This is not hypothetical. Bits of human beings have been ritually imprisoned and they basically deform to take the shape of the prison.

Now that Trump’s USA scores almost as low as China on the democracy scale, I guess TikTok isn’t an existential threat to the nation anymore.
- Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 2 days ago:
I don’t know man. But I assume associations concerned with child abuse are all over that shit and checking it out. I’m not a specialist of CSAM but I assume an article that says old victims show up in previously-unseen images doesn’t lie, because why would it? It’s not like Wired is a pedo outlet…
Also, it was just a question. I’m not trying to convince you of anything 🙂
- Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 2 days ago:
it’s by definition not CSAM if it’s AI generated
Tell that to the judge. People caught with machine-made imagery go to the slammer just as much as those caught with the real McCoy.
- Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 2 days ago:
The article says “remixed” images of old victims have cropped up.
- Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 2 days ago:
Yeah but the article suggests that pedos train their local AI on existing CSAM, which would indicate that it’s somehow needed to generate AI-generated CSAM. Otherwise why would they bother? They’d just feed images of children in innocent settings and images of ordinary porn to get their local AI to generate CSAM.

I wish my parents had the same relaxed approach to parenting: “I don’t get this whole bong thing but my son seems to be having fun.”
- Comment on "The biggest threat to America today is not communism, it's moving America toward a fascist theocracy" - Frank Zappa, 1986 3 days ago:
Theocrats invoke the divine to rule. That’s not Trump’s and his rich backer’s modus operandi. Trump only mentions God in passing when it comes to conning religious-minded people.
- Comment on "The biggest threat to America today is not communism, it's moving America toward a fascist theocracy" - Frank Zappa, 1986 3 days ago:
He got the fascist part right.
The theocracy though, that he got wrong. Our leaders only pay lip service to God: their true drive is money.
This isn’t a theocracy: it’s a broligarchy. - Comment on Ordering coffee in the USA triggers me 4 days ago:
No irony or sarcasm. The USA really triggers me.

If you ask for less ice, no screw you, you’re not getting the full amount of coffee that you paid for…
Actually you got exactly what you asked for: you asked for a product with less of something…

Sorry, now I get what you’re asking. But your question was really strangely worded 🙂
- Comment on For French origin words like "meter" American English inverted the last letters of "metre" to better match the pronunciation. Why isn't it also the case for other similar situations like "possible"? 1 week ago:
“Meter” isn’t a French word and “metre” isn’t an American English word. Other than that, spot on.

- Comment on "Family Size" has no meaning anymore 1 week ago:
You do realize this is to enchilada what Papa John’s is to pizza right?
- Comment on "Family Size" has no meaning anymore 1 week ago:
Yes there is: chemical cheese flavor is cheaper than cheese.
- Comment on "Family Size" has no meaning anymore 1 week ago:
“Cheesy queso” is there for a very specific reason: they can’t legally put “cheese” on the box because that has a legal definition, and there must be a minimum percentage of cheese in the product for the box to legally bear the word “cheese”.
“Cheesy queso” has no legal definition. So even if the product only has 0.1% cheese in it - or no cheese at all - it’s not illegal to write “cheesy queso”.
- Comment on "Family Size" has no meaning anymore 1 week ago:
Well okay, maybe I wasn’t clear. I agree with you that you certainly aren’t getting enough nourishment for an entire family - and in fact, even if you have enough food volume for an entire family, this crap wouldn’t count as nourishment anyway. And you’re probably paying this box of goopy shit dollars on the pennies it cost to make.
I was just pointing out that, like most things the agro industry puts on boxes, “family size” has no legal meaning and therefore is technically correct depending on how you interpret it.
Incidentally, another thing that means jack squat on your box of dubious food is “Now with more cheese”. If they started out with zero cheese (and no, the stuff with a cheesy taste used in ultra-processed food isn’t legally cheese) then adding a flake or two of real cheddar makes it technically possible to say “Now with more cheese”.
- Comment on "Family Size" has no meaning anymore 1 week ago:
“Family size” simply means “can serve an entire family”. It doesn’t mean “Can stuff 4 American bellies full”. It’s hard to judge the size of the box in your photo, but I can see serving one of those enchiladas per family member, along with pasta and salad or something.
- Comment on If this was all before you were born you just can't realize the how great the newest technology is 1 week ago:
That’s stupid.
I was born when all those things were the norm and I could appreciate how great technology of my youth (yes, that stuff in the photo) was compared to that of my grandparents’, whose car had plain glass windows and no seatbelts, and who bought canned music on wax cylinders. And yet I never knew those things.

- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 week ago:
Indeed I do. I’m Gen-X 🙂 This sort of shit was unheard of - and unthinkable - when I grew up. This is everybody’s normal today but it sure ain’t mine.
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 week ago:
Be that as it may, it’s still unacceptable.
To me anyway.
And it fully qualifies as dystopian in my opinion. - Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 week ago:
They accept other forms of social media presence of course - although only a select few types. But when I looked into this 2 or 3 years ago, they were absolutely biased towards you preferentially having a Facebook account. And they literally told me they actively worked with Facebook, hence the bias - and if you don’t find them outright admitting this alarming, I don’t know what does.
I’m just telling you what they told me.
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 week ago:
But it seems pretty easy to just tell them you never had an account before and create a dummy one.
That doesn’t work. They don’t accept that. They tell you “Sorry but you need a solid social media presence, with an old account full of actual content.” No social media, no OnlyFans. They literally tell you that when you send them a support email asking why your application was rejected.
