   The AI version of patreon whores embedding malware in their art to stop the scrapers is here (who wants to be the first to reverse engineer this)

     @PurpCat It's gonna be a cat and mouse game with them on losing side, since everything unseen by human eye could be filtered out by some preprocessing routines, and everything that can be seen would just be ruining your own work to own the chuds.

     @mint Also once upon a time there were furry porn artists trying DRM in their artwork to stop the darn pirates from sharing paid furry porn art from Patreon.
     
     This would absolutely start shitshows, but also it was only the most mentally unstable and insane who would do this. I recall the artist formerly known as Blitzdrachin before her great big psychotic break that led to her completely nuking her NSFW art from the web (and failing because there's mirrors) was notorious for being mental and doing something like this. This made her the butt of jokes among furries and places like u18chan for doing stuff like this.
     
     Even if she wasn't, I know she was "turn off that pesky adblock" levels of neurotic over this, and many furry porn artists were too. Before AI, it was those damn furries sharing the porn that would lead them to working at McDonalds (the one thing every furry porn artist fears).

     @PurpCat Nowadays artists just put an expired link to Dropbox folder with all the works, and then quickly swap it with a working one after the post gets imported on Kemono. Not like it matters since they're killing themselves with theit own incompetence, the Fanbox importer has been dead since at least September and no one bothered to fix it yet.

     @mint Yeah it seems like a lot of people into that kinda stuff have gotten lazy or burnt out.
     
     Especially as the furry scene in general has been crumbling since 2017 give or take, especially when everyone went on Twitter. Nobody wants to bother as much when everyone in that scene is an aggressively hostile backstabber and there's a general feeling of malaise around the community.
     
     Unless you're in that scene just to seek out sex.

     @mint @PurpCat I find it pretty funny that AI research already thought of this idea to automate adversary to build more powerful AIs (generative adversarial networks). People praising these poisoning techniques as a means to fight AI assume newer AIs will never come out and are unaware that their efforts are creating more robust ones.

     @mint @PurpCat it'll be funny when there's a tool to automatically identify and clean poisoned images before they're fed into a model, and then somebody from 4chan or wherever takes it a step farther and writes a report bombing script that uses the output
     one minute you're owning the AI chuds, the next you're desperately appealing bans for vague terms of service violations to corporations who couldn't give less of a fuck

     @Coyote @mint Well here's a metaphor.
     
     So I have this camera called a Konica Autorex and it's very notorious because it has a switch to shoot half frame and full frame on the same negative.
     
     This absolutely makes the Noritsu scanners shit themselves, along with the Hasselblad XPan, Horizon, and other "panoramic cameras".
     
     The person at the camera shop who does processing is trying to experiment with scanning it constantly because she knows 100% she is going to get some other person using some nonstandard 35mm camera and she wants to know how to properly scan it with what she has there.
     
     That's what I think this is like, someone is going to crank away at it trying to find out what it uses and since they're publishing their model, you know it's going to be an always losing cat and mouse game.

     @pyrate @PurpCat Satellite "fishing" was quite popular here back in dialup days. Of course you couldn't send anything without the proper terminal and keys, but you could just intercept traffic of all the users in your area. Won't work in the era of TLS, sadly.

     I'm ready to figure out how to build a rogue starlink modem that duplicates another person's subscription.
