Why do you think Facebook exists?

Basically its inception tbh

Omegle gooner? I’d believe it.

Where did they get the idea that that's a more respectable response?

EDIT: Doesn't/shouldn't work for their liability either. Vocabulary fail on my part.

[–] markz@suppo.fi 93 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Dignity doesn't matter if it wins the case.

Zuck’s Fuck and Suck sounds like his product’s effects on society.

They didn't claim it was respectable, they claimed it made them not liable? Where'd you get this idea?

I think it's more respectable to provide unfiltered internet than it is to profit off someone else's work without paying them.

Did anyone check on the Meta engineers in the goon cave?

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I would not be surprised if Meta advertised such a thing to prospective employees as a legitimate benefit of the job. A built-in VR goon cave with 30 TB of material available. Limit 1 hour per person, bookings required 6 months in advance. Sessions subject to monitoring for security and training purposes. May contain trace amounts of Zuck.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Wouldn’t need any material. Hooks up to your fb and you can pick which of your pals to hook up to the milking table.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

Then you should be less credulous. What is told to prospective employees is effectively public information.

The Matagoon cave sounds like something from the Unix Surrealism universe.

Mandatory gooning during the dailies at meta.

Torrent the Dark Knight to watch at home along and the media companies will sue you for infinity billion dollars. Openly torrent every movie known to man to train an AI and the media companies don't do shit.

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Steal 1 movie, you're a murderer, steal 1million, you're a conquerer, steal 'em all? You're a goooooooood~

this comment is oc, DO NOT steal

"hey steve, did you download a shitton of porn while on the company network?"
"Uuuhhhhh, it's for ai training"

[–] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 50 points 2 weeks ago

Humanity is fucked letting these companies exist.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 34 points 2 weeks ago

An even more “glaring” defect, Meta argued, is that Meta’s terms prohibit generating adult content, “contradicting the premise that such materials might even be useful for Meta’s AI training.”

Oh yes, this is true because meta, or any other company for that matter, has never ever in the history of ever changed its terms of service...

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 32 points 2 weeks ago

I can only assume the MPAA will funnel vast sums of money into helping prosecute these thieves? Any minute now right?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

One wonders how much child porn was in there....

But it's AI, so itsa aaaaalllll fine

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's kinda weird how spwsific you have to be with certain models to not make them vwry very young looking people

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's better to say child sex abuse material (csam), the term "child porn" both legitimizes the conent, and infers children could ever be active and consenting participants

sexualised content involving children is abuse and should be labled as so

that's mafia level response

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Hahaha, what a story, Mark! Anyway, how's your sex life?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 14 points 2 weeks ago

So their AI is so technologically weak that they can’t even blame it for all the porn downloads, eh. SMH.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Ok, but why would anyone bother training AI on porn? Seriously, I don't understand

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Gen AI porn and shitposts are the only 2 decent use cases I've seen of gen AI.

You can't make half of those without training it on porn.

An article I read when this came up a couple of months ago said that basically porn was the best way to show AI unclothed human movement. Watching clothed humans move, you can get the basics but can’t see how the muscles are working. If you show it a Hollywood movie, they might see occasional shirtless scenes or artfully lit and blocked out sex scenes. Porn has the greatest amount of naked people moving their bodies.

Video generation, copyright matching, CSAM detection, those are just the first few that pop into my head.

Have you not heard that everyone is now doing NSFW chatbots? Meta is just trying to catch up with Grok and Chatgpt
