TucuReborn Apr 4, 2026 +22
Technically not even required. The way an image gen model works, it basically "learns" what things look like based on text tags given to an image. So the model knows what a child looks like, because it was told what images have a child. It knows what b**** look like, because it was told what images have b****. It knows what yoga looks like, because it was told what images have yoga. None of these topics, on their own, is inherently problematic content. But if you have a model that has minimal or no filtering, or you just learn how to prompt in ways to get around the filtering, you can combine things in problematic ways. It is possible that some degree of CSAM is present in training data, but likely not intentionally. Intentionally including it is a liability nightmare, no way around it.
22
ObservableObject Apr 4, 2026 +20
Right, this is always brought up and there are just too many examples of cases where the idea of the model needing to be trained on something in order to make it doesn't make sense. I can go ask for a photo of a cow wearing a space suit on the moon, and there's definitely a model that will spit one out. I can almost guarantee you that no major AI models were trained on pictures of cows wearing space suits. It was, however, trained on a lot of photos of cows. And a lot of photos of space suits, and people, and people in space suits. It can reasonably figure out what the style of a space suit would be, that it covers the major appendages, that it has a helmet where you can see the face. It knows what a cow's head is, so it knows to put the helmet there. It knows what is roughly considered the body, and the appendages, etc. That's *especially* true in cases like the article, where they're doing this to a real person, since i2i and i2v already gives it so much to go off. It already has the entire face it needs, potentially the body shape, etc. And the fact that it is a teenager makes it even easier, since the physical difference between a petite 18 year old (which a lot of AI models were definitely trained heavily on) and a 16 or 17 year old aren't really that crazy, vs like an 18 year old and a 10 year old.

I think news stories like this so a bad job of making us see the reality of the situation. There are billions of people in the world. Hundreds of millions of those are teenage boys. For every one kid that does this, hundreds of millions aren't. 1 kid doing this doesn't mean that boys aren't being educated to be decent humans. I'm fact, it moreso says they are, because if they weren't, this would be an epidemic. Is such a horrible thing to happen that we will hear about it every time. Don't get me wrong, one time is too much, but one time out of hundreds of millions isn't a systematic issue like you are implying it is

Sure, this has always been the answer.

We cant place all our stock into trying to raise every human perfectly. Bad people will always exist, so we need to create safeguards that protect the rest of society from them.

There's lots of regulations we should put on this AI garbage. But I don't think any of them would prevent this. At least not any more than you could regulate someone Photoshopping their classmates head onto a p*** image. This type of stuff is extremely low-effort for AI and can be done on a phone or PC without access to entire datacenter full of GPUs or any models from a major AI slop vendor. In other words, theres not much you can do about some mouthbreather in Russia posting some open source "generate a n*** image" app. I guess all we can really do is appropriately punish people who create and distribute it.

To be fair, running a local open-source model is a HUGE friction point. If a teen wants to troll their classmates using local AI, they need 1) powerful enough PC 2) technical knowledge to setup and use things like ComfyUI 3) patience they don't have. These friction points would reduce the AI abuse by 99%, especially among teens. I just don't see a troll kid watching hours of boring tutorials learning how to use ComfyUI.

Reading an email and then acting on it will be the most financially viable case. Just imagine how many jobs boil down to “protocol converter for natural language to a system”, in other words, read an email, log into a system, enter or retrieve data, and return the email. That must be billions, if not trillions of dollars of work that AI can do easily.

You should look at all the recent vibe coded Windows patches that MS has to roll back within hours of release and get back to us.

Ya companies need to be less ambitious with the AI coding. We use it, but it's always reviewed by people and tested. I think it's really powerful for good coders, but it doesn't replace needing a good coder and process. For the medicine thing, it's antibody design, not like personalized advice to a layperson. Taking data about the surface of pathogens or cancer cells and predicting antibody designs that would do well targeting it. Then manufacturing the antibody for that person to treat the disease.

