A tweet by a friend made me realize what is, to me at least, one of the most frustrating aspects of people outsourcing their ability to think to AI: it prevents any development of frustration tolerance. Not having to think critically for yourself means you never develop this crucial life skill.

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

bingqiu mad scientist AU?
Shen Yuan gets transmigrated into Proud Experimental Demon Way into the the mad scientist villain who performed countless unethical experiments on Luo Binghe which eventually backfired, giving Luo Binghe horrific powers to take his revenge.
#SVSSS #人渣反派自救系统 #art

Shen Yuan, transmigrated into Shen Qingqiu, wearing a lab coat and examination gloves. He says, "Binghe, it's time to continue the experiment."
Luo BInghe, wearing some bandages and in constraints, replies with a smile, "Yes, Doctor!"
Shen Qingqiu thinks, "How could the original goods mistreat such a gentle subject? Where is the IRB approval? Did Airplane even know
anything about human experimentation before writing this fuckass novel?! Hang in there, Binghe, I promise I'll give you fair compensation when I get rid of this damn OOC lock (if you don't turn me into a human stick first)!"

The bottom of the image shows a chibi Shen Qingqiu nervously thinking, "MAN-MADE HORROS BEYOND MY COMPRENSION" superimposed on a menacing silhouette of Luo Binghe with his clawed tentacles bared.

Luo Binghe wearing bandages over his forehead and face, a medical gown, and constraints. He has claws. Shen Qingqiu's gloved hands are in frame, holding Luo Binghe's chin and feeding him a pill. Luo Binghe thinks, "Doctor always wears gloves... I want him to touch me with his bare hands."

any time you ask why something is aggressively sexual or otherwise vulgar, crude, or adult the answer is probably "because this exists as a rebellion against previous censorship, or as a celebration of their new freedom of expression within their medium and genre"

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

Absolutely love this twitter classic:

Exchange between two twitter users. A man called Scott Castaneda write to Tom Morella, "I use to be a fan until your political opinions come out. Music is my sanctuary and the last thing I want to hear is political bs when I'm listening to music. As far as I'm concerned you and pink are completely done. Keep running your mouth and ruining your fan base." User Howard Finklestein replies, "What 'machine' did you think he was raining against? The dishwasher?"

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Its almost like anti-porn laws are never actually about porn. 🤔

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 5d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Can I just say it’s nice to see a frog used as a mascot and taking power from the one used and twisted by the right. Big difference takes balls and humour to be them frogs on the line compared to a faceless person behind a racist meme.
