  • Good arguments. I think I am convinced that both cases should be illegal.

    If the pictures are real they probably increase demand, which is harmful. If the person knew, then the action therefore should result in jail and forced therapy.

    If the pictures are not, forced therapy is probably the best option.

    So I guess it being illegal in most cases simply to force therapy is the way to go. Even if it in one case is "victimless". If they don't manage to plausibly seem rehabilitated by professionals, then jail time for them.

    I would assume (but don't really know) most pedophiles don't truly want to act on it, and don't want to have those urges. And would voluntarily go to therapy.

    Which is why I am convinced prevention is the way to go. Not sacrificing privacy. In Norway we have anonymous ways for pedophiles to seek help. There have been posters and ads for it a lot of places a year back or something. I have not researched how it works in practice though.

    Edit: I don't think the therapy we have in Norway is conversion therapy. It's about minimizing risk and helping deal with the underlying causes, medication, childhood trauma etc. I am not necessarily convinced that conversion therapy works.

  • It can generate combinations of things that it is not trained on, so not necessarily a victim. But of course there might be something in there, I won't deny that.

    However the act of generating something does not create a new victim unless there is someones likeness and it is shared? Or is there something ethical here, that I am missing?

    (Yes, all current AI is basically collective piracy of everyones IP, but besides that)

  • First off, I am sex positive, pro porn, pro sex work, and don't believe sex work should be shameful, and that there is nothing wrong about buying intimacy from a willing seller.

    That said. The current state of the industry and the conditions for many professionals raises serious ethical issues. Coercion being the biggest issue.

    I am torn about AI porn. On one hand it can produce porn without suffering, on the other hand it might be trained on other peoples work and take peoples jobs.

    I think another major point to consider going forward is if it is problematic if people can generate all sorts of illegal stuff. If it is AI generated it is a victimless crime, so should it be illegal? I personally feel uncomfortable with the thought of several things being legal, but I can't logically argue for it being illegal without a victim.

  • Not really open source, but want to mention it anyways. Take a look at the Norwegian browser Vivaldi. I made the switch recently and am really happy with it. Their privacy policy seems good, and they have a clear no AI stance. Their android browser is by far the best android browser from a UX standpoint in my opinion.

    I might be biased as a Norwegian 😉

  • Proton has stopped using their Mastodon account

  • I think the reason is that every time they post something, someone there points out the Andy Yen thing. Thats basically the only comments. So its detrimental to their business.

  • This thread, I haven't checked your profile. Why would you pretend to be an asshole? And why want to be one? There is enough assholes in the world as it is, please don't be one of them. It is a choice 😊

    You are on Lemmy, we're supposed to make it a nice place, so that society can flourish and not be destroyed by big tech social media. There is enough challenges ahead already.

  • AI chatbots unable to accurately summarise news, BBC finds

    Jump

  • So there is not any trustworthy benchmarks I can currently use to evaluate? That in combination with my personal anecdotes is how I have been evaluating them.

    I was pretty impressed with Deepseek R1. I used their app, but not for anything sensitive.

    I don't like that OpenAI defaults to a model I can't pick. I have to select it each time, even when I use a special URL it will change after the first request

    I am having a hard time deciding which models to use besides a random mix between o3-mini-high, o1, Sonnet 3.5 and Gemini 2 Flash

  • Why do you say that? I have had no reason to doubt their reporting

  • I have been pretty impressed by Gemini 2.0 Flash.

    Its slightly worse than the very best on the benchmarks I have seen, but is pretty much instant and incredibly cheap. Maybe a loss leader?

    Anyways, which model of the commercial ones do you consider to be good?

  • Waiting..

    Jump

  • Me too. Not going to make something as simple as this difficult.

    I want to leave, I leave. Giving others the opportunity to say goodbye is polite in my opinion. A wave to the group and a quick round of hugs if that makes sense.

    At a minimum one should say goodbye to the host.

  • Kagi search engine won’t bill you next month if you forget to use it

    Jump

  • It's not about privacy.

    But I can address that first. It's hard to argue that Kagi can be trusted with your data in my opinion, because they - unlike DDG and Startpage handles payments from you. So they know exactly who you are and what you search for. You have to trust them when they say they don't log. This in itself is enough for me not to use them.

    Besides that the main problem is that Yandex is a Russian company. Russia is currently invading a democratic peaceful independent nation.

    A lot of countries including my own are sanctioning Russia and Russian companies. I feel that indirectly supporting a Russian company is contributing to the Russian war economy. The sanctions are there for a reason, to hurt the Russian economy, so that they are pressured to stop the war.

    Kagi has a choice and they have decided to stay on the wrong side of history. They have multiple explanations online, but none of them is sufficient in my opinion. Staying "apolitical" is a political choice when there is an agressor.

    Jump

  • FYI: Kagi uses the Russian search engine Yandex as well and have no plans of changing it.

    Mentioning it, as to some it might be an issue indirectly financially supporting a Russian company.

    Just search for Kagi Yandex and you will get plenty officiak sources

  • What's your opinion in bias and censorship in LLMs?

    Jump

  • Thank you for a thorough explanation, really interesting

  • What's your opinion in bias and censorship in LLMs?

    Jump

  • I have tested Deepseek and have found it to be pretty open about censorship in at least many topics. I asked it some questions about China and it mentioned issues with Xinjiang, Uyghurs, and Taiwan. I did not bring it up, or try to trick it into talking about it. It was mentioned as some future challenges China will face.

    It did not share explicitly what those issues were, but that those are sensitive issues.

    In other words it does acknowledge that there is censorship, I doubt that it is fully open about all the censorship, and potential bias if it has any baked in.

    I did not experience any obvious bias or censorship.

    I guess questions regarding Tiananmen square would be censored though, but how not asked.

  • I know we should not objectify people, and I rarely do.

    That said.. As a heterosexual man I got to say that this is one of the first times I have truly seen how handsome Elvis was. God damn.

  • If you could improve PeerTube, what would you improve?

    Jump

  • Making some sort of monetization scheme in which creators are paid more per view than YouTube, would solve a lot.

    Then creators might as well spend the extra couple of minutes to also upload to PeerTube, because they make more money per view there.

  • What is something you only experienced once and would like to experience again?

    Jump

  • Yep, dangerous stuff. I once had some minor surgery done. Afterwards I was sitting outside in a patient waiting room in a bed waiting for the drugs to stop working.

    I brought my laptop and watched some episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was hilarious and super comfortable.

    I can never do that again, it's obviously super addictive. The medical professionals are right in being really strict when giving out opiates in my country.
