Yeah you can train an ai incredible fast. That doesent mean that its going to be 100% giving you the result you want.I will just add to this that this doesn't take much time these days. I can train a simple CNN based classifier with >99% accuracy and virtually 0% false negative rate in a few minutes on a single workstation. Data prep is a little bit more involved to eliminate biases but it barely counts as a challenge if your main concern is identifying a single class.
Sites have accordingly been using this approach over (or more accurately in combination with) hashes for years. There is an issue with adversarial networks trained to mask images and mess with classification, see the University of Chicago's Nightshade as an example, but that's a whole different ball game.
I think this is a little disingenuous as well, not everybody paid for an animation gallery. The game was originally advertised as something completely different and even now any user that visits the Steam store page certainly isn't going to be expecting a F2P animation viewer from descriptions like this:
There are all sorts of mentions littered about for features they don't have, aren't developing or have removed. It's hardly surprising that there are a lot of salty backers especially combined with the piss poor development and project management standards.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
And Discord is using some kind of ai to detect naughty stuff anyway and it works which one can see when you have your content filter on and cant see or recieve things. That doesent mean that it can 100% pick a legal from a borderline legal to an illegal ai pic off a hald naked woman.
And problem with training an ai for detecting illegal material is that you will have to feed it illegal material to begin with, which is illegal to possess if your not part of the authorities
So no not everyone can just make an ai filter for illegal content as the production of one would incrimminate you.
As for the Content the game promised and what is delivered there are about 3 major components im aware of.
1st group are the users that never wanted project lovecraft but paid for only fallen doll as single player game.
I dont know the promised scope of that game but it probably was a bit better than what was delivered in that last client for that project. So i feel for them but you cant really go back now and i think a big part of that group has come to terms which the new direction or left and wont look back anymore.
And that group isnt really in the pay 27 dollars for the beta group as they never paid for the lovecraft but for the fallen doll game.
2nd group are the ones that came for Gala. This is the group that i have to admit i dont give a shit about as gala will now come to the game as she is signed off on steam terms. Which wont make all of that group happy but noone sane cares about that or them. imo she was helios biggest idiocracy of this project to begin with.
3rd group is the one that wants sfw gameplay.
That can actually happen or not? Who knows at this point?
He said he tried and failed so far to make something good ... that doesent mean that hes not trying again or that he never tried.
And there are as i mentioned a lot of game out there that failed at delivering promises or are still in development with no end in sight.
I personally would be very surprised if that sfw part will make people happy tho if it ever comes into fruition and that is just based on the observation that all people have to base their expections on are some rumors and vague descriptions people can interpreted a lot into it and people always imagine more than what is brought to the table at the end.
And i dont want to defend it as a 100% not scam i wanted to put out that the youtubers 100% proof that he cited in the second vid was just horseshit.
The source was a sore looser that was seeked and gained revenge.
And the youtuber gained some clicks and those vids got a shitton more clicks than anything else hes making, so it worked.
(Edit add: I wouldnt be too suprised if those vids brought actually more people into helios patreon. As in even bad press is press).
I also have to admit that i think i never watched part 3 of that series as i had enough seen by part 2
I give you my 2cents whats going on with this shitshow of a game.
I think it is a given that helios is a bit of a weirdo compared to the general populous to being with for even doing a game like this and as one can see on the lovecraft part for the content of it.
Hes a liar (edit add: imo) and was overselling himself to begin with. The whole AAA industry Dev class shit when all you can find about him is some side project of also some translations or something of some shitgame noone in the west have heard or cared off. Not that all professional are known but he really has some serious dev flaws and i highly doubt you can survive in any company having these for more than 6 months.
Hes definetly not a good programmer and has some serious flaws when it comes to project management and quality/shit being bugfree.
Hes definetly not born to be a community manager or to handle one.
But the Discord wasent his to begin with so that whole thing isnt really his fault or was his problem to handle, or at least it wasent until a few month back. I guess hes now more involved or at least has the key to the Discord and therefor the responsibillity i guess. But im not a 100% on that could still be the original creater of that discord chan that holds the key to that.
He has a proven track record of switching from important dev matters to unimportant ones or of poor decision making in general. Just mention here for good measure some breast milk teasing on discord he did when that would have been the last thing anyone sane would have worked on at that point in time. But i guess he took a page of elons book and is now always seelling the next big thing to keep intrest and hopes up. Or take the whole fiasco of taking the game for a month offline after last years big refactoring/
And there are of course other things like the never to be realised motion capturing that was promised / teased.
You can still find some shitty youtube vid of his he probably produced via some playstation cam hack of some other low effort means as what is shown there seems to be easily achievable at home at low cost and no studio is needed.
AS for development time frames. Well that one is really hard to have a take on as there are quite a lot of factors that goes into that. For one the Skill of the Dev handling the engine and the management, which we have established isnt that great in both parts. So he wastes a lot of time and he does makes a shitton of errors Or at least he has a proven track record of being super sloppy and doesent give a shit what he presents to his customers. That part really is just an insult at times.
I would not tell anyone to buy into this if they cant loose 30 bucks for some drama and fap animations and not being salty about it if nothing else will ever come of this
edit: add so i think its pretty save to say that hes not the most trustworthy dev out there
If something is then a scam or not is at this point in time more of an interpretion of scam and at which point in time you bought into this shitshow and what your expectiotions are.
Same could be said about something like star citizen a project that is also called a scam by a large portion of its commnunity and still loved by the other.
