Same which means I know that being latino doesn't mean you can't be racist as fuck. Please tell me how you saying "dei" in assassins creed has nothing to do with the black guy being a main character.
I've been quite happy with my Steam Deck - both as a gaming console and as a secondary computer when it's docked, but for newer titles I picked up a Rog Zephyrus M16 (2023) last year....
I tried nobara with my lappy and it just did not work with my GPU (gtx960m). No matter what i tried and installed it just wouldn't work. I switched over to pop-os and it's been working like a charm since. So YMMV with whatever os you try so don't be afraid to switch it up to another if one isn't doing it for you
You ignored the second part of their post. Even if it didn't use any csam is it right to use pictures of real children to generate csam? I really don't think it is.
The difference between the things you're listing and SAM is that those other things have actual utility outside of getting off. Were our phones made with human suffering? Probably but phones have many more uses than making someone cum. Are all those things wrong? Yea, but at least good came out of it outside of just giving people sexual gratification directly from the harm of others.
The images were created using photos of real children even if said photos weren't CSAM (which can't be guaranteed they weren't). So the victims were are the children used to generate CSAM
Real children are in training data regardless of if there is csam in the data or not (which there is a high chance there is considering how they get their training data) so real children are involved
So is the car manufacturer responsible if someone drives their car into the sidewalk to kill some people?
Your analogy doesn't match the premise. (Again assuming there is no csam in the training data which is unlikely) the training data is not the problem it is how the data is used. Using those same picture to generate photos of medieval kids eating ice cream with their family is fine. Using it to make CSAM is not.
It would be more like the doctor using the nazi experiments to do some other fucked up experiments.
I would argue that the person using the model for that purpose is further victimizing the children. Kinda like how with revenge porn the worst perpetrator is the person who uploaded the content, but every person viewing it from there is furthering the victimization. It is mentally damaging for the victim of revenge porn to know that their intimate videos are being seen/sought out.
I think it should be illegal to make porn of a person without their permission regardless of if it was shared or not. Imagine the person it is based off of finds out someone is doing that. That causes mental strain on the person. Just like how revenge porn doesn't actively harm a person but causes mental strafe (both the initial upload and continued use of it). For scenario 1 it would be at step 2 when the porn is made of the person. For scenario 2 it would be a mix between step 3 and 4.
Thanks for sharing! I'm going to disagree with pretty much everything, so please stop reading here if you're not interested.
I'm not one to stop because of disagreement. You're in good faith and that's all that matters imo
Revenge porn damages someone's reputation, at the very least, which is a large part of why it's illegal.
Someone keeping those images for private use doesn't cause harm, therefore it shouldn't be illegal.
I believe consent is a larger factor. The person who made it consented to have their photos/videos seen by that person but did not consent to them sharing it.
That's why it's not illegal to call someone a slut (even though that also damages reputation)
Someone doing something creepy for their own use should never be illegal.
What if the recording was made without the person's consent. Say someone records their one night stand without the other person's knowledge but they don't share it with anyone. Should that be illegal?
It can be, if that constitutes defamation or libel. A passing statement wouldn't, but a post on a popular website absolutely could. It all comes down to the damages that (false) statement caused.
If the person is a slut it wouldn't be libel but it would still damage reputation. The person being a slut is true but calling them one still damages their reputation. If you release a home made video of a pornstar it would still be illegal even though it's not something that would damage their reputation.
The reason for the illegality is the lack of consent not the reputation damage.
That depends on whether there was a reasonable expectation of privacy. If it's in public, there's no reasonable expectation of privacy.
Even in a 1 party consent state recording someone while you are having intercourse with them is illegal without their consent, because we make exceptions for especially sensitive subjects such as sex.
To go along with that I also believe that people who uploaded photos of themselves/their children did not consent to having their photos used to make sexual content. If they did it would be another matter to me entirely.
Edit: I also would like to say (and I really am sorry for bringing them into this) but from what you said you think it would be okay (not socially acceptable but okay/fine) for someone to take pictures of your kids while they're at the park and use that to make porn. Really think about that. Is that something you think should be allowed? Imagine someone taking pictures of them at walmart and you ask what they're doing and they straight up tell you "I like how they look I'm going to add them to my training data to make porn, don't worry though I'm not sharing it with anyone" and you could do jack shit about it without facing legal consequences yourself. You think that is okay?
