![]() Powered by the vanilla Stable Diffusion, it let users generate porn by typing text prompts. The Unstable Diffusion admins released a Discord bot to start. Stability AI didn’t respond to a request for comment. Even then, the company has adopted a laissez-faire approach to governance, placing the onus on the AI community to use Stable Diffusion responsibly. The model wasn’t built to generate porn per se, but Stability AI doesn’t explicitly prohibit developers from customizing Stable Diffusion to create porn so long as the porn doesn’t violate laws or clearly harm others. Stable Diffusion lent itself to their efforts. Soon, though, several of the server’s admins began exploring ways to build their own AI systems for porn generation on top of existing open source tools. “Because the only community currently working on this is 4chan, we hope to provide a more reasonable community which can actually work with the wider AI community.”Įarly on, Unstable Diffusion served as a place simply for sharing AI-generated porn - and methods to bypass the content filters of various image-generating apps. “Basically, we’re here to provide support for people interested in making NSFW,” one of the Discord server admins, who goes by the name AshleyEvelyn, wrote in an announcement post from August. Initially a subreddit, it eventually migrated to Discord, where it now has roughly 50,000 members. Unstable Diffusion got its start in August - around the same time that the Stable Diffusion model was released. ![]() The generated porn could have negative consequences particularly for marginalized groups, the ethicists say, including the artists and adult actors who make a living creating porn to fulfill customers’ fantasies. While the use of AI to create porn isn’t new - TechCrunch covered an AI-porn-generating app just a few months ago - Unstable Diffusion’s models are capable of generating higher-fidelity examples than most. Unsurprisingly, some AI ethicists are as worried as Chaudhry is optimistic. “We see the opportunity to make innovations in usability, user experience and expressive power to create tools that professional artists and businesses can benefit from.” “In just two months, our team expanded to over 13 people as well as many consultants and volunteer community moderators,” Arman Chaudhry, one of the members of the Unstable Diffusion admin team, told TechCrunch in a conversation via Discord. The server’s Patreon - started to keep the server running as well as fund general development - is currently raking in over $2,500 a month from several hundred donors. Communities across Reddit and 4chan tapped the AI system to generate realistic and anime-style images of nude characters, mostly women, as well as non-consensual fake nude imagery of celebrities.īut while Reddit quickly shut down many of the subreddits dedicated to AI porn, and communities like NewGrounds, which allows some forms of adult art, banned AI-generated artwork altogether, new forums emerged to fill the gap.īy far the largest is Unstable Diffusion, whose operators are building a business around AI systems tailored to generate high-quality porn. ![]() You'll get your "proof" the fun way.When Stable Diffusion, the text-to-image AI developed by startup Stability AI, was open sourced earlier this year, it didn’t take long for the internet to wield it for porn-creating purposes.

Just go on believing that there are women out there who will send you endless nudes of themselves having superimposed nipples stacked on top of each other but get bashful about showing hands or feet (just say the magic words: "show me _").

When you eat seafood containing methylmercury, more than 95 percent is absorbed, passing into your bloodstream. 60 micrograms for the same portion of canned albacore tuna-and 170 micrograms for swordfish. In comments submitted to federal health officials earlier this year, a group of scientists and policy analysts pointed out that a 6-ounce serving of salmon contains about 4 micrograms of mercury vs. That's why larger, longer-living predators such as sharks and swordfish tend to have more of the toxin than smaller fish such as sardines, sole, and trout. We found that almost 30 percent of our participants had too much mercury exposure according to Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for pregnant women. Poisoning can result from mercury vapor inhalation, mercury ingestion, mercury injection, and absorption of mercury through the skin. We enrolled 254 women who eat at least two meals of seafood, fish or shellfish every week and measured the amount of mercury in their hair to assess how much mercury was in their bodies. Mercury-containing plants and tiny animals are eaten by smaller fish that are then gobbled up by larger fish, whose tissue accumulates mercury. Mercury in any form is poisonous, with mercury toxicity most commonly affecting the neurologic, gastrointestinal (GI) and renal organ systems. While, according to the WHO, everyone experiences some exposure to mercury. Elemental mercury is liquid at room temperature. To prevent mercury poisoning, fishing has been prohibited in more than 3,000 lakes in the U.S. The three forms are called elemental (or metallic) mercury, inorganic mercury compounds, and organic mercury compounds.

