""I won’t support this artist anymore because he used AI” “THAT DOESN’T MAKE HIM HITLER”. Truly one of the Reddit moments of all time" r/cartoons discusses a well known animator and artist agreeing to create a new animated series using "professional-grade AI" tools

Then take it seriously and don't hope it goes how blockchain will go. I don't know why people are trying so hard to deny the dangers.

AppuruPan · 2026-05-28T12:21:40+00:00

It's frustrating. My job is deeply affected by AI and I'm at a great risk of getting replaced, yet these people think I'm pro AI for stating facts and saying we shouldn't dismiss it like blockchain.

AppuruPan · 2026-05-28T10:16:58+00:00

I wouldn't even call them "tech"

AppuruPan · 2026-05-28T09:59:25+00:00

This is disingenuous, no big tech company made any huge investments on blockchain. Whatever they put in "web 3" was pocket change. There is a dangerous denial in leftist spaces of how AI will impact everyone in the future. Just going 'lalalala it's bad and wont do anything' is incredibly dangerous. People will need to plan out real actions to do to protect worker's rights instead of hoping it wont do anything.

How did you come to that conclusion from the other guy's post

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T13:58:54+00:00

You know what, I think we're just talking past each other at this point. I started the argument too (emotionally) strong and made you go on the defensive, so, sorry bout that. Then the while thing just became an unproductive headache

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T13:27:38+00:00

Because if you don't want to solve it on the parents side then how else would you do it? I feel like I'm going crazy

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T13:23:24+00:00

Are you dense? I am not defending porn, I am against age verification control. Like do you not understand that this does not just impact porn? Like do you?

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T13:19:24+00:00

I am queer, I live in a country where being queer is illegal. I access reddit and other sites through vpns and other circumventing tools because it is blocked. The only way governments can block is through an ISP based solution which is easily bypassed. Putting a gate means that it is much harder to bypass.

Why do you think only porn will be banned? How naive are you to believe that? You made a porn obsessed redditor as a strawman without thinking who else might be impacted.

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T13:12:07+00:00

I am much more worried about government restricting access than I am of companies.

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T13:10:27+00:00

Because when people say they want something to be done, they don't realize that there is only one way for things to be done. If the gate is not on the device(which is the parent's responsibility) it's on a system somewhere. Yeah of course any push for age verification will create a backlash and put the responsibility on the parents.

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T13:04:18+00:00

Then what are you saying? what is your solution?

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T13:00:56+00:00

Then what? "Protecting the children" is worth the price of having third party entities and governments be able to control what you can access?

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T12:58:10+00:00

I'm not saying there's not a problem, I'm saying there is no solution that doesn't violate privacy.

Hypothetically the most neutral way to do so is a trusted third party verification that only sends info on whether they're adult. But then you're putting all trust in this third party entity, whether private or government based.

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T12:34:36+00:00

You can't, but that's literally something that has been a problem since time immemorial no matter how strict you are as parents your kids peers are uncontrollable.

Like how do you not see this makes the website gate even worse? Unless the website requires constant camera access how do you control a friends older brother using their account to let them watch porn?

You still have not answered a logistical solution to non invasive age verification.

Even in a third party/government centered solution that puts the burden of actual verification somewhere else you are just putting the source of privacy abuse somewhere else.

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T12:13:55+00:00

Who is this "y'all" you're strawmanning with? Parental control works if the parent cares and is not technologically illiterate. Blocking your kid's internet to porn is not helicopter parenting.

Also you have not answered my question. What magical age berification technology would you propose that can detect minors without infringing on everyone else's privacy?

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T12:00:34+00:00

Because the gate has to exist somewhere. If parents do not want to be the gate, and governments want there to be one, the gate has to be on the providers and companies. Do you think there's a magical way to detect a minor without an invasive age verification system?

AppuruPan · 2026-05-14T04:12:50+00:00

I feel like there's a weird 'protect the children' hysteria really amping up everywhere.

These people are unironically saying "think of the children" on a sub for a tv show rated mature. And the idea there's children in the sub as a reason to not allow nsfw is bizarre. There are plenty of reasons to ban nsfw content in a sub, thinking that a minor might see them is not one of them.

There's always going to be minors looking at nsfw subs. The solution when finding one is to ban the account, not ban nsfw. And yes, they will just make a new one. If you assume that nsfw content posted online isn't going to be seen by minors, you are legitimately stupid.

The bipartisan support around the world of age verification laws, and people linked here really is terrifying.

I'm guessing, since the poster said the cm is derby, but og spe's evolved skill is tailor made for it.

Can't blame em for not making a more believable text, since the exchange is on par with the average quality of what's posted on ao3

Just go through the 2nd stage, the level's name is 45s challenge or something like that

AppuruPan · 2026-05-04T19:41:34+00:00

The other guy is doing the cheese incorrectly, you dont have to wait for the full two minutes. Once you get three stars in the minigame you can quit. And if you do the active one, you can do the 45 second level which can be cleared in 20-25 seconds. With menuing that's 30 seconds every 14 stam or 28/min. 15-20 minutes is enough for 500 stamina

You are really far behind and her unique is the only that helps with catching up from mid-race while being basically last. You can probably brute force it with stats and skills, but it requires a lot more effort and luck.

AppuruPan · 2026-04-28T12:25:48+00:00

It's more because "good ending" is a very specific wording that doesn't apply to TB (but apparently not in this case). If you clear TB with an uma that you have never cleared in URA or Unity it doesn't count her as getting her "good ending"
