LOS ANGELES — Wicked Pictures has wrapped production on erotic paranormal thriller “Hysteria,” the directorial comeback for Stormy Daniels.

Headlined by Aiden Ashey, the cast also includes Casey Calvert, Anna Claire Clouds, Ryan Driller, Seth Gamble and Charly Summer, among others.

“I have to admit I was nervous. It’s been four years since I last directed a feature,” Daniels said. “So I went into this thinking, ‘I’ll ease myself in with a little two-day shoot.’ But once I was reunited with my crew, it was like we hadn’t missed a beat. I have the best crew; they are all incredibly gifted. As shooting progressed, we began adding more creative elements to the production. In true Stormy Daniels fashion, I found myself doing everything the hard way!”

Daniels also pulled in collaborators from her mainstream paranormal investigation series, “Spooky Babes.”

“Our theme song is the original track ‘Hysteria’ by Deadsled Funeral Co. which is fronted by my ‘Spooky Babes’ costar Justin Loupe. He also knocked it out of the park as my special FX makeup artist by transforming Anna Claire into the scariest sexy monster I’ve seen.”

“I was excited to work with some of the new talent,” Daniels continued. “Which is why my cast is a blend of newer stars and veterans. Seth, of course, needs no introduction; he’s the best male actor in the industry, and I knew I wanted to work with Aiden again. She was brilliant and 100% authentic. And Anna Claire is, seriously, my favorite new actress. My crew had some new members as well, including the amazing James Avalon, with whom I’d never worked despite all my years in the business. It was a wonderful experience and his camerawork looks terrific.”

“Hysteria” follows the story of Anna (Ashley), an accomplished author, and Christine (Clouds), an artist. On the surface, noted a rep, this loving couple’s marriage appears to be harmonious and beautiful. But beneath this veneer of domestic bliss lurks an undercurrent of mistrust that threatens to consume their relationship.

“For Anna, the pressure to deliver a new book to her publisher is compounded by the roadblocks she’s encountering on her writing journey,” the rep said. “Is her writer’s block due to external factors like her disagreements with her supportive-yet-demanding literary agent Vicki (Calvert)? Or is her creative lull a manifestation of internal conflicts, self-doubt and creative exhaustion? Or is the root cause something more otherworldly? Do the strange sounds she hears late at night have a rational explanation or are they cryptic messages from the other side?”

Wicked Head of Production Axel Braun described Daniels as “so creative and such a consummate professional.”

“There was no doubt in my mind that she would turn in a great feature,” he said. “She runs a tight ship and always treats her cast and crew with the utmost respect, which is why they are more than happy to give 110% to her projects. The atmosphere on the ‘Hysteria’ set was really amazing, everybody was just elated to have her back and did their best to help her fulfill her vision for this awesome movie.”

“As she’s proved over and over again, Stormy is an inspired writer, a massively talented director and literally a force to be reckoned with,” he added. “I am just immensely proud of her and thrilled to have her back where she belongs, with the Wicked family.”

PARIS — Tiffany Tatum and Shalina Devine topline director Franck Vicomte’s “Girls at Work: The Associates.”

The glamcore release also stars Jimmy Bud, Kristof Cale, Raul Costa, Alba Lala and Kaisa Nord.

“Like Vicomte’s first two efforts in the ‘Girls At Work’ franchise — ‘The Agency’ and ‘Clea, The New Boss’ — ‘The Associates’ follows two ambitious women, in this case architects Tiffany and Shalina, who battle against conventional standards and refuse to compromise their vision,” a rep said. “Both architects are recognized as leaders in their field; Tiffany is championed by those who value innovation and practicality in design; Shalina is respected for her ability to imitate classical architectural styles.”

“The duo’s work ethic has transformed their small, two-woman firm into one of the largest architectural agencies in the country, and the ladies’ success has enabled them to secure a most prestigious new assignment — designing a palatial dream home for wealthy patrons and well-known swingers Kristof and Kaisa,” the rep added.

“Between the initial schematic designs and the final construction, Tiffany and Shalina remain unyielding and unwavering in their commitment to seeing their architectural visions fulfilled. Luckily for their new clients, this includes making their private dreams come true as well,” noted the rep. “From an elegantly shot all-girl encounter showcasing Tiffany and Kaisa to a marathon fourway featuring Kaisa, Shalina, Tiffany and Kristof, ‘The Associates’ delivers hardcore sex with the same energy, realism, and passion found in the best of Vicomte’s work.”

Daniel Metcalf, U.S.-based publicist for the studio, noted “Girls at Work” is “one of the newest and most unusual franchises in the Dorcel canon, and Vicomte is using it to create an ongoing narrative that rigorously adheres to the Dorcel mandate of pleasure for all.”

