#opt out of having your data sold to AI training programs

[haytalia]

hello i don't usually post non-hetalia here but this is super important. basically tumblr has made it so that all the content on this website is getting sold to some scummy AI company who will use this data to train their models ie. steal your artwork, your writing, etc. tumblr has made it so that you are automatically opted into this program.

use the instructions above to opt out. not all mobile users may have this option yet so use a browser instead!

if you want to read staff's post about this, you can do so here.

took these screenshots for people like me who would rather just know how to opt out than read several paragraphs on corporate greed

The Human Cockroach Plan

(an expanded version of an extract that I posted on Reddit)

Context for the title: a jeweled wasp taking over a cockroach and turning it into an unresisting host for its young. Warning: grisly.

To dismantle the Hero Association, the Neo Heroes are doing two things.  

​Attracting heroes.   Pro-heroes have a long list of legitimate complaints about the Hero  Association, and with the way the Monster Association raid went down, everyone's feeling a little down and asking themselves some hard questions. The speed with which the Neo Heroes have moved speaks to an outfit was waiting for that perfect moment. 

The frustrated employee is one of the best tools for a challenger looking to steal an incumbent’s thunder.  To that end, the Neo-Heroes have head-hunted McCoy. It’s no co-incidence he’s the second chief of operations at the Hero Association. It makes him someone who can see what needed doing, but who never has quite enough authority to see operational changes through. 

He knows what appeals to heroes: decent pay, not having to worry about daily essentials, good equipment, being able to do their work without excessive risk, readily-available back up, ongoing training. It’s a wonderful package. It’s a package the Hero Association would do very well indeed to offer. And it's worked like new money to attract a lot of pro-heroes.      

everything they’re discussing makes sense -- it’s a shame it’s under false pretenses

Seeding a false narrative. The Organization may not like monsters, but they know how to control them. They sent out five dragon-level threats to various cities, all beautifully controlled so that Blue managed to 'defeat' his without coming to harm and  saved a lot of the city he was protecting and looks like the up and coming messiah. While the pro-heroes couldn't save the cities they sought to protect. The Organization doesn't give a damn that they killed thousands of people, displaced hundreds of thousands and destroyed billions of dollars of property to tell that story. Individual human lives mean nothing to them.  Outside of that splendid victory by Blue, the record for the rest of the Neo Heroes was not quite so stellar.       

A new messiah raised on a literal hill of dead bodies

It's not enough to scatter the Hero Association and co-opt many of its heroes into working for them. They still need an army, which they're busy But stop and think: WOULDN'T IT BE EASIER TO USE ROBOTS? After all, we've seen their Machine Gods.

There are two advantages that people have over robots. First, no matter how clever an AI, when it's faced with inputs that weren't anticipated, it produces results that are logically consistent, but not useful. That's how King managed to fool Machine God G4 into letting him use the bathroom. We got a milder example with the VGS, which gave odd, but logical answers for some of the heroes who used it, answers based on the assumptions with which it was programmed. Second, there's the 'fun factor' that Atomic Samurai talked about. People have talents and gain mastery that eclipses any mimickry or adaptation. 

Even the cleverest AI  has its limitations

So to kill two birds with one stone, they're taking strong, talented people and gutting them like a wasp does a cockroach to produce powerful, flexible, talented warriors who are nevertheless as compliant and expendable as robots. Notice that they have no interest in cyborgizing the amateurs -- at least not until they get trained appropriately. Thank you, coach Darkshine!    Zaedats and Infelsinave have been converted. They’re living cockroaches, conscious and lucid but having no choice but to hand over all their resources until they’re empty.

All the good things they're providing serve their purpose of raising the Neo Heroes into products. Having housing provided means that Neo-Heroes’ environment is controlled. Especially the choice of a tower rather than an open city means that there’s little reason to mix with the outside world.  It’s not insignificant that heroes are overwhelmingly young men. What is a key point of young men?  They tend to hate cooking and aren’t afraid of taking supplements to get ‘gains’.  Free food? Sold. No need to lie about putting stuff in their drink -- guys who want to bulk up will grab it.  Free standardised equipment provided is perfect for grabbing highly-detailed data. And working in pre-selected teams means that there’s always eyes on you. All packaged up so slickly it hasn’t occurred to the vast majority of its heroes that they’re turkeys at a turkey farm and Thanksgiving is just round the corner.  

They're also cynically hunting down criminals with the talent to stay out of the Hero Association's grasp. Why? It's as one of the prisoners explains to Puri Puri -- society has little sympathy for them, even after they've done their time. Few people have the moral decency to protest if they're treated inhumanely.  After all, deluding ourselves into thinking that it can't possibly happen to us is a very human failing.

how generous we are with other peoples’ lives!

I have to admire how brazen the Neo Hero’s paymasters are.  The Organization is building that army they need, right under people's noses.   Mostly out of the people who are supposed to be opposing them. And in doing that, they're perverting the idea of hero into that of a hypocrite, which works perfectly for them. No one is moved by a hypocrite's words.  

You can call them a lot of things, but you can’t claim they’re hypocrites.  They’ve being upfront about what they’re doing. If you choose to read benign intent into their actions, it’s your funeral.  Literally.

One other technique to effectively eliminate car nicks without triggering any sort of damage to the cars and truck's coating project is through utilizing a block of solidified carbon dioxide.
