    The central goddamn point. *Depicting* things happening does not mean they *actually happened.* The entire point of the term CSAM is to describe crimes which literally occurred. It is material... from the sexual abuse... of children. Do y'all not understand why it's kinda fuckin' important to have a term for that specific concept?

    Do you think that generated depictions of the sexual abuse of children are ok in any context?

      You think these billion-dollar companies keep hyper-illegal images around, just to train their hideously expensive models to do the things they do not want those models to do?

      No, I think these billion dollar companies are incredibly sloppy about curating the content they steal to train their systems on.

        I think it's more a: "Guy who enjoys making child porn on xhitter gets angry when decent people want to ban it." type situation. If I see someone arguing for something then that's because they want it. Or want to use it.

            What a reprehensible, disingenuous representation of what he actually said. I'm not a fan of the guy, but PC Gamer is trash as well. Scary to see how people here are reacting just because it's about X and AI.

                  What a weird thing to saw by the man whose company is 35% owned by the Chinese government. His argument, the words said and not implied, isn’t directly about csam, it’s about political censorship. Wonder how his Chinese overlords are taking that statement.

                    Absolutely insane take. The reason Grok can generate CP is because it was trained on it. Musk should be arrested just for owning that shit.

                                It's called being so effective at marketing and spending so much money on it that people believe you don't do nothing.

                                  Nothing done to your *likeness* is a thing that happened *to you.* Do you people not understand reality is different from fiction?

                                    I am going to be an absolute crank about this: CSAM means photographic evidence of child rape. If that event did not happen, say something else. The *entire point* of this term is to distinguish the go-to-jail imagery stemming from unambiguous crimes, versus any form of made-up nonsense. Bart Simpson is not eligible. Bart Simpson does not exist. Photorealistic depictions of real children can be hyper illegal, but unless they are *real,* they're not CSAM. Say something else. Otherwise we'll have to invent some even less ambiguous term from *evidence of child abuse,* and the fuckers downvoting this comment will also misappropriate that, to talk about shit that does not qualify.

                                    That is not what CSAM means.

                                      It's a crime, but it's not the same crime as taking the actual clothes off the actual girl. She was not physically abused. She was not even *involved.*

                                        So he's saying CSAM is free/protected speech? Got it. Dude had absolutely no reason to out himself as a paedophile, but that seems to be exactly what he's done. And for what? Epic is in legal battles to get onto other companies' platforms (Google's Android and Apple's iOS) without paying the fees outlined in the terms and conditions every other developer had to agree to. I'm not saying he's 100% wrong in that opinion, but outing himself as a paedophile by stating CSAM is protected speech only hurts his argument in the other case, because he's saying he could put CSAM on his own platform (i.e. Fortnite, a game aimed at children and teenagers) and he'd be against you censoring his "free" and "protected" speech. I just see no good outcomes for what Sweeney is fighting for here. To address the political opponents angle, no one was calling for a Twitter/X ban before the CSAM problem, even when our political opponents were up there (i.e. before and after Trump was banned and un-banned).

                                          ‘I take child abuse seriously but also think it’s fine to generate nude pictures of real life children.’ Idk man. It’s a weird fuckin thing to admit to.
