    How is he wrong?

    What images can I make in Grok that can’t be done with Gemini or GPT?

    I bet hes kind of right, here in the UK we just lost a whole bunch of rights and privacies online under the guise of “protect the kids” but its kind of weird to be piping up against it when theres actually protections needed.

      This isn’t really a change, though, I’m pretty sure. People have been able to make photo-realistic depictions a lot longer than AI has existed and those have rightfully been held to be illegal in most places because the confusion it causes makes it harder to stop the real thing.

        I think the difference here is that Twitter has basically installed a “child porn” button. If their reaction had been to pull the product and install effective safeguards, it wouldn’t be as bad. It’s a serious fuckup, but people screw up every day.

        Instead, they’ve made it so you can pay them to have access to the child porn generator.

        Its not really a change, so much as its suddenly incredibly easy for anyone of any ability to do it as much as they want with near seamless results.

        Every year its got easier and easier to do it more and more believably, but suddenly all you have to do is literally ask the computer and it happens. The line has to be drawn somewhere.

    Just look at that guy. If you were to ask 1000 people to describe what they thought a typical CSAM viewer looked like and averaged their responses together you would get something like this photo of Tim Sweeney.

    If my political opponents are actually sexual predators and their speech is sexual harassment, I’m down with censoring them. That should be the least of their problems.

    There’s this old adage, “never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity”.

    Tim Sweeney is very ignorant. However, he’s also pretty malicious. His fedoraèd waffling should probably be taken exactly for what it is.

      I absolutely hate hanlon’s razor. It is only ever used to try to protect obviously malicious people.

    That’s not even what gatekeeping means. Unless he’s trying to stand up for the universal right to participate in the child porn fandom.

        Oh that’s an even worse (and probably accurate) interpretation.

    If there is one gate that definitely needs keeping, it is the kindergarten’s gate. Don’t let those creeps get away with it…

    Did Covid-19 make everyone lose their minds? This isn’t even about being cruel or egotistical. This is just a stupid thing to say. Has the world lost the concept of PR??? Genuinely defending 𝕏 in the year 2026… for Deepfake porn including of minors??? From the Fortnite company guy???

      For some reason Epic studios just let Tim Sweeney say the most insane things. If I was a shareholder I’d want someone to take his phone off him.

      Unironically this behaviour is just “pivoting to a run for office as a Republican” vibes nowadays.

      Its no longer even ‘weird behaviour’ for a US CEO.

    Who else just did a search on the Epstein files for “Tim Sweeney”?

    I didn’t find anything on jmail, but there’s still a lot that haven’t been released, and a lot of stuff is still redacted.
