I carry the flame.
Remember the movie 'Zoolander' from 2001 with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson? Zoolander is like really shallow and vain and only cares about 'male modeling'. Clavicular is Zoolander but real, even both names are equally silly.
There's this internet trend called looks 'looksmaxxing'. They invented a metric to judge appearance called the 'PSL Score'. This community developed out of like incel culture, 'pick up artistry' ie misogynistic dating advice, and body building forums.
So Clavicular is this guy who is 21 years old and started taking testosterone steroids at the age of 14. He spends all day focusing on perfecting his physical appearance with unhealthy beauty treatments. He does meth for appetite suppressant. He's done steroids and hormone blockers. He promotes sketchy DIY face injections.
Clavicular is maybe most well known for saying that hitting yourself in the face with a hammer will improve your jaw structure. He calls the process 'bonesmashing'.
He hangs out with far right wing streamers to promote gambling. Clavicular regularly films himself trying to impress girls that he meets in public. He participates in petty beauty competitions that he calls "mogging", which is an acronym that stands for "alpha Male Of the Group". He talks to other dudes and says like "i mog you", etc.
He had a rivalry with this other influencer named the 'ASU frat leader'. As far as I'm aware, 'ASU frat leader' does not attend ASU or participate in any fraternity. There was a viral meme this year which said 'Clavicular got brutally frame mogged by ASU frat leader ' because it was tweeted by the a Clavicular fan account and it sounds like an absurd sentence. The sentence is basically supposed to mean that ASU frat leader has a more muscular body than Clavicular. ASU Frat Leader is basically the Owen Wilson character of the Clavicular universe.
It is also rumored that Clavicular is secretly funded by Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel is one of the cofounders of paypal, Epstein affiliate, has connections within the Trump administration, close with Elon Musk, co-founded a surveillance company called Palantir. Peter Thiel has been a funder of JD Vance since 2011. Peter Thiel probably also does meth.
Zoolander spoiler
In the movie, Zoolander is brainwashed into being a sleeper agent programmed to assassinate the prime minister of Malaysia, who wants to ban child labor in the country. The brainwashing is by fashion executives. The movie says that Abraham Lincoln and JFK were also assassinated by the fashion industry for having progressive policies. The joke is that the fashion industry secretly controls the world.
This is kind of similar to being groomed into being a blood boy for Peter Thiel.
I think Clavicular's unhealthy lifestyle habits makes him fascinating to many people. He's been interviewed by mainstream news outlets like CBS. Even SNL has made skits mocking him.

here's instruction on how to opt out, by the SAG-AFTRA actors union.

