All of that can be equally true for cloud infrastructure. There is argument that the cloud company is more incentivizing to use 2 year olds to save labor costs.

In the cloud admin world, no one knows you're a toddler.

On-prem allows you 100% control on the downtime. You build internal trust by deciding when to upgrade, availability of hot swap, rollback, etc.

Cloud is just trust and it's out of your control if they break that trust.

With all the rounds of layoffs they've had, their remaining employees would need to be quite stupid to give a shit what this disloyal piece trash says.

We already allow simulated rape in tv and movies. AI simply allows a more graphical portrayal.

Correct. This quickly approaches thought crime.

What about an AI gen of a violent rape and murder. Shouldn't that also be illegal.

But we have movies that have protected that sort of thing for years; graphically. Do those the become illegal after the fact?

And we also have movies of children being victimized so do these likewise become illegal?

We already have studies that show watching violence does not make one violent and while some refuse to accept that, it is well established science.

There is no reason to believe the same isn't true for watching sexual assault. There are been many many movies that contain such scenes.

But ultimately the issue will become that there is no way to prevent it. The hardware to generate this stuff is already in our pockets. It may not be efficient but it's possible and efficiency will increase.

The prompts to generate this stuff are easily shared and there is no way to stop that without monitoring all communication and even then I'm sure work around would occur.

Prohibition requires society sacrifice freedoms and we have to decide what weee willing to sacrifice here because as we've seen with or prohibitions, once we unleash the law on one, it can be impossible to undo.

The official reason they dropped it is because there were security concerns. The more likely reason was the massive outcry that occurs when Apple does these questionable things. Crickets when it's Google.

The feature was re-added as a child safety feature called "Comminication Saftey" that is optional on a child accounts that will automatically block nudity sent to children.

Interesting how you managed to spin their accountability as a bad thing. It sounds like you prefer companies that refuse to squirm.

Except humans aren't just any apes, humans are great apes.

Given the topic, this distinction is highly relevant.

Yep. Memory is really silly. It's why journaling is important. But journaling itself can be deceiving if one isn't recording truths or is leaving out critical components.

I often wonder what the world would become if we had technology that auto journaled and was immutable. Would we be still so easily be led astray or would we contort ourselves in some other way to cling to our biases and cognitive distortions.

Anything that requires a subscription is a no-go. Especially when it's running on my hardware.

Round about way to defund them, force them to spend funding on maintaining overpriced junk.

Through the blood offering, their capitalist spirit will be released into the ether for The Gods to redistribute to us, their worthy followers.

We will honor these sacrifices by engraving their names in the bricks we will use to build the temple to The Gods has has been foretold in these gold tablets I found that only I can see and read.

The tablets say if we fail to follow these edicts we will be doomed to live in an ever warming planet on fewer resources as punishment. The seas will rise. The cities will burn. The rivers will flood.
