  • There’s a thing that was happening in the past. Not sure it’s still happening, due to lack of news about it. It was something called “glamour modeling” I think or an extension of it.

    Basically, official/legal photography studios took pictures of child models in swimsuits and revealing clothing, at times in suggestive positions and sold them to interested parties.

    Nothing untoward directly happened to the children. They weren’t physically abused. They were treated as regular fashion models. And yet, it’s still csam. Why? Because of the intention behind making those pictures.

    The intention to exploit.






  • That’s kinda the problem. We’re already careless with the things we do ourselves. It can’t be helped, nobody’s perfect. But once we start delegating tasks, we lose the direct experience. Priorities shift, attention moves to something else and the chance of carelessness rises because it’s no longer a problem we have to concern ourselves with.

    Meanwhile, the LLM “learns”. What it “learns”, nobody knows because it does so mechanically. There’s zero understanding.
    It keeps “learning” every time it’s fed something, so you don’t have a static program that does what it’s told. Instead it’s a “living” program that applies what it “learns”. And that makes it unpredictable in the long run.

    This turns the user into a glorified middle manager who has to hover over their employee and make sure they did their job as they should have. And how many middle managers do you know with that kind of dedication, that isn’t spiteful at its core?

    The push against this is that the people depending on it to do the work become less dependable themselves. And unless you’re an independent developer without a profit driven publisher breathing down your neck, this will be used in all the wrong ways as a standard instead of it being the exception.
