- Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 4 weeks ago:
doesn’t it follow that AI-generated CSAM can only be generated if the AI has been trained on CSAM?
Not quite, since the whole thing with image generators is that they’re able to combine different concepts to create new images. That’s why DALL-E 2 was able to create a images of an astronaut riding a horse on the moon, even though it never saw such images, and probably never even saw astronauts and horses in the same image. So in theory these models can combine the concept of porn and children even if they never actually saw any CSAM during training, though I’m not gonna thoroughly test this possibility myself.
Still, as the article says, since Stable Diffusion is publicly available someone can train it on CSAM images on their own computer specifically to make the model better at generating them. Based on my limited understanding of the litigations that Stability AI is currently dealing with (1, 2), whether they can be sued for how users employ their models will depend on how exactly these cases play out, and if the plaintiffs do win, whether their arguments can be applied outside of copyright law to include CSAM images generated with SD.
My question is: why aren’t OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic… sued for possession of CSAM? It’s clearly in their training datasets.
Well they don’t own the LAION dataset, which is what their image generators are trained on. And to sue either LAION or the companies that use their datasets you’d probably have to clear a very high bar of proving that they have CSAM images downloaded, know that they are there and have not removed them. It’s similar to how social media companies can’t be held liable for users posting CSAM to their website if they can show that they’re actually trying to remove these images. Some things will slip through the cracks, but if you show that you’re actually trying to deal with the problem you won’t get sued.
LAION actually doesn’t even provide the images themselves, only linking to images on the internet, and they do a lot of screening to remove potentially illegal content. As they mention in this article there was a report showing that some CSAM images were linked in the dataset, but if my memory doesn’t fail me the researchers who found this did so by looking at the stored hashes of the images, which were matched to known CSAM hashes, but the images themselves had already been removed from the internet, so LAION technically only linked to unavailable images. Still they took down and revised the dataset after this report.

Recently I’ve actually been wondering how the hell researchers manage their citations for big projects, because a while back I started doing some research on the Cass Review, stumbled on my own dick and accidentally ended up with 70-something disorganized citations that were a pain in the ass to clean up.
I’m definitely checking out those first two software lol

- Comment on Anon defends Michael Jackson 5 months ago:
But I couldn’t find a credible source for the “showing children pornography” portion you mentioned
It’s from one of the kid’s testimony in the first link (it starts with “Now, when you first saw the suitcase, where was it in that room.”), where he talks about how Michael showed him and his brother some porn mags. The first time he was hanging out with MJ while he was putting on makeup, and MJ picked up a suitcase with the porn mags and showed the kid one of the pictures. In the second occasion the kid can’t recall if he or his brother brought up the suitcase or if MJ did, but he says that they were all looking at the magazines together for “30 minutes to an hour”.
Regarding the books specifically, it’s one of those elements that on their own could be interpreted as just MJ being kinda weird. We know the first book was a gift given the fan’s inscription, and it’s fairly reasonable to assume that the second one was a gift too. As the blog post points out the third book wasn’t brought up in court and wasn’t with the other two books, but it’s still reasonable to assume that it belonged to MJ. To me the way the blog author tries to “soften” the book definitely points to some bias in their part:
The third book, that was confiscated in 1993 In Search of Young Beauty: A Venture Into Photographic Art (Charles Du Bois Hodges, 1964) which contains both boys and girls, mostly dressed, but some nude or semi-nude.
If we squint a bit we could just chalk these up to MJ possibly being a nudist or being a bit weird. I certainly think it’s odd that he had books with pictures of nude children in them, and even liked one of them enough to inscribe his own message in them, but if only the books were brought up in court I certainly wouldn’t think that’s enough evidence to convict anyone. But given the whole context and other elements of the accusations I’m not willing to give MJ that much benefit of the doubt.
- Comment on Anon defends Michael Jackson 5 months ago:
Definitely not the impression I got from everything I’ve read. The whole sleeping in the same bed with kids, keeping magazines with naked pictures of children, showing porn to kids (perhaps the most common method predators use to try to groom children), and the whole thing with setting up an alarm around his bedroom.
Keep in mind that a lot of the information I’ve seen was from a Wordpress blog bent on defending Jackson in any and every way possible, and yet I still think the case they make is not really convincing. The author speculates about what “true grooming” looks like, and why MJ’s actions supposedly don’t fit their personal expectations of grooming. They also try to justify him keeping those magazines with pictures of naked kids as if that was a normal thing to do.
Maybe if it was just one of these things it could still be justified as MJ just being weird. But it’s all off these things, a clear pattern of behavior and accusations for which the simplest explanation is that MJ was indeed a predator.
- Comment on Anon checks out mobile gaming 6 months ago:
A year ago or so I would have said Clash Royale
But now… nah.
You’ll find plenty of videos that explain this better than I can, but at this point the devs clearly hate the community, the game is more pay to win than ever, evolutions are completely broken and the devs barely care to balance the game anymore.
It’s pretty obvious that at this point they just want to squeeze as much money as possible from the game before it completely dies out.

I’ve seen some people on Twitter complain that their coworkers use ChatGPT to write emails or summarize text. To me this just echoes the complaints made by previous generations against phones and calculators. There’s a lot of vitriol directed at anyone who isn’t staunchly anti AI and dares to use a convenient tool that’s avaliable to them.

lmao no wonder something looked so off to me, the HD verision is even more clearly AI-generated, even more so considering the website it came from.
Interestingly enough even the larger image on the original website fooled most of the AI image detectors, with only one of them (isitai.com) just barely saying that the image is probably AI-generated, while all the others said with >90% confidence that it wasn’t.
