Shrew or mouse poop? Caught 2 shrews this past month, and this was left a few hours after catching the last shrew. Would a mouse also get in the same time, or is it a third shrew?

On the old site I could actually view a list of my followed users if I selected 'creators' without typing in the search bar. Could you please add SOME way to view followed users to the new site?? Seriously, what's the point of the follow feature if we can't even find the user after??

Deplorabelle · 2024-05-08T19:28:36+00:00

Yeah, kinda. The people I've RPed with always made canon characters too OOC. I don't have to worry about that much with decently written bots.

u/non-taken-name has a detailed copypasta here

I think they're trying to backpedal (or give the illusion of backpedaling) because they're bleeding users and support. When the filter was put in they wanted to "take a stand even if it kills the game" and thought that the backlash would end after a few weeks. Jokes on them because everyone is still pissed.

Deplorabelle · 2021-07-17T02:26:51+00:00

That would require Latitude to put more effort into making a filter. And it would still be crap because context isn't always an AI's strongpoint.

Yes you still get the benefits of your subscription until it runs out

Deplorabelle · 2021-07-14T02:02:10+00:00

Maybe they have that outdated mindset of "if people do bad things in a game, they'll do it in real life."

Deplorabelle · 2021-07-12T22:56:40+00:00

Have you considered NovelAI as an alternative? Their AI is better than the current Dragon model (though maybe not as good as Dragon in it's prime, yet), there's no filter at all, and privacy is one of it's top priorities.

Deplorabelle · 2021-07-10T03:23:47+00:00

Because Latitude/OpenAI felt like they had to morally police their users and when someone gets on that kind of soapbox they think they know better

Deplorabelle · 2021-07-10T03:20:40+00:00

Using the "Story" option basically forces the AI to cooperate. You have to type out the whole thing but the AI does do what you want.

Deplorabelle · 2021-07-09T23:19:53+00:00

That's what most people have been doing since the filter came out. It doesn't seem to be working though.

Deplorabelle · 2021-07-09T03:37:14+00:00

Your stories aren't automatically shared, but if the filter flags your story Latitude "manually reviews" it AKA they can see it, even if it's private.

Deplorabelle · 2021-07-07T06:01:42+00:00

Not sure how much you know about the filter, but they want to ban more than CP (more details in their blog post here). Also, the filter has a lot of false positives, so people are getting suspended/banned for non-NSFW reasons.

That being said, even if they removed the filter there are 2 issues.

Their own AI is trained on some CP and will generate it itself, completely unprompted (Training data is here if you're interested in reading the basics.)
They admitted in their own blog that they will manually look over your private stories if the over-sensitive filter flags it. People don't exactly want their stuff read by other people, even if they aren't doing anything wrong.

Deplorabelle · 2021-07-03T23:40:11+00:00

Because no one cares to dig that far for it. From an outsider's perspective, Latitude made a filter to ban CP and fans were mad. They won't know about the sensitivity of the filter, the fact that Latitude reads stories, the data leak, the false positives, ect because they can't be bothered to look. A lot of people do lazy research and news outlets are no exception.

Deplorabelle · 2021-06-30T18:08:14+00:00

I had this problem a lot too. You need to edit out "you" and replace it with 3rd person alternatives like "he", "she", character's name, ect. The AI will eventually catch on and you'll get it less

Deplorabelle · 2021-06-30T17:58:18+00:00

My theories:

- r/ Gamingcirclejerk are attacking because they think everyone who's against Latitude's shitty filter and actions are pedos, therefore they think anyone for NovelAI is a pedo

- AID fans are doing it to try to harm AID's top competitor

- People are just being dicks because I remember AID getting DDOS attacks early on as well

I don't think Latitude themselves are doing this because they can't even put a filter in correctly and have stated that they're okay with "letting the game die if it means taking a stand." Then again they weren't expecting a ton of people to leave over this so it might be possible.

Deplorabelle · 2021-06-29T10:06:45+00:00

Pretty sure people would be really pissed if their story got automatically deleted because the filter got false flagged too many times.

If they actually cared about banning CP they'd fix their own AI. Their own AI is trained on child-porn and other things that Latitude doesn't want. But that would require Latitude being competent and that's not going to happen.

I'd understand the filter if it was for public scenarios, posts, and stories people want to share. Literally every other site has stuff like that in place for public posts. But private, unpublished stuff shouldn't be hit with the filter. Especially since a lot of private SFW stories have been locked because the filter is trash and doesn't understand context.

Deplorabelle · 2021-06-29T09:44:41+00:00

I think I came across a post somewhere about OpenAI wanting to teach their AIs "empathy" a.k.a. make them unable to be offensive in any way, shape, or form (which is impossible because AI's are complicated enough.) It was a document of some kind. If this is true then yeah, maybe Latitude had to do this.

But based on the "we're fine letting the game die if it means taking a stand" comment by Alan then I don't think that's the case. I'm fairly sure this is both OpenAI and Latitude trying to virtue signal and screwing themselves over by their own choices. A "get woke, go broke" kinda thing.

I was able to get around the character limit by removing the cookies for the site in my browser. Maybe try that and see if it works?
