Damn this guy really wants his CSAM

You disgust me. I’m just gonna block you because dealing with you further is negatively impacting my ability to feel empathy. I imagine you have that effect on a great number of persons. I pity the people in your life.

source: am alcoholic

I’d argue that acting on those urges in any way would just encourage further action on those urges. There’s a reason alcoholics don’t drink zero-alcohol beers.

Oh hell yeah, I loved that book. Now I just ordered Diamond Age! yeehaw new book day!

would open up anything and everything the authorities dislike to being forbidden.

No it wouldn’t.

Holy shit you’re right

I think a law saying no AI generated CSAM, whether or not the child depicted is real, isn’t an overreach into our fucking freedoms.

Any legal framework targeting pedophiles… will be… used against me

I think I understand why you’re fighting so hard here in the comments

Arguing for the legal production of CSAM is fucked up, even if it’s by an AI.

Also the article specifically states:

AI-generated CSAM may also present other challenges not raised by the government in this appeal. For example, researchers have found that “a major dataset used for training image-generating AI contained hundreds of CSAM images.” Thus, unlike the virtual CSAM at issue in Free Speech Coalition, the market for AI-generated virtual CSAM images may impact the demand for actual CSAM on which the AI models can train.

You’re wrong. We absolutely can draw the line here. And yes, it does harm children. allowing people to create, possess, and distribute CSAM, even if it’s AI-generated, will influence peoples willingness to act on their urges in real life, with real children. It’s not a stretch to consider that linkage. What you’re arguing for is shameful and disgusting.

from the article:

You’re wrong. Literally from the article

yessss, JTHM! That shit was so cool to me

Also I introduced my friend group to Donnie Darko and American History X and it gave me remarkable street cred lol All of a sudden I was “the movie guy”

I joined when it was the only way to win a pair of tickets to The Colbert show’s last taping. I didn’t win, I’ve never opened the site again. My username is like “adifficultpoo” lol

Jesus christ Tim Curry died on the same day as Dolly? What kind of fucked up world are we living in

I hate it here

I’ll believe in consequences for american fascists when I start seeing them

A whole lot of words to say, simply. They don’t believe in democracy, they believe in god, and anyone who they identify as different, should be cast out, and their rights stripped. They’re racist, uneducated, ruled by fear, and are easily manipulated by people stoking emotional appeals to fight against anyone who is a different race, of a different opinion, or is educated past high school.

You cannot get through to people who validate their claims by faith. You can’t logic someone out of an opinion they didn’t use logic to arrive at. They are lost, forever. Only through vast investments into our societies education can counter act this, and thus it is something every conservative politician rails against. This is why they refuse to expand public education, and demonize teachers, teachers unions, and the cost of education in all it’s forms.

Case-in-point

Public pressure doesn’t seem to mean anything to the people in power anymore. Who cares if you’re deeply unpopular if you can ride off into the sunset with millions (or billions) in stolen wealth?

ohhh because a “new moon” is a moon in it’s first phase, where it’s directly between the sun and the earth, making it “invisible.” I get it!

I had a rental car with that lane assist on, and it tried to drive me into oncoming traffic. I don’t care how “rarely” it tries to kill me and others, it only needs to happen once before I turn it off and swear it off forever.
