MataVatnik , in Man Arrested for Creating Child Porn Using AI
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty sure the training data sets are CSAM

Phen ,

I would imagine that AI having been trained on both pictures of kids and on adult sexual content would be somewhat enough to mix the two. Even if the output might end up uncanny.

That’s the most likely case, now my question is was he using somebody else’s generator or did he train this one himself

ContrarianTrail ,

One doesn’t need to browse AI generated images for longer than 5 seconds to realize it can generate a ton of stuff that you for absolute certainty can know wasn’t on the training data. I don’t get why people insist on the narrative that it can only output copies of what it has already seen. What’s generative about that?

Geek_King , (edited ) in Trump Considers Dropping Out Of ‘FAKE NEWS’ ABC Debate After ‘Biased’ Sen. Tom Cotton Interview

If he does drop out of the debate again, I bet they could get him to recommit by going all Biff Tannen on his ass:

“What’s the matter McTrump? Chicken?”

He’ll bristle, and say he’s no chicken and agree to debate Kamala.

In all seriousness, I was surprised agreed to debate her at all, given that he has nothing to gain. Best cash scenario, he tries the same approach he used with Biden, turning his mouth into a fire hose of lies, and Biden couldn’t keep up. With Kamala, she’d just laugh at his lies, and actually refute him with facts, he’d look just awful in comparison.

At this point I doubt he’ll actually show up to the debate.

cowfodder ,

One of the issues he has is that ABC and the Dems want real time fact checking.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The nerve! Not allowing him to just stand there and lie without being challenged!

paddirn ,

How would real-time fact checking even work? Would the moderators actually do their job for once and call it out, or would they just do little VH1/“Pop Up Video”-style graphics where they would highlight whether they would try to correct the record on certain things being said?

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Either would be better than what’s happening now.

HomerianSymphony ,

Would the moderators actually do their job for once and call it out

That’s actually not the job of moderators. This idea that moderators should do fact-checking only came about in 2016 because of Trump.

The network probably should have a team of fact-checkers. But fact checking in real time isn’t easy.

barsquid ,

I would like to have the moderators do anything at all, though, that would be nice. Like cut off a candidate who goes over time. Maybe force candidates to answer the question asked or forfeit their time.

ChocoboRocket ,

Hopefully both, and there’s a Lie-O-Meter that determines how truthful a statement is as its being read, and then a counter of provably false statements made

Not like a here is a one in a billion outlier so the truth is a lie. If crime is down, but up in a small, specific area, the statement “crime is down” would be true.

paddirn ,

It’d be nice if there was some sort of objective, quantitative “score” that could be attached to each candidate’s performance (or as objective as it can be). Something at the end of the night you could point to and be like, “Yeah, they’re a goddamn liar-mouth.” Something either candidate could point to as a “win” without resorting to just soundbites that get blasted the whole week after and people are like, “Oh snap, they said that!” Like, an actual way to tell how honest either candidate seemed during their “performance”. I’m sure Trump would lie his ass off and his base would be like, “Well of course ABC is going to say Trump lied, they’re owned by woke Disney!”, but at the very least we’d have some sort of tracking of how much they lied during a debate.

barsquid ,

There is no objective measurement Repubs won’t ignore if it becomes an obstacle to white supremacist fascism and shoveling money into the yachts of the wealthy.

lolcatnip ,

Here’s my proposal.

During each candidate’s first turn to speak, no fact checks are shown, but the fact checkers will use the other candidate’s turn to come up with corrections. Then when it’s the first candidate’s turn again, the start of that their speaking time is used to read the corrections from their previous statement. If the corrections take the whole speaking slot, too bad so sad.

barsquid ,

If corrections also rollover into the next speaking window, Donald could just do his first slot and then go golfing.

vegeta ,

He can just bring in alternative fact checkers

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I never thought he’d go through with it.

Waveform , in Harris puts housing at center of economic pitch to US voters

Either we get affordable code-compliant housing or we get affordable shanty towns.

A lot of places appear to be trying to go for option C: persecuting homelessness in order to bring back Victorian-style workhouses and expand prison slavery.

Fear is the mind killer, as they say. And trump doesn’t have much mind so it shouldn’t take much fear.

boatswain , in Kroger case tests FTC Chair Khan's bid to protect workers

Here’s the first few paragraphs:

Aug 26 (Reuters) - Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan’s initiative to use antitrust laws to protect workers faces a key test on Monday when the agency will argue the merger between grocery chain Kroger (KR.N), and its rival Albertsons (ACI.N), would crush unionized workers’ bargaining power.

Khan and her fellow antitrust enforcers in the Biden administration have sought to use antitrust laws - deployed in recent decades mostly to protect consumers against high prices - to combat what they view as anticompetitive practices squeezing workers’ paychecks.

Labor has been an area of focus for Khan, a former law professor and congressional antitrust counsel, who took the reins of the agency in June 2021.

Bluefalcon OP ,

Recommend a complete read for everyone. She knows what is important and that really happens in mergers.

explodicle , in Big Crypto Is Spending More on US Elections Than Any Other Industry

Oh and by the way, crypto users… the coins they’ll be promoting won’t be yours. They won’t be pushing for clear SEC categorization or lower taxes. They’ll be helping insiders, and you’re on the outside.

Coinbase made their first attempt to consolidate power with the New York Agreement. This is their next attempt, now with regulatory capture.

Republicans are offering you financial freedom that you already have without their permission.

crozilla ,

Crypto billionaires are billionaires “on paper.” By that, I mean, they can’t get their money OUT of crypto unless millions of people buy INTO crypto. So, of course, they are trying to mainstream it.

MyEdgyAlt , in NYU issues hate speech guidelines discouraging students from targeting ‘Zionists’ [Andrew Lapin | 24 August 2024 | timesofisrael.com]

But per the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been widely adopted (and here), anti-Zionism is antisemitic. Why do you hate Jewish people?

  • Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
  • Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
nondescripthandle , in Matthew Perry death: Inside Hollywood's ketamine obsession

Not sure how prevalent it is in other areas but the avant garde druggies near me who like stuff like ketamine have also been playing around with using GHB on themselves, and yes GHB is that drug.

nomous ,

GHB was a popular club drug before people realized it could also be a date rape drug.

Apparently it actually augments deep sleep. Like, for personal use on yourself, maybe the best sleep you’ve ever had. Its a damn shame assholes have to ruin shit

Jagothaciv , in Harris puts housing at center of economic pitch to US voters

I feel the problem will only get solved if we eliminate housing as an investment. The housing market has obviously been gamed and is a false indicator of wealth. There is no way a 1200 sf POS house is worth $300,000.

Bluefalcon OP ,

Agree. We have politicians ballooning the market and most are share holders, landlords, or developers. We also need to reevaluate school funding using property taxes. Different beast but still attached at the hip.
