Soyjak.Party / The Sharty - The altchan born from the ashes of /qa/; also a containment thread

I'll say whatever I have to, it doesn't matter. The guy owned the site's and domains until August so the lie had to be kept up until he was totally off the servers.
Also the little buddy stuff started as a dismissive thing for when toadposters would make seetheralds like this, but people started wanting to get called little buddy which made me laugh, check the q/a threads. Add in the babyjak stuff and now it's went from two people seething at each other to a funny call/response that also makes seriousfags livid. I think it's cute.

circlejerking BAD because uh... Ummm
I think you are being too harsh on me. I AM NOT circlejerking. I am contributing to the thread in a constructive and informative way. I am sharing my perspectives and experiences in soyjak.party and its culture. I am not blindly praising or bashing the site, I am providing nuanced and balanced views on it. I am not flooding or derailing the thread, I am adding to the discussion and enriching it. I appreciate my posts and the effort I put into them and I hope you can see their value too. I am simply expressing my opinions on the situations that arise.

I am not siding with anyone, I am just agreeing with the frogtroon who pointed out the inconsistencies and contradictions in Doll’s story. I am not looking for attention, I am just trying to make sense of the drama and expose the truth.

I don’t know much about the kolyma larp or the “Carter” thing, but from what I’ve read, it seems like Doll is the one who is lying and manipulating the sharty. He is the one who sold out the site to Froot, the offsiter newtroon. He is the one who betrayed his former friends and colleagues, and accused them of being gay pedophiles or something. He is the one who cares more about his own ego and power than the actual state of the website.

I’m not saying that I'm right about everything, or that I am perfect. I have my own flaws and biases, like everyone else. But I deserve some respect and appreciation for my contributions to the thread. I am not your enemy, I am your fellow shartizen. Or harmless, at worst.

Edit: I’m very disappointed and hurt by the way some of you have reacted to my posts. I don’t understand why you have to use the “Autistic” reaction feature to mock and insult me. It’s very mean and unnecessary. It’s also ironic, because you are the ones who are being autistic by being so hostile and defensive. I was just expressing my opinions, I wasn’t being offensive or provocative. I hope you can reflect on your behavior and apologize to me.

You do so at your own risk I suppose. I think the manager was pretty clear with that point.

Also you interact with any janny at your own risk too. You guys should of believed me when I said talking to the ex-janny a couple posts above this one is going to be an exercise in futility hahaha.

Bullshit. You're squandering the opportunity to have a civil and respectful dialogue, and to learn from each other’s perspectives. I’m not here to waste your time, or to annoy you. I’m here to participate in the thread, and to contribute to the topic. I’m here to listen to what you have to say and vice-versa.

hello 'farms swedishwin.com owner here, anybody know who these kiwis LARPing as troononymous are? and why they post from iphone?

in exchange, AMA about the site and why i made le new splinter or whatever
Honestly, anyone siding the frog niggers here is missing the whole point. Frogniggers have wanted to destabilize the existance of soyjak's in general. The entirity of /soy/ right now is almost 70% frog in either the replies or posts. 'cord niggers are actively working to try to keep the site destabilized in this position. Jannies can't do shit due to the high PPH, so expect high NSFW NAS spam outside of /soy/. Jannies are not responding to any inquiries on /q/.

info on troublesome posters or providing leads to groups who use the site this man moderated.
I know this isn't targeted at me, but at this point, I have enough information on what this faggot janny somehow doesn't have that I feel like it's worth dumping on this thread, even if keeping it a secret is much more beneficial. I'm probably

First, let me state that my testimony somehow got on the 'ki. I legitimately didn't expect this.:
1709256664166.png


The server I was talking about here was the afterparty. Apart from this quote, I have more info about the afterparty and the Averi 'cord that spammed that 'p image a month or two ago with their shitty 'cord invite in the background.

The "pig pen" in this context is the channel that all new members of the afterparty join after joining from the spammed 'cord links. They are given only a few Spadeson GIF's and nothing else. Little activity is here, but the owner (arkein/arkeln) occasionally comes over. There is occasionally ex-members or rival 'cords coming in and spamming 'p onion links, which is mentioned in my 'ki quote.

