Excuse me? I am very offended by your insinuations here. It honestly makes me not want to share my thought and opinions at all. I am not in any way interested in this kind of content.

I encourage you to read my other posts in the different threads here and see. I am not an apologist, and do not condone it either.

I do genuinely believe AI can generate content it is not trained on, that's why I claimed it can generate illegal content without a victim. Because it can combine stuff from things it is trained on and end up with something original.

I am interested in learning and discussing the consequences of an emerging and novel technology on society. This is a part of that. Even if it is uncomfortable to discuss.

You made me wish I didn't..

I really don't know enough about the subject or how that therapy works. I doubt that it is conversion therapy, but Ii really don't know. I would assume it's handling childhood trauma, medications etc.

Both therapy and if satisfying urges through AI generated content, is both something that should be answered scientifically. If there is research then that should be the basis for what decisions is taken, if there is a lack of research then more research should be the next step.

I see the issue with how much of a crime is enough for it to be okay, and the gray area. I can't make that call either, but I kinda disagree with the black and white conclusion. I don't need something to be perfectly ethical, few things are. I do however want to act in a ethical manner, and strive to be better.

Where do you draw the line? It sounds like you mean no AI can be used in any cases, unless all the material has been carefully vetted?

I highly doubt there isn't illegal content in most AI models of any size by big tech.

I am not sure where I draw the line, but I do want to use AI services, but not for porn though.

Good arguments. I think I am convinced that both cases should be illegal.

If the pictures are real they probably increase demand, which is harmful. If the person knew, then the action therefore should result in jail and forced therapy.

If the pictures are not, forced therapy is probably the best option.

So I guess it being illegal in most cases simply to force therapy is the way to go. Even if it in one case is "victimless". If they don't manage to plausibly seem rehabilitated by professionals, then jail time for them.

I would assume (but don't really know) most pedophiles don't truly want to act on it, and don't want to have those urges. And would voluntarily go to therapy.

Which is why I am convinced prevention is the way to go. Not sacrificing privacy. In Norway we have anonymous ways for pedophiles to seek help. There have been posters and ads for it a lot of places a year back or something. I have not researched how it works in practice though.

Edit: I don't think the therapy we have in Norway is conversion therapy. It's about minimizing risk and helping deal with the underlying causes, medication, childhood trauma etc. I am not necessarily convinced that conversion therapy works.

It can generate combinations of things that it is not trained on, so not necessarily a victim. But of course there might be something in there, I won't deny that.

However the act of generating something does not create a new victim unless there is someones likeness and it is shared? Or is there something ethical here, that I am missing?

(Yes, all current AI is basically collective piracy of everyones IP, but besides that)

First off, I am sex positive, pro porn, pro sex work, and don't believe sex work should be shameful, and that there is nothing wrong about buying intimacy from a willing seller.

That said. The current state of the industry and the conditions for many professionals raises serious ethical issues. Coercion being the biggest issue.

I am torn about AI porn. On one hand it can produce porn without suffering, on the other hand it might be trained on other peoples work and take peoples jobs.

I think another major point to consider going forward is if it is problematic if people can generate all sorts of illegal stuff. If it is AI generated it is a victimless crime, so should it be illegal? I personally feel uncomfortable with the thought of several things being legal, but I can't logically argue for it being illegal without a victim.

I am happy people are giving good feedback to you. Empathy is something that you can get more of over time, it's not static.

Do you feel that the rich deserve all that money and power while you and everyone you know have to work hard for simple necessities? Or does that unfair situation make you a bit angry? It makes me.

You might not personally care about many of these issues emotionally, but you can think rationally.

What happens if the poorest countries in the world becomes uninhabitable due to climate change? Refugees, lots and lots of refugees. No other refugee situation can even closely compare to this.

What happens if you get disabled? A safety net is nice. You don't have to care about them, but a guaranteed dignified life for them and yourself is to everones benefit.

You might not care about LGBT rights, but that's exactly why they should get them. Why care, it doesn't hurt you in any way?

You might not think what the republicans are doing will affect you, but it will. They are cutting the government to the bone at the moment, this will in turn mean the government will provide worse services to you.

They are also implementing tariffs. The new tariff on goods from Europe basically mean that a thing produced in Europe now will cost you 25% more to buy. The same tariffs will be implemented on Canada and Mexico soon. It could surprise you how much is imported from Europe, Canada and Mexico. The thought behind it is that American goods will be priced more competitively. But in the end, you still have to pay more..

This stuff affects you. You don't have to do much, really. Just vote democrat if this makes sense to you. You don't have to be politically active. Just go to the booths and vote once in a while.

