#profit bots

[hiding-in-the-vault]

Phew finally got through all the evil job applications. It's save to say that I feel confident in our numbers. Ready to be used on the first person who dares CROSS ME AGAIN.

#also sif started the bot attack up again T_ T #but it only encourages my evil™.... #i live in agony #but it turns a profit

You'd think The Spine is the smartest, but then there was that time when he learned about all the cool gadgets Rabbit had in her arm, and he wanted to swap arms with her but before waiting to see if she WANTED to swap arms with him, he tore his arm off. Then he started bleeding out, melting, and misinterpreting all of his memories and Rabbit had to transfer her own oil to him so that he wouldn't die.

Also, that time The Spine went out to get Slurpees for everyone but he only bought one because he thought it was smart because it was cheaper than buying more than one but he used mayo as a substitute for a Slurpee

#steam powered giraffe #spg #the spine spg #rabbit spg #honestly at this rate #I'm willing to bet that Rabbit's the smartest bot #she just plays it off as being goofy #that or she is accidentally smart #like that time she found out that they could make a profit because people love seeing boiling hot grease getting thrown at The Spine #let's embrace it #the spine is a dummins #my stuff

Can't believe this year I start actively and consistently drawing again (and am making comics!) And I hear today that tumblr will probably be shutting down soon.

This is literally the only place I post things. Maybe the site would be profitable if staff didn't actively try to destroy it every update.

Hoping it's all rumors but if they are truly going down to a skeleton crew and stopping updates that's not a good sign.

#tumblr feels like the last art centric website left #and this blog may be newer but ive been on tumblr for years #and ever since they sold it and removed all the good features its been down hill #what did they think would happen #they let the bots roam free and pumish the artists #and are what? shocked the site isnt profitable? #we lost almost everyone in the p*rn ban #yet every time i search fandom tags i still see the p*rn bots so what was the point staff???

#the dragon prince #lgbt #aaravos #i know tumblr hates chat ai but personally i enjoy it it amuses me #im also going into computer science so like #u can view me as The Enemy if you want ig #but #idk personally i feel yeah #publishing ai writing for a profit anywhere is totally wrong #and underpaying/overworking workers #but being a little silly and goofy with the chat bots #without feeding it anyone else’s writing #that’s coolio #yk basically there are lines that shouldn’t be crossed #it’s like any sort of technological advancement. it can be used for good but also to cause harm in the wrong hands. arcane tv series moment #but you can’t deny the advance it doesn’t rlly care if you do or not lmao #unsolicited rant yk but here u go #self spaghettification #😘 #original post #tag rant #it’s a tool. like anything else #it’s good not to become too reliant on it though #its a tool with a lot of possibility :) #i do have some of that guilt going into cs like am i selling my soul to the devil?…. i mean maybe #but also automating things is nice. making advancements is nice #so yk. ultimately i think it’s best to be a well rounded person with both scientific and humanitarian intent in mind #and im open about basically every facet of myself good or bad lol

My absolute least favorite genre of negative response to neural net chat bots and the like is "OMG it's SENTIENT this is SCARY............WE HAVE TO DESTROY IT!!!!!!"

Like do you hear yourself? You're claiming that what's scary here is that it is allegedly SENTIENT (which it isn't)...so we have to KILL it? Your first response to a sensationalized, false report that we have created a sentient intelligent life form is "EEEK, KILL IT!!"? End a sentient, sapient life? That's your FIRST go-to? No questions? Not a moment's hesitation?

All right then, I'm sure this has absolutely no terrifying implications about your attitudes toward other things in life that are unfamiliar and scary to you...

#tech #ai tag #the only scary thing about neural nets is the profit motives behind their rushed and shoddy implementation #which dont get me wrong thats fucking terrifying #the fact that people are out here selling chatbots that will lie to and gaslight and sexually harass you is uh............bad #the fact that theyre trying to use bots to put people out of work with no contingency plans for anyone displaced is also absolute trash #but neural nets as a whole are genuinely one of the most fascinating breakthroughs in computer science #i am so happy im alive to see them #i just wish people didnt have to try to shove them into some of the most inappropriate cognitohazardous applications possible #because they HAVE to turn a PROFIT for our corporate overlords to be WORTH anything right??? #fight the ceos not the bots

[gravitasmalfunction]

Have the tech companies considered disrupting traditional corporate practice and capturing value by innovative business models by, for example, not having CEOs?