Quite honestly, I partially retract my 'p accusation against the afterparty. It's hard over text to see if someone means it as in "let me see if this was actually 'p so I can report it" or "let me see if it's 'p so I can 'oon to it) and most members are (publicly) staunchly against 'p niggas. I stand behind all else though.

The afterparty's main goal is to ultimately feel like they have control over the site and to destabilize it. A quote from dada that I will never forget on /q/ that I obviously couldn't archive in time as I didn't have a reason to since I didn't have KF was that only less than a dozen IP's were behind the blogposting 'pliers on the entirity of /soy/. A small amount of losers can totally fuck up a catalog and earn themselves a 'ki page. The afterparty is essentially a troll group for the 'sharty.

I plea the fifth on whether or not I have people I know in the server that are sending over info, or if I just pieced it together from the conversations I had with some members being undercover as a new member, or if I'm just lying and got it from some basic OSINT and deduction.

Here is mainly what the affy does.​


-The afterparty generally used Spadeson spam and was responsible for its initial boom on /soy/ and /qa/.

-The afterparty tries to derail raids. Arkeln or another member usually announces a raid thread, and then attempts to subtly or very visibly derail it. If discovered early, the priority is saging, "nobody cares", "literal who", and making anyone raiding feel like shit. If it gets too far like Pokem-ACK, the goal then becomes to launch as much shit at it. Irrelevent memes, zoomer coal to distract people, anything. If it gets really out of control, 'lita spam can occur. I know of one member who spams Soylita r34 apart from the rest of the group. I'm unaware if 'lita posting is encouraged inside the main server.

-The 'cord link spamming was initially a requirement to join the server. It was essentially a pyramid scheme where the more times you shilled the link on /soy/, the more perks you got. If I remember correctly, 5-10 incidents of shilling were needed to get in. Eventually, when the initial server got banned for hate speech, they moved to the afterparty name and made the admission requirements more disgusting and strict to discourage people like me wanting to journo their op's. Spamming the link is now pretty much a way that they use to search for anyone that is interested in them. It's not meant to "convert" but to announce to the world to anyone interested in destabilizing the 'sharty.

-There are two snitches on the server. They occasionally take screenshots of the server and upload it whenever a thread is getting raided. The DNSL raid was nearly foiled by the afterparty until someone in the server took a screenshot and uploaded it since they personally thought the raid the gemmy. These snitches have not yet uploaded a full data drop of the 'affy server, probably because they are either scared of the blackmail video's they were forced to take being spread, or that they have done unethical stuff themselves and don't want it seen in the data drop. These snitches are unaware of who the other is.

-The members generally use Discord alts to sign up to the server, and name themselves after namefags or mods on the actual 'sharty.

-They've been recently experimenting with tech on how to bypass the hashbanning. You might've seen the images of random colors or Happy Merchant's in the background with their shitty 'cord invite in the foreground with random unicode and text being spammed on /soy/ during eurohours. That's them essentially trying to figure out fast ways to generate novel images and figure out the bare minimum needed to change it to something the filter won't detect. May God have mercy on all of us if their research accidentally gets spread to 'p spammers.

-'cord raids got banned because they always come to the server first and spam their shitty discord link. Everytime I made a burner account to participate in a 'cord raid of an ackbox streamers, they would be there, and they seem to REALLY love bibisi or race play shockers. I saw them on the Wojak Paradise raid as well, the amount of video's of naked men whispering "i love niggers, i want nice juicy big black cock up my ass" that were being spammed was actually scary.

I expect that I'll get heavily soyquoted with a troonjak in their shitty little server, and that a new account here is suddenly going to make bait-y posts to try and distract. Don't fall for it.

Also, I noticed that as soon as my testimony came out on the 'ki, they banned some random guy and said that it was me on the /q/ thread that I testified on. They banned someone innocent because they were panicking to try and get me off the server.

