Enough Musk Spam

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Musk Opposing this is deliberately to frame this as a "anti child porn law" so that people don't realize what's also under the hood.

The first question you should ask is why is Trump signing this into Law?

Actually the first question you should ask is what does this law actually say*? Cuz it doesn't just ban AI child porn.

The Act makes it unlawful in certain circumstances for any person to "use an interactive computer service"—an existing term broadly construed to cover most online applications and services—to "knowingly publish" either an "intimate visual depiction" or a "digital forgery" of an identifiable individual.

So as you can see, this bill is clearly a guise for him to legalize outlawing AI fakes of him and/or to allow him to call evidence of his crimes AI and arrest the people who documented it.

The law in question is a Minnesota State Law, not a federal one. Trump isn't involved. Pretty sure that Walz is who would be signing it into law.

Whatever you found in Congress is concerning, though.
