Hahaha, what a story, Mark! Anyway, how's your sex life?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

"define 'sex'. no, wait... define 'life'."

Well, someone at facebook needs to come collect their jerk-off trophy.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Zuck, you dirty wanker.

[–] Bloefz@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I think they already came

yes, and epstein trafficked all those children to himself.

As an aside, a great deal of CSAM is shared through Facebook, they've been asked by CSAM survivors to stop this and they said no. The advocacy survivor group Phoenix 11 submitted six formal questions in the US Congress to old Zuckface fuckface about it, as he deployed end to end encryption which makes this possible, which he dodged like the lying fuck he is. Zuck would sell it himself if it made him a whole dollar and nobody should forget that.

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I completely disagree with your take here.

The idea that we shouldn't have services with end to end encryption because "think of the children" is an absurd take to have.

I think you're being upvoted because its anti Zuckerberg, but seriously people, think about the long term consequences of not being able to chat without being spied on.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that argument is shit wrapped in a candy shell. Too many people'll swallow it without so much as a blink. 🥲

[–] sleen@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

A case of indoctrination by the government, that's what they expect - a stream of false narratives utilising children as the weapon.

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Which is frustrating as every single time the government wanted to expand surveillance on regular citizens, preventing this is always touted as the justification. Now we have all the surveillance and the monopolies are like 'Nah, exploitation is profitable'.

Zuck's just an omega-level gooner, swearsies!

[–] markz@suppo.fi 90 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why do you think Facebook exists?

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Basically its inception tbh

Omegle gooner? I’d believe it.

"So just to get this straight, you're saying you have downloaded 152 .... zettabytes .... of porn for your own personal use?"

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"....Zetabaytes? no. it was yottabytes"

Where did they get the idea that that's a more respectable response?

EDIT: Doesn't/shouldn't work for their liability either. Vocabulary fail on my part.

[–] markz@suppo.fi 91 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Dignity doesn't matter if it wins the case.

Welcome to Zucc's Fucc & Succ

They didn't claim it was respectable, they claimed it made them not liable? Where'd you get this idea?

Did anyone check on the Meta engineers in the goon cave?

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

You're joking but it was 2400 movies over 7 years downloaded individually and not in bulk like they blatantly did with books. Apparently over 60% of adults admit to have viewed porn at work so yeah... someone should probably check on the engineers in the goon cave.

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I would not be surprised if Meta advertised such a thing to prospective employees as a legitimate benefit of the job. A built-in VR goon cave with 30 TB of material available. Limit 1 hour per person, bookings required 6 months in advance. Sessions subject to monitoring for security and training purposes. May contain trace amounts of Zuck.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wouldn’t need any material. Hooks up to your fb and you can pick which of your pals to hook up to the milking table.

Nah, Zuck doesn't let a drop go to waste.

Torrent the Dark Knight to watch at home along and the media companies will sue you for infinity billion dollars. Openly torrent every movie known to man to train an AI and the media companies don't do shit.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Well in this case they are trying to do something... This whole "personal use" thing is Meta's response to a copyright claim against them.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 0 points 6 days ago

It's not a personal Jellyfin server, it's training material for a possible future AGI. It's going to know a lot about terrible horror movies.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago

"hey steve, did you download a shitton of porn while on the company network?"
"Uuuhhhhh, it's for ai training"

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 48 points 1 week ago

Humanity is fucked letting these companies exist.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 32 points 1 week ago

I can only assume the MPAA will funnel vast sums of money into helping prosecute these thieves? Any minute now right?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 week ago

An even more “glaring” defect, Meta argued, is that Meta’s terms prohibit generating adult content, “contradicting the premise that such materials might even be useful for Meta’s AI training.”

Oh yes, this is true because meta, or any other company for that matter, has never ever in the history of ever changed its terms of service...

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

One wonders how much child porn was in there....

But it's AI, so itsa aaaaalllll fine

that's mafia level response

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 14 points 1 week ago

So their AI is so technologically weak that they can’t even blame it for all the porn downloads, eh. SMH.

[–] 843563115848@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago

Liars. So many liars these days...

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Ok, but why would anyone bother training AI on porn? Seriously, I don't understand

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Gen AI porn and shitposts are the only 2 decent use cases I've seen of gen AI.

You can't make half of those without training it on porn.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Just to add I've seen a full 10 second clip of AI gay porn and it was very, very realistic, with only some minor things that set it off as fake. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid I'm cumming to clankers now.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 2 points 6 days ago

At this point, I'm betting you don't hear news about image models as the cutting edge is in anime titties and celeb nudes.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Its the best datasets for human anatomy.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

An article I read when this came up a couple of months ago said that basically porn was the best way to show AI unclothed human movement. Watching clothed humans move, you can get the basics but can’t see how the muscles are working. If you show it a Hollywood movie, they might see occasional shirtless scenes or artfully lit and blocked out sex scenes. Porn has the greatest amount of naked people moving their bodies.
