Raping kids has unfortunately been a thing since long before the internet. You could legally bang a 13 year old right up to the 1800s and in some places you still can.

As recently as the 1980s people would openly advocate for it to be legal, and remove the age of consent altogether. They’d get it in magazines from countries where it was still legal.

I suspect it’s far less prevalent now than it’s ever been. It’s now pretty much universally seen as unacceptable, which is a good start.

Given the “we spared no expense” attitude to the rest of the data these things are trained on, I fear that may be wishful thinking…

Lieutenant George: The war started because of the vile Hun and his villainous empire-building.

Captain Blackadder: George, the British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganiki. I hardly think that we can be entirely absolved of blame on the imperialistic front.

Let me guess.

A bunch of kids who have never seen COBOL before use AI to rewrite it all into a language they also can’t read, do the bare minimum of checks, and then run millions of payments through it.

This from the genius bar whose hard drive “overheated” when they ran a query on 60,000 records.

One of their main contributors are in US sanctioned regions (Russia) so they can’t access it.

I saw this in a Canadian article as well.

People check to see if they’re American and then turn them upside down so the next person doesn’t have to look it up. Not so much a protest as a warning to others who care.

Yeah, because when you do the Israel lobby crawls out and calls them a Jew hating Nazi.

There’s going to be a lot of shocked Pikachus when the inevitable enshittification hits, and suddenly they charge to host all the documentation and wiki pages. All that barely maintained stuff will just vanish overnight.
