The allure of speed in technology development is a siren’s call that has led many innovators astray. “Move fast and break things” is a mantra that has driven the tech industry for years, but when applied to artificial intelligence, it becomes a perilous gamble. The rapid iteration and deployment of AI systems without thorough vetting can lead to catastrophic consequences, akin to releasing a flawed algorithm into the wild without a safety net.

AI systems, by their very nature, are complex and opaque. They operate on layers of neural networks that mimic the human brain’s synaptic connections, yet they lack the innate understanding and ethical reasoning that guide human decision-making. The haste to deploy AI without comprehensive testing is akin to launching a spacecraft without ensuring the integrity of its navigation systems. The potential for error is not just probable; it is inevitable.

The pitfalls of AI are numerous and multifaceted. Bias in training data can lead to discriminatory outcomes, while lack of transparency in decision-making processes can result in unaccountable systems. These issues are compounded by the “black box” nature of many AI models, where even the developers cannot fully explain how inputs are transformed into outputs. This opacity is not merely a technical challenge but an ethical one, as it obscures accountability and undermines trust.

To avoid these pitfalls, a paradigm shift is necessary. The development of AI must prioritize robustness over speed, with a focus on rigorous testing and validation. This involves not only technical assessments but also ethical evaluations, ensuring that AI systems align with societal values and norms. Techniques such as adversarial testing, where AI models are subjected to challenging scenarios to identify weaknesses, are crucial. Additionally, the implementation of explainable AI (XAI) can demystify the decision-making processes, providing clarity and accountability.

Moreover, interdisciplinary collaboration is essential. AI development should not be confined to the realm of computer scientists and engineers. Ethicists, sociologists, and legal experts must be integral to the process, providing diverse perspectives that can foresee and mitigate potential harms. This collaborative approach ensures that AI systems are not only technically sound but also socially responsible.

In conclusion, the reckless pursuit of speed in AI development is a dangerous path that risks unleashing untested and potentially harmful technologies. By prioritizing thorough testing, ethical considerations, and interdisciplinary collaboration, we can harness the power of AI responsibly. The future of AI should not be about moving fast and breaking things, but about moving thoughtfully and building trust.

Not the internet suddenly bursting into flames and tears just because some old Japanese manga artist's ghibli art has been replicated using AI without his consent as if men haven’t been using the same advanced technology to create deepfake pornographic images of girls and women without their consent which has resulted in many of them taking their own lives.

Au where a semibot somehow 'befriends' the Huntsman by thieving and eventually returning his precious protective weaponry...

AI and Tumblr

In the event of any kind of AI Art API is to be trained on this platform I do not give permission for my art to be sampled or used to train AI without financial compensation, artists hold the copyright to our art and any intentional mimicry or sampling of my art by an artificial intelligence is infringing on an artist's rights to their creations.

We as artists will not take this grim proposal between Tumblr and Midjourney laying down, this was the last safe heaven for a lot of us and you are now holding knives to us entirely to solve your financial woes instead of offering meaningful solutions. You are going to bleed your community of all trust and all revenue you still eek out of us. Your ways have changed from one of a community built around passion for fandom and the creative mind to one of greed and exclusion. You have been showing true colors and they are ugly, they are sickening, and they will kill your platform. If this deal goes through, may your platform die slow and painfully, may you watch your most loyal of whales walk away and leave you drying out in the hot pavement that is bankruptcy.

G0lly! what awesome art!! (hehehe)

I loved drawing this, it turned out so flippin adorable >w<

have the individual G0llys too :3

Silly Lil yarnadough au

Basically, in this au, the doctor finds out about what's been happening with yarnaby and doey, and Yk, since he doesn't want anybody to be happy, he kills yarnaby. Btw in this au yarnaby joined the safe haven crew about 1-2 years before we (the player)arrived .The only problem is that yarnaby still feels some connection with his "Master."

If you have any suggestions or ideas for this au, let me know. :D

THERE'S NOTHING THERE.

Back on the HLVRAI Art grind. I've been wanting to redraw an old piece of art I did around 5 YEARS AGO now when I first got into HLVRAI (god that makes me feel old), And now with the new year, It's fitting to do a remake of an old piece <3 (Extra under the cut!)

