The only way to generate CSAM is by abusing children and taking pictures/videos of it.
Society has decided otherwise, as I wrote, you can’t have your own facts. You might as well claim that in traffic red means go, because you have your own interpretation of how traffic lights should work.
- Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 1 day ago:
There’s a reason it’s legally considered CSAM. as I explained it is material that depicts it.
You can’t make up your own definitions. - Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 1 day ago:
CSAM = Child sexual abuse material
Even virtual material is still legally considered CSAM in most places. Although no children were hurt, it’s a depiction of it. And that’s enough. - Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 1 day ago:
First of all, it’s by definition not CSAM if it’s AI generated. It’s simulated CSAM
This is blatantly false. It’s also illegal and you can go to prison for owning selling or making child Lolita dolls.
- Comment on Time travel and the economy 1 week ago:
Ultimately, “the present” is something applicable to and that exists within the mind of a single observer.
No, it’s an objective thing. No observation can be exactly “at the present”, I clearly explained that earlier, there are always delays, that doesn’t change the fact that like a photo is not the past being real, so it is far all observations. That doesn’t change the fact that there is an objective “present”.
One of the hallmarks of science is that different people can independently measure something and confirm its existence. If no two observers can ever agree on what constitutes “the present,” then how can “the present” be said to exist at all? It’s a fundamentally unscientific concept.
Oh boy, yes I know that argument, and it’s a flawed argument IMO. It’s about definition. If we agree to meet somewhere at the same time, then when we meet we are at the present. There is no sane argument about that IMO. We perceive each other with a slight latency, but that does not prevent us from being together in the present.
To argue the present doesn’t exist is nonsense, and no more than a philosophical curiosity. Scientists absolutely work with a present too, and obviously compensate for latency.
I could ask the same question reversed: How can scientists compensate for latency to a degree they can measure gravitational waves, without an objective time frame, that requires acknowledgement of a present?

Clocks traveling near the speed of light don’t just appear to slow down, they actually slow down.
Which is EXACTLY the ONLY thing I said you can actually do.
- Comment on Time travel and the economy 1 week ago:
It can be argued that special relativity eliminates the concept of absolute simultaneity
That’s not the same thing. Obviously all experiences are delayed, and therefore about the past, even if it is merely picoseconds.
In that way we can only experience the past, that is obvious, and not relevant to my argument. - Comment on Time travel and the economy 1 week ago:
That’s not a concoction or a fantasy, but the actual reality. Or are you trying to argue the present doesn’t exist?
- Comment on Time travel and the economy 1 week ago:
Maybe not because you can’t prove a negative, but since there is no proof that it exist, there is no reason to believe it does.
- Comment on Time travel and the economy 1 week ago:
All speculation on time travel end out in either paradoxes or infinities.
You are basically wasting your time, time travel is a fantasy and not reality.
Time can be slowed, but there is no way it’s possible to travel back in time, because the past no longer exist. So there is nowhere to travel to.
In the same way the future does not exist yet, so you can’t “travel” to that either.
Time can however be somewhat suspended locally, making it seem like you are travelling to the future. But in reality you are only suspended in time locally. - Comment on They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone 1 week ago:
Be more careful, and best of luck to you.
- Comment on They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone 1 week ago:
I’m surprised that such a niche forum could be targeted,
If you can find it, authorities can too. Sounds like you are far from careful enough, considering where you are.
- Comment on They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone 1 week ago:
You are very naive, and should probably be a lot more careful when in Saudi Arabia.
- Comment on They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone 1 week ago:
They fucking geoblocked blahaj.zone.
I suppose THEY is Saudi Arabia.
How can you be surprised about that? Saudi Arabia is a Sharia law country. An absolute shit stain of a country in many more ways than this.
You can fucking get a death penalty for posting something against Sharia Law on any site. Actively using Lemmy could be enough to see you in jail. - Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
Yes, there are still potentially issues. I’ll come back to what I said at the start: passwords are a bad system in general, all methods for handling them are flawed, but password managers have the fewest flaws.
Well that I can actually mostly agree on, IDK how we got into a disagreement on that in principle? For me personally though, I trust myself more, than a software manager. I’m pretty sure my passwords are strong enough, even if a software manager can make even stronger passwords.
- Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
That’s true. But how does a randomized password generated by a password manager work when the service is accessed from 3 platforms? Like for instance Windows, Linux and Android?
Seems to me that you need 3 different pieces of software, and just 1 getting compromised would compromise everything. - Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
True, my argument is that in practice it doesn’t matter. How many passwords of REASONABLE strength are brute forced? Opposed to how many are lifted from services with lacking security?
- Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
he human brain isn’t capable of keeping track of enough entropy to create a secure password system.
What an idiotic argument, the level of entropy comes from the rules first and foremost, putting a 1 and an A together is the exact same entropy as using 2 and B.
More generally, it’s a big red flag when anybody thinks they can make a better system than publicly available and verified systems.
You completely fail to understand the argument. I’m not arguing my passwords are stronger, I’m arguing they are SAFER! because they are not stored on 3 different systems, one of which could theoretically have a vulnerability.

Nope, it only helps to not increase it further.
- Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
What? What kind of system do you think I have? The only vulnerability is if they can hack my brain.
- Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
Your own system is probably worse than what password managers do.
How so? If you use a password manager across 3 platforms, that makes for 3 attack vectors.
My personal system has guaranteed no vulnerabilities. So how do you conclude my system is worse? - Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
The point of having a high entropy password is to protect against hackers brute forcing a leaked database of hashes.
Seems a bit stupid if a database of passwords or other sensitive information can be brute forced.
- Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
just use a password manager
I will never do that, I have a system instead. I never understood why people would want to use a password manager. To me it seems it ads an attack vector, where you could lose EVERYTHING!

Something that can possibly be deduced, like a birth date.
- Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 week ago:
Yes because if you choose 8 characters at random, with 25 small + 25 big letters and 10 numeric, it* only 60^8 = 167,961,600,000,000 combinations.
I think the problem is more if the system allow brute force with thousands of erroneous attempts.
I never got the frantic entropy mindset, when the problem is much simpler to not allow endless attempts. You can allow 50 attempts, and chances would be very slim to guess even pretty moronic passwords. - Comment on Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that? 3 weeks ago:
Exactly, that’s a perfectly theologian explanation, it sounds good, but doesn’t stand the least bit of scrutiny.
Already the creation story on the first pages says god created light and saw the light is good. How is it good without subjective emotion?
How exactly are gods emotions supposed to be different. Does good mean something different to god?Religion is worthless bullshit.
- Comment on If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that? 3 weeks ago:
Well you kind of have the thing reversed.
All gods are created by man in mans image. And gods are generally exactly as selfish childish (narcissistic) and emotional as a 4 year old, because that’s the mentality of the people with the delusions that created the gods in the first place. And then the people who think they know what god is and want. - Comment on Justice should be equal 4 weeks ago:
