You have to trust them though. That's my point.They may say they are funded only by donations and still sell your data.

In fact the first link says the same as I do as the first phrase. When using a VPN, you are moving your trust from your ISP to your VPN provider.

Of course there may be exceptions that are actually free and don't sell your data. But the ones that sell your data will rarely state so.

Idk what either of those are. I don't endorse any VPN. All I'm saying is that it doesn't matter how strong the encryption algorithm is, you still have to trust your provider.

VPNs have the exact same power over you as ISPs. Using a VPN to avoid your ISP is just kicking the can down the road. That's why you better choose a VPN that you trust.

It's not the cryptography you have to trust. It's the other end of the tunnel. A free VPN most probably sells your data. Nobody offers free services for actually free.

The UN is not a society. There are many groups without a leader. But when talking about anarchism, people usually mean anarchist society.

That's like saying FAANG is anarchism, because they talk among themselves without there being a leader.

A LOT of people out there just read whatever tho google AI tells them on their search. They've been trained that the answer is always the 1st non-ad link on Google. And now the thing at the top of a Google search is their LLM answer.

They are the ones in charge of making sure bitbucket stops working every other Thursday.

I'm kinda glad they won't. If I tell you how easy it is to install an ad blocker and you don't, you're just funding my leeching through your data and time that you claim has no value.

Just wait until PP or vox gains power. Which will probably happen since now the cia+mossad will work together to get them into power.

Those are probably assets of a micronation with 0% corporate tax. Idk why Americans should be upset.

Nah. Trump alone cannot drag down the reputation of the whole country. The reason we hate america more now is because trump is so openly corrupt, that we can see how corrupt his buddies are too. And his buddies are the ones that run america.

The entire GOP is doing everything it can to protect trump from any legal consequences. All the big tech companies openly bribe him to get away with the shit they do. His voters are no longer ashamed of the racist and fascist shit that come out their mouths. Pete hegseth and Co. brag about how much they hate their "freeloading" allies.

Bringing down the reputation of America is a team effort. You cannot just throw trump under the bus.

Well yes, the LLMs are not the ones that actually generate the images. They basically act as a translator between the image generator and the human text input. Well, just the tokenizer probably. But that's beside the point. Both LLMs and image generators are generative AI. And have similar mechanisms. They both can create never-before seen content by mixing things it has "seen".

I'm not claiming that they didn't use CSAM to train their models. I'm just saying that's this is not definitive proof of it.

It's like claiming that you're a good mathematician because you can calculate 2+2. Good mathematicians can do that, but so can bad mathematicians.

We have all been children, we all know the anatomical differences.

It's not like children are alien, most differences are just "this is smaller and a slightly different shape in children". Many of those differences can be seen on fully clothed children. And for the rest, there are non-CSAM images that happen to have nude children. As I said earlier, it is not uncommon for children to be fully nude in beaches.