A still, glitchless and higher quality version of it! Sad how Tumblr managed to crunch the GIF even further than it was before, but I guess the low quality-ness works with the source material.

The gustatory system, a marvel of biological evolution, is a testament to the intricate balance between speed and precision. In stark contrast, the tech industry’s mantra of “move fast and break things” has proven to be a perilous approach, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence. This philosophy, borrowed from the early days of Silicon Valley, is ill-suited for AI, where the stakes are exponentially higher.

AI systems, much like the gustatory receptors, require a meticulous calibration to function optimally. The gustatory system processes complex chemical signals with remarkable accuracy, ensuring that organisms can discern between nourishment and poison. Similarly, AI must be developed with a focus on precision and reliability, as its applications permeate critical sectors such as healthcare, finance, and autonomous vehicles.

The reckless pace of development, akin to a poorly trained neural network, can lead to catastrophic failures. Consider the gustatory system’s reliance on a finely tuned balance of taste receptors. An imbalance could result in a misinterpretation of flavors, leading to detrimental consequences. In AI, a similar imbalance can manifest as biased algorithms or erroneous decision-making processes, with far-reaching implications.

To avoid these pitfalls, AI development must adopt a paradigm shift towards robustness and ethical considerations. This involves implementing rigorous testing protocols, akin to the biological processes that ensure the fidelity of taste perception. Just as the gustatory system employs feedback mechanisms to refine its accuracy, AI systems must incorporate continuous learning and validation to adapt to new data without compromising integrity.

Furthermore, interdisciplinary collaboration is paramount. The gustatory system’s efficiency is a product of evolutionary synergy between biology and chemistry. In AI, a collaborative approach involving ethicists, domain experts, and technologists can foster a holistic development environment. This ensures that AI systems are not only technically sound but also socially responsible.

In conclusion, the “move fast and break things” ethos is a relic of a bygone era, unsuitable for the nuanced and high-stakes world of AI. By drawing inspiration from the gustatory system’s balance of speed and precision, we can chart a course for AI development that prioritizes safety, accuracy, and ethical integrity. The future of AI hinges on our ability to learn from nature’s time-tested systems, ensuring that we build technologies that enhance, rather than endanger, our world.

-> people stealing, binding and selling fics on Etsy, risking everything that AO3 has built since the Anne Rice lawsuits

-> AI scraping being everywhere and Gen Z seeing nothing wrong with using AI to "help" fanfiction or outright "write it" for them, while older fanfic authors have struggled for years to perfect the style you love

-> comments being down across the board and consumption culture being at an all time high. a fic gets 800 notes practically overnight and doesn't get a single comment (and sometimes I literally have to beg for comments/feedback on my fics when I know that hundreds of people are reading them)

-> me, grinding my teeth while pouring my heart and soul into a 40k fic that I know will be forgotten by fandom in a month or could possibly be stolen to be sold as a "novel": I do this because I love this. I do this because I love this. I do this because it's my passion. I don't want to quit doing something that I love so much.

people know they can write fics, right? like... fanfic authors are not mythical beings. anyone can open a document app, write something, then publish it on an appropriate site. it doesnt have to be your personality, your online presence, or even something you're necessarily proud of.

i saw an excellent video by @/princesspendelum on tiktok talking about the commodification of fanfic, and it has me thinking... a puzzle piece thats missing from most peoples brains is that ff authors are just regular people, they can be just about anyone. i dont publish fic as often as i would like to (most things i write are for my eyes only) but i could, in theory, just...do it. there isnt an exclusive class for fanfic writers, it is a hobby.

its just strange how 'exclusive' the label has been deemed as, usually by those who do not write fics themselves. if you wish someone wrote xyz with such & such tropes, then do it yourself. there is nothing holding you back. you do not have to polish a hobby for it to be seen as important.

hang on 🙋 lately I've been seeing an alarming number of people on here, including some of my own followers, making fun of "tumblrinas" and artists for being anti AI image generation. what the fuck is the deal with the sudden attitude switch on that