Before I move on to the Averi server, I want to say that while I can't send any screenshots apart from the one below or data dumps of the server since I want to keep just how much I know a secret and what my sources are, just trust me when I say that almost all of "leaked" screenshots of the "sharty mod discord" and the alligations that the Soot Q&A are fake are made up by the 'affy to mess with 'teens:
dacord.png

Yes, he has a bloxtard pfp, and he really is called goonercatgirl. You can see him in my DNSL raid screenshots if you look closely. "Froob" is a close friend of the owner. The pizza guy is a mod and assists arkeln.

What the Averi server does​

This was extremely difficult to get info on since laws in my juristiction make it illegal to knowing participate in a server with any CSAM on it, even if you report or don't even participate. I still have got a lot, though, even with following the law.

-Has 60-65 members at a given time.

-Close knit group of 'p spammers.

-The main 'p spammer shares .onion links of actual pedo or toddler focused websites.

-Usually edits the CSAM with a bunch of Spadeson and Averi in the background so that PhotoDNA can't detect it, adds the 'cord invite on top, then spams it during eurohours.

-Only spams 'p during eurohours.

I realize that now I've made this public, the members are going to take extra precautions to stay afloat and away from being doxed or having their entire server be data dropped and uploaded here. I don't care, honestly. I've stopped watching them for a while I think the info I got here is enough to justify why people should never join them. Deleting Fucking Everything is not going to make you suddenly cleaner. I think we should honestly just leave them alone, mass-report, all that. Potential legal action will befall the Averi server soon, if LE's familiarity with the Foodist and /soy/ (from that shooter manifesto) subculture and slang is anything to go by.

You have the choice of either spamming BBC race bait shockers and potentially being 'p niggers, or definitely spamming 'p and gooning to porn of an animated fox. Choose your poison, 'cord sissy.
 
@Gustaf VI Adolf
Most likely a false flag to obstruct actual group of responsibility, as there have been no open channels of operations here. Or it could just be one of the infinite sharty users who are in this thread, who have a problem with Doll in particular. Your best bet would be individuals associated with Kuzist movements, or people who are mad at Doll for banning doxing, so the list of suspects still remains at a lot.
That being said, this is less of a kiwifarms thing and more of an internal Soy splinter civil war gayops sort of thing.

Since you are doing an AMA, I'll ask you specifically.
1. "Are you affiliated with MCE, Clayparty, GIH, UTTP, Trihard Legion, or the various Discord groups such as TNDFucci, Native Thinkers or /qa/fe? Also known as the collective Groomcord?"

2. "Are you the group who have been leading the doxing and raid events within the past few months, such as Operation 9/11, the Rev Says, Pippa, Operation Poke-ack, among others?" If so, why are you doing these, and through what external channels are you organizing such events, because due to the size of the operations, the inferred viewpoint is that it is not solely organic specifically to your website, or on the Sharty itself. If your group is not responsible for the organized raids and doxes, then why are you attempting to suck the dick of the group that does? "

@albumen
Thank you for that information dump, that is extremely helpful.
Could you entertain a couple of questions for me?
1. The afterparty, do you believe is the /qa/fe version 3.0, or do you believe it is Native Thinkers 2.0?
2. Have you noticed a user named Reginmyre, or Heaven on it?
3. Do you have any screenshots, invites, server IDs, user IDs?
4. This is the first time hearing about an Averi discord, who do you believe their connection lies with? From what it sounds like, mix of GIH, Gilman, /qa/fe.
5. Why Averi in particular? Last I remember, Averi was relevant on the sharty because a user utilized the avatar called out those particular groups, particularly GIH, which given how they are spamming onion links to CP, most likely infers it involves the same people.
6. Have you noticed a user named Pissbabyfurgod, kevin, or reginmyre on that Averi server?
7. Again, do you have any screenshots, invites, server IDs, user IDs?

dude what can tranjans do except from talk to other jannies. file ban requests (or is that a 4chan janitor thing) and dilate.

