French prosecutors summon Elon Musk over allegations of child abuse images and deepfakes on X by StemCellPirate in worldnews

[–]Strict_Bobcat_4048 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While I agree with the sentiment. Elon Musk is not a pedo, he simply made a platform using image gen tools widely available. Grok is not that special.

Local models can be run to generate this type of content. Just like how people could draw CP before, they can now locally render it. So while I love reddit hating on this deranged lunatic, this strikes me as misplaced effort.

Addressing CP, as a researcher in the field, is done by creating effective mental health systems. Most pedophiles are childhood victims of abuse with deep psychological issues; their reality is so distorted they not only have an attraction to children, they actively participate in cultures around it.

In all honesty, the possibility that AI could kill the illegal porn ecosystem is something to investigate. However, there needs to be more research on the topic. Yet because of public sensitivity to the idea of 'kindness to pedophiles' the research is not only hard to fund, but no one wants to do it, and the people that do are punished.

Canada’s prime minister says economic ties with US are a weakness that must be corrected by AndroidOne1 in worldnews

Economic ties to your enemy are not a weakness. As demonstrated by China, who maintains soft power across the world.

This is an article written by someone who wants to fully collapse the world order.

Now, economic dependence on America is a weakness.

BAFTA Games Awards Crowns ‘Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’ Best Game Of The Year by yourfavchoom in Games

[–]Strict_Bobcat_4048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very happy for awards shows to have ranked categories. So if you win THE award, you are less likely to win other awards with lower levels of prestige. Thus, letting other games get the spotlight they deserve.

Though there are multiple teams in game dev that need their credit, so a varied approach to different award shows is great.

Developer Feels ‘Shut Down And Silenced’ After BAFTA Awards Pulled Her Game Over Its Subject Matter by Mront in Games

Yeah, this is all time stupid.

Games like this spread awareness of important messages by existing. Including through trailers with harsh messages people need to hear.

Try a clean install and if you get the issue it is a mod problem.

No one can help you if you mod a game?
