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

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 60 points 2 days 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 18 points 2 days ago

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

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

You wouldn't steal a car.

You wouldn't right click and save an NFT.

Piracy. It's a crime.

Ah, so the anti pirate lobby still pirated the composers music. Just not for the famous ad.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Basically its inception tbh

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

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

[–] Bloefz@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

I think they already came

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Zuck, you dirty wanker.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 92 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 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 94 points 2 days 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?

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...

[–] besselj@lemmy.ca 75 points 2 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours 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 38 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

Humanity is fucked letting these companies exist.

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

But it's AI, so itsa aaaaalllll fine

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days 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

It's kinda weird how spwsific you have to be with certain models to not make them vwry very young looking people

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago

yes, and epstein trafficked all those children to himself.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (7 children)

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

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Its the best datasets for human anatomy.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 21 points 2 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 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.

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

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

[–] vane@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

that's mafia level response
