cat

all dogs are bottoms pass it on

@s0lar5ail0r llms =/= gen ai

idk heres my hot take. yall are so ready to burn any artist using AI at the stake but when it comes to coding/dev work its like "oh but be nice they dont know how" nah dude. hire a fucking dev. youre infringing on my industry now. coding is accessible. pick up a book. nerd.

@sycawah @NoelFrostpaw oh no some can see all the fursuits in the fursuit catching game instead of just a few oh no abloobloobloobloo

delete your tailtag account Jesus Christ that app is COMPROMISED no backend security or anything holy shit app.notion.com/p/TailTag-Vuln… @NoelFrostpaw

@MarPaws @SnickersSkunk neat thing about being an adult is nobody will ever spoonfeed you

@_traces @SnickersSkunk Expecting every user to audit the code isn't realistic.

@ZayphirWuffs its been public since day 0

@SkylarDarkfox Good to know it’s already public! Hopefully he adds a license

The community reaction to this has gone a little too far imo. Things could’ve been done differently, sure, but this was one person making a free, fun project the community clearly loves, who then owned the mistakes, took it down, and made deleting your account easy. I’d rather support him than pile on. Hoping this becomes a rebuild instead of the end, maybe open sourced so everyone can come together and collaborate to make something truly amazing for the whole community! It’s just too good of an idea to lose

@MarPaws @SnickersSkunk "i refuse to educate myself and its everyone else's fault" ok bro

@_traces @SnickersSkunk Most users aren't going to hundreds of lines of code (I wouldn't). Transparency means important information is easy to find and clearly communicated, not just technically available.

@gabefoxxo actual tailtag playing furries: I hope tailtag gets fixed by my next con its super fun! twitter furries: 🤖😡👺 how tf can I get mad for no reason today

While this post does a good job at mentioning how Finn clearly used AI with a lack of security concerns there also is a bizarre paragraph which basically says furries could've prevented this if they were AI-literate and recognized it was AI so they could help him, which I just don't understand I mean no hate to anyone, but I feel like it is mental gymnastics to apply any blame to anyone except Finn unless they were directly involved with development of the app. There is a very small portion of this community which can aptly recognize a vibecoded app and be able to alleviate all security concerns with it, it's not like everyone is in CS or cybersecurity. The type of 'literacy' you need to solve this issue before something like this happens is more than you would get by just relinquishing your anti-AI viewpoint. I also just don't think it's true that furries couldn't tell it was AI cus the entire frontend looks like it was spit out of Claude but that's less important I agree with the overall point that more people need to educate themselves, and I also think that the hate and disdain towards Finn is too excessive (as it always is with furries). This was a fuckup, but it's not the end of the world. Just this entire point/paragraph irked me and I wanted to talk about it lol. I'm not fully anti-AI and my entire job is coding, I've used AI before (though I am no expert). So this post was not meant to be vehemently anti-AI, I just feel like this article downplays the issues with AI as a whole and somehow randomly assigns blame to furries but idk it might just be worded poorly ok done rambling

@MarPaws @SnickersSkunk all that is completely and immediately visible if you sit down and start reading the source files which are freely available on his repo.

@_traces @SnickersSkunk Open source doesn't automatically mean transparent tho. If you don't clearly disclose how the app was built, what AI was used, or how user data is handled, people shouldn't have to dig through code to find out 🤷‍♂️ imo

@MarPaws @SnickersSkunk literally open source? hows that not transparent? I get that we're furries but cmon

@SnickersSkunk Finn’s biggest mistake wasn’t using AI, it was not being transparent. Honesty could have prevented many problems.

@DatPogDog so light on your feet like you're floating

Speaking of dancing my ass off, here are my prelims and a couple of my favorite rounds from instinct!

@foofyscoop wym a week ive had tailtag since before fwa

Well I like Finn and liked the TailTag app, but I don't trust it when it gets compromised within a week after debut. Deleted it sadly :/

@Canaanchaos @FloppyMinty barq gets hacked or exploited every 2 weeks and nobody cares

@FloppyMinty First Barq and now this; what's going ON with furry apps lately?

⚠️ PSA: If you used TailTag, your email among other metadata has been compromised. The account data of roughly 9,200 users is still publicly accessible without any form of authentication. Watch out for any suspicious emails, especially related to conventions.

@HaagAdainMechka @EclipseDurr bro has zero balenci

@_traces @EclipseDurr just said my own opinion but suddenly I'm that balenciaga guy now alright then 👍

All this fursuit price drama and people complaining about fullsuits costing more than 4k has me kinda laughing. The suit im currently paying for is costing me $13,000... lmao. Fuck it, WE BALL

@HaagAdainMechka @EclipseDurr wrong acc lil bro😭

@_traces @EclipseDurr yeah well the price seems insanely high but if he's doing that on purpose that's just his own business

@crossmutt 8000 ppl and ur worried about running into your ex

this shit a mental trap n that goes for any person u dont wana see regardless who cause 1. ur manifesting it 2. ur focused on ppl u dont wana see the whole time

@protogenonline wtf

🥀

@defend_dingo @FurryChi @SplatFennec what the fleep

@_traces @FurryChi @SplatFennec I hate cats

my anthrocon video is done by the way go watch it! link below #FursuitFriday

@RhapsodyBarks funny how cosplay and comic conventions manage to handle 10x our volume

I remember being able to decide to attend a con literally the monday before the con. Always hotel available, reg open, and could afford tickets that short of notice. Not a complaint just reminiscing of those days.

@BigGayFurryLove ???
