Ironically, IBM also does a lot of business with the Israeli military.

Until proven otherwise assume every United States Corporation supports the Likud Government and their genocidal aspirations in one way or another, especially US Tech and Military Corporations.

What part of “I have no sympathy for these people” made you think I care about their excuses?

I have no sympathy for people who do business with these companies anymore. Drivers, stores, and customers who get fucked over the same way time and again by these companies deserve it at this point.

Good thing I never asked them eh?

I think that you mentioned that the application might be narrow, and they wanted to chime in on how it might personally have helped them.

That is how they took it regardless of how explicit I was with my language.

OK so I can definitely see why it would seem pointless or really narrow, but I think this would have actually been very helpful for me and people like me.

They responded to “… it doesn’t seem like something that will have much use…”, ignoring the rest of the sentence “While it has the potential to be a great therapy tool, it doesn’t seem like something that will have much use beyond that.”, in order to tell me I am wrong about it not having therapeutic uses by using their issues as supporting evidence.

Which is an argument, not an addition. There is also nothing wrong with arguing either, I was simply asking why they posed that argument to me.

Why are you arguing that it would be a good therapy tool with me when I stated that already?

While it has the potential to be a great therapy tool, it doesn’t seem like something that will have much use beyond that. It is a cool idea though.

I don’t consider society in such ways because what we are seeing now is not a natural state of being. The global population is under educated, and that is by design. No one is taught how to think critically when it matters and then they are thrown into a world of non sense. Made worse by modern communication tools because people don’t know how to process information and communicate.

It is not about learning to handle new tech responsibly. If we focused on educating our population social media wouldn’t be so damaging.

AI already exists and is being used as a tool to further extract what is left by the people claiming it will be a good thing for the masses. It is not being made in a way to benefit everyone, and it is being built by people who want money and power. No average person will have a better life because AI is running more things, but a select few will be ever richer.

Exactly like what happened when mass production became a thing.

That is the thing that fear mongering against the Government always fails to address.

Yes, banning one thing out of ten that all do the same thing is wrong. Yes, we do not want to give the Government the ability to ban specific sites because history.

But banning or regulating algorithms, which are the actual problem, does not stop social media sites from existing. It just stops them from being able to manipulate massive groups of people by hiding/pushing the information the company wants one to see.

Unfortunately, the majority doesn’t see algorithmic social media as a bad thing because they really do like echo chambers, and politicians don’t ever seem to understand what a “root issue” is.

What Technology based discussion can we have regarding China allowing OnlyFans in the country that does not include any aspect of the political using nothing other than what is presented in the article?

Considering the OP clearly violates rule 2 I wouldn’t take it personally. haha

They are now at the point of calling me a disgusting person who doesn’t belong in civilized society because I am against the production, and use, of child pornography.

Give me a million attempts and I would never have guessed that is the person I would encounter today. haha

The only people who defend child pornography this hard are pedophiles, and I am not going to continue to argue with a pedophile.

I hope you get the help you desperately need before it is too late.

Victimless crimes are not crimes. Thus producing any pornography is a crime only when it involves violating someone’s rights.

You mean like when someone takes a photo of a minor, removes their clothing to make a sexually explicit image, and uses that image to harass, bully, and extort?

Ah, so you are dumb enough to think it’s bad to defend pedophiles who have not committed a crime against a real person?

Taking a picture of a minor, making that image sexually explicit, and using it to harass, bully, and extort that minor is not a “crime against a real person”?

Damn right, I am defending pedophiles who are being persecuted for being born with that deviation alone. I am also defending pedophiles who satisfy that via any means not harming real people. I will do both till my last breath.

You should stop “defending” their “right” to child pornography and start advocating for them to get real help with the very serious mental disorder that causes them to want sexual activity with a minor instead.

If you argument is that they are disgusting and you don’t want them in society, then so are you.

My argument is that they should not be given child pornography. Your argument is that they should.

The disgusting people I don’t want in society are people who use child pornography, and those who defend their use of child pornography.

Kindly see yourself out and take the rest with you.

What this conversation is about has as much to do with child pornography as hentai with loli characters.

Creating sexually explicit images of minors is child pornography.

You just can’t argue without unsubstantiated accusations, can you?

You literally confirmed my claim in your first sentence, and your last.

When real living people are being murdered and abused in droves, you are still worried more about glorified automated Photoshop and accusing its users of being the same as actual rapists.

Production of child pornography is production of child pornography. It does not need to involve rape. Producing child pornography is a separate crime.

Its users are pedophiles because they are producing child pornography. You are defending them.

These are the facts.

It may not be an identical scenario but I still think it would be fair to say that an AI generated image is not as damaging as a real one.

“The deepfakes are often used to extort, harass or bully minors, she says, and are easy to make because of the many sites and apps that will “nudify” an image.”

I wasn’t even supposed to be here today.

It is weird how hard you have been defending the production of child pornography in this thread.

The sexiest.

I agree weekends were a mistake.

It should have always been 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off.
