“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”

“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF's investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”

Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck's pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick's sake.

it’s essentially iterating on known images

No. It's iterating on the common traits of known images compressed plus lots of randomization.

If you trained a Stable Diffusion model on only pictures of Rwandan people, and asked for an image of “a man sitting on a chair” the man will look vaguely Rwandan.

If you train a model on adult pornography and non-pornography with children and adults alike, it might be capable of generating plausible child pornography.

When you train an AI on CSAM, it produces images that are based on CSAM. Real people were victims in the base material, too. Close e-fuckin’-nough. Real people’s victimization is literally the core of how those images are made.

I've just told you how this is not true.

You seem to have that "all or nothing" mindset in an argument, as if you really didn't like someone, then they should be prosecuted as a rapist, a murderer and an arsonist at the same time. Exaggerating, of course.

Point being that child pornography without real victims is something not contested here and has its own implications. You are trying to argue on something out of reach.

Do you honestly think people who make AI CP and want to see CP are training models on a ton of things to get them close, and then figuring out how to nudge it all just a bit further? Or do the people already in the CSAM world with access to CSAM that want to make CP just use the CSAM to train the model? I expect the second. Meaning there's victims.

Plus, it's disgusting and should be illegal anywhere that it isn't just in general. It's weird that you're defending it like it's diet coke or something.

"It's disgusting" is not quite the right argument for making something illegal.

And that "you're defending" presupposition should honestly be your last claim in any group of people before being shown the door.

Quoting myself.

I "honestly think" each case is unique. Just like with everything else.

CP is harmful due to normalizing the thing, useful due to redirecting some of the energy people with that pathology have away from, you know, real children.

All or nothing is right - nothing. No images depicting child sexual abuse. None. Not AI, not animated, not drawn, not real CSAM. WTF is even wrong with you?
