “It’s dangerous to go into the woods alone.”

Bella, already walking toward the tree line armed with her Silver Spoon of Civility™️: “Yeah…lol…okay”

apparently porn bots are now hacking into in-use accounts (I’m assuming larger accounts) and posting while the blog owner is still active. 

holy fuck.

why are staff so incompetent

rather than fixing their obviously very flawed code and development, they’re deciding to ban tits? fucking tits?

that being said, although it’s so unlikely this will happen to me, please know that it’s not me posting these links and photos. Please dont click on the links. 

oh my god.

Aliens are the least of our worries right now but listen to me. Aliens don’t want to hurt us but the government is gonna convince us they do and incite worldwide panic and start a real space war to avoid advancing technology for the general population because efficient non oil based energy that the aliens have will crush the capitalist industries that need it to thrive welcome to my ted talk

this post so confidently and sincerely made it’s point that i had to stop myself checking the news to find out if first contact had happened this morning

[paintedreptile]

I was working upstairs when I hear one of our baby leopard geckos start screaming. Normally they only scream when threatened, but this particular guy screams at almost everything. Turns out there was a small fly in his cage that was bothering him.

Yes the fly was removed afterwards.

Have I told y’all about my husband’s Fork Theory?  If I did already, pretend I didn’t, I’m an old.

So the Spoon Theory is a fundamental metaphor used often in the chronic pain/chronic illness communities to explain to non-spoonies why life is harder for them. It’s super useful and we use that all the time. But it has a corollary.  You know the phrase, “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” right? Well, Fork Theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope okay with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens.  A fork could range from being hungry or having to pee to getting a new bill or a new diagnosis of illness. There are lots of different sizes of forks, and volume vs. quantity means that the fork limit is not absolute. I might be able to deal with 20 tiny little escargot fork annoyances, such as a hangnail or slightly suboptimal pants, but not even one “you poked my trigger on purpose because you think it’s fun to see me melt down” pitchfork.

This is super relevant for neurodivergent folk. Like, you might be able to deal with your feet being cold or a tag, but not both. Hubby describes the situation as “It may seem weird that I just get up and leave the conversation to go to the bathroom, but you just dumped a new financial burden on me and I already had to pee, and going to the bathroom is the fork I can get rid of the fastest.”

[cipheramnesia]

I like this and also I like the low key point that you may be able to cope with bigger forks by finding little ones you can remove quickly. A combination of time, focus, and reduction to small stressors that can allow you to focus on the larger stressor in a constructive way.

So, i’ve been watching a ton of these cheesy netflix christmas movies to avoid my essay, and like….. Where are the gay ones? I need cheesy gay christmas romcoms? How about a stuck up princess runs away and meets an easy going artist girl who she falls in love with? Or childhood best friends who lost touch run into each other at christmas in their home town and fall in love? Maybe a stressed out boss lady has to go back to her home town and meets the hot local mechanic lesbian who helps her rediscover the meaning of christmas??!! Or the bad boy of hollywood, who has to improve his image by doing a cheesy christmas movie and falls in love with the rival for his love interest in the movie? WHERE ARE THESE MOVIES? All i can say is thank god for fan fiction tbh. But also I do want a ridiculous amount of cheesy gay chritmas movie ya feel?
