    Why the fuck are people still using X unless they’re literally alt-right nazis and pedos?

    Americans: “tHeRe’S nOtHiNg wE cAn dO” Door dashes some 60 dollar chipotle while Xitting all over themselves and posting it on Instagram.

    MAYBE STOP MAKING THESE FUCKERS RICHER EVERY FUCKING DAY?!?!?

      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.

        People will agree amazon is evil and needs to have less power but say it’s too convenient and cheap. They’ll say apple is too powerful while buying every new iPhone. I watch people who say I’m privileged spend more money than I do on everything from food to entertainment. Most people really don’t care about enacting their principles, if it means giving up anything or spending 2 minutes of effort. Is what it is I guess.

        spending your $ consciously is literally the only way to fix this beast, the entire system is designed towards extracting it…therefor the only way to stress the system is to give your $ to (good) local/private businesses whenever possible.

        Exactly. Quiet quitting was as step in the right direction. What we need is a quiet strike. Take back our will from corporations, from food prep to dating apps. Their hold is pervasive and destructive to the social fabric in almost every instance at this point. The key problem in the free world is that people have placed their faith in corporations and religious organizations and have learned to fear their neighbor by default, which is entirely backwards to a healthy society.

      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.

        The story says:

        After days of concern over use of the chatbot to alter photographs to create sexualised pictures of real women and children stripped to their underwear without their consent

        Pictures of women or children in underwear are generally not illegal in the United States.

      musk asked people to be nice. That should cover the service, legally speaking, no?

      It’s not like he could pull the plug, or alter the behavior of the bot, that’s impossible (as long as you ignore the many time he did).

    How they undress underage without this data on their server to train the models?

    source
    • KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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 that just now. Consider that FaceBook is the largest distributor of Child Sex Abuse material, and think of how much Child Porn is stored on underground sites. They absolutely trained their model 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.

      • imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Can confirm. Been a mod on one minor social media site. Once banned a group that claimed to be “nudist”. More than half of photos were featuring under aged children. This shit happens more often than we think.

    • Honytawk@feddit.nl ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      They don’t need to.

      Take pictures of normal dressed children, combine with pictures of naked adults. Now you have CP.

      source
      • cley_faye@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I haven’t seen these pictures, so I can’t say how good/bad it works, but if that was only that, the results would be more or less wrong. Kids are quite different from adults.

        On the other hand, plenty of pictures of naked/semi naked kids in a non sexual context can probably be found online already, so it’s not inconceivable that their model had plenty of references to use anyway.

        source
  • prac@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    This is messed up tbh. Using AI to undress people—especially kids—shouldn’t even be technically possible, let alone still online after a ‘suspension’ promise.

    source
    • phoenixz@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      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

      source
      • prac@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        This is a lot of words to basically say the developers didn’t bother to block illegal content. It doesn’t need to ‘understand’ morality for the humans running it to be responsible for what it produces.

      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.

      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.

      source
      • prac@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Idk, calling it ‘art’ feels like a reach. At the end of the day, it’s using someone’s real face for stuff they never agreed to. Fake or not, that’s still a massive violation of privacy.

        source
      • nullroot@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        It’s not an artistic representation, it’s worse. It’s algorithmic and to that extent it actually has a pretty good idea of what a person looks like naked based on their picture. That’s why it’s so disturbing.
