Not necessarily. I’m only speculating, which I don’t relish, but I imagine the service isn’t explicitly designed with CSAM as the intended result – if I’m reading it right, it’s billed as “upload picture of clothed person X and received ‘naked’ picture of same person”, and is almost certainly trained on appropriately-aged pornographic material.
I don’t know the inner workings of technology like this, and I certainly don’t intend to critique the images talked about in this article, but the resulting picture doesn’t have to be an accurate representation of a minor’s body to be distressing to the people involved.
I've said for the longest time, the world needs wiping. A hard reset.
Technology comes to the masses and shit like this is some people's first thought? Constantly figuring out how to better kill each other, humiliate, bully. It blows my mind, even at the old old age of 34 how utterly deprived people can be.
Tell a family member you love them today, give them a hug - create your own net positive.
This is the more reasonable and realistic approach, I'm just not even sure how that'd come about. Although I feel education is an important factor from a young age on the do's and don'ts - tools? Maybe need to be developed that somehow doesn't intrude on the right to privacy.
It's concerning, after reading this this morning then speaking to some of the lads about it, me Mrs - even with me Mum when I was out for a walk with her.. It's leaving people feel hella vulnerable. Nothing to stop anyone right now taking a pic of any one us and slapping it on some weird shit, some incriminating shit, racial hatred shit. Anything.
I admire your positive thinking, but it may also provide plausible deniability for legitimate CSAM, by your own logic. Either way, I see this being used to bully, blackmail, or worse. It’s not that we are going to stop AI development, nor that we should. Perhaps as it improves (remember, right now it’s the worst it will ever be), we can teach AI to recognize when it may be used for purposes like creating realistic CSAM or other such material, and have it log or report such uses.
I honestly don’t know the solution, but I don’t see the world ever getting “ho-hum, it’s all fake anyway” about minor involved pornography.
it will do neither. i generated pictures can usually be identified by eye alone, and some companies are starting to add an invisible watermark to their output
You guys are working with the idea that companies and organizations will be creating these AI tools. They will be bound by laws but random people of groups of people will not. It will only get worse.
Methinks you might want to give it space to breathe from the child porn scandal before you attempt a positive spin on truth becoming irrelevant in the future.
But the overall impact of not being able to trust any image will not be positive. We already have widespread distrust of everything in the media that leads to people forming cults around their beliefs and strong personalities that are immune to facts. That will only get worse as photos and videos can no longer be trusted as evidence of anything real.
Poor little tankie, trying to lash out. Maybe you should take out your frustration by going to the front line of the Ukraine invasion. You’ll actually increase the average IQ of the world when your brains are splattered in a ditch.
Putin invaded Ukraine by himself, and the rest of the civilized world is against it. Not really a surprise that the US is also against Russia’s constant land grabs.
Putin invaded Ukraine by himself, and the rest of the civilized world is against it.
You sound like a true white fascist with the “civilised world” phrase. You also practice Hitler’s Big Lie, flipping the entire history of colonialist expansion.
Nice deflection to the point that Putin’s Russia is the only one behind Ukraine’s invasion, with many nations opposing the clear and unprompted invasion. No counterpoint to that?
We can follow up to 2003 Orange protests sponsored by CIA. Then we can see the 2014 Euromaidan coup by CIA to overthrow the democratically elected Yanukovich, and the leaked phone call between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt proving the same.
I think Russia is not doing enough to curbstomp NATO’s Nazi fetishes out of existence. They need to do a lot more.
History and context is whataboutism? Go wear a red nose and roam on the streets, they will give you good money for this BS. Its funny how you were extracting “counterpoint” a while ago, while claiming you fascists are “civilised world” people, implying all Russia supporters are subhuman hordes.
All I see is someone loudly proclaiming that they believe it is fine when their team commits atrocities, and that they can’t realize they’re spouting conspiracy theories.
Do you call historical context and facts things like whataboutism and conspiracy theories IRL, or is it just deranged “freedom” behaviour behind the keyboard? It is not Russia, but people like you, who have destroyed your western world, because you people never understood freedom comes with responsibility and consequences.
I doubt that the masks had anything to do with it. If someone reacts so violently to being asked to adjust their mask, they will react violently to practically anything.
Conservatism is inappropriate in a modern civilization. If conservatives aren’t gleefully endangering everyone around them during a deadly pandemic, they are mocking, assaulting or murdering those who object.
There is no such thing as a “good conservative”. Conservatism is a plague and should be outlawed entirely.
What are they conserving? Quit calling them that. They haven’t conserved anything. How about simply calling them “criminals” - which they are. The criminal party. How about that? Their new logo can be a cartoon burglar, you know, the one with the mask over the eyes and unshaven? Yeah - like this guy. ish.
Naw, I was too. Haven't been for a year or two, but I've only ever subscribed to them for the shipping. Barely used their streaming when I did cause, also, yarr 🏴☠️
Imagine for a second you were a paid member of a gym, but decided to do most of your exercise outside the gym you just paid for.
That's most streaming platforms for a large amount of people. They're so inconvenient that people will pay for them, and still not use the service they paid for.
A damning indictment of modern day streaming platforms tbh.
God forgive me, I'm going defend Prime. I always thought that because Prime was also required for faster shipping, they were willing to explore artistic shows that something like Netflix wouldn't touch these days. People likely aren't subscribing or cancelling because of the video offer, so they have more freedom to greenlight interesting concepts.
Prime shows like Solos and Tales from the Loop probably aren't great for getting new subscribers, but they're absolutely wonderful, especially compared to season 47 of [generic low-budget comedy baking reality show]. Shows like The Expanse, Mr Robot, Homecoming are all solid and Prime seems far less likely to cancel shows before they end properly.
I loved what the grand tour was able to accomplish on prime that they simply couldn’t on BBC with top gear. The early seasons are wonky with weird formatting, but when they started focusing more on specials in the later seasons (seamen, eurocrash, the Mongolian special, a massive hunt) have been some of the best top gear content since like top gear season 7
I’m almost impressed by how bad their UI is. It’s like they didn’t even try to create something useful, but simply shoehorned it into the regular Amazon codebase.
The only service with worse UI is Sky, and if Sky is your benchmark, than you’re done.
I so much agree. I would never go to Amazon service to buy new movies (for streaming). It is not easy to see what is in your library and sort/search it.
I think we had Prime before streaming even started, so that was like a bonus.
But lately we hardly use it. The site is so janky and bloated with trash, I’d rather pay shipping and buy directly from a brand website or a normal retailer. Most have free shipping nowadays anyway.
I just bought an Apple USB wall adapter from Amazon because Best Buy was out of them. I spent like 20 minutes inspecting it and the package and watching videos about how to make sure it isn’t counterfeit. Buying a $20 thing shouldn’t be a stressful ordeal.