Just don't fight against peoples freedom. Feel free to think egotistically though, if you really think about it you probably stand to gain from voting for the left. Unless you are rich of course, then republican might be the way to go. There is a reason the rich love republicans. There are some concepts that might not make immediate sense, which is why you should want higher taxes, the government isnt that ineffective, and that immigration is probably not really that big of a deal. The higher taxes bit is basically that everyone pools their money together, the rich have to pour a lot more into the pool than the average, then the government spends the money on services for all. So you might put in 100$ and someone making twice as much as you 250$. You end up with services which is worth 175$.

When you feel the pull towards the right, consider if what you believe or hear is actually true or makes sense. A lot of the time it is not. The most common "enemy" for the right is immigrants, and now lgbt. Check statistics and do some research yourself when in doubt.

Anyways good luck on your soul searching, and sorry for the long rant/lecture 😉

Not really open source, but want to mention it anyways. Take a look at the Norwegian browser Vivaldi. I made the switch recently and am really happy with it. Their privacy policy seems good, and they have a clear no AI stance. Their android browser is by far the best android browser from a UX standpoint in my opinion.

I might be biased as a Norwegian 😉

404media is great as always. Interesting comments about the legality of this.

I think the reason is that every time they post something, someone there points out the Andy Yen thing. Thats basically the only comments. So its detrimental to their business.

And another point, as a man a lot younger than say Salma Hayek. I'd happily be her young handsome piece of action. I would also get to be with an extremely attractive woman.

The same goes for these women and Leonardo Di Caprio. He is objectively an attractive man. It's also bragging rights. I was in a relarionship with x-celeb. Of course many women dream of being with him, and of course a lot of them are gorgeous.

I think they are both having a great time, and see no reason to judge.

I fully agree let's care about the things that actually matter and actually hurt people.

I'd call this a win and love. Being open to being wrong is a great quality.

I see some people here not recognizing that this is a great development, or enough or whatever. These things take time for society to adjust to. Going from being skeptical / negative to a full blown ally is unreasonable to expect from someone in a short timeframe.

Being open to change and different opinions is something we should always support. That path might be rocky and hard, sometimes almost impossible.

For the sake of diplomacy and making him even more supportive seriously consider getting that "second opinion", even though it might feel valueless for you. He just wants to make sure that you don't make a huge irreversible mistake.

Makeup, dressing in clothes and taking some hormones or whatever is one thing, irreversible surgery is another thing. So I kinda get where he is coming from, but you probably know what's best for you.

Anyways, good luck, and I wish you the best going forward, and am happy this is going in the right direction for you 🌈❤️

So there is not any trustworthy benchmarks I can currently use to evaluate? That in combination with my personal anecdotes is how I have been evaluating them.

I was pretty impressed with Deepseek R1. I used their app, but not for anything sensitive.

I don't like that OpenAI defaults to a model I can't pick. I have to select it each time, even when I use a special URL it will change after the first request

I am having a hard time deciding which models to use besides a random mix between o3-mini-high, o1, Sonnet 3.5 and Gemini 2 Flash

Why do you say that? I have had no reason to doubt their reporting

I have been pretty impressed by Gemini 2.0 Flash.

Its slightly worse than the very best on the benchmarks I have seen, but is pretty much instant and incredibly cheap. Maybe a loss leader?

Anyways, which model of the commercial ones do you consider to be good?

Contacts gives you full field of vision, and they don't get dirty. If you are lucky you only have to take them off and on for switching once per month and can sleep with them. I am one of those, and can buy the cheapest contacts too.

In other words, always good vision, with full FOV

Me too. Not going to make something as simple as this difficult.

I want to leave, I leave. Giving others the opportunity to say goodbye is polite in my opinion. A wave to the group and a quick round of hugs if that makes sense.

At a minimum one should say goodbye to the host.

It's not about privacy.

But I can address that first. It's hard to argue that Kagi can be trusted with your data in my opinion, because they - unlike DDG and Startpage handles payments from you. So they know exactly who you are and what you search for. You have to trust them when they say they don't log. This in itself is enough for me not to use them.

Besides that the main problem is that Yandex is a Russian company. Russia is currently invading a democratic peaceful independent nation.

A lot of countries including my own are sanctioning Russia and Russian companies. I feel that indirectly supporting a Russian company is contributing to the Russian war economy. The sanctions are there for a reason, to hurt the Russian economy, so that they are pressured to stop the war.

Kagi has a choice and they have decided to stay on the wrong side of history. They have multiple explanations online, but none of them is sufficient in my opinion. Staying "apolitical" is a political choice when there is an agressor.

FYI: Kagi uses the Russian search engine Yandex as well and have no plans of changing it.

Mentioning it, as to some it might be an issue indirectly financially supporting a Russian company.

Just search for Kagi Yandex and you will get plenty officiak sources

Thank you for a thorough explanation, really interesting
