Comment on A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It
abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days agoThis, literally the only reason I could guess is that it is to teach AI to recognise childporn, but if that is the case, why is google going it instead of like, the FBI?
i know it’s really fucked up, but the FBI needs to train an AI on CSAM if it is to be able to identify it.
i’m trying to help, i have a script that takes control of your computer and basically opens the folder where all your fucked up shit is downloaded. trying to use steganography to embed the applescript in the metadata of a png
What’s the ‘applescript’?
the applescript opens tor from spotlight search and presses the shortcut to open downloads
i dunno how much y’all know about applescript. it’s used to automate apps on your mac. i know y’all hate mac shit but dude, whatever, if you get osascript -e aliased to o you can run applescript easily from your terminal
just pass in a heredoc
Google isn’t the only service checking for csam. Microsoft (and other file hosting services, likely) also have methods to do this. This doesn’t mean they also host csam to detect it. I believe their checks use hash values to determine if a picture is already clocked as being in that category.
This has existed since 2009 and provides good insight on the topic, used for detecting all sorts of bad category images:
Google wants to be able to recognize and remove it. They don’t want the FBI all up in their business.
So, Google could be allowed to have the tools to collect CSAM all over the Web without oversight?
Pretty much everyone else would get straight to jail for attempting that.

Who do you think the FBI would contract to do the work anyway 😬
Maybe not Google but it would sure be some private company. Our government doesn’t do stuff itself almost ever. It hires the private sector
