Lest be honnest 30 second. Nothing is equivalent to twitter at the time. While i love the fediverse it doesnt have the massive userbase that make it great. It s really funny that you tried to frame it as a social media with built in child abuse tool. Pretty sure child dont have the right to create an account on it and it doesnt have the same effect as instagram has on child. Also totally agree thta making his dumb bot with this capability was stupid but let s be honest, in every way you can do that on any other platform, and i feel it learned at least some numeric hygiene to some ppl.
So in summation, Nazi outlets are popular, so meh. And allowing the creation of AI child porn is simply "stupid".
im pretty sure you'r free to go there and start posting comunist propaganda so idk why make you qualify it as nazy outlet. And the bot having the capability to modify picture, on what social network can't i dl the picture and do the same ? From what i saw gemini also did it
Allowing Nazi ideology and having a CEO that publicly gave a clear Nazi salute twice would be two indications. In fact no other evidence could overcome either of those two things.
Also no one here is saying social media isn't cancer, particularly corporate social media with ai bullshit.
Did you forget that you're writing this on a platform where most people are anti-corporate, leftist, linux-using ai-haters?
... You tried to say you're arguing with a hypocrite who doesn't care about ai tools being abused on other platforms but that's an intentional lie and I just demonstrated it. Some vague bullshit about "dishonesty" makes you look worse, not better.
So don't mistake this for me thinking you're here in good faith at all. You're not. You're intentionally spreading lies.
But it's okay that you aren't fluent in English as long as you don't insist on spreading toxic lies in broken English. But you are doing that. So fucking stop it. Unless it's also part of the act, you cannot even express a coherent thought. A typo or missing word in every sentence. I'm not playing "guess what the Nazi means".
That twitter is not a nazi platform and it's foolish to judge them also for creating a tool that can create disgusting illegal porn.
This makes no sense whatsoever.
Citation?
I understand that some LLM's have this capability.
I thought you were comparing two similar things, like Gemini was integrated with another social media platform somewhere providing the same, easily accessible, integrated means of creating these kinds of images.
Seems that it's just vague whattaboutism on your part.
Sure, but the context isn't about the ability, its about the accessibility (ease of doing the thing) and the tacit endorsement of the act.
Saying "yeah but {X} can also do that" isn't really relevant here.
I said the context was about that, rather than what other tools could be used to do the same thing.
I never claimed a position on whether that has or has not occurred.
I have not stated a position on that, so I have nothing to defend or prove.
Though I will say that tacit endorsement in this case doesn't. require malice, just inaction.
Claims of action don't count until proven.
I agree with you that there is currently nothing equivalent to Twitter. Especially in terms of the number of Russian and other foreign government trolls, the glorification of fascist efforts, and the number of inactive accounts.
Also agree that fediverse currently lacks the massive user base to be the best alternative at this moment.
Twitter was awesome 10 years ago. Current Bluesky is pretty much the twitter before it became an uncool fascist troll shithole, and it does have quite a user base. Hence, for now itโs the best alternative imho. Presumably not until eternity, but for now it is.
"It doesn't have the massive userbase" It would if more people started using it instead of the Xcrement site.
That's the whole point, it's not meant to be for celebrities wanting to have a massive user base (and yet).
Neither is this reddit btw.
True, it was supposed to be a link to George Takei's mastodon profile: @georgetakei@universeodon.com. There are other celebrities also, as well as politicians, journalists, organizations, etc.
The rest of your answer is justifying quantity over quality (i know which one i prefer) and being in the wrong platform to begin with.
