Yeah, it certainly still feels icky, especially since a lot of those materials in all likelihood will still have ended up in the model without the original photo subjects knowing about it or consenting. But that's at least much better than having a model straight up trained on CSAM, and at least hypothetically, there is a way to make this process entirely "clean".

There are legit, non-CSAM types of images that would still make these changes apparent, though. Not every picture of a naked child is CSAM. Family photos from the beach, photos in biology textbooks, even comic-style illustrated children's books will allow inferences about what real humans look like. So no, I don't think that an image generation model has to be trained on any CSAM in order to be able to produce convincing CSAM.

There's also this part:

But Johansson's public statement describes how they tried to shmooze her: they approached her last fall and were given the FO, contacted her agent two days before launch to ask for reconsideration, launched it before they got a response, then yanked it when her lawyers asked them how they made the voice.

Which is still not an admission of guilt, but seems very shady at the very least, if it's actually what happened.

Except discord is not an ads-based platform? I've never seen a third party ad on there

Maybe we should clarify what a slur is? Because to my knowledge, a slur is a term that has such negative connotations that it is considered offensive and discriminatory against a certain group of people in itself, without any additional context. You simply do not use it unless you want to insult or offend someone from that group. If a term is only offensive based on how it's used, it's just a regular insult, not a slur.

So, "can be used as a slur" is not a thing. A word is either a slur, or it isn't. Neither trans nor cis are slurs at the moment. I've never seen trans be used as an insult before. And even cis is almost never meant as a direct insult, merely as a reminder that someone is talking about things they have no lived experience with and should probably check their privilege. Yes, that can be in a demeaning way, but the goal there is not to hurt you, but to make you piss off. It's an act of self protection. Nobody is seeking cis people out and starting to call them names unless they insert themselves into trans spaces and start talking shit about trans issues. If you're doing that, and getting told off insults you or hurts your feelings, then, frankly, that's a you problem.

...yeah, it is. What are you implying?

The prefix cis- is Latin and means on this side of.

Just as "trans-" means on the other side of. It's literally just the opposite of trans.

Except the email in question is not a newsletter. Companies often use separate mail list services for important product announcements and similar things as well. Obviously there should be a process in place that removes you from these external services too when you delete your account, but I assume this is what broke down in this case

It's not quite that simple, though. GDPR is only concerned with personally identifiable information. Answers and comments on SO rarely contain that kind of information as long as you delete the username on them, so it's not technically against GDPR if you keep the contents.

Seems like clients vary wildly in how they interpret this markup. This is how it shows on Sync:

AI is just impossibly far away.

Sure it's pretty far away, but it's also moving at break neck speed. Last year low-res spaghetti-eating Will Smith body horror was the pinnacle of ai generated video, today we're already generating videos that take at least a second look to determine that it was AI generated. The big question is at what point that improvement rate will start to level off.