I’m also frustrated and see many downsides. Though, this is an overly simplistic view of what “AI” broadly can be used for. To give a tangible example that can help millions of people: Weather forecasting. Boring, unsexy, and mundane to most. But machine learning “AI” models have quickly started to catch up to and exceed conventional models we rely on. They take less compute and run faster. This is already a thing and will continue to grow. This can be instrumental in understanding risk for a hurricane’s path, severe weather like tornadoes, or building more accurate climate prediction models. Again, not saying we should go full tilt and just trust tech CEOs on this (we emphatically shouldn’t), but I do think you’re perhaps being hyperbolic in how little use they have in the right context.

crunkadocious Apr 3, 2026 +13
When folks say AI right now, they're mostly referring specifically to LLMs. I don't know which kind of AI you're referencing (machine learning is really broad) but LLMs are what the datacenters are being built for.
13
redyellowblue5031 Apr 3, 2026 +8
I understand that the vernacular use of the term "AI" currently refers largely to LLMs/GenAI kind of things largely due to OpenAIs success in co-opting the term for chatGPT. I'm simply trying to highlight that [really cool stuff](https://www.ecmwf.int/en/newsletter/178/news/aifs-new-ecmwf-forecasting-system) is also in the realm of what this kind of computing can do. If we shrug all "AI" off as "just" LLMs and image/video generators, we're going to miss some pretty awesome opportunities to advocate for truly helpful things.
8
TucuReborn Apr 4, 2026 +5
And even "just" LLMs and image gen are still useful tools. LLMs make excellent rubber duck exercises, as long as you remember it's a rubber duck exercise. Image gen can be useful for placeholders, rapid concept visualization, or even personal use. And we've seen useful advancements in image/video gen being put into other tools, helping speed up and optimize tedious processes.

Here's an idea then, shut down the stupid LLMs popping up everywhere and covert all those data centers to focus on curing cancer.

The technology is already out in the wild. There are open source packages you can download, modify as you see fit, and run on your home PC. It is obviously a lot slower than a big data center, but the end result still gets created. Pandora's box has already been opened. There is no way to stop this at the point of creation. The computer has no morals, anymore than a hammer would. It just does what it's told. The only way to confront this is to address the humans in the loop. Someone has to tell the software what to do. Educate, and punish those people.

its not that its coded, and it doesn't have to be trained on csam. A common misconception is that AI has to be trained on something in order to make it, but the reality is that AI can also understand multiple things and make something out of it. just like how a giraffe mixed with a mouse isn't something the AI is inherently trained on, but can still create a result comparable. Like if we said I only trained an AI with only videos of a man playing a piano, and there was no women playing piano in the dataset, but there was women in the dataset elsewhere, it would still be able to produce a result with a women playing a piano because it could take two concepts "a women" and "playing piano" and understand the context.

Cubey42 6 days ago +6
Well that's just it. When they say "policies and internal safeguards" most of that is just layers of interfacing with the actual model. Just like how before you get to drive a car (let's say AI is the car) you still have to buy it, get insurance, and a license. (There are multiple clever ways to guardrail in the dataset but they aren't ironclad) But basically, it's all just frontend that helps keep a model from doing things they don't want it. The issue is much like cars, if you have it you can mod it however you please, but that's usually why big companies don't really share the full car and just let you test drive it around their track (because there are guardrails there) but there are plenty of cheaper cars that cost nothing and can be suped up however you want, because at the end of it all, it's just math.

