You can’t blame a computer for what it does. Only the user who asks for the content is to blame. /s
I think it’s disgusting that X probably doesn’t see a problem with it, but it still wouldn’t be legally classified as CSAM, no?
In some places it is CSAM and in others it is being working into convert into law.
I think the issues are:
- It can pass as real
- Unlike run-of-the-mill cartoon porn, real photos of children (even not CSAM) are involved, either in the training or as input for the generation
Manufacturing consent is the name of the game. The bottom line is money, nobody gives a FUCK.

According to this article it doesn’t actually put out porn or child porn. It’s gross but not porn. Relevant text:
“Nonconsensual AI-generated images of women in bikinis spreading their legs, and of children with so-called “donut glaze” on their faces”
I couldn’t even get it to output nudity
I’m not going to use that website to check, but is nobody making Tim Apple deepfakes to goad him? Cant somebody just ask it to recreate that emo-Elon picture that he tried to ban?
Cowards.
Coward$.
Billionaires have the tightest class solidarity
Why do you think? Rules are for poor people.
Because billionaires.
Could Elon buy them? Does he have that much wealth power?
EDIT: to be clear, it’s not that I want him to.‘it’s just frightening that it even sounds plausible enough to question in ignorance
Nah. He can’t buy Apple (market cap $3.8T), or Google ($3.96T). He’s not a trillionaire yet.
To put it into perspective, if he managed to sell all of his ownerships of companies for the most optimistic idea of his current net worth*, he could still buy less than 19% of Apple.
He’d need several friends to chip in to even get to 50%. A trillion is a lot until inflation gets out of hand.
* $717 billion; probably $100 billion too high at least.
