I have been thinking about it and I agree it’s an extreme position.

But these deeds are not being done by one person. And at some point whether you are an active participant or not you are continuing to work there so you have some level of complicity.

If you started a company that made CSAM do you think you and every one involved should be let off, because you claim it was a technological oopsie?

People have been pointing out that xAI is a CSAM machine since basically the first day it came out. And when they basically said they don’t care. All the employees that stayed are all accomplices to the crimes… let alone the people who started working there after.

The only way to stop these companies is to start holding people accountable. And they will never hold the people at the top to account.

So make it hurt for everyone involved and then people will think twice before they sign up to do evil deeds for evil people.

Was going to say basically say the same exact same thing. There is no law saying how AI is handled when using stollen materials or other “illegal” content.

But somehow we have all been brought to believe that somehow “new” technology isn’t subject to existing laws.

If x or any other company downloaded CSAM everyone in the company should be arrested.

Not only do companies do this themselves. But it’s an entire industry in itself of businesses that do this as a service.

They then charge ridiculous prices for you to search through the data to find parts you are looking for. But it’s actually quite useful and saves a bunch of time hunting and breaking things apart.
