      It’s almost like people are the problem and will use any excuse to do what they want. So yeah, let’s ban technology, even though as you said people find ways to be shitty anyway, because after all, won’t somebody think of the children?

        Yeah, people are the root cause of almost all problems that people have to deal with.

        And we’ve been dealing with them for a long time and one way to deal with them is to develop norms and rules as a society (which at some point we decided to enshrine into laws).

        So no, it’s not that we need to “ban technology”. But a good first step is to say “hey, if you generate porn of someone in your class and distribute it to others in your school then that’s a pretty shitty thing to do”. Another good step is probably to try to get some consensus on that statement. And if enough people agree with this, then we can start thinking of putting some actual rules behind it.

        Societies have been able to handle these kinds of nuances for many different topics for a very long time. So stop pretending that it’s all just “oh, you all just want to ban the new stuff”. It might take a while to get it all worked out and some steps along the way will almost certainly be missteps, but it’s not like this always ends badly.

          Of course they can be, that wasn’t the point. Drm and ip law are not examples to be held up as things to imitation though

      This stuff can be run locally. Its not something that can be stopped by just going after some service providing it. It may make it slightly less convenient to access, but if anyone wants to access it it’ll be available. Pandora’s box has been opened and it can’t be closed.

          Sure, it’s illegal. They can’t do anything about it unless you do something else wrong though. I wish they could just magically detect where that content was, but they need a search warrant to find it. Talking about stopping this software will lead to nothing, but sharing this content (real or generated) is where attention should be focused.

        The goal isn’t to stop deepfakes of random people. Its to limit AI access to regular people so it can be horded by select groups of people. Using threats against children to stir up the masses is the oldest play in history. The upper crust needs to make laws against how the rest of us use these tools.
