  His position was essentially:

  1. AI systems sometimes produce harmful or illegal content despite safeguards.
  2. Governments shouldn’t use that as a reason to pressure platform gatekeepers to remove an entire service.

  Important distinctions:

  1. He said he defends open platforms and free speech.
  2. He explicitly said he does not defend the harmful content itself.

    As someone who just tried to sign up for a Costco membership online and couldn’t get past the first page of registration, on multiple devices, Costco is kinda shit too, lol.

      Just go into the store. They’ll sign you up.

        Planning on it lol. Was just mildly annoyed because I needed a product I have to order through their website anyway and I’ll probably need to get a month supply somewhere else to hold me over until I can get the membership and finally get it shipped.

  It wasn’t so much he was defending child pornography as he was saying leftists wanted to selectively take down a right-wing social media platform that right-wingers already successfully took from leftists and replaced with X.

    Right wingers? You mean a nazi? A nazi took twitter that was traditionally not a political platform. It was not left wing. Google says a study showed that it was algorithmicly right leaning in terms of content.

    Your comment is a load of bollocks.

    Sorry to say.

      I’m going to selectively edit my post to make it easier for you to read and not get distracted from the point of what I was saying.

        And i am going to point out that i responded to the part of your comment that i had a problem with.

        I don’t know anything about the “point of your post” so i can’t comment.

        But i would say that after brief google search, if Tim Sweeney wants to defend AIs making deepfake porn then X is 100% thr best platform to do it on. 🙄

    That’s definitely an opinion. A wrong one, but an opinion.

      That’s fine and all, but the same people saying Sweeney defended pedophilia are close to if not the same people who say you’re defending pedophiles if you don’t like payment processors strong-arming porn off of a bunch of different platforms. This is not an accusation against you.

        I’ve literally never heard that claim until just now.
