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

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

Steal 1 movie, you're a murderer, steal 1million, you're a conquerer, steal 'em all? You're a goooooooood~

[–] Akanes@startrek.website 17 points 1 day ago

Too late, but it's ok, i'll only keep it for personal use

[–] markz@suppo.fi 3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

You wouldn't steal a car.

You wouldn't right click and save an NFT.

Piracy. It's a crime.

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

[–] Part4@infosec.pub 8 points 1 day ago

Pirated copyright material for training ai is measured in Zuckerbytes, not zettabytes.

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

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

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...

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 90 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

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 92 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Dignity doesn't matter if it wins the case.

Welcome to Zucc's Fucc & Succ

Zuck’s Fuck and Suck sounds like his product’s effects on society.

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

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

Its the best datasets for human anatomy.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day 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 1 day 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.

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.

Heh. Also what Spock said while "training".

[–] mangaskahn@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Video generation, copyright matching, CSAM detection, those are just the first few that pop into my head.

Have you not heard that everyone is now doing NSFW chatbots? Meta is just trying to catch up with Grok and Chatgpt

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

But it's AI, so itsa aaaaalllll fine

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's better to say child sex abuse material (csam), the term "child porn" both legitimizes the conent, and infers children could ever be active and consenting participants

sexualised content involving children is abuse and should be labled as so

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

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

that's mafia level response

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

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