I understand where you're coming from and I'm pretty much an atheist, but if that happened I would at least consider taking a stroll over to the temple.
Recently I looked into upping my privacy game after learning about everything companies like lexisnexis are collecting about me. It was extremely overwhelming. I'm considering mostly giving up on privacy, with exceptions in a few areas, and pivoting to making that info worthless by doing more to block ads.
I think part of the difficulty discussing this is the discussions usually combine two different things. The production and distribution.
I was informed elsewhere in this thread people can already produce these images/videos on their own machines with no third parties involved or remote processing. I can't think of a single thing that can be done about that so acceptance is all we've got.
Nonconsensual sharing, on the other hand, we can and should do something about. The legal system won't be able to stop it altogether but it can push it to the fringes and stop it from becoming mainstream so any victims wouldn't see fake images/videos of themselves proliferating everywhere.
Some people can, I wouldn't even know where to start. And is the photo/video generator completely on home machines without any processing being done remotely already?
I'm thinking about a future where simple tools are available where anyone could just drop in a photo or two and get anything up to a VR porn video.
I stayed with Sprint through years of them being the shittiest in my area because I was grandfathered into an old plan with free nights starting at 5pm. Just taking non-stop at 6pm like a baller.
I see this as a positive. Instead of being fed content to keep me engaged by an algorithm until I suddenly realize the day is almost over and I didn't really enjoy myself, I reach a point where I feel like I'm done for the day then I make plans, play a game, read, etc.
Now I read the news, fuck around on lemmy a bit, then actually get on with a "real" day.
Like I said to that guy, did you even watch the movie? "Addressing real issues" was core to the movie. Michael B. Jordan's character was motivated by hundreds of years of colonialism, the transatlantic slave trade, and racism faced by black people the world over, and specifically in the U.S.
Depends if you want to eat ass or vag.
