      I would not be surprised if Meta advertised such a thing to prospective employees as a legitimate benefit of the job. A built-in VR goon cave with 30 TB of material available. Limit 1 hour per person, bookings required 6 months in advance. Sessions subject to monitoring for security and training purposes. May contain trace amounts of Zuck.

        Wouldn’t need any material. Hooks up to your fb and you can pick which of your pals to hook up to the milking table.

        Then you should be less credulous. What is told to prospective employees is effectively public information.

      You’re joking but it was 2400 movies over 7 years downloaded individually and not in bulk like they blatantly did with books. Apparently over 60% of adults admit to have viewed porn at work so yeah… someone should probably check on the engineers in the goon cave.

    I can only assume the MPAA will funnel vast sums of money into helping prosecute these thieves? Any minute now right?

    Torrent the Dark Knight to watch at home along and the media companies will sue you for infinity billion dollars. Openly torrent every movie known to man to train an AI and the media companies don’t do shit.

      Gen AI porn and shitposts are the only 2 decent use cases I’ve seen of gen AI.

      You can’t make half of those without training it on porn.

        At this point, I’m betting you don’t hear news about image models as the cutting edge is in anime titties and celeb nudes.

        Just to add I’ve seen a full 10 second clip of AI gay porn and it was very, very realistic, with only some minor things that set it off as fake. It’s gotten to the point where I’m afraid I’m cumming to clankers now.

      An article I read when this came up a couple of months ago said that basically porn was the best way to show AI unclothed human movement. Watching clothed humans move, you can get the basics but can’t see how the muscles are working. If you show it a Hollywood movie, they might see occasional shirtless scenes or artfully lit and blocked out sex scenes. Porn has the greatest amount of naked people moving their bodies.

      Video generation, copyright matching, CSAM detection, those are just the first few that pop into my head.

        I’ve heard about that. I just don’t really understand why would anyone waste their resources on it. AI training is too expensive to waste it on that.

    As an aside, a great deal of CSAM is shared through Facebook, they’ve been asked by CSAM survivors to stop this and they said no. The advocacy survivor group Phoenix 11 submitted six formal questions in the US Congress to old Zuckface fuckface about it, as he deployed end to end encryption which makes this possible, which he dodged like the lying fuck he is. Zuck would sell it himself if it made him a whole dollar and nobody should forget that.

      I completely disagree with your take here.

      The idea that we shouldn’t have services with end to end encryption because “think of the children” is an absurd take to have.

      I think you’re being upvoted because its anti Zuckerberg, but seriously people, think about the long term consequences of not being able to chat without being spied on.

          A case of indoctrination by the government, that’s what they expect - a stream of false narratives utilising children as the weapon.

      Which is frustrating as every single time the government wanted to expand surveillance on regular citizens, preventing this is always touted as the justification. Now we have all the surveillance and the monopolies are like ‘Nah, exploitation is profitable’.

    An even more “glaring” defect, Meta argued, is that Meta’s terms prohibit generating adult content, “contradicting the premise that such materials might even be useful for Meta’s AI training.”

    Oh yes, this is true because meta, or any other company for that matter, has never ever in the history of ever changed its terms of service…
