It's super funny to me that they named it "WanX" haha

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

Kudos to the English speaking guy on the team who pushed that under the radar. That has got to be intentional.

it fulfilled its name mandate %100

The year is 1997. A young boy is about to watch a porn video for the first time on a grainy VHS tape. An older version of himself from the far off year of 2025 appears.

Me: "You know, in the future, you'll make your own porn videos."

90s me: "Wow, you mean I'll get to have lots of hot sex!?!?"

Me: "Ha! No. So Nvidia will release this system called CUDA..."

I thought this was going to go Watchmen for a moment. Like...

It is 1997, I am a young boy, I am jerking off to a grainy porno playing over stolen cinemax.

It is 2007, i am in my dorm, i am jerking off to a forum thread full of hi-res porno.

It is 2027, i am jerking off to an ai porno stream that mutates to my desires in real time. I am about to nut so hard that it shatters my perception of time.

The AI camera will still zoom in on the guys nuts as you’re about to bust tho.

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Why ask it for gay porn if it doesn't?

Then another company called Deepseek will release a system called low level programming that replaces CUDA.

[-] Sans_Seraph@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

What I find incredible is that they named this thing WanX, which can alternatively be pronounced Wanks. Nominative Determinism at its finest

That's disgusting! Where?

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Oh my God! That's disgusting! AI porn online!? Where!? Where do they post those!? There's so many of them, though. Which one?

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Fucking disgusting unethical shit. Tell me where to find it so I can avoid it pls.

[-] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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 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've been thinking about this recently too, and I have similar feelings.

I'm just gonna come out and say it without beating around the bush: what is the law's position on AI-generated child porn?

More importantly, what should it be?

It goes without saying that the training data absolutely should not contain CP, for reasons that should be obvious to anybody. But what if it wasn't?

If we're basing the law on pragmatism rather than emotional reaction, I guess it comes down to whether creating this material would embolden paedophiles and lead to more predatory behaviour (i.e. increasing demand), or whether it would satisfy their desires enough to cause a substantial drop in predatory behaviour (I.e. lowering demand).

And to know that, we'd need extensive and extremely controversial studies. Beyond that, even in the event allowing this stuff to be generated is an overall positive (and I don't know whether it would or won't), will many politicians actually call for this stuff to be allowed? Seems like the kind of thing that could ruin a political career. Nobody's touching that with a ten foot pole.

Let's play devils advocate. You find Bob the pedophile with pictures depicting horrible things. 2 things are true.

  1. Although you can't necessarily help Bob you can lock him up preventing him from doing harm and permanently brand him as a dangerous person making it less likely for actual children to be harmed.

  2. Bob can't claim actual depictions of abuse are AI generated and force you to find the unknown victim before you can lock him and his confederates up. If the law doesn't distinguish between simulated and actual abuse then in both cases Bob just goes to jail.

A third factor is that this technology and the inherent lack of privacy on the internet could potentially pinpoint numerous unknown pedophiles who can even if they haven't done any harm yet be profitably persecuted to societies ultimate profit so long as you value innocent kids more than perverts.

i have no problem with ai porn assuming it's not based on any real identities, i think that should be considered identity theft or impersonation or something.

Outside of that, it's more complicated, but i don't think it's a net negative, people will still thrive in the porn industry, it's been around since it's been possible, i don't see why it wouldn't continue.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Identity theft only makes sense for businesses. I can sketch naked Johny Depp in my sketchbook and do whatever I want with it and no one can stop me. Why should an AI tool be any different if distribution is not involved?

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago

revenge porn, simple as. Creating fake revenge porn of real people is still to some degree revenge porn, and i would argue stealing someones identity/impersonation.

To be clear, you're example is a sketch of johnny depp, i'm talking about a video of a person that resembles the likeness of another person, where the entire video is manufactured. Those are fundamentally, two different things.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Again you're talking about distribution

I am going to make this statement openly on the Internet. Feel free to make AI generated porn of me as long as it involves adults. Nobody is going to believe that a video of me getting railed by a pink wolf furry is real. Everyone knows I'm not that lucky.

[-] Technus@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Fortunately, most of my family is so tech illiterate that even if a real video got out, I could just tell them it's a deepfake and they'd probably believe me.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
