So you paid more than they did?

this whole thread is hilarious. they break down and admit to having daddy buy the house, and then dude admits that he never bought a realty record and that they told on themselves lmfao

Kid - Ohh no my balloon Cat - Don’t worry I got this just give me a moment Cat - Here’s your balloon kid Kid - Thank you kitty, Now follow me

animals and babies can communicate. 100%

[contemplatingnature]

Siamese cats are very social and love to talk (to the point they tend to talk a lot if their human friends are on the phone), it probably brought the balloon down so they can both play together, hence chasing the thread at the end. ;3;

What a good kitty <3

This is so fucking wack

[hundondestiny]

You guys really just hate any woman using her sexuality to make money. You’ll consume all her media for free but the moment she wants something in return y’all get spiteful and way outta pocket about it. The whole “but Snapchat doesn’t allow adult content!” is fucking weak because I’m sure y’all still posting ass and thirst traps constantly.

I don’t even know how this alone would be an act of tax fraud, you have no idea what income she reports, but the fact that y’all feel SO strongly about this shit that you try to fuck up people’s livelihoods for the laughs is garbage. I hope the next time y’all need any assistance everyone spits in your face.

[twinkle-pistol-blog]

It’s been awful on Facebook. Men would go and harass women who do sex work. And start posting edgy memes and saying really disgusting shit. And these are the same ones that are like “I respect all women! Why don’t they like me!?” 🙄

[lebritanyamor-deactivated202601]

the sites that we use to sell our content TAX US . i’ve sent in the tax forms on more than one occasion .

[kahtiihma]

and of course they aren’t out there reporting their weed guy to the irs. it’s pure hatred of women

[holy-shit-look]

The incel army CAN’T report you to the IRS even if they wanted to.

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.

[little-bat-owl]

so what I’m hearing is this algorithm is quite literally an argument between tumblr’s last two brain cells

[musicalsymphony]

I know I never (personally) post things like this but I saw this on the news and I really wanted to share it.

My amazing pup Loki before and after I adopted him! I rescued him 15 minutes before he was scheduled to be euthanized. He has been my baby for the last 6 years and I couldn’t have been blessed with a more perfect dog!

got to spend a bit of time with the sweetest old boy this morning. his name is parker and this was the face he made whenever I stopped petting him

It.

Its cheese.

Not only is the guy in the picture fully clothed, the CHEESE is fully clothed

Clearly tumblr’s new filter is extremely well designed and the algorithm has been extensively tested. What could possibly go wrong?
