This will go as well as the asshats who trademarked Taco Tuesday.

I think the tariffs might actually have one niche benefit of mitigating scalping. It's going to be even more expensive for scalpers to get their hands on an actual product now, and people are already struggling to justify the increased retail costs, as it is. I'd have to imagine it'll be much harder for scalpers to find a buyer these days, as anybody who can afford scalpers' fees plus tariffs likely wouldn't have any issue getting their hands on one, to begin with.

It's far too late for that, Elon; we want your fucking head now.

Margarine Trailer Queen: "What do you mean there's another pope?!"

Other than just making everything generally faster, what would be a use-case that really benefits the most from something like this? My first thought is something like high-speed cameras; some Phantom cameras can capture hundreds, even thousands of gigabytes of data per second, so I think this tech could probably find some great applications there.

Normies are only just now learning about it.

Just for what it's worth, you don't need CSAM in the training material for a generative AI to produce CSAM. The models know what children look like, and what naked adults look like, so they can readily extrapolate from there.

The fact that you don't need to actually supply any real CSAM to the training material is the reasoning being offered for supporting AI CSAM. It's gross, but it's also hard to argue with. We allow for all types of illegal subjects to be presented in porn; incest, rape, murder, etc. While most mainstream sites won't allow those types of material, none of them are technically outlawed - partly because of freedom of speech and artistic expression and yadda yadda, but also partly because it all comes with the understanding that it's a fake, made-for-film production and that nobody involved had their consent violated, so it's okay because none of it was actually rape, incest, or murder. And if AI CSAM can be made without actually violating the consent of any real people, then what makes it different?

I don't know how I feel about it, myself. The idea of "ethically-sourced" CSAM doesn't exactly sit right with me, but if it's possible to make it in a truly victimless manner, then I find it hard to argue outright banning something just because I don't like it.

Ergorotic literature.

always give them a wide berth because there's no way to know if they see you and they'll often behave erratically and unpredictably in crosswalks

All of this applies to dealing with human drivers, too.