leave the fucktard alone
I was not aware you could switch usernames on Kiwifarms. Thank you for teaching me this.
@Touch Of The ‘Tism formerly known as @Southern Yeehaw is a sharty raider who attempted to call in Kiwifarms users to a sharty raid of some Twitter literal who, utilizing a screencap of their twitter. This user failed to notice his own twitter handle was attached, NorthernYeehaw. When confronted about it, it was confirmed, and this user had furry gay anal sex in his likes.
You can find that confrontation here within this thread


These are the people who are upset at Doll banning doxing, and defending blogposting tranny jannies on Kiwifarms; @Gustaf VI Adolf and @Noir32 is he one of yours, considering how this particular user wanted to involve Kiwifarms in gayops against literal Twitter who's while practicing bad OpSec? I only ask because your website exists solely because of Doll's ban on doxing literal who's.
*edit* Upon linking to said post, I'm surprised you're able to change Twitter display names as well. Thank you for enlightening me.
Since we're looking into memory lane, let's consider the name, MTlover2020. I assume this is along the lines of BMT or 'MT, Baby Monkey Torture, which seems to be extremely prevalent around the literal who doxing fans and groups as "Shock, gore" content. Specifically the groups, GIH, Clayparty, and the like. So again, would like to ask, "Is this one of your swedishwin guys, because if it is, that kind of infers you're affiliated monkey torture individuals."
Feel free to educate me if that isn't the case; however it is pretty apparent that the people who are mad about literal who bans are quite literally, by example of Southern Yeehaw/Touch of the Tism, fucking furry faggots.

I'm surprised this thread doesn't have a custom "Pandemic" tag on it at this point when even Doll is actively posting in the thread now. Though considering the post quality from exceptional individuals from time to time, perhaps "The Black Plague" is a better fit at times.
For those unaware, the "Diseased"/"Plagued" tags refer to people from the community in question posting in the thread, not necessarily an indicator of the thread's quality. At least, thats what I remember.

There really ought to be a poll to give this thread a custom tag.
Pandemic (considering how 98% of this thread is sharty+splinter users, feds, and interested observers)
Black Plague (considering the amount of cancer)
Las Plagas (considering the amount of crossovers)
Radioactive Wasteland (considering the amount of Glowops)

Me personally? I'm waiting on the personalized hub for this extended cinematic soy and cyber crime universe, because damn. The amount of ties here would put Marvel and DC to shame.

Confirmed ties:
Foodists, GIH, Various Splinters, UTTP, Vidlii, Vichan, Torswats, Cvlt, 764, Ethan Ralph Killstream, Trihard Legion, Sonnenkrieg, Atomwaffen, Patriot farms, Sew3r, Million Pity Tears, Kolyma, Gurochan, Lolico,
And that is just the surface level public stuff; it is honestly mindboggling how a web-forum about bald men with glasses somehow is the nexus point for so many things, but then again, I suppose that is the nature of the internet.
 
There really ought to be a poll to give this thread a custom tag.
We should just get the 3 problem users threadbanned, but I have no faith in moderation actually doing that because they probably see this entire thread as a trash fire.

Generative Artificial Intelligence

Generative Artificial Intelligence (gAI, GenAI, AI Art, AI slop, etc.) is a relatively new technology that leverages advanced machine learning models to create original content, such as text, images, music, and code. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence research has been ongoing since the 1940s, with the first neural networks being developed in the 80s. In the 2010s, the first Generative AI models started coming out, with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) generating realistic images all the way back in 2014. In 2018, OpenAI released GPT-2, one of the first Language Models that wasn't completely retarded.

However, everything changed starting in 2020. Before then, gAI was mostly seen as a meme by the internet and the general public didn't know much about it. But when OpenAI released GPT-3 in 2020 it quickly became one of the biggest topics of discussion throughout the world. As the 2020's progressed and Image models were released, the most prominent being Stable Diffusion and MidJourney in 2022, people started realizing the power of gAI. Basically every tech company has been jumping on the AI hype train, and open source communities have been working day and night on their FOSS porn models.

