World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The fuck? Nothing about generating and distributing CSAM material is harmless, and especially if images of real children are being used to generate it.
Okay. Who is harmed and how?
Would it harm you to have identifiable nude photos of you available for download on the internet?
Would it harm you to have identifiable nude photos of you being used to train AI so that it can create more nude images that are "inspired" by your nude images?
Would you be happy to upload your children's nude photos so that people on the internet can share them and masturbate to them? Would you be harmed if your parents had done that with your images?
Most AI generated images are not of real, identifiable people. I agree that deepfake porn is bad, whether of a child or adult, but that's a separate category.
You're definitely right, and I'm aware. The smaller the sample size, though, the more likely an AI art generator would create something that looks very similar to a given individual.
As well, some AI art generators accept prompt images to use as a starting point.
Ok but that's a pretty niche thing to be worried about, is my point. You can't apply that broadly to all AI porn.
Not so much when it comes to prompt images.
As a child? No. In fact, I can milk that for pity money. As an adult, I can't see how it matters. I don't like it, but it doesn't hurt me any.
Also definitely no.
Again, double no.
To clarify, the second last question about your children was "would you be happy to ..."
If you wouldn't be happy to, then why not?
And if you would be happy to do that, then why? Lol
You got me there. It's definitely weird and gross and therefore no. That's harm enough, but that's more a matter of it being published and real. This dude doing it for himself is hardly different to me from fantasizing in your head or drawing in your sketchbook. That said, what was his AI training material? He's also doing this for other people and encouraging rape and shit.
What makes it different than imagining it or drawing it is that the AI is using real photos as training material. If the parents are knowingly providing images, that's questionable. If the AI is discovering CSAM images, that's horrible. If it's using non-CSAM images of children without the knowing consent of the parents, that's pretty bad too.
How is AI using real photos any different from a person using their real memory?
Because the AI publishes what it creates based on those images. The AI also doesn't have imagination the way that a person does. It could accidentally create CSAM material with a child that looks exactly like someone's child. And it can generate images that look like photos. Someone sketching something from memory can't do that.
AI doesn't have to publish, and also that doesn't make it any different from drawing. I don't think the CP is accidental. Someone with enough skill can absolutely do that.
Sorry, I meant it could create CSAM that, by accident, looks exactly like one of the source children.
AI "publishes" whenever it gives something to the user.
Drawing is different from AI art because AI art can look like photographs.
Drawing can look like photographs. How old are you?
Lol...do you really not see the difference in an AI art generator that can produce realistic CSAM in seconds, and a talented artist who can draw CSAM so realistic that it looks like a photograph?
No I don't. There's no difference. Are you trying to say that talent gives you a free pass where otherwise they shouldn't? Fuck that. The speed is meaningless. The realism is meaningless. The brush you paint with doesn't change the ethics even a little bit.
It's not about the speed in isolation. The speed is what allows for the quantity to be much greater.
Just like breaking into one car over night is bad, but breaking into 100,000 cars over one night is a problem of a much greater scope.
So your point is that because he's fast with this tool, it's bad? Guess we gotta institute fake CP data rate limits.
A tool that allows anyone to generate countless images of CSAM in minutes (based on real images as input) is definitely worse than someone needing to spend years honing an art and using hours to produce one image of CSAM. I'm not really sure how someone could argue against that.
Why? It's pictures. Sticks and stones yo.
So again...you wouldn't do it with your children's pictures, right?
I'm an antinatalist. I think the shit kids gotta go through regularly is worse than all that.
So if you were to get 5 cents per image, would you do it? Lol
