Yes, unfortunately.

I think there might be a connection between poast-dot-org and poa-dot-st. The latter is a Neo-Nazi Pleroma instance. I haven't seen any proof that the domains are connected. Might not be.

It connected all the conspiracy weirdos too, fwiw.

Copyright infringement becomes theft when you make money off of someone else's work, which is the goal of every one of these AI companies. I 100% mean theft.

Look, you're the one who set the Louvre as the standard for what is or isn't art. If you want to keep moving the goalpost, by all means, explain what you actually think makes something art.

My take is that you can train AI on whatever you want for research purposes, but if you brazenly distribute models trained on other people's content, you should be liable for theft, especially if you are profiting off of it.

Just because AI has so much potential doesn't mean we should be reckless and abusive with it. Just because we can build a plagiarism machine capable of reproducing facsimiles of humanity doesn't mean that how we are building that is ethical or legal.

Hell yeah on correctly recognizing what year was the first year of the 21st century! Thinking the new millennium started in 2000 is a pet peeve of mine.

If inclusion in the Louvre is an obligatory status to be considered art, then makeup is absolutely art.

Nobody said anything anti-gun. This is a legitimate statistic.

If it feels anti-gun to you, it's probably your conscience asking you if this is an acceptable side effect of unlimited gun rights. Maybe listen to that voice and think of an answer to that question.

Somebody really needs to do something about this kid.

The author of the article is right not to believe this claim. The author can say that their software was intended for whatever noble uses they want. We know from experience that software has mainstream off-label use.

Is BitTorrent really a tool for downloading community content like open films and Linux distros? Because that's what the creators say it's for. It's not untrue.

Is Jellyfin or Plex a tool for organizing your ripped collection of CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays? That's what the developers say. It's not untrue

Is Tor a tool for protecting dissidents? That's what they say it is. It really is that. But is that all it is?

This tool might be useful for identifying sex trafficking victims, just as a nudifying app might be useful for identifying victims of involuntary pornography.

But on the other side of this is that nudifying apps are more likely to be used to create involuntary pornography, and makeup-removal apps are more likely to be used to harass women.

No reason to ban AI technology or anything, but no reason to pretend that tools like this aren't used for off-label and sometimes nefarious purposes.
