You’re comparing apples to oranges.

I heard they love ex-cops in jail. Long time.

Okay.

Yes

They might be weary, but this is what they’ll get.

“dog farmers”, holy shit :(

Of course the CCP health ministry would never lie.

I thought Grimes had an affair with a trans person, and ever since he’s been on the crazy train. Maybe he knows exactly that it’s all bullshit, but it’s also lucrative and hard to backpedal.

Come on man. Don’t we already have enough wars going on? This can get messy really quickly.

Saw a toddler with a phone in hand today, maybe a year. Couldn’t walk yet, but had no trouble scrolling.

India is wild :(

8 years are 2 election cycles. Much can happen in that time.

Definitely needed.

What’s your proposed solution?

The way I see it, and I’m pretty sure this will get downvoted, is that pedophiles will always find new material on the net. Just like actual, normal porn, people will put it out.

With AI-generated content, at least there’s no actual child being abused, and it can feed the need for ever new material without causing harm to any real person.

I find the thought of kiddie porn abhorrent, and I think for every offender who actually assaults kids, there are probably a hundred who get off of porn, but this porn has to come from somewhere, and I’d rather it’s from an AI.

What’s the alternative, hunt down and eradicate every last closeted pedo on the planet? Unrealistic at best.

I’m an indie author, and all my novels ended up on PDFdrive.

Not that I’d be mad about it. If someone pirates my books and likes them, maybe they’ll support me in the future.

Just saying, I’m not wearing suits. I’m working full-time and write when I have off and got the time and energy.

For us Indies, getting eyeballs on our books is next to impossible anyways, so I already gave up on the idea that writing will ever be more than an expensive hobby.

Capitalism really is trading goods for currency, and allowing lending and investment. What’s going on though, with unchecked companies and laughable fines, ruins the whole thing. In its current state, capitalism will be our undoing, but with proper laws, regulations and oversight, it could work.

The problem is, corps have grown too powerful already and can blackmail governments. It’s like other models that could work in theory, but never benefit the people in the end. Communism tends to lead to tyranny, for example.

People are just really shit at designing and running big societies.

It’s not regulated properly, that’s the problem
