    Torrent the Dark Knight to watch at home along and the media companies will sue you for infinity billion dollars. Openly torrent every movie known to man to train an AI and the media companies don’t do shit.

      Well in this case they are trying to do something… This whole “personal use” thing is Meta’s response to a copyright claim against them.

    An even more “glaring” defect, Meta argued, is that Meta’s terms prohibit generating adult content, “contradicting the premise that such materials might even be useful for Meta’s AI training.”

    Oh yes, this is true because meta, or any other company for that matter, has never ever in the history of ever changed its terms of service…

      Gen AI porn and shitposts are the only 2 decent use cases I’ve seen of gen AI.

        Just to add I’ve seen a full 10 second clip of AI gay porn and it was very, very realistic, with only some minor things that set it off as fake. It’s gotten to the point where I’m afraid I’m cumming to clankers now.

      An article I read when this came up a couple of months ago said that basically porn was the best way to show AI unclothed human movement. Watching clothed humans move, you can get the basics but can’t see how the muscles are working. If you show it a Hollywood movie, they might see occasional shirtless scenes or artfully lit and blocked out sex scenes. Porn has the greatest amount of naked people moving their bodies.

                what’s funny is that onlyfans was supposed to be an alternative for patreon but it kinda evolved into what it is today by capitalizing on market demand. I remember back in 2018-2019 lots of folks in the culture industry seriously said that onlyfans will be THE functional business model for artists and writers to build and engage with their communities and sustain themselves on creativity alone. Flashforward 2020 - tits and ass!

    Where did they get the idea that that’s a more respectable response?

    EDIT: Doesn’t/shouldn’t work for their liability either. Vocabulary fail on my part.

            If you or I can be held responsible for such activities from our homes, why give google an exemption?

            It would depend on jurisdiction of course, many of us live places that will give us(with help of a lawyer…) a bit of an out for guest wifi or TOR exit nodes, but ultimately, you know google is going to settle for little more(or less) than it would have cost them to buy these works at retail, whereas you or I would also get slapped with thousands of dollars extra(per item?) in fines and legal fees.

            They can afford to pay for the porn, but they chose to go the “we shouldn’t have to because its smut” route, and not bother trying to say their employees are responsible for downloading random books/movies/whatever for personal use. Do they get to use this out for CP?

            Also, unlike you or I, they have logging in place, such that they know which employees did what. Not saying they should name-and-shame, but they could(and should) easilly eat the cost and pass it through to those employees, whether it also comes with HR disciplinary action ornot.

      It’s better to say child sex abuse material (csam), the term “child porn” both legitimizes the conent, and infers children could ever be active and consenting participants

      sexualised content involving children is abuse and should be labled as so

      I would not be surprised if Meta advertised such a thing to prospective employees as a legitimate benefit of the job. A built-in VR goon cave with 30 TB of material available. Limit 1 hour per person, bookings required 6 months in advance. Sessions subject to monitoring for security and training purposes. May contain trace amounts of Zuck.

        Then you should be less credulous. What is told to prospective employees is effectively public information.
