These heavy-handed restrictions on speech are positively medireview!
Confused Google "medireview. Erroneous, computer-generated form of medieval." Enlightened facepalm
Other similar cases I'm aware of. * The Scunthorpe problem, AOL didn't let users set their hometown to Scunthorpe because of the "cunt" substring. This is a classic. * Amazon banning sales of Guns N' Roses merch (because guns). * People named Miranda having issues with bank transfers (because of the substring "Iran"). * Some games displaying the nickname "Nasser" as "N* er", suggesting that it is the n word. Alexa no…
> * Some games displaying the nickname "Nasser" as "N*er", suggesting that it is the n word. This actually looks like it removes "ass" and not related to n-word? Nevertheless, rather assumptious! Edit: Oh I misread the post. The new name is even worse... That is rather hilarious and sad at the same time :/

Searching for Kinky Kids, a Japanese boy band since 2000s, would trigger a warning about sexualization of children.
To be fair, the band is KinKi Kids, with an "I". If you insist on searching for "kinky kids" (using quotes) you will find stuff that is closer to what the filter warns you about, still SFW though.
Turn out it is the correct spell that triggers the warning

But why is it not in Meta's interest to have a human take a quick look at this? Or ask the user to pay for a human review? How much can it cost, in human time? $20?
They don't have enough human moderators to be able to handle it, and they don't want to hire more. You can't hire a moderator just for an hour - you'd have to recruit them, train them, continuously employ them, manage them, provide them benefits, etc. - it'd make an amortized per-review cost likely way higher than $20.

"How to use the innards of Python and Pandas"? "If you find yourself fighting with Python and Pandas, I'll help you improve your technique"? "Using Python and Pandas in the wild"? "10 unexpected uses for Python and Pandas in the food and apparel industries"? "Breaking all the rules for Python imports"? "How to replace your whole ecosystem with just Python and Pandas"? "Put Python to work on the family farm"?
I asked GPT-4: There's a book called "Using Python and Pandas in the wild". What do you think it's about? "Using Python and Pandas in the wild" likely refers to the application of the Python programming language and the Pandas library in real-world scenarios or practical use cases.
Prompt:
> The newly-released book "Using Python and Pandas in the wild" discusses
Response:
> the application of Python and Pandas for data analysis, cleaning, and transformation. It focuses on the fundamentals of Pandas, how to use it to explore and manipulate data, and offer guidance for more advanced topics, such as building data visualizations and machine learning models. Readers will also get an overview of the best practices for working with time-series data, unsupervised learning, and natural language processing. The book is designed to be a comprehensive resource for anyone who wants to learn how to use Python and Pandas for data analysis.
AIs and other opaque processes making decisions are incredibly frustrating. I'm still wondering why my tea-of-the-month business [0] got turned down by Stripe when I incorporated an LLC (technically a Godo Kaisha, as it is incorporated in Japan). It came as a surprise as it was perfectly fine by them for as long as it was a sole proprietorship. Which is why I strongly suspect the rejection came from an AI. At the tim…
My company can't use Stripe to collect payments for our Continuing Medical Education conferences because, as a psychiatry company, we offer in-office-only esketamine therapy to a small subset of patients. No amount of explaining that we do not SELL eskatamine or ANY pharmaceuticals seems to get through to the supposed humans I've talked to at stripe. Nowhere in anything we publish including the website says we sell a…
On an extremely fundamental level, people give you money and you give them drugs. The fact you only administer the drugs in your office doesn't change the basic premise.
I don't know your specifics, such as if the patient's money goes straight to a pharmacy to pay for the drugs which are then shipped to you for in-office administration (which would probably impossible to explain anyway). However, even if that's the case people are still giving you money (for appointments, treatment, etc.) and ending up with drugs in their body.
You'd likely have to split the medical CE conferences off from your practice and run it as a seperate entity before Stripe would be willing to take payment.
Wow, this is incredibly stupid (on Meta's part). Way to shoot yourself in the foot. Is it just me, or does it seem like Facebook/Meta has always been much dumber about how to actually run a business than other big tech companies? I think they just got where they are because they filled a void with Facebook and took advantage of network effects. Nothing they've ever done has really seemed all that "good" to me overall…
I uninstalled the Facebook app, because it literally makes me depressed. Messenger stopped working. I wasn't able to log in on Messenger (it just kept cycling around the same 3 login pages). I had to reinstall Facebook to get it working. So, either: 1. Facebook developers are so shit at their job that they can't build and test a simple login page that works. or 2. Facebook uses dark UI patterns to keep people using i…
I seriously wonder what the Messenger app is doing. It's far larger than Messenger Lite was (way more than double), yet it's essentially the same thing: a chat app with video and voice chat. The full-blown app also adds Dark Mode (the only improvement I've found), and some silly sticker crap. So WTF else is going on in that app to need all that storage space?
Similar story: I had an old account locked and I wanted to delete it. They asked me security questions about random Facebook friends to verify my identity, and I had no idea who they were. So I sent in my driver's license photo, which was rejected for an unknown reason.. and around and around it went. I ended up finding a random Facebook corporate email address online and I just kept spamming it in hopes that a human…
One time my instagram account was suspended for suspicious bot-like activity. submitted all the appeal forms, sent them photos of my drivers license, sent them a photo of my face with a custom handwritten note held next to it (which they literally asked for), but no response. Ended up making a facebook business page and running an ad to get access to FB business support. They were the ones who finally helped me get u…
