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.

Did he take an oath against common sense? Is he bound by a curse to have bad takes for his entire life? Does he ragebait as a living? What the actual fuck is up with this dude?

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.

Man that title gives me a stroke trying to decipher it.. it almost reads like Tim Sweeney wants Twitter banned but clearly that’s not the case..

Literally this meme again 

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.

sweeney sounds like a pedo

Isn't this the "won't somebody please think of the children" party?

I wonder if his name showed up in the Epstein Files

Oh, they're thinking of 'em all right!

Its a pretty clear title...he loves child porn.

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

Please send me pictures of your mom so that I may draw her naked and post it on the internet.

That is not what CSAM means.

Abuse doesn’t have to by physical you stupid fucking piece of shit. See? My words didn’t even touch you.

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.

Yes and they've been proven to do so. Meta (Facebook) recently made the news for pirating a bunch of ebooks to train its AI. Anna's Archive, a site associated with training AI, recently scraped some 99.9% of Spotify songs. They say at some point they will make torrents so the common people can download it, but for now they're using it to teach AI to copy music. (Note: Spotify uses lower quality than other music currently available, so AA will offer nothing new if/when they ever do release these torrents.) So, yes, that is exactly what they're doing. They are training their models on all the data, not just all the legal data.

I already did the “what words mean” thing earlier. -involves a child -is sexual -is abusive (ie, not art) -is material That’s literally every word of CSAM, and it fits. >We need a term to specifically refer to actual photographs of actual child abuse? Why? You’ve made a whole lot of claims it should be your way but you’ve provided no sources nor any justification as to why we need to delineate between real and AI.
