>A creativity tool for kids (and adults; consider memes).

Fixed that for you: (and adults; consider porn).

I don't think you realize the extent of the “underground” nsfw genai community, which has to rely on open-weight models since API models all have prude filters.


Don't forget the expensive sport cars.


I've never downloaded the Twitter app, only ever used the web. I live in Europe. I don't use VPNs. My account is marked as being located… in "the USA".

Is this a default fallback because they have no useful signal (the account is a decade old)?

Anyway, if it is this unreliable even in a very simple case, I do not see the point of trusting it to expose bot farms in Russia or India.


I am disappointed that this doesn't modify the underlying pdf structure (which is a horror show, I know) but instead relies on fairly lossy OCR back&fourths.

I wish an agent with a validation and rendering tools could instead manipulate the structure to accomplish those edits way less destructively, checking its progress with the tools.


>it is possible to generate NSFW images through Nano Banana—obviously I cannot provide examples.

It is in fact not at all obvious why you can't.

The American prudishness continues to boggle my mind.


I think this is doomed by the fact tweaks will break in subtle and unpredictable ways every time a website updates, and since you can't reliably detect that an existing tweak is now broken, you can't regenerate it automatically. Once the user notices something is broken, they'll regenerate, and since an LLM is writing the code, the result will be slightly different (layout, colors, positions, ...) than the previous iteration the user got accustomed to. This sounds maddening after a while, and frustration scales linearly with the amount of tweaks.

Sadly (?) the only reliable way to website unfuckery is and will remain crowdsourcing by a bunch of nerds (see: Easylist) for the foreseeable future. This product is the opposite of that, with everyone having their private collection of prompts/tweaks, which they will have to individually fix every two weeks.


On the contrary, in my experience this is very typical of the average failure mode / output of early 2025 LLMs for HTML of SVG.


Sounds insufferable.


What part of "best effort, unsupported" do you not understand, if you've read the article?

You're underestimating the amount of goodwill-run, unstaffed projects that any big corporation accrues over time, which accidentally become load bearing without anyone realizing until something goes wrong. Such unstaffed projects are usually very stable (from not having pressure to add features or earn profit) and therefore "just work" for years until something unusual, like an accidental DDoS, happens. In that time, the original author(s) and everyone with context have left the company. This is a very hard process/human problem to solve at FAANG scale.
