    Nobody cares until someone rich is impacted. Revenge porn has been circulating on platforms uninhibited for many years, but the second it happens to a major celebrity suddenly there’s a rush to do something about it.

      What?

      This isn’t revenge porn, it’s fakes of celebrities.

      Something that was done for decades, and one of the biggest parts of early reddit. So it’s not “the second” either.

      The only thing that’s changed is people are generating it with AI.

      The ones made without AI (that have been made for decades) are a lot more realistic and a lot more explicit. It just takes skill and time, which is why people were only doing it for celebrities.

      The danger of AI is any random person could take some pictures off social media and make explicit images. The technology isn’t there yet, but it won’t take much longer

      I think it’s more about the abject danger that unregulated AI replication of noteworthy figures represents to basically everything

      Also, revenge porn is illegal in I think every state but South Carolina and even then it might have been banned since I saw that stat

      You think it wasn’t celebrities first? The issue here is specifically Taylor Swift.

      What a braindead take. Both the US and many other intl countries have enacted AI safety and regulation rules, this is an extension of that effort. The idea is to set a precedent for this kind of behavior. They are also looking into how AI is being used for election interference like having AI Biden tell people not to vote.

      Everybody cares, just because it’s not all in place day 0 doesn’t mean nobody does
