It would not need to be trained on CP. It would just need to know what human bodies can look like and what sex is.

AIs usually try not to allow certain content to be produced, but it seems people are always finding ways to work around those safeguards.

deathbird ,

the AI has to be trained on something first. It has to somehow know what a naked minor looks like. And to do that, well... You need to feed it CSAM.

First of all, not every image of a naked child is CSAM. This is actually been kind of a problem with automated CSAM detection systems triggering false positives on non-sexual images, and getting innocent people into trouble.

But also, AI systems can blend multiple elements together. They don't need CSAM training material to create CSAM, just the individual elements crafted into a prompt sufficient to create the image while avoiding any safeguards.

deathbird ,

There are probably safeguards in place to prevent the creation of CSAM, just like there are for other illegal and offensive things, but determined people work around them.

deathbird ,

Actually agree, generally.

Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme basically, but it's not the only block chain in town.

Anonymous peer-to-peer financial exchanges can actually be good.

Cooperative ledgers can be good.

Public ledgers can be good.

It's not a brilliant new idea, it's a good old one. Jitneys are back baby!

deathbird ,

I'm sure grit + wealth is far better than either alone. It's really probably grit + wealth + connections + luck.

deathbird ,

Xavier, Renegade Angel, biblically accurate?
Maybe.

deathbird ,

Also mind that soon these new cars will be used cars with the same bullshit.

deathbird ,

Or at this point, the one whose tracking is easiest and safest to avoid or circumvent.

deathbird ,

Isn't the old bit about organized crime how they always have a second set of books? After all they do want to be able to track their finances.

deathbird ,

Yeah.
No one ever gave me AdSense dollars for nearly busting my fucking head.

deathbird ,

I'd like credit scores systems to be fully public and developed by the government. It would be far better than the three private systems Americans deal with now.

Gab is for the fringiest of the right wing. And people often cluster disparate ideas together if they're all considered to be markers of membership within their "tribe".

Leftists, or at least those on the left wing of liberalism, tend to do this as well, particularly on social and cultural issues.

I think part of it is also a matter of not so much what people believe as what they will tolerate. The vaccine skeptic isn't going to tolerate an AI bot that tells him vaccines work, but maybe generally oblivious to the Holocaust and thus really not notice or care if and when an AI bot misleads on it. Meanwhile a Holocaust denier might be indifferent about vaccines, but his Holocaust denialism serves as a key pillar of an overall bigoted worldview that he is unwilling to have challenged by an AI bot.

deathbird ,

They'll tolerate arguments over precise economic policies that amount to discussing how many angels could dance on the head of a pin, but hold far tighter to what amount to cultural arguments. "USA bad" means "Russia good" because Russia is against USA so if Russia does bad then it's good actually or else no it didn't happen.

My experience with LG/WebOS has been fine if I don't try to get online. It doesn't pester me to do so.

deathbird ,

To be fair, TVs from the 90s didn't have apps, and I don't actually use the apps on my LG, so it seems fine.

deathbird ,

Why yes, cancelling, shunning, etc is bad.

deathbird ,

Wasn't that AI generated?

deathbird ,

Generations are (mostly) made up. So of course they're going to shift around a bit while we all try to figure out what major world event or collective experience defines a particular cohort.

deathbird ,

Yeah, give kids easy to use pocket computers to access social media curated by algorithms designed to increase anxiety/engagement and "games" that are single-player gambling simulations, all of which harvests their data just to better learn how to manipulate them, and wonder why kids feel anxious, isolated, or depressed.

This hurts the over-25s too, just to lesser degrees because their brains are fully developed.

deathbird ,

I would prefer RSS.

deathbird ,

And that's fine, but why do gamers use it over any other VoIP option? And why the infinity chat channels over infinity servers?

deathbird ,

I miss pidgin so much. I tried to use it the other day with Discord and it was terrible. So God-awful.

Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’ (www.vice.com)

Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’::The New Zealand-based seller issued a notice to its Australian customers that shipments will continue regardless of the government's vape reform.

I seem to recall it being connected to Vitamin E oil being used as an adjunct.

AI-generated content and other unfavorable practices have put longtime staple CNET on Wikipedia's blacklisted sources (www.tomshardware.com)

In the wave of AI controversies and lawsuits, CNET has been publicly admonished since it first started posting thinly-veiled AI-generated content on its site in late 2022— a scandal that has culminated in the site being demoted from Trusted to Untrusted Sources on Wikipedia....

deathbird ,

Oh that explains a bit. Who's decent these days?

deathbird ,

It's not. Which makes this a particularly powerful indictment of a once-reputable mainstream news site.

deathbird ,

Wikipedia is aweful for anything controversial, of which geopolitics is merely a good example.

Probably fine for basic stuff like geology or the Napoleonic Wars or whatever.

deathbird ,

Only in a social context where "liberal" just means "polite".

Google apologizes for ‘missing the mark’ after Gemini generated racially diverse Nazis (www.theverge.com)

Google apologizes for ‘missing the mark’ after Gemini generated racially diverse Nazis::Google says it’s aware of historically inaccurate results for its Gemini AI image generator, following criticism that it depicted historically white groups as people of color.

deathbird ,

It's just the name of a racial category. There are no black people either.

deathbird ,

Yeah that's not good.

deathbird ,

Oh.
Oh no.
This is so wrong.

deathbird ,

Maybe folks are gonna start learning that just because they made content for a service, doesn't mean that they control it.

deathbird ,

The thesis from my skim pf the article was just that Netflix is shifting from weird/experimental award bait to the sort of normie stuff you'd see on TNT, USA, or other mainstream/non-niche basic cable.

With Suits being a quintessential example of such a turn.

deathbird ,

I guess you'd start with a dupe check or pre db site to see what known Denuvo games have a cracked version, and when it came out. Example: https://predb.me/

deathbird ,

xfce: what should it stand for?

deathbird ,

Spice extends life, but I'm not seeing the eyes of ibad here.

deathbird ,

all of the ideas on how to make that work

Tbf, that seems like it would depend on the flavor of anarchism.
