Yeah for planes I’m not worried about how to use the door, I’m worried about how I get from 20 000+ feet to ground level, safely.

For trains and buses it’d be more about hiking out from the middle of nowhere.

Either case I’m not actually worried, just saying that the logic of “trust no one but yourself” is flawed.

Remind me never to get on an airplane or train.

Buses questionable.

Oh well guess I’ll continue using audiobookshelf.

You missed. Your target is over here: https://lemmy.world/post/44020543

Saving a click: “the same landlord” is Asif Aziz, some billionaire asshole in the Middle East.

I mean if you want to interpret some shitty line drawings as CSAM, knock yourself out.

The point I was trying (and clearly failing) to make is that judging images by the labels is stupid, but so is judging by leaving the appearance entirely open to interpretation.

Hell, I hadn’t even considered LLMs where a text description alone would be a problem since an LLM could use that to generate an image.

Because it’s less real. The amount of harm and/or damage is proportional the realism. Using that shitty line drawing I made for an example: if I say the lines represent something objectionable, would that make it so? No, not really.

The closer to real, the greater the psychological damage to the viewer. However it’s still no actual harm to anyone else.

And then production of actual CSAM actually does harm children.

Like, this seems like blatantly obvious stuff, no one is harmed by someone making lines on paper. (Or with modern tech lines on a screen but the idea is the same.)

Sure, I guess, although it’s kind of inextricably linked to the damage of actually using it.

Hmmm…

I mean, purely on principle? Sure. No one would have been harmed apart from the environmental damage. Once that’s done, nothing will undo that.

Psychological damage purely from exposure and normalization of that kind of content, probably not ideal.

The muddying of the waters around Epstein guilt, also bad. (“That was fake, so any other news must also be fake”).

Apart from the above sorts of things, (but maybe there’s others I didn’t think of off the top of my head): as long as no one watches it, it’s no more harmful than the sentence describing the idea in the first place.

No, because fuck AI and burning our future on that shit.

They’re both just drawings. None of it is real. The only difference is the label.

You guys realize that you’re talking about drawings right? Like, marks on a paper or screen?

Even putting sexuality aside it’s like arguing over how old these “characters” are:

One of them is 5 years old, the other is 500.

But over here in reality, it’s all fictional and doesn’t matter because they’re just a drawing.

And we also grow soybeans to feed to Chinese farm animals

Well, not any more.

It depends on what is meant by “destroy”. I interpret it as “destroy in its current form”, not “erase from the map”.

Destroy in the way that Nazi Germany was destroyed, or the British Empire was destroyed. The people and places still exist, but are structured differently.

Not in the way that Palestine is being destroyed now where there is literally bare emptiness where the people were.

“Immigration and Customs Enforcement” —abbreviated as “ICE” — is the organization that he supports. He’s not in favor of immigration, he’s in favor of the organization that traditionally enforces immigration laws, in other words anti-immigration.

Also worth noting that this organization’s mission has been skewed from simply enforcing the laws into “kidnapping people with tan skin or or who have an accent” and generally being a modern version of the Nazi “brownshirts”. So that is what he is supporting.

Issue as always is that vendors have zero interest in maintaining their drivers over time.

Neither releasing updates for a new OS version, nor putting them through the process to get them into windows built-in driver library.

They’ll do it grudgingly if it helps them sell more products but even that seems to be a struggle. AMD and nvidia are better than most in that regard.

Full Metal Jacket.

NiMH are 1.2 V. You’re probably thinking of alkaline.

I’m certainly not saying that the people under attack should be obligated to prove it in any way.

Just curious if the AI is in any way accurate or if it ends up just being generic naked bodies with a recognizable face. I’m guessing it’s the latter.
