This One Is More Off Model Than I Typically Do But I'm Not So Upset About It Because This Is The 5th

unrelated to my last post what do you think each sinners dynamic would be in the omegaverse?

Oh. Oh god. And Hong Lu is very often compared to Yang (who heals SP).

Faust talks about “suddenly losing support, ego will collapse” or something like that. The 2 fish doesn’t like being seperate

Your honor they are each other’s mental support and the Jia might try to split them up for their own gain- *screams*

Fan designs for Limbus Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu except it's following my personal extremely deranged and yet surprisingly plausible theory that Hong Lu is the result of Daiyu's body being used to hold Baoyu's consciousness via his eye. He's Both of Them. Two in One.

I’m Declaring War Against “What If” Videos: Project Copy-Knight

What Are “What If” Videos?

These videos follow a common recipe: A narrator, given a fandom (usually anime ones like My Hero Academia and Naruto), explores an alternative timeline where something is different. Maybe the main character has extra powers, maybe a key plot point goes differently. They then go on and make up a whole new story, detailing the conflicts and romance between characters, much like an ordinary fanfic.

Except, they are fanfics. Actual fanfics, pulled off AO3, FFN and Wattpad, given a different title, with random thumbnail and background images added to them, narrated by computer text-to-speech synthesizers.

They are very easy to make: pick a fanfic, copy all the text into a text-to-speech generator, mix the resulting audio file with some generic art from the fandom as the background, give it a snappy title like “What if Deku had the Power of Ten Rings”, photoshop an attention-grabbing thumbnail, dump it onto YouTube and get thousands of views.

In fact, the process is so straightforward and requires so little effort, it’s pretty clear some of these channels have automated pipelines to pump these out en-masse. They don’t bother with asking the fic authors for permission. Sometimes they don’t even bother with putting the fic’s link in the description or crediting the author. These content-farms then monetise these videos, so they get a cut from YouTube’s ads.

In short, an industry has emerged from the systematic copyright theft of fanfiction, for profit.

Project Copy-Knight

Since the adversaries almost certainly have automated systems set up for this, the only realistic countermeasure is with another automated system. Identifying fanfics manually by listening to the videos and searching them up with tags is just too slow and impractical.

And so, I came up with a simple automated pipeline to identify the original authors of “What If” videos.

It would go download these videos, run speech recognition on it, search the text through a database full of AO3 fics, and identify which work it came from. After manual confirmation, the original authors will be notified that their works have been subject to copyright theft, and instructions provided on how to DMCA-strike the channel out of existence.

I built a prototype over the weekend, and it works surprisingly well:

On a randomly-selected YouTube channel (in this case Infinite Paradox Fanfic), the toolchain was able to identify the origin of half of the content. The raw output, after manual verification, turned out to be extremely accurate. The time taken to identify the source of a video was about 5 minutes, most of those were spent running Whisper, and the actual full-text-search query and Levenshtein analysis was less than 5 seconds.

The other videos probably came from fanfiction websites other than AO3, like fanfiction.net or Wattpad. As I do not have access to archives of those websites, I cannot identify the other ones, but they are almost certainly not original.

Armed with this fantastic proof-of-concept, I’m officially declaring war against “What If” videos. The mission statement of Project Copy-Knight will be the elimination of “What If” videos based on the theft of AO3 content on YouTube.

I Need Your Help

I am acutely aware that I cannot accomplish this on my own. There are many moving parts in this system that simply cannot be completely automated – like the selection of YouTube channels to feed into the toolchain, the manual verification step to prevent false-positives being sent to authors, the reaching-out to authors who have comments disabled, etc, etc.

So, if you are interested in helping to defend fanworks, or just want to have a chat or ask about the technical details of the toolchain, please consider joining my Discord server. I could really use your help.

Ya know how you responded to the thing about nothing there in cotl well can you tell me what white night does there (I want to see a meme of it if thats ok)

And might I also inquire what the bishops think of this?

You may have gotten the wrong person somehow pal. I do know both fandoms however, and can try to answer

It’s gonna start by healing and getting itself 12 apostles. I dunno if it’ll be interested in making a cult- to me White Night sounds more interested in liberating everyone from existence. I think the bishops would be very alarmed to say the least, but WN is like “come join me I shall embrace you”.

Cahaya: This year, I won’t be seeing my friend again…

Fang: Quit telling everyone I’m dead!

Cahaya: It’s like I can still hear his voice

Just have a though of this new streaming au .

We have Amato being one of the secret fan , then I think Fang will be in the line of Cahaya's fan too .

Have the image of Fang watching Cahaya's and Daun's streams to see how are they doing or have a secret account just for Cahaya . While during the space training in TAPOPS.

Or

the Fans know about the existence of Fang through Cahaya and they just wonder who is the " Fang " that Cahaya have misses . That a person have never got in front the camera before but always hear him mumbling the name unconsciously .

Something like :

" Sweets ? I don't have any favorite- Oh you mean this carrot donuts ? Um.....It's a old habit . I have a friend who loves to eat this and sometime I'll grab some for him . '

" Why I do this ? Pff- He's a carrot donut lover that he had to eat it everyday , if he don't he will sulk very hard . "

" He's my best friend and he wasn't here , he just go to.....have further achievements far from here ."

" ......I miss him."

"......I miss Fang."

Its like he died but he didnt

Okay, might as well hop onto this! Mostly my personal theories but eh

Express Train to hell represents, or at least has some ties with the Warp Train. W Corp’s actual singularity is restoring anything to its previous state, along with a former Wing’s singularity, access to another plane. This loosely ties in with its SP restore in a way and very much connected to the Abno’s portal hopping, mayhem causing tendencies.

Flesh Idol is very obviously, N Corp. The act of worshiping the flesh is N Corp’s thing. If you read its log, you’ll realize it’s very similar to the dungeon events during Canto 4 in Limbus Company.

Dimensional Refraction Variant might be hinting at “refracting”, the act of using Mirror technology onto a person. I still don’t know what the purpose of this is, but the Ring syndicate really likes it.

Can someone infodump about what the lobotomy corp abno’s signify

I wanna know and don’t care about which you you rant about