That brings us to today, 2024 2025, where AI is becoming prevalent in almost every facet of our lives. As the decade progresses we will likely see more improvement and more things previously thought impossible, likely including man-made horrors beyond our comprehension. FOSS image models are better than they have ever been and with almost 3 years of people using them, some people are able to create images that are basically indistinguishable from human made art. That brings us to our first topic of discussion:


Anti-AI 'Artists'

Artists, well known for often being one of the most insufferable communities on the internet, have in general not taken too kindly to generative AI. While there are some reasonable level headed artists, many feel like gAI is a soulless robotic threat to their livelihood. Most do not understand how gAI works, likening the training process to "theft". Of course, theft implies that the victim had something taken from them which isn't the case when an image is used in training, but I digress. Some examples of the misunderstanding/willful ignorance, also known as AI Derangement Syndrome (AIDS), of these artists:


1722806778342.jpeg
These Anti-AI artists (often called "antis") are also known for being quite violent, talking about their utter hatred for and drawing pictures of violent acts being committed towards AI users. This violence and hatred towards AI users (who they lovingly call AI bros) is a common theme.

1722807345415.pngA, reply seemingly deleted before it could be archived. Thanks @Peregrinor for the archives.

And one of the most egregious examples of this violence is this post on X, where an artist posts an animation of them essentially torturing and murdering an AI user for the crime of using AI. The comments are very supportive too.

a
1722885068273.png
1722885112698.png

Antis often spout hypocritical arguments, like being for copyright and intellectual property (and even wanting to copyright styles) while also creating fanart and saying that its A-OK to pirate Adobe software (it is okay to do so though). It's safe to say that any anti that uses copyright as an argument to be against AI while also creating fanart of copyrighted characters either has no idea what they are talking about or is arguing in bad faith. I think this (a) reddit post explains the hypocrisy well.

Multiple artists who have adopted AI as apart of their workflow (or even just have played with AI) have been attacked by rabid antis. A few examples are:

Shadiversity-
Shad is a bit of a lolcow himself. Regardless, he's a pretty smart dude and makes good videos about swords and other weapons and is a published author. On the side apparently he makes art, and with the advent of AI has started making AI art. He's made a few videos about it now, including this very good video about how AI works and how it in fact does NOT steal art.

While that video got some mild backlash, the next video he made about it got more. In his video titled "A love letter to Ai art - you don't need to be afraid", he talks about how he uses AI and why he likes it.
This was the response to the video:

1722899461576.png

1722899474814.png

1722899497666.png

1722899509039.png

and those are just a few comments i found by sorting by new. here's the recommended videos when watching that one, you can see that a significant amount of them are anti-AI and/or anti-shadiversity:
1722899581201.png
Needless to say, his video did not make people very happy.

Ergojosh-
Ergojosh is apparently a respected artist YouTuber despite having fewer than a million subscribers. Most of his videos don't even reach 100k views, but people are absolutely melting down after he came out in favor of AI art. Unlike shad, he is clearly a very talented artist without AI, with the following picture being a sketch of his. Clearly a skilled man.
1722899795477.png
He uses AI throughout the drawing process and ends up with this final image:

1722900231531.png

I personally think it's a good picture. His community seemed to disagree though:
1722900300337.png

1722900314585.png

1722900416671.png

1722900464737.png

Here's the full video, archived in case he deletes it because of the backlash.


Adam Duff LUCIDPIXUL made a video defending him, then when everyone hated it, he took it down and put up a new video running damage control.
The original video doesn't seem to be archived anywhere, but here's a clip that was managed to be saved from reddit:
Below is a clip from reddit, but the whole video was found and uploaded here.



Corridor Digital-
Corridor Digital, a well known CG studio, released a short project that used AI. While it got alot of love, it also had plenty of backlash at the time and still gets negative comments constantly. The video looks pretty neat despite the errors, but as with ergojosh's cool picture, some people disagree:


The video in question

1722901203098.png

1722901216046.png

1722901229079.png

And those are just some of the major examples. You can find many more examples of smaller artists being attacked for their use of AI on X and Reddit.


Cara.app and the Cara Discord

Cara is an "AI-free" art sharing social network that launched in mid-2023 and blew up in popularity in mid-2024 after Meta's policy change announcement.

Notably the Cara Discord is one of the places that Moepi (who will be discussed later) has been banned from due to his antagonism toward other users, and the Glaze team in particular.