Even if the person is a porn star, the damage is that the porn is coming from somewhere other than the approved channels, thus the damages
The damages would be the mental harm done to the victim. Most porn stars have content available for free so that wouldn't be a reason for damages
That's the reasonable expectation of privacy standard (that applies inside houses when in bedrooms, bathrooms, etc, even if it's not your house). If you're doing it in public, there's no reasonable expectation of privacy, so I think a court would consider filming in that context to be legal.
The expectation of privacy doesn't apply to one party consent States but they still can't record sexual activities of someone without their consent
If you want control over how how content is used, don't make it available for personal use.
I don't think people who uploaded pictures on Facebook consider that making it available for personal use
I really don't want to live in a society with the surveillance necessary to prosecute such a law.
Did i say anything about surveillance? Just because something is made illegal doesn't make it actively pursued, it just makes it so if someone gets caught doing it or gets reported doing it they can be stopped. Like you'd be able to stop the person from doing that to your children. Or if someone gets their house raided for something else they can be charged for it. Not every person who has real csam creates it or shares it, many times they just get caught by another charge then it gets found. Or the geek squad worker sees it on their computer and reports them.
It would give people avenues to stop others from using photos of their children in such a way. You wouldn't need any extra surveillance
Freedom means letting people do creepy things that don't hurt anyone else.
Do you think it's okay for someone to have real csam? Let's say the person who made it was properly prosecuted and the person who has the images/videos don't share it, they just have it to use. Do you think that's okay?
It's the next logical step for the pearl clutchers and amounts to "thought crime."
I seriously doubt they would create any more surveillance for that than there already is for real CSAM.
The geek squad worker could still report these people, and it would be the prosecution's job to prove that they were acquired or created in an illegal way.
That would just make it harder to prosecute people for CSAM since they will all claim their material was just ai. That would just end up helping child abusers get away with it.
Possession itself isn't the problem, the problem is how they're produced.
I think the production of generated CSAM is unethical because it still involves photos of children without their consent
No, because that increases demand for child abuse. Those pictures are created by abuse of children, and having getting access to them encourages for child abuse to produce more content.
There is evidence to suggest that viewing csam increases child seeking behavior. So them viewing generated CSAM would most likely have the same if not a similar result. That would mean that even just having access to the materials would increase the likelihood of child abuse
The survey was self reported so the reality is probably higher than the 42% cited from the study
I likewise want a legal avenue for these people who would otherwise participate in child abuse to not abuse children.
The best legal avenue for non-offending pedophiles to take is for them to find a psychologist that can help them work through their desires. Not to give them a thing that will make them want to offend even more.
If you boot it up they give you the order to play it in. There is only 1 problem and it's at the beginning. They tell you to watch 358/2 before playing 2 DO NOT DO THAT IT SPOILS A MAJOR PLOT IN PART 2
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment (look for the English translation of the psp version) (IS and EP are 2 parts of the same story you have you play them in that order)
Persona 3 Portable (p3p is more beginner friendly then p2 but imo the p2 duology is better)
God of War (chains of Olympus and ghost of Sparta)
Ah yes, the super chad of its console generation, tons of great games, dvd playback, and PS1 compatibility! What's not to love about this legendary system?...
The GameCube was stronger than the ps2 it was just limited by the disc format. Compare Resident Evil 4 on the two. The GameCube version had hair physics for Leon and the cutscenes were rendered in real time, while they had to pre-render them on ps2 (which also made alternate costumes better on GameCube since Leon would wear them during cutscenes)
I hate that term, trunk doesn't inherently mean on the back. It's just a container for storage. Going by that naming convention a traditional car trunk should be called a bunk (back + trunk)
He killed those people. I guess you could argue since he knows about the dragon balls that they could wish them back after, but he still straight up killed them to get goku to fight.
Tbh I don't think vegeta really was a good guy until he fought kid buu. He was pacified sure and maybe even on the path to being good, but that was because his target was gone and to his knowledge was never coming back. That's why I love his turn to majin so much. It's a hardcore backslide because his target came back and if it wasn't for that he never would have realized how much everything on earth actually meant to him.
I don't consider him good after going for fat buu because he wasn't being selfless yet. Him + goku could have taken buu on but he felt like HE needed to be the one to finish the job. His sacrifice was hollow since it (despite what he said) was for him. If it really was for everyone he would have let goku join to guarantee a win.
It wasn't until he fought kid buu that he was actually being selfless. He let himself get wailed on so goku could charge up knowing he both stood no chance and could potentially be permanently erased since he was already dead. The "you are number one" speech is the conclusion to his story and his redemption.
This became a bit of a ramble but I love Vegeta's story and could probably keep going if I had the time
Just realized that "upside down" means "the up side is down", making it upside down