“What makes ‘The Associates’ so intriguing is it inverts the gender-essentialism that still permeates much adult entertainment,” observed Metcalf. “Granted, most don’t associate the world of architecture with eroticism, but one of the reasons Vicomte is so successful at effectively communicating Dorcel’s philosophy of ethics is because the philosophical proselytizing is woven into the drama. And, after all, what’s drama without sex?”

WASHINGTON — The Washington Post published a lengthy report today highlighting the hypocrisy of algorithm censorship, which forces sex workers and other to develop “Algospeak,” nonsensical euphemisms to refer to banned words and concepts.

“To avoid angering the almighty algorithm, people are creating a new vocabulary,” the Post subheaded the story, titled “Internet ‘Algospeak’ Is Changing Our Language in Real Time, From ‘Nip Nops’ to ‘Le Dollar Bean’”

“Algospeak,” as defined by the paper’s top internet trends reporter, Taylor Lorenz, refers to “code words or turns of phrase users have adopted in an effort to create a brand-safe lexicon that will avoid getting their posts removed or down-ranked by content moderation systems.”

“For instance, in many online videos, it’s common to say ‘unalive’ rather than ‘dead,’ ‘SA’ instead of ‘sexual assault,’ or ‘spicy eggplant’ instead of ‘vibrator.’”

Algospeak is “becoming increasingly common across the internet as people seek to bypass content moderation filters on social media platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Twitch,” Lorenz noted.

And chief among those discriminated against by the almighty algorithm are sex workers, the LGBTQ community and sex educators.

Sex workers, “who have long been censored by moderation systems, refer to themselves on TikTok as ‘accountants’ and use the corn emoji as a substitute for the word ‘porn.’”

Lorenz brought up the LGBTQ YouTube creators who spoke about having videos demonetized in 2017 for saying the word “gay.”

“Some began using the word less or substituting others to keep their content monetized,” she wrote. “More recently, users on TikTok have started to say ‘cornucopia’ rather than ‘homophobia,’ or say they’re members of the ‘leg booty’ community to signify that they’re LGBTQ.”

Issues about women’s health, pregnancy and menstrual cycles on TikTok “are also consistently down-ranked,” according to sex educator and entrepreneur Kathryn Cross.

“She replaces the words for ‘sex,’ ‘period’ and ‘vagina’ with other words or spells them with symbols in the captions. Many users say ‘nip nops’ rather than ‘nipples.’”

“It makes me feel like I need a disclaimer because I feel like it makes you seem unprofessional to have these weirdly spelled words in your captions,” Cross told Lorenz, “especially for content that’s supposed to be serious and medically inclined.”

DÜSSELDORF, Germany — The local official crusading for Germany to hide all sexual content behind an age verification wall unveiled this week an AI tool called KIVI that automatically scans all online content to determine which images are not compliant.

Tobias Schmid, director of the State Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia, and one-man War on Porn, gave a press conference yesterday boasting of the surveillance innovation and claimed he had coined the name KIVI after “KI” (the German initials for AI) and “VI” from the Latin word “vigilare” (“to survey”).

Schmid called this authoritarian fantasy come to life a “fantastic combination,” German tech news site NetzPolitik.org reported yesterday.

NetzPolitik reporter Sebastian Meineck, who has been covering Schmid’s meticulous, obsessive attempts to ban all sexual content from open platforms in Germany and Europe wrote that “pornography” is one of the clearest targets of the local bureaucrat’s new surveillance engine.

Schmid included the category among others like “extremism, hate speech, swastikas or the glorification of drugs” as topics that his “most modern” KIVI, which he has already expanded nationwide, has been trained to detect.

KIVI was developed by Berlin-based Condat under Schmid’s supervision and is now reportedly being used by all 14 state media authorities in Germany.

KIVI is currently surveying images, texts and videos on all websites, as well as apps like “Telegram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, the Russian Facebook competitor VKontakte and the video portal Bitchute,” NetzPolitik reported.

“KIVI recognized 20,000 potential violations within a year,” the report continued. “The violations are then checked by humans [employed and selected by Schmid] using a ticket system. According to the NRW Media Authority, there are around eight student assistants and seven lawyers. After sorting out erroneous hits, 6,700 violations remained. Some KIVI hits lead to reports on the platforms, and others also to criminal charges.”

Media supervisor Schmid has described the cooperation with the State Criminal Police Office of North Rhine-Westphalia as “very good.”

In general, NetzPolitik’s Meineck points out, “artificial intelligence often adopts biases, prejudices and biases in their training data,” although Schmid claimed with characteristic determination that the AI tool is “neutral” and “so wonderfully uncorrupt.”

The regulator also explained that KIVI presents blurry images in a small preview window at first and employees manually have to guess if they are “violence or pornography” by using a slider to sharpen the image.

“I am pretty sure that we will gradually get the mass of cases under control,” Schmid concluded.
