your bed is probably as happy to see you as you are to see it. ‘here comes the warmth slab’ it thinks
wrong it thinks “god hope this dipshit doesnt spill beans all over me again who tf eats beans in bed”
stop reblogging this new year new me i havent spilled beans in bed ONCE this year
uh oh
It gets funnier the earlier in the year you reblog it

It’s funny to see all the people reblogging this completely unaware that these three worked together for Y E A R S of course they have a John impression

yikes!
“trans debate” is the newest iteration of such classics as “the Jewish question” and “the Negro problem.” people aren’t debatable

Look who’s still on Tumblr, unscathed.

White nationalist propaganda is still extremely easy to find.
Please tell me @Tumblr why there still are controversial subject matter and dick pics all over your “safe website?”
fuck it up Cathleen!!!!!!!

I love how the dog is so delightfully cheerful while the horse is like “Mrs haversham killed me”
Ah, the city of Columbia, the setting of the video game Bioshock Infinite. An asbsolute shitshow in the sky. It was meant to be an extreme parody of the philosophies of American Exceptionalism, but has become something a little more than that. People in this city are obsessed with the founding fathers, hate racial minorities (clearly demonstrated in the above poster), believe the corrupt police officers over fellow citizens, are painfully ‘Christian’, loathe anyone who does not fit into a very specific predetermined box, are weirdly obsessed with guns, and any outsider who comes in is forced to assimilate to their traditions or else be treated like they’re subhuman. And the city succeeded from the US proper because they city’s founder was convinced that the US government was too liberal and accepting of disgusting sinners.
Huh. This feels, um, a little familiar, doesn’t it?

A California man who built a business out of recycling electronic waste is headed to prison for 15 months after a federal appeals court rejected his claim that the “restore discs” he made to extend computers’ lives had no financial value, instead ruling that he'd infringed Microsoft products.
yall really need to read this

It’s incredibly fucked that this person is literally getting imprisoned for fucking recycling.
It’s incredibly fucked up that this person is imprisoned when an expert witness provided testimony saying what he did was harmless and the court chose to throw it out in favor of testimony that supported what Microsoft wanted just because no one in the court room was tech literate so they literally got to pick and choose what testimony they liked instead of what was correct.
dying from easily treatable diseases to own the libs lol
she was also anti-vax and it was the flu and meningitis that killed her (both completely routine to vaccinate for, esp in your early 20s) so here’s ur reminder to go get vaccinated and not listen to ppl who tell you otherwise!
Can we get a pic of you and your partner?
*whispers* which one is your partner....

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
But wait, it’s even weirder than that!
This is gonna produce some absolutely baffling pornography.
…. 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.
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.
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.
so what I’m hearing is this algorithm is quite literally an argument between tumblr’s last two brain cells
Former NASA engineer designs glitter bomb trap to avenge Amazon delivery theft victims
While millions of Americans are dealing this holiday season with the frustrating scourge of so-called porch pirates — thieves who snatch packages off their doorstep — one YouTube star decided to do something about it.
Rober said he worked six months to develop a device that won’t prevent packages from getting stolen, but would result in the thieves getting covered in glitter and fart spray. The video shows Rober constructing the “package,” which includes cellphone cameras to watch the thieves’ reactions, a device to spray a pound of glitter when the package is opened, and a tracking system to recover it all after the robbers dump it. The result is as satisfying as it is technically impressive:
