Torturing an AI chat bot until it does stupid AI shit is some of the funniest content I’ve seen in a while

    How do we differentiate between those ones and the kink ones? Maybe now it’s obvious but what happens if you crack down on the right wing ones and then they switch to blurring the lines and persisting in the grey area between?

    OH! Oh no, I’m absolutely, categorically NOT trying to advocate for a crackdown for exactly the reasons you state (edit: that there’s no way or mechanism to crack down only on “bad” things and it’s likely to cause a bigger problem than the problem it would be trying to solve). I went back and read my first comment, and I now see how it might have looked that way, but it 100% was not my intent.

    I am mostly content with ignoring it, because the danger in going after them despite being such a small problem is that it will expand into just outright controlling kink content when they do that. People will misguidedly control women under the claim they’re doing it to protect women.

    100% agreed on all points.

    I’m trying to plot a course through this problem myself, without falling into the trap of controlling women to protect women. This trap is dangerous and I think people with no kink history have a hard time even noticing it exists.

    This is a great point and one that I will do my best to keep in mind going forward. Thank you.

      I have my suspicions that the current ongoing payment provider restrictions are intended to cause this to happen.

      What happens to kink writers and developers for literature and games when their content is removed? Right now it’s just kinda sus content leaning towards obviously taboo things, content in school settings, content with animals, 500 year old vampires, etc etc.

      The obvious thing they will do is move further into the grey area.

      What happens when they do that? You crack down on everything in the grey area.

      Now you’ve hit them again, but you’ve also hit a whole heap of lgbt content and other kinks.

      Then all of that moves into the newly formed grey area.

      You go after the new grey area for being banned in the former wave. Explicitly targeting lgbt kinks and other things.

      This is the long-term strategy I would be running if I were on the side of those christian lobby groups that have been successful recently.

        I think you’re right and this is the strategy they’re running. They use the overtly bad stuff (pedo loli shit, for example) as a Trojan Horse (or maybe a wedge / pry bar) to slowly smuggle in functional censorship of LGBT content (plus anything else they don’t like). These don’t have anything in common, to be clear, other than being “taboo” according to some.