If you want to avoid these AI generations of your Instagram posts without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.
Creating a punitive system rather than a preventative system is in itself reactionary thinking and anti-materialist. "We need Blade Runners." is cop brain. It's like pretending that you're The Punisher and wearing Punisher Skull.
What would be more helpful is forming a team that teaches people how to post correctly. There's not really anything that teaches people how to make posts and the rules have often been poorly documented.
Let's look at a real world example of punitive thinking vs preventative thinking. Low income areas have higher rates of youth crime. Reactionaries will say something like that low income areas have more crime because low income people are just worse. Punitive thinking would say that this problem would be solved by having harsher punishments for children, maybe even trying them as an adult, because reactionaries believe that harsh punishments will deter crime.
Let's look at the same situation with preventative thinking. If children in low income areas are given more life opportunities like free meals, afterschool programs, and access to higher education, then they are less likely to do crimes. If some teen is playing sports with a coach after school, then they will be less inclined to be shoplifting beers from the corner store.
If you don't want people to make bad posts, then you should teach people how to make good posts. There should be places where people discuss the best posting methods and can ask for tips on how to post.
I think we should do your proposal because it would ultimately cause a massive amount of drama and hexbear hasn't had a moderation struggle session lately. It'll be like when hexbear renamed the_dunk_dank for the 4th time. Honestly it's a very very bad idea and hexbear should do it because of that. It's part of the hexbear character, making up moderation rules that don't exist on any other website and enforcing those rules haphazardly.
Requiring all AI images to be removed from the website would create a mechanism for any post to be removed on a whim if accused of being AI. The chance of false positives is too high.
In 1997, IBM Deep Blue was the first computer to defeat a world chess champion at chess. The modern chess engine called 'Stockfish' is virtually unbeatable by any human, since like 2014. This same principle applies to AI image generation. 2 years ago, it was very easy to spot an AI generated image. 2 years from now, it will be virtually impossible, if not already.
Hexbear already has rule 13 which prevents spreading misinformation. Any AI image which spreads misinformation can already be removed by that rule.
There are also many instances where it could be important to post an AI image. For example, Trump posts AI images on truthsocial all day, every day. What if Trump posts an image of an explosion in Iran and says "This is a photo of the US bombing Iran". Is hexbear not allowed to document the President of the imperial core using fake images to promote endless killing? This is not a hypothetical. This is something that Trump has done many times before. Trump posted AI images of the Iran women's soccer team and said that Iran would kill the women for not singing Iran's national anthem.
Forming an AI detection taskforce is an absurd proposition. Can you name a single website in the history of the internet which has created an AI image detection team? It doesn't exist because it is irrational. It would be less irrational for hexbear to ban all image posts than it would be for hexbear to try to determine which images are AI. At least if hexbear banned all images, then it would be consistent and not based on misinformed guessing.
It would be more reasonable to require that non-OC images include a link to the original source of that image and then determine whether then say whether the source is a credible source or a non-credible source.
The primary purpose of hexbear should be documenting real things that happen. If a powerful figure purports an AI generated image to be real, that should be documented. Hexbear is a link aggregator website. The website is written to collect URLs of other websites. Reddit didn't even allow image uploading until like over 10 years after it was formed.
This parasite gives you diarrhea for weeks, maybe up to a month. Taco Bell does not make people have diarrhea for a month.
Many of the comments in this thread seem to be downplaying the severity of this illness spreading. Read the article. It's not about getting sick 1 time from eating Taco Bell. We get it, you're better at eating Taco Bell than other people. You have the value menu committed to memory. You're best to have ever done it. You are the taco bell champion.
The illness (cyclospora cayetanensis) makes you have watery diarrhea all day for a month. Has taco bell on its own ever made any person have watery diarrhea for a month. This spread of this illness is not limited to Taco Bell. It is being spread by unknown contaminated vegetables. The CDC is unable to find the source because probably it was gutted by DOGE. You could get it from elsewhere than Taco Bell. You do not want to have diarrhea for a month.
Choosing to visit the Zionist entity on the same week that they greatly escalate their forever war with Iran, seems dangerous. Clavicular is in Tel Aviv. It is suspected that Israel conducted strikes on Iran today. This would mean that Iran is inclined to strike Tel Aviv.
As far as I'm aware, Clavicular does meth, not crack. He's the reverse of Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden smokes crack and not meth. Clavicular does meth.
Axios is reporting that the US is preparing to attack Iran for multiple weeks. The Axios reporter Barak Ravid served as a member of IOF unit 8200, Israel's equivalent of the US NSA. Barak Ravid speaks directly to White House officials and has sometimes been the first to report information provided by US government and Israeli government. He's a parrot of the White House.

The White House is preparing for what could become a round of fighting with Iran around the Strait of Hormuz, which will last for several days and perhaps even a few weeks. The duration of the new campaign and its intensity will be completely dependent on Tehran's next steps, U.S. officials told me

The White House is preparing for what could become a multi-day or even multi-week exchange of fire with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.
The length and severity of the new campaign hinge entirely on Tehran's next moves, U.S. officials tell Axios.
A U.S. official said the current escalation could last a day or two, a week or a month, depending on whether Iran continues its attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
"We're going to slap them a bit so they understand we're not f*cking around," the U.S. official said.
U.S. officials say the White House believes it has more room to escalate because hundreds of oil tankers have managed to leave the Gulf through the strait in recent weeks.
That has eased concerns inside the administration that a renewed clash would immediately trigger a major oil price spike, the officials said.
A U.S. official claimed the current escalation stems from frustration among more radical elements inside Iran's fractured leadership who believe the MOU has not delivered real benefits for Tehran.
Iran saw its leverage in Hormuz slipping as hundreds of ships transited through the southern route close to the Omani coast, the official said.
No Iranian frozen funds have been released because Iran has not yet taken nuclear steps required by the agreement.
The framework agreement the U.S. brokered between Israel and Lebanon made the Lebanon portion of the MOU unnecessary, the official said.
"Part of the Iranian leadership was not happy about all of those things," the U.S. official said.
"They started shooting and we decided it's time to slap them back hard. It's a process. We have patience. If we don't feel we're getting the deal we want, we are not going to do it."
Here's the resignation video. It's 11 minutes long. He's still denying any wrongdoing. He says that he's suspending the campaign at 7 minutes into the video. He claims that he's resigning because the Democrat Establishment won't let him win and not because of the allegations. It reminds me of the Trumpism: "They're not coming after me. They're coming after you and I'm just standing in their way".

rule 13 says that posts containing misinformation have to be clearly labeled as misinformation.
