Snip:
Deepfake nudes and “revenge porn” must be removed from the internet within 48 hours or technology firms risk being blocked in the UK, Keir Starmer has said, calling it a “national emergency” that the government must confront.
Companies could be fined millions or even blocked altogether if they allow the images to spread or be reposted after victims give notice.
Amendments will be made to the crime and policing bill to also regulate AI chatbots such as X’s Grok, which generated nonconsensual images of women in bikinis or in compromising positions until the government threatened action against Elon Musk’s company.
Critical support to Starmer on this one thing I guess…
I missed this got a source?
Oh it’s a saga. It’s been all over the Orange site all last week. tl;dr; OpenClaw bot tries to get PR into OSS matplotlib, maintainer rejects, bot publishes hit piece on maintainer, shenanigans ensue. That article also links to future articles in the saga at the top. As a chef’s kiss an Ars Technica article about the incident was written by AI and fabricated even more stuff before it was pulled.
Shit like this makes me so god damn paranoid. Ops like this run against projects exactly like ours got me all
Doesn’t help I have been watching a bunch of spycraft slop (currently Red Eye which seems pretty good and so far in the mystery not full blown cold war 2.0 bullshit like Homeland).
Not that I think we are consequential enough to be direct targets but who fucking knows now what with the escalation with the ICE criticism data scraping. China is too risk averse to be running actual counterintelligence outside its own border but the fact we have so many true believers high on their own propaganda makes me genuinely fearful.
This particular section especially sums up my feelings:
I can’t belive this is the world we live in lol.
See the recent QAA episode on Clavicular I just posted. Shit is getting fuckin weird folks.
