I had to sit at my in laws while they said straight to my face they were boycotting Coke products, Walmart, and Amazon. Right behind them was four dozen Coke cans and an Amazon box.

Blast me to another fucking planet.

I'm screaming this every day, and lemmy is especially ridiculous given our views on capitalism.

In a thread about fast food prices last year, I was told I was privileged for suggesting that, "maybe stop buying their shit?"

If every American had my wife and I's spending habits, the economy would collapse in 3-4 months.

I totally agree with you. I literally made my username "BoycottTwitter" because it's so important and so basic.

Why the fuck are people still using X

For some they use it as a newsfeed without having to interact. For others, it's utilized as a PR platform because partisans don't limit themselves to Bluesky and Mastadon. Also, no need to pay the bastard for a blue checkmark.

The Internet is for porn. Now AI is for porn.

here you go

I trusted the upvotes, and dared to click. It's a safe, informative piece on the topic at hand that I recommend reading.

That picture is not what you asked for. You should ask grok to give your money back.

Loophole. They didn't cross their heart and hope to die. The only way is calling them out with Liar Liar Pants on Fire

If they are being stored on his servers then he absolutely should be, and whoever else is in charge of that company. If that was found on any regular persons pc it would be over, so why not here.

Dorsey: lmao, for you.

It's technically possible because AI doesn't exist. The LLM's we have do exist and these have no idea what it's doing.

It's a database that can parse human language and put pixels together from requests. It has no such concept as child pornography, it's just putting symbols together in a way it learned before that happen to form a child pornography picture

I feel like our relationship to it is also quite messed.

AI doesn't actually undress people, it just draws a naked body. It's an artistic representation, not an X-ray. You're not getting actual nudes in this process, and AI has no clue how the person looks like naked.

Now, such images can be used to blackmail people, because again, our culture didn't quite catch up with the fact that every nude image can absolutely be AI-generated fake. When it does, however, I fully expect creators of such things to be seen as odd creeps spreading their fantasies around and any nude imagery to be seen as fake by default.

AI crawlers are scraping every site. Every site. Random public-but-unlisted hobby sites are getting scraped and spiking users' data. There was a Lemmy post about someone who had that experience just yesterday.

Think of how much Child Porn is stored on public sites that are shared in private groups. Also consider that FaceBook is the largest distributor of Child Sex Abuse material. These models are absolutely trained on Child Porn.

People posting photos online of their kid in the bath, at the beach, etc. with reckless abandon maybe.

For as far as I remember (and that's quite far these days), we've kept telling people to not post pictures of their kids online as much as possible. Way before the facebooks and way before the LLM craze, so people can't mess with them. Guess 20 years of heads up wasn't enough.