#just a suggestion #i don't know what the profit margins are like exactly but i bet eliminating exec remuneration gives them a good ol' boost #and you only have to do one set of redundancy paperwork instead of hundreds or thousands #if the reply guy functions of a ceo are important the dev team can probably knock together a bot for that

[mumpsetc]

Gotta admit, your bot rant intrigues me. I definetly agree with what you said and all but it makes curious, how you rewrite the bot plot to make it not as bad as it actually is given the choice? <:) (Also want to take this as oppurtunity to say I love your takes and art by the way!)

First Off: Omg Tysm That's So Sweet of You :]]]] 💕💕💕

Second Off: My Issue With the Bot Situation is I Feel It Squanders the Concept of Bot Being Based On Bow, a Person Who Did Exist and Also is Still Around. S3 Has Several People Who Knew Her, Her Miraculous Return From the Dead Should Raise a Couple of Eyebrows. I'm Not Crazy About Test Tube and Fan Making Her, I Feel Its a Odd They Did This When They Explicitly Learned Not to Project Their Feelings Onto Other Concious Beings Before, and Also I Simply Don't Think Either of Them are This Disrespectful. Both of Them Were on Marshmallow's Team, They (In Theory) Would Know How Much Bow Meant to Her.

S3 Keeps Gesturing At the Theme of a Show Being Dragged Out Long Past When It Should've Finished and I Think Bot Should Be a Thesis Character for This, and I Think the Weird Walkie Talkie Voice Should've Been Responsible for Her Existence. We Don't Know Anything About Walkie Talkie Because She Doesn't Do Anything, if She Did Make Bot That Would Make Sense With Her Whole Goal of Keeping ii Running and it Would Add Some Tension ans Complexity to the Series. How Did She Do This and Why? Are There Other People Involved? Isnt This Horribly Invasive? You Could Still Have Test Tube and Fan Adopt Bot or Whatever Idc But If She Was Made By a Shadowy Faceless Entity Using the Likeness of a Popular Dead Celebrity to Boost Ratings of a New TV Show That Would Say Something Right? There's a Statement Being Made Here, What's the Statement of Test Tube and Fan Making Bot Other Than "We Did Not Learn From the Egg Baby."

#Like Imagine Mephone Finding Out He Worked With Someone Whos Also Doing Some Weird Robot Child Abuse? #Or How ii Contestants Like Paintbrush Who are Very Aware of How Theyre Percieved Would Feel Knowing Theyre Profitable Enough to Bring Back #After Death? #This is Kinda Creepy and Raises a Lot of Questions About the World Outside of the Show and How They Regard the Show Itself #Idk S3 Keeps Forsaking Unique Ideas That Match the Plot and Characters for Cookie Cutter Generic Schlock #Also This is Unrelated Fan Left His Kid #When He Got Eliminated He Didnt Even BOTHER Trynna Get Back #This Guy Left His Fuckin Robot Kid!!! He Told Test Tube He Was Getting a Pack of Smokes and Didnt Come Back!!!! #He Doesnt Deserve to Be in the Found Family Test Tube Was a Single Mother Here Basically #ii negativity #Dreamy.txt #Awseriously and Schoolunchtray Made Good Posts Abour Bot Too Thats Why Im Thinkin Bout Her #It Would Also Make Them Fucking Around Aimlessly On the Island More Interesting Cuz Like #They Dont Know There are Weird Clones of Them #FUCK THE HORRIBLE IMPS IN THE NEWEST EPISODE COULD BE REVEALED TO BE WEIRD LAB MONSTERS OR SOMETHINF!!! #AE LET ME WRITE YOUR FUCKING SHOW I MADE THE DOGASS POKEMON EPISODE LORE RELEVANT!!!!!! #If iii Revealed the Object World at Large Was Like Antiviral Id Forgive It for Everything Its Done to Me #Objective Criticism