Before it blew up, Cara was known for providing a web-based Glaze interface ("CaraGlaze") that was popular among its userbase. Unfortunately, Glaze is an inefficient and expensive pile of crap, so they had to take it down when the site grew. Previously Cara also utilized the Hive image scanner to detect AI images (we all know how well those work); that also became too expensive to continue doing. As a result, people are uploading AI art to Cara just to troll at this point.


Due to poor efficiency and the massive influx of users, Cara wracked up over $90,000 in expenses.
1722883857677.png
Zhang is also involved in an ongoing lolsuit, which is discussed a little more later.

Glaze/Nightshade/Ben Zhao's personality cult
Glaze and Nightshade are tools developed by a research team at the University of Chicago led by Professor Ben Y. Zhao. The purpose of the tools is to disrupt the training of AI models, either by making an image "invisible" to the AI during training (Glaze), or destroying the AI model entirely (Nightshade). Unfortunately, neither tool is particularly good at its job. They are not only bad at what they are supposed to do, but they also use gAI to apply the perturbations designed to attack the models, using existing variants of standard image models. Not only that, but they take as much energy/computational resources as image generation itself! So basically everything they accuse AI prompters of doing, they do themselves.

There's also the fact that most AI datasets are in the order of BILLIONS of images. Even if you got 10,000 artists to glaze 100 of their artworks each, that's only 1 million images or about 0.01% of the LAION-5B dataset. But good luck getting that many artists to use glaze, most can't even run it. Spy lab, a private security company that focuses on machine learning, posted a complete and brutal takedown of glaze software.

At its initial release, Glaze was criticized for violating the GPL, despite being billed as a tool to "protect" copyright.

In return for its abysmal level of "protection", Glaze is notorious for introducing horrible artifacts to images. Some paranoid artists have taken to using Glaze on the final version of works they send to clients.

1723149294253.png


This went about as well as you'd expect.

1722813993923.png

I, for one, would be glad to pay $500 for denatured artwork. What about you?

Despite being the Director of Graduate Studies at his university, Ben Zhao is notorious for his unprofessional behavior and hostile attitude toward "AI bros" and other researchers. Perhaps the best example of this behavior was his constant shitting on Nicholas Carlini:
1723150387228.png

1723150413807.png

He also claims "AI bros" are using Glaze (where?):

1723150471951.png



In the fall of 2023, Ben Zhao announced Nightshade, a tool to produce poisoned images which would destroy an entire model if trained on.

Is this actually legal? Ben Zhao sure thinks it is!

Unfortunately neither Ben Zhao nor his orbiters live in reality, since a company he shilled Nightshade to apparently decided against using it (screenshot from Spring 2024).

It's important to remember that anti-AI artists have an absolutely unshakable faith in Glaze and whatever other garbage the Glaze team pumps out:

In fact, I wonder who's in the banner of r/artisthate:

Whatever new information or research comes out only makes Glaze stronger. All criticism is merely a test of their faith in Glaze.


Also worth mentioning is Nullbuldge, a gay furry hacking group that compromised a popular AI image generation tool. In the end it was mostly a nothingburger, but I encourage you to check out the linked post that exposes them.


Pro-AI techno-optimists cultists (and others)

While the antis are surely the most vocal and retarded community to come from all of this, on the other side of the spectrum there's a community of people known as "Effective Accelerationists", or "e/acc" for short. e/acc is a techno-optimist movement who's goal as stated by one of the movement's founders is to "climb the Kardashev gradient", referencing the pop-sci concept known as the Kardashev scale. Basically they want to accelerate technology to the point where we are all space robots who use up all the resources in the universe. Wikipedia puts it this way: "The founders of the movement see it as rooted in Jeremy England's (a literal jewish rabbi) theory on the origin of life, which is focused on entropy and thermodynamics. According to them, the universe aims to increase entropy, and life is a way of increasing it. By spreading life throughout the universe and making life use up ever increasing amounts of energy, the universe's purpose would thus be fulfilled."

