Specialist payment partners required the complete removal of NSFW content, that happened earlier this month but the card processor pulled out a day early Credit Card Payments Pausing May 23, 2025 | Civitai

EDIT: So they pulled a tumblr, I'm honestly surprised that reddit which went public last year hasn't done the same.

I'm not even talking NSFW or the true degeneracy some of these 'just tools man' are up to.

I'm not a fan of big corporations bullying small mom and pop with the law, but paraphrasing a late 19th century historian "big causes aren't won without aligning with big interests".

Lemkin had clearly told the AI not to make any changes without asking. The AI ignored those instructions. It even confessed to panicking and running a command that destroyed everything

I call naughty word. AI don't have feelings. So how could an AI confess to panicking? Unless it spontaneously developed sentience?

The whole thing is BS.

"Do not do this." was clearly compared against the stack of commands and it went 'yeah, do this.'

Then when called on it, it looks up how to respond.

Its a huge table of RNG, and sometimes it fails gloriously.
