There’s a thing that was happening in the past. Not sure it’s still happening, due to lack of news about it. It was something called “glamour modeling” I think or an extension of it.

Basically, official/legal photography studios took pictures of child models in swimsuits and revealing clothing, at times in suggestive positions and sold them to interested parties.

Nothing untoward directly happened to the children. They weren’t physically abused. They were treated as regular fashion models. And yet, it’s still csam. Why? Because of the intention behind making those pictures.

The intention to exploit.

I don’t know personally. The admins of the fediverse likely do, considering it’s something they’ve had to deal with from the start. So, they can likely answer much better than I might be able to.

Schools generally means it involves underage individuals, which makes any content using them csam. So in effect, the “AI” companies are generating a ton of csam and nobody is doing anything about it.

China still has the “lots of restless young men” problem, so they may be trying to placate the issue by way of diversionary tactics.

Still it’s something they created on their own, at the expense of women and now shockingly (not) blame women as well.

Truly idiotic leadership everywhere.

You’re right. It’s an opinion and only as important as the one having the opinion decides it to be.

That’s kinda the problem. We’re already careless with the things we do ourselves. It can’t be helped, nobody’s perfect. But once we start delegating tasks, we lose the direct experience. Priorities shift, attention moves to something else and the chance of carelessness rises because it’s no longer a problem we have to concern ourselves with.

Meanwhile, the LLM “learns”. What it “learns”, nobody knows because it does so mechanically. There’s zero understanding.
It keeps “learning” every time it’s fed something, so you don’t have a static program that does what it’s told. Instead it’s a “living” program that applies what it “learns”. And that makes it unpredictable in the long run.

This turns the user into a glorified middle manager who has to hover over their employee and make sure they did their job as they should have. And how many middle managers do you know with that kind of dedication, that isn’t spiteful at its core?

The push against this is that the people depending on it to do the work become less dependable themselves. And unless you’re an independent developer without a profit driven publisher breathing down your neck, this will be used in all the wrong ways as a standard instead of it being the exception.

Love and hate are subjective opinions, so of course they’re unfair.

And so are upvotes/downvotes.

You’re expecting it to be used responsibly when we ourselves in general are very lacking in that department.

This here is a very good example of the actual use that will happen. A rush job to meet unrealistic deadlines. And that’s what will happen as is the norm.

“like it or not, gen AI is becoming an invaluable tool for developers”…

…who wish to take a dump on their work.

Not many do, which is probably why they keep shuffling around the ones already in place.

But also

Asians, and not just Japanese people, are known for their beautiful, smooth skin, so it ends up looking like CG.

Printing your bills and documents can save you a lot of trouble when needed.

I’d rather use that dollar and buy an older game i haven’t played than spend it on pretty skins.

Yeah, but I’m cheaper so I only paid for the mass produced version. No movie bullet holes for me I’m afraid…

Oh so many.

They’re not useless. They’re just there as a representative for shareholders and their job is to wring out the greatest value out of the company.

That means picking out the best moments to invest, hire more assets, fire the disposables etc.

They’re the gamblers using other people’s money to make more money.

Well, I bought RoboCop.

That’s pretty much the norm on the first day.

I’ll start looking tomorrow and compare all the offers.

Normal is all of that, but without waking up in the middle of it.

Glad to have you back! I recommend you pet a duck to gain a little happiness. Why a duck? Because there’s tutorials on how to catch one safely. Enjoy!
