I used to think this way until someone on lemmy told me it wasn’t the case. Those donations are nontaxable - it goes directly to those charities.
Bullshit. Lost for a month? Not happening. I’d love to read an article about this totally not made up story.
Why are you guys pre-ordering. That behavior enables this type of greed. Promise me you won’t pre-order a game ever again, okay? I don’t care how cool that cheap plastic toy and paper map stuffed in a tin can looks. No more!
Super hero movies are literally for children. I think they’re dumb but I’m also old as fuck.
Saw a post saying it’s probably the “hide name” setting being active on launch after the update. Any idea how to disable this without having to manually reconfigure my older settings?
Settings shortcut: Security > Hide username in account picker
Edit: apparently that same post has a work around within lol. Please excuse me, I’m a few drinks deep.
But it highlights the reality - while AI generated content may be considered fairly obvious for now, it won’t be forever. Real CSAM could be mixed in at some point, or, hell, the characters generating it could be feeding it real CSAM to have it recreate it in a manner that makes it harder to detect.
Very true and I would like to look into it further. Being able to disguise real content with an AI label could make things harder for people that detect and report these types of issues.
So what does this mean for hosting providers? We continuously receive reports for a client and each time we have to review it and what, use our best judgement to decide if it’s AI generated? We add the client to a list and ignore CSAM reports for them? We have to tell the government that it’s not “real CSAM” and expect it to end there?
I don’t understand the logic behind this. If it’s your job to analyze and deduce whether certain content is or is not acceptable, why shouldn’t you make assessments on a case by case basis? Even if you remove CSAM from the equation you still have to continuously sift through content and report any and all illegal activities - regardless of its frequency.
No legitimate hosting provider is going to knowingly host CSAM, AI generated or not. We aren’t going to invest legal resources into defending that, nor are we going to jeopardize the mental well-being of our staff by increasing the frequency of those reports.
And it’s the right of any website or hosting provider to not show any content they deem unsuitable for it’s viewers. But this is a non sequitur - illegal activities will never stop and it’s the duty of people like you to help and combat the distribution of such materials. I appreciate all the work people like you do and it’s a job I couldn’t handle. CP exists and will continue to exist. It’s just an ugly truth. I’m just asking a very uncomfortable question that will hopefully result in a very positive answer: can AI generated CP reduce the harm done to children?
Here’s a very interesting article of the potential positive effects of AI generated CP
Btw I appreciate your input in all of this. It means a lot coming from someone actually involved with this sort of thing.
Edit: and to your point, the article ends with a very real warning:
"Of course, using AI-generated images as a form of rehabilitation, alongside existing forms of therapy and treatment, is not the same as allowing its unbridled proliferation on the web.
“There’s a world of difference between the potential use of this content in controlled psychiatric settings versus what we’re describing here, which is just, anybody can access these tools to create anything that they want in any setting,” said Portnoff, from Thorn."
Can I ask why AI generated media is considered CSAM if there are no victims? I don’t like furry porn but it’s not beastiality. I don’t like loli shit but it’s not CP (well technically it is but it’s not real kids is my point). How is it any different?
Is it gross? Obviously, but I’m biased as I don’t like kiddie shit but no one is getting hurt and if it helps reduce sexual abuse cases against kids, why wouldn’t you be in favor of it?
I don’t understand how this is unreasonable. If AI generated CP increased the stats of kids being harmed then I’d be vehemently opposed. I know it’s a touchy subject but you can’t just write it off if it works for the greater good, no?
Funny how just bringing up a solution that, although uncomfortable, reduces the cases of sexual abuse against kids without any victims gets you branded as a pedo.
I just want kids to stop getting abused lol
Did you make that for me?
I’m actually flattered! 😂
No one is butthurt. I have no interest in CP (thank fucking god) but if it means people get their rocks off at home without *hurting any kids then I’m all for it.
What’s interesting is you have a strong disdain for fake porn but no real argument against it other than “heeeyuck kiddy porn bad aaahheeeyuuck”. 😂
Edit: no real arguments and just downvotes? Seems like a typical facts vs feelings argument ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Why’s that? There are no children being hurt.
Super hot and spicy take incoming: AI will be able to make very realistic child porn and we might actually see huge drop in sexual child abuse.
I hate to even type that sentence, btw.
I don’t think I have it in me to explain how dumb you are. I’m actually physically drained from reading your comment. Are you happy?
Can’t you see he’s wasting away and his paw is broken?! Poor little guy.