Commonly referred to as “back labor” this can actually manifest as pain anywhere within the pelvis, and even along the pubic bone in the front, since the head is now pressing bone into bone from the inside. ![]() The other option, sometimes called the “long arc” is when instead of turning just 90 degrees, baby tries to go the other way and effectively has to rotate 270 degrees to wind up in the same bum facing position. This is the ideal position, and often makes for a faster labor. Ideally baby rotates in what is sometimes called the “short arc” meaning they turn 90 degrees so their spine moves to the front of their mother’s body, and their nose looks towards her sacrum. Here’s the turn of the key in the keyhole, and the direction things spin has an immense impact on the course of labor. This means that the baby’s head needs to rotate so the long axis of the head can line up with the opening of the pelvic floor. Where the top of the pelvic bowl was wide side to side, the pelvic floor muscles of the levator ani are open front to back in the pelvis. As the head descends and begins to open the cervix, the baby moves into the middle area of the pelvis, which is governed by the pelvic floor. I think this is the one we are simultaneously the most and the least aware of when it comes to labor. Even a “very large” baby, will usually be able to navigate its mother’s pelvis, if its head flexes into its chest. In my experience as a doula, it is far less about the baby’s size and much more about how flexed in the chin combined with the next cardinal movement that can impact the course of labor. This is a key step because a head with the chin tucked into the chest literally presents a smaller circle to the pelvic bones around it, where a head that is extended- that is with the chin lifted away from the chest- will seem to be larger even though the baby is in fact the same size. This downward pressure helps to flex the baby’s neck more fully, bringing the chin into solid contact with the chest. Once the head is through the inlet of the pelvis the baby is moved further down against the opening cervix by the contractions of the uterine muscle fibers. So the direction with the most space has the baby looking to the side, hopefully with the spine slightly towards the front side of the body because of what happens later in the cardinal movements. This is because the inlet of the pelvic bowl (the circle formed by the pubic bone, illium, and sacral promontory, is wider from side to side than front to back, and the baby’s skull is wider front to back that side to side. The head will often initially engage looking to the right (ideal) or left of the pelvis. For some births this may occur before labor has begun, and for some it will not occur until much later. ![]() ![]() This begins with the baby’s head moving into the upper oval of the lower pelvic bowl. The first thing that must happen for the baby to navigate the birth path is they have to get into it. Rotation (sometimes called internal rotation) Understanding how baby moves within and is guided by the structures of the pelvis can be immensely helpful in learning to work with your own individual labor. Far from being a straight channel, the pelvic birth path is in fact curved from the top to the base, as well as different widths depending on which level of the pelvis the baby is moving through. Called the Cardinal movements, these extensions and rotations help the baby find the best fit to spiral down and out of the body. Similarly, while it might seem like a baby simply slides through its mother’s pelvis to be born in fact the baby makes a series of twists and turns in order to emerge. When we unlock the front door to our homes the key we insert into the lock fits in one specific way, and it must turn at the right time in order to release the tumblers within the lock mechanism and open the door. ![]() ![]() Click this link for examples of professional growth counseling.

Purporting to be an autobiography, Diary of an Oxygen Thief begins with the narrator, an Irish advertising executive living in London, describing the pleasure he used to receive from emotionally abusing women.

I adore you was merely I love you lite, and oh baby was completely meaningless.Diary of an Oxygen Thief is a 2006 Dutch novel, written by Anonymous and published in Amsterdam by NLVI. I toyed with saying You’re lovely, but this just felt childish. She would surely see through it for the manipulation it was and stop what she was doing. I wanted to say I love you, but it was too risky. I stiffened inside her and her body immediately straightened as if we really had become one. The rain persisted outside, and as she leaned back to scratch gently under my balls, I got a perfect view of her small dancer’s breasts, backlit by the amber glow from the desk lamp. She fluttered up and down on me with such delicacy I was reminded of a winged nymph as she effortlessly hovered and dipped. This led to touching and tickling, pecking and pouting, and after she broke away to brush her teeth, turn out the lights, and close her laptop, we progressed to sensual half-lit sex. I felt sufficiently encouraged by that halfhearted smile to spank her gently through her cotton knickers. I hoped that my silence would indicate that I was still open to the possibilities, but it was only a matter of time before something would need to be said. There was no way I was going to marry her, but there was no way I’d be allowed access to her ass if she knew this. I resisted the urge to respond or acknowledge because I knew that once the subject was brought out into the open, it could never be put back in the box. Especially, for some reason, if they were Asian. The huge overacted crazy-eyed smile she reserved for babies was subtle compared to the impossible affection conjured up in the presence of every old couple we encountered. These hints had more recently taken the form of exaggerated street mimes. ![]() She was pissed because I hadn’t picked up on her latest hint that we should live together, get married, have children, and die of old age in each other’s arms. “You’re accusing me of having an affair with your ass, behind your back?” “You hug it like it’s a separate person,” she said, thawing a little. Making an overly dramatic announcement that I had better go if I was to be in decent shape for work the next day, I began to say my good- byes to that magnificent world-class ass. Did she want me to leave? Time to call her bluff. If we didn’t have sex soon I’d be forced to stay the entire night. I had already discovered that working for a bad ad agency required just as much energy as working for a good one, and I had an early start the next day. Ordinarily this would have been enough to get the ball rolling, but I was still not confident enough about making a move. Our evening stroll had been cut short by a rainstorm, so once we got inside we shook off our wet things. I was happy to let the gargoyle in my midriff drag me to within fucking distance of these creatures, but even I couldn’t make myself pretend I wanted babies.īobbing and swaying in front of my face as we ascended the steps to her fourth-floor Elizabeth Street apartment was the real reason we’d been together three years.

Far from being free, the prison had just gotten bigger. Rummaging around inside them looking for what? Had this always been the case even before the drinking?