Hello, I'm from Gaza City because of the war,my house was destroyed. We lost everything,my family and I did not have anything left. We left our homes in search of a safe place and we were displaced three  times to different places to survive, but unfortunately there's no safe place in Gaza. My mother is very sick and she's a kidney failure patient in need of treatment outside. She suffers from LS. Help me and my family to survive. Please, your small donation can make a huge difference. A friend outside Gaza has come in to help me run the donation program so that my mother can be evacuated

i actually find these fake bot accounts pretending to be people from gaza asking for donations beyond insidious. To the person or bot behind this: you are a revolting pathetic disgusting excuse for a human being and I wish you the most sincere Get Fucked.

I've received a bunch of these spam asks in the past couple weeks and every time they make my blood fucking boil. This account, like all the others, was made 2 days ago.

Reminder to people who want to donate to Gaza: donate to reputable organizations like PCRF or UNWRA. Or purchase esims for people in Gaza. Or, if you want to donate to an individual family, go through the Operation Olive Branch spreadsheet, all of these fundraisers have been verified.

#free palestine #these bots trying to profit from a genocide are actually the scum of the earth

Some top-tier bot usernames as of late

#oh to be a profitable rat with unreasonable power #bots #tumblr bots

[ictaculargrunflax]

i wish i had followers who arent bots

#where are these bots even coming from #who is profiting off this? #ictalkular #bots #cringe

[ggwweenn1]

Is Tumblr operating at a loss? or is it just like... not making money? could it be operated as a nonprofit and just run as is?

#like it would be infeasible for us to crowdfund and buy tumblr to run as a not-for-profit social media #the tumblrina crowdfunding record is bot great #but imagine

[ecto-space]

oh hey i just realized i don't think i've gotten a spambot follower in a day or two

#is staff finally getting their shit together or are the people behind the bots finally realizing their spam army isn't profitable #who knows

[brandonflowers420]

brandonflowers420 is 20 bots away from reaching the same amount of followers it had before I attempted to kill Brandon with my bare hands in June 2020.

#thinking about them as people too deeply is humbling which is why I fill the void with p*rn bots #200 real people clicking unfollow bc i thought they should have shown more support for blm #after profiting off a song about the struggles of racism is craaazy #and then they were accused of AT LEAST being complicit in a series of horrible SA allegations #like oh sorry my bad ur not having fun anymore

lmao the neo clone I played over a year ago that had a toxic discord server, bot scandals, and a completely wrecked economy from day 1 has a writeup on r/hobbydrama now

#it got even worse somehow #I stopped playing once I found the 2nd bc the 1st's atmosphere sucked hard #comparing that and the one I play now is actually a fascinating study bc tl;dr the first had basically no features on launch #the main way to make NP was a very limited amount of dailies which. obviously. could only be done once a day. and you may not even win from #the next best method was restocking morphing potions. but only if you were quick enough/had the money to buy it in the first place #and the profit relied on it being a pet people would actually want #so you could easily lose money buy impulsing an unpopular species/colour combo potion you could never resell to anyone #popular combos were obviously snatched up quicker #and when I snatched I mean “all but confirmed rumours of a select few users making restocking script bots” #people had nothing to do and got bored so naturally they started fighting #that wasn't actually very tl;dr but you get the idea lmao #reminder: day ONE #the second site: added 10 daily jobs to do from the start for common restockable/junk items which could net you about 100k easy. #people actually made spreadsheets of the job items and set up shops of them in bulk for people to buy at a fair price #also a simple-if-tedious card game that pays out a cap of 50k and only costs 50np a round #you have more pet slots instead of neo's traditional 4 #which meant people could now dedicate spaces to more “unpopular” pets they'd never considered before instead of picking and choosing #(for instance I have a royalgirl buzz! never really bothered with buzzes before then) #so more morphing potions get sold
