Those same images have made it easier for AI systems to produce realistic and explicit imagery of fake children as well as transform social media photos of fully clothed real teens into nudes, much to the alarm of schools and law enforcement around the world.
Until recently, anti-abuse researchers thought the only way that some unchecked AI tools produced abusive imagery of children was by essentially combining what they’ve learned from two separate buckets of online images — adult pornography and benign photos of kids.
But the Stanford Internet Observatory found more than 3,200 images of suspected child sexual abuse in the giant AI database LAION, an index of online images and captions that’s been used to train leading AI image-makers such as Stable Diffusion. The watchdog group based at Stanford University worked with the Canadian Centre for Child Protection and other anti-abuse charities to identify the illegal material and report the original photo links to law enforcement.
well I wonder what excuse all the AI fuckbois have for this one.
Probably “well that’s not good”.
You think that people who disagree with you on AI stuff are somehow okay with child porn?
I don’t think that’s what they’re suggesting at all.
The question isn’t “Did you know there is child porn in your data set?”
The question is “Why the living fuck didn’t you know there was child porn in your fucking data set, you absolute fucking idiot?”
The answer is more mealy-mouthed bullshit from pussies who didn’t have a plan and are probably currently freaking the fuck out about harboring child porn on their hard drives.
The point is it shouldn’t have happened to begin with and they don’t really have a fucking excuse and if all they can come up with is “well that’s not good” maybe they should go die in a fucking fire to make the world a better place. “Oopsie doodles I’m sowwy” isn’t good enough.
