As bad as this guy is (literally just one of THE worst guys), I can never get over how his wife is a pediatrician and they have three daughters and she’s just along for the ride? The damage that family does to millions of children, and especially girls, through their direct action and inaction is astonishing.
I really feel bad for parents like you. What a horrible era to live through. Younger people like me, who don’t have any direct siblings or significant others don’t have much to worry about. But I can’t even imagine what it must be for people with families.
Other ads animated a photo of a 14-year-old Instagram influencer “showing off her new sports club uniform” into “a video of her performing oral sex.”
Ok that’s enough internet for now. Please alert me when it is safe to return.
Internet? That’s enough humanity. We had a… run. Time to burn it all down.
fwiw, I think this is their actual endgame: use digital to convince people this isn’t a small cabal of the ultrawealthy causing so much of this harm.
They say dictators don’t need majority support, only a majority of people doubting themselves.
At least 56,575 children are sexually abused every year.
That’s according to U.S. child protective services records.
The number is staggering—yet it only reflects child sexual abuse that is recognized, reported, and found likely to have occurred against children ages 0-17.
FBI crime data shows that 51% of reported rape is perpetrated against people ages 0-19.
That’s approximately 61,754 young rape victims every year, including our most vulnerable children, adolescents navigating middle and high school, and young adults just beginning to move through the world with more independence.
Don’t wait standing
(I dont know if this translates, in argentina we day “get yourself a chair” or “don’t wait standing” meaning that something wont happen)
Ah, in English we say “don’t hold your breath” for that, although sometimes it’s also used for things that might happen eventually but it will take a long time.
This country hates its children. And all vulnerable people. We continually treat them as disposable, exploitable resources instead of people deserving of protection and care.
Today’s kids regularly have to rehearse finding cover from a hail of bullets at school, try to prepare themselves for an unlivable ecology, and wonder if any random picture of them will instantly be turned into porn via the new basis of our country’s economy. Capitalism is going great.
Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

The dirty secret that drives new technology: it’s porn
The Guardian, 24 years ago
I’m terrified to think of what Oppenheimer did with the first A-bomb then…
He unleashed his Little Boy all over Hir! (oshima)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core
The demon core was a sphere of plutonium–gallium alloy that was involved in two fatal radiation accidents when scientists tested it as a fissile core of an early atomic bomb.
Scientists referred to this flirtation with a nuclear chain reaction as “tickling the dragon’s tail”, based on a remark by physicist Richard Feynman.[12][13]
It was a case of an unfortunate mistranslation due to the lack of awareness among historians about the thriving scalie scene at the Manhattan Project.
There’s a nonzero chance oligarchs are pushing this to normalize pedophilla.
Like how Ghislane Maxwell was super involved in early reddit and their main draw for a long time was “legal” sexualization of children.
Especially since it’s a common accusation they make against “the left”. Most of the time when they accuse, it’s a confession.
pushing this to normalize pedophilla.
They don’t really need to manufacture how normalized pedophilia is in our society. They’re simply capitalizing on it.
Uk what sucks? We knew AI was capable of it from start. Hell, we even saw this happen on twitter. And yet what we did? Just let it happen. Gave a slap on the wrist to elon, and did nothing to address this.
I remember when I first saw nano banana I immediately deleted all my profile photos, and looked up on wayback machine to see if any of my photographs were archived or not. Yeah it’s kinda late and it must be somewhere on some hidden archive, but atleast I’ve bought myself some time. Since that day I have maintained a strict policy amongst my friends and family that I’m not going to be in photographs that are going to be posted online.
Also I want to be clear, I’m not saying it’s corporations responsibility alone. It’s responsibility of individual people to not use it. This is freaking crime. But I’m pissed how world is trying to make it the new normal, and regulators have been too sluggish to respond to it.
What is nano banana? I’m afraid to Google it
Google’s image generation model. Yeah that’s a horrible name.
Oh, I see. Yeah, terrible name.
It’s what they call my pecker.
That’s unfortunate. Sorry about your dick, dude.
no. there is like tons of porn from hot women who are fine making their money that way.
They aren’t running ads for CSAM because no one pays for it.
