Sexually explicit AI-generated images of Taylor Swift have been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) over the last day in the latest example of the proliferation of AI-generated fake pornography and the challenge of stopping it from spreading.
X’s policies regarding synthetic and manipulated media and nonconsensual nudity both explicitly ban this kind of content from being hosted on the platform.
There wouldn’t be much debate about it if it was, would there?
Sure there can be. People debate crypto being good and that’s roundly recognized as ecocide. People “debate” who counts as people all the time. People can be wrong and loud.
Alright, in future I will try to remember to immediately reject any metaphors you bring into play rather than attempt to engage with them.
Not saying you have to do that, but if you don’t it’s rather untoward to bring it up later as though it’s a problem.
Ethereum switched to proof-of-stake a year and a half ago, it no longer has a significant environmental impact.
Oh wait, this is an analogy, isn’t it?
No, just pointing out who’s in the “loud but wrong” camp on that one. If ecological concerns are why you think crypto is bad, well, that’s not clear cut any more.
You want to keep going with this analogy you brought up, then?