Oh this is Illinois, they just updated state law to cover AI generated images both criminally and allowing victims to sue in civil court. Plus they updated the CSAM statute to also include AI generated images. Edit: In Illinois, non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images—often called "revenge p***"—is illegal under 720 ILCS 5/11-23.5. It is typically a Class 4 felony, punishable by 1 to 3 years in prison and up to $25k in fines. Sharing these images is illegal even if the subject originally consented to the photo/video being taken. Additionally the CSAM statute was updated to include Creating or sharing AI-generated child p*** is a Class 1 felony (4–15 years in prison). Possession with intent to view is a Class 3 felony (2–5 years). Subsequent offenses can become Class X felonies. Additionally victims of non-consensual image sharing can pursue civil remedies in parallel with any criminal case, allowing a victim to be awarded the greater of actual proven losses or $10,000, profits received by the defendant for selling any images, court awarded punitive damages, and making the defendant pay for the plaintiff's attorney fees and court fees. Victims can also seek injunctive relief with court ordered takedowns and restraining orders against defendants. A lawsuit must be filed within 2 years of discovery that an image had been shared or even the threat of an image being shared. Court documents can be filed using a pseudonym to protect the victim's identity. Victims also have rights under the Illinois Crime Victims Compensation Act(Victims may also be eligible for up to $45k in state assistance to cover therapy, lost wages, or relocation costs, provided they file a police report and cooperate with authorities.).

if you heard about the kid who punched a nazi at a school protest against ICE - it's that school.

Anyone feels like the girl's dad's response is...a little weird? > “Honestly, I have no ill will towards that young man or his family. Kids are kids, and they do dumb things just like adults do. So, especially at that age, they don’t comprehend the severity of what they do,” Daniels said. If that had been my teen daughter and someone had been making and spreading n*** images of her to her classmates, teenage boy or not that's not the reaction I would have.

He devalued his own daughter, and is making excuses for the boy who exploited her. Gee….I wonder who he voted for in the last presidential election.

I think it's a very reasonable comment. And he's right. He could be seething with rage on the inside, but also knows that nothing will change or be fixed by him screaming or attacking the kid.

Prosecute the perpetrators and the AI slop merchants that enabled them.

Ya, I don’t get why the AI company isn’t having to answer for how it was used to create child p***

I mean child p*** does seem to be the crowning achievement of generative image AI. So its not exactly shocking. Wasn't Grok like the biggest engine for CP for awhile there? Is it still?

I can easily imagine a kid doing this for an edgy laugh with how available this tech is now. It’s a scary time to be a kid.

How about we start imprisoning the AI CEOs? I bet that would put an immediate stop to this shit

Genuinely think we need to make harsh laws around this and consider it CSAM, send any distributors to juvie until 18 at minimum. There needs to be a consistent, hardline message that this *is* illegal. They can do some kind of program for sex offenders and be threatened with the label for five years, something like that.  Maybe this sounds crazy, but we NEVER punish people who do this kind of thing sufficiently, in my opinion. Why is it that sex crimes end up with such low sentences compared to, like, having a gram of weed? Honestly I think this Epstein shit shows there’s a top down problem in this country with pedos and degens who have an expectation they will never be punished.  F*** that, no more ‘boys will be boys’ this poor 13 year old girl got punished before they did & th school clearly tried to sweep it all under the rug. My dad would have backed me up 100% if I punched a boy who did such vile shit to me, he’d have to be held back himself lol

It actually is already considered CSAM under current US laws. Basically, if you can't tell when looking whether it's real or not, it's supposed to automatically be considered CSAM.

No, it's been the definition for ages as far as I understand it.

Because police are mostly bullies and abusers themselves. Look at their reported domestic violence rates and understand that's a fraction. Even if it's illegal they selectively decide who to arrest and charge.

I feel like making this something that labels you a sex offender would just water it down like the claims that public urination can cause it

It’s also a parenting problem, because boys are becoming more predatory, earlier. This keeps happening. It’s always boys targeting girls, to exploit them and ruin their lives, simply for existing. “The number of victims is more than 40 girls and ranges from high school to fifth-grade.” When you have a country that elects a rapist and pedophile, and a political party who puts men in power regardless of credible r*** and pedophilia accusations, you create a perfect storm of female exploitation and zero accountability.

You can be rest assured that any scandal at an American high school ends with the perpetrators being rewarded and the victim punished.
