    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.

    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…

      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

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

      You can’t make half of those without training it on porn.

        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.
