Why privatise though? Or if you do privatise, pass legislation to make data trading illegal unless you pay the person whose data is bring traded or make it outright illegal. Or figure out a way to make the data completely useless. Perhaps banning advertising and marketing or limiting what they can do. So many possibilities for a better future than this.

Heck, I have a tech literate friend who can't handle Linux but I think if you're willing to be tech support like my husband is for his parents, the transition is easier.

Probably the more desirable dystopian future, to be honest.

How about... People are paid as age verifiers. Win, win. More jobs, lower chance of data being stolen, maybe more awkwardness if you came across your partner on the other end of the teleconference call.

Or, how about this, bring back porn theatres. Industry gets paid from ticket sales, you have a ticket person who can ask for ID.

Also, is porn really that damaging to kids? I remember when there were videos circulating from beheadings and that was far more traumatising.

I feel like even those games will be banned if we don't stop them now. My thoughts are that games like 'I am Jesus' is the end goal here.

JFC, it's real. Someone posted a link to purchase the book off Amazon below. I'm gobsmacked.

What does 'democratise art' even mean? It's not like everyone votes for a specific generated AI image.

Anyway, I think what you mean is Socialism, in terms of AI making 'skills' available for everyone.

But it's not. It's stealing your capability to learn and taking it for itself without paying you for your efforts. Every input you use trains the model. Even though you're not creating art, you're still creating a prompt and you should be paid for your labour.

It's already been said by the operators of this massive scam. They can only operate via theft.

Have you gone to their (Collective Shout) website to check out their successful campaigns? They've taken down a manufacturer on Temu who makes silicon heads used for piercing. Apparently the heads looked too much like children.

Pretty much part of the plot from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

TLDR: make multiple backups

Which ones? Spill the beans.
