I see the commits say they were co-authored by Claude, but from having read the code, I think you haven’t given Claude enough credit.

Our investigation found that Hugging Face, the top platform for sharing open-source AI models, isn't just hosting tools that generate non-consensual intimate imagery. It's helping users compare, benchmark and optimize them, making image-based sexual abuse easier to scale.

By investigating the platform's most widely used Hugging Face Spaces and creating our own, we found:

• 73% of monitored requests were sexual in nature.
• Of those, 83% sought to undress or otherwise sexualize a person. 95% targeted women.
• 6.7% targeted a minor. If fulfilled, these requests would constitute child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
• Just 3% of audited Spaces showed any evidence of output moderation.

Hugging Face's own policies prohibit non-consensual intimate imagery. Yet we found virtually no safeguards preventing these tools from being used for exactly that purpose.

lol. lmao, even.

Would be a terrible shame if lots of people opted out.

Really cool research. Overall, X11 still wins compared to Wayland(kwin) but only by 0.14 - 0.22 ms. The really bad performance hit is from XWayland which added 3.13 ms.

3. FOSS projects should not shun contributors who choose to use LLM-gen-AI systems.

Fuck everything about this and the liberal horseshit that follows it.
