Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't see a reason to discuss if it's possible to to something if the thing that's being done is morally wrong. If you disagree then let's talk about making a white ethno state or if we can do another Holocaust since morality doesn't matter when discussing hypotheticals
You can't generate csam without photos of children to make up the actual child part of the picture. It doesn't matter if you actually use csam you're still using photos of children to make pornography. Unless you think ai could create a van gogh style picture without any van gogh training data (and if you do then you don't know enough about ai generated photos to talk about them with any authority)
What? You can't think of any reason you might want to discuss whether it's possible to do something that would be immoral if it is? I don't believe you're being honest; I think you're deliberately trying to deflect because you've figured out you're wrong and don't want to admit it. Here's an example to illustrate my point: killing people is generally wrong. Let's say there's some discussion about relaxing restrictions on some tool, say knives. Do you really think there's no point in talking about how it'd be possible to more easily commit murder if such restrictions were relaxed? Discussing the possibility of immoral behavior is an activity that can alter the course of entire civilizations. I cannot fathom how you thought that was a reasonable thing to claim.
Ok. Making a white ethnostate would require committing genocide and forcing all ethnic minorities into a state of subjugation, by definition (unless I'm mistaken). This can theoretically be done without naming these groups in the law. For this reason civil rights are a necessary but not sufficient component in preventing an ethnostate from arising.
There. Happy now? If not, then that's too bad, because that's not what I want to talk about.
Sure, but that's not contradicting my position. Have you stopped disagreeing with me?
If you don't understand that then I'm done here because you either don't understand what "ai" does on a fundamental level or you don't understand how big the difference is between adult and child bodies.
This is a gross conversion to be having on something that is so wrong to do on so many levels.
You can't make an ethno state without genocide so it is wrong and pointless to talk about
You can't make ai csam without harming a child so it is wrong and pointless to talk about
Just like how you can't generate a child without pictures of children to base it on you can't generate them naked without pictures of their bodies. There is a reason pedos are attracted to those bodies and not women with no curves/small men.
I work with children, I see them everyday. The difference is so massive that an ai would not be able to approximate it with just photos of adults. Ai doesn't "know" anything it just has photos that it uses to approximate what is being asked based off it's data. Even if you kept describing in more detail what those bodies looked like it wouldn't be able to create it without anything to base it on. It'd be like creating a van gogh style picture with no van gogh training data, no matter how much you try to describe the details of his style you'll never get the ai to make something like it without the training data.
You can keep disagreeing, keep saying "but with more data" but ai can't make anything original, that is a fundamental misunderstanding of it's abilities. If it doesn't have the data it can't accurately do it.
