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.

Violates the right to your own image. You are not allowed to upload images of a classmate to an AI cloud without asking and neither to reach the generated images around.
Is that an actual legal right? If you've described it accurately, then Facebook and Instagram would be completely illegal
It depends on your location, different countries have very different laws.
For example in most countries it's perfectly acceptable to have someone in a picture that you're taking in public (for example you're taking a picture of a building and someone happens to walk by). A notable exception to this is France, where apparently the right to ones own image is quite strong which technically makes most pictures of the Eiffel Tower illegal (as long as any one person is identifiable on it).
Taking (and distributing) a picture specifically of a specific person that's just doing random stuff in public is already less uniform and varies. There's often some protection to basically say "no, you can't make fun of some random person for having the wrong tshirt, they have a right to privacy". A notable exception to that is usually "public figures" (which mostly means people in political, religious or commercial leadership positions): they mostly just have to accept to be pictured wherever.
Protection for pictures taken in a private is usually the strongest (so yes, if you post a picture of your 3 best friends at a small party in your home, you might have to ask them for permission!)
How all of this applies to pictures that "aren't real" but look disturbingly so is probably going to be fought over in court for a good while.
No, human right. And yeah, they mostly are. But it's not Facebook offending but each of the teens, so nobody can really enforce it. Same like with phone numbers, except that those are actually protected by law in most countries.
~~AI generates novel images, though. They are merely trained to produce your likeness. None of the pixels are from any source images.~~
In this case, I'm mistaken. They used a clothing remover app on normal photos and did not train an AI.
Jesus Christ that’s not even close to AI they literally stitched together shit like photoshop
By the way, where do you see that clothoff ( the app mentioned in the article) doesn’t use trained AI models? I’m refraining from visiting their site to check myself as I don’t really want to give them that traffic and I figured I’d ask you direct instead as you already went their to verify I assume)
I didn't say the app doesn't use trained models. I said the students didn't themselves train an embedding or LORA against the other students' faces in order to generate entirely new pics.
Ah, good point I missed that detail. Thanks for clarifying