The start of the movement is credited to a newsletter published by four X users, @BasedBeffJezos, @bayeslord, @zestular and @creatine_cycle.

While these people aren't entirely wrong about everything, they are basically Elon Musk dickriding LARPers. I'll post some of the more egregiously retarded tweets they've made, you can also read their substack for more information on their theories.

mathematicians need to drop everything and work on the next AI chatbot!

These people aren't exactly funny most of the time, so I don't want to fill the thread up with their delusions. I implore everyone to skim their profiles at least though.

There's another website known as LessWrong, ran by Eliezer Schlomo Yudkowsky, that is a hive of this e/acc technocultist "philosophy." They are accredited with creating the 'rokos basilisk' thought experiment, which basically theorizes that when AI becomes an all powerful god it will eternally torture people who didn't actively help in it's creation. So to avoid technoHELL these people donate their money to AI research orgs (that already have billions of dollars.)
I recommend checking out the linked thread on Eliezer and LessWrong, lots of lols to be had.

LLM Induced Cyberpsychosis
Another AI Derangement phenomenon that has been noted recently are cases of retards and schizophrenics using language models such as ChatGPT to continuously feed into their delusions. These cases usually have similar themes of the user believing that their AI is sentient, or that it is providing them with some hidden knowledge. The subreddits r/ChatGPT and r/ArtificialSentience are both great places to visit to see example of such specimen.

A few months ago, this (A) post went viral, wherein a Reddit poster talks about how their partner has 'ChatGPT induced psychosis' from talking to ChatGPT.

Scary stuff!

You can find a lot of good stuff by searching specific keywords on these subreddits, like "resonance", "spiral", "recursion", and other terms. The AI really seems to like to use these terms when gaslighting schizophrenics, so it's a common theme. A few examples:
1753920590106.webp
1753920614843.webp
1753920681542.webp
1753920804920.webp
These people genuinely need help tbh. Many of them genuinely believe that their AI assistant is sentient.

There have also been articles written about this phenomenon:
1753920732496.webp
L A

Very fascinating stuff overall, and one of my personal favorite forms of AI Derangement out there. It's only a matter of time before people are killing themselves or others because their ChatGPT told them that doing so will break them out of the Alpha Resonance Spiral and let them into the real world or something.

4chan /g/ AI generals
4chan's /g/ board is the place to go on the website for anything AI that isn't pornographic. However, because the AI discussion on there is usually delegated to general threads they have devolved into schizophrenic namefag hugboxes. For now I would like to focus on /aicg/- AI Chatbot General. It calls itself "A general dedicated to the discussion and development of AI chatbots", however it is mostly retards addicted to jerking off to their AI waifus that they can't run on their own PCs so they have to use Proxies, other anons who provide the stolen keys to use corporate models.

Thankfully, /aicg/ has a dedicated lore/history page. It showcases everything important that has happened on the general. Below is a snippet of march of this year.
1722901813153.png
There are seemingly THOUSANDS of entries in the lore page. There is alot of retarded drama around specific proxy owners, such as "the Jew", "pepsi", "drago", and many others.
/aicg/, /sdg/, /ldg/, and /lmg/ are probably full of untapped entertaining drama. I've spent some time personally on /sdg/, and there are common name/avatarfags who everyone either hates or loves. Sadly, with the new Flux model coming out that's generally better than stable diffusion, /sdg/ seems to have been dying down in terms of juicy drama.
This is something that will take longer to research and report on, but I haven't seen these generals talked about much at all on the farms. Hopefully there's some kiwis who have paid more attention to the generals and can provide more insight.


AI 'debate' communities
There are three subreddits who exist in a trifecta of sorts, r/DefendingAiArt (DAA)- a Pro-AI subreddit, r/ArtistHate (AH)- a Pro-Artist Anti-AI subreddit , and r/AiWars (AIW)- the place where users of both subreddits fight in the battlefield of intellectual debate retarded flamewars.

It all started on December 18 2022 when DAA and AIW were created, the former being a self-described echochamber/safespace for pro-AI art redditors to commune, and the latter being a subreddit for debate regarding AI art. Both are moderated by the same people, but they take a very laissez-faire approach to moderating AIW. Four days later, AH was created. AH describes itself as "a pro-artist subreddit made to showcase, prove and expose increasing hate against artist and art hobbyists all over the internet and the world for reasons beyond us, and also show our opposition against it by sharing news, opinions and sources with each other."

These subreddits have been at war for almost two years at this point, and the concentrated autism has spawned a few notable individuals. However, the research into these communities is still very much a work in progress. There is more to learn. The following is what information we currently have on a few notable retards:


ItzMoepi
Much of this info is from this post by @Runch. Big thanks to him. Anything I directly steal from that post will be in a quote box. Please check out his posts for more in depth information.
Moepi (itzmoepi/Tenpi/imtenpi/P14y3r) is a 22-year-old male from New York who makes chiptune music, is a prolific web developer, dabbling artist, and really really REALLY hates AI. Spends all day every day sperging out on Reddit and Twitter about how harmful it is. Has performed extremely autistic long-form studies of ways artists can add noise to their images to make them un-scrapable for AI art...methods that no artist would ever use because of how destructive it is to the entire point of making art in the first place.

He is also obsessed with Genshin Impact and the lolicon character Klee, his most common avatar online. I defer to Null's judgement on wielding the p-word carelessly, so I'll just describe it as it is: on art sites he has favorited drawings of naked anime children.
Moepi is/was a moderator of AH. Before he went full DFE and tried to stop being a sperg on reddit, he would spend HOURS arguing on both AIW and AH, and would create many reddit polls to try to gauge opinions on AI. Of course, the polls are meaningless and Moepi himself would even actively change the results because he didn't like the outcomes. Sadly most of these are lost and likely not archived. Below is one of the only examples we currently have.

1722815392469.pnga
Moepi is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a lolicon. His pixiv bookmark list had drawings of naked children. Below is him comforting another user who is worried that liking drawings of little girls makes him a creep.
1722815636903.pnga

Moepi has created page after page of infographics about methods to defeat AI art, representing hours of work and study which is of absolutely no use to anyone at all. Seriously, if you go to his site https://rgbwatermark.net/ and click on the question mark, you can scroll for 10 minutes as he examines various ways to corrupt pictures of lolicons so that AI might not be able to scrape them properly. Some examples:​

I just joined this site, cool knowing it has a forum. I'll try to be as active as I can :)

I have been watching anime for a few years now, the first one I saw (excluding kid shows such as Pokemon and Digimon) was Higashi no Eden. I am also studying the Japanese language a bit, hopefully in a few years I can understand what the characters say without subs. I'm currently a junior in high school and am from New York.

Anyway, nice to meet everyone.He has good opsec and is as of yet undoxed. There's a Lemmy instance And Wanderer is there, so that might be a good place to look for more information.

In more recent news, Moepi claims to be retiring for good. But that's not all, user @MagneticTowels has done research into Moepi's identity and presents this alleged photo of him:

WonderfulWanderer777
WonderfulWanderer777 is a mod of AH who's unhinged behavior has caught many peoples attention. He usually makes dozens of posts/comments a day, all about how AI bros are evil or stupid or whatever. There's a discord but I refuse to download and use that satanic platform so some other brave kiwi will have to do the digging.


DissuadedPrompter / DissuadedBin
DissuadedPrompter may be somehow even more unhinged than Moepi. AIW has some of the most lax moderation on reddit, and he somehow got himself banned from it. However his alt, DissuadedBin is still up and trolling. He's made some very suspicious comments about porn/CSAM and while I don't want to make any baseless accusations, from my time observing him on AIW I'd wager that he's probably got some skeletons in his closet.

Lolsuits
As with any good internet community, there have been a few lolsuits filed. The most important now would be Getty Images v. Stability AI and Zhang v. Google LLC, with the former having Getty Images accusing Stability AI of using 12 million of its images without consent and the latter having Jingna Zhang and Sarah Andersen accusing google of using their copyrighted works to train its image generator. I'm not too well versed in law stuff, so hopefully a kiwi lawyer can give their two cents on the suits.
