Other ads animated a photo of a 14-year-old Instagram influencer “showing off her new sports club uniform” into “a video of her performing oral sex.”

Ok that's enough internet for now. Please alert me when it is safe to return.

    Internet? That's enough humanity. We had a... run. Time to burn it all down.

    fwiw, I think this is their actual endgame: use digital to convince people this isn't a small cabal of the ultrawealthy causing so much of this harm.

    They say dictators don't need majority support, only a majority of people doubting themselves.

    At least 56,575 children are sexually abused every year.

    That’s according to U.S. child protective services records.

    The number is staggering—yet it only reflects child sexual abuse that is recognized, reported, and found likely to have occurred against children ages 0-17.

    FBI crime data shows that 51% of reported rape is perpetrated against people ages 0-19.

    That’s approximately 61,754 young rape victims every year, including our most vulnerable children, adolescents navigating middle and high school, and young adults just beginning to move through the world with more independence.

    It's really not a small cabal of the ultrawealthy though.

    Or “don’t count on it” (because if you did you’d be counting for eternity)

    I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of right now…

    “Why don’t you wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first”

    … yeah, I like the chair one

    There's a nonzero chance oligarchs are pushing this to normalize pedophilla.

    Like how Ghislane Maxwell was super involved in early reddit and their main draw for a long time was "legal" sexualization of children.

    Especially since it's a common accusation they make against "the left". Most of the time when they accuse, it's a confession.

    As bad as this guy is (literally just one of THE worst guys), I can never get over how his wife is a pediatrician and they have three daughters and she's just along for the ride? The damage that family does to millions of children, and especially girls, through their direct action and inaction is astonishing.

    You know how in the movie Idiocracy they used " 'baitin" as a shock factor, and had all the woman characters be demeaned and sexualized?

    Somehow, this is a lot worse.

    This country hates its children. And all vulnerable people. We continually treat them as disposable, exploitable resources instead of people deserving of protection and care.

    Today's kids regularly have to rehearse finding cover from a hail of bullets at school, try to prepare themselves for an unlivable ecology, and wonder if any random picture of them will instantly be turned into porn via the new basis of our country's economy. Capitalism is going great.

    We always have treated our children as disposable. It was difficult even to prohibit factory child labor, which faced serious resistance from the courts. Some states are even reversing that. (Agricultural child labor is still legal.)

    I good deep dive is the You're Wrong About on Juvenile Justice (here on YouTube.)

    TL:DR we have a whole subset of crime for kids, delinquency which is stuff that's a crime for kids to do, but not adults. And delinquency crimes are totally used as a pipeline to get kids into the prison industrial complex.

    Also, our public education system has always had containment as a priority. When kids are not working but their parents are, they get into mischief, and thus we needed somewhere to cage them. This, and not edification, is why school is mandatory.

    Children have fewer rights than adults do, and the law enforcement and the justice system takes full advantage of that to exploit kids.

    This is the United States of America.

    Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core

    The demon core was a sphere of plutonium–gallium alloy that was involved in two fatal radiation accidents when scientists tested it as a fissile core of an early atomic bomb.

    Scientists referred to this flirtation with a nuclear chain reaction as "tickling the dragon's tail", based on a remark by physicist Richard Feynman.[12][13]

    It was a case of an unfortunate mistranslation due to the lack of awareness among historians about the thriving scalie scene at the Manhattan Project.

    Uk what sucks? We knew AI was capable of it from start. Hell, we even saw this happen on twitter. And yet what we did? Just let it happen. Gave a slap on the wrist to elon, and did nothing to address this.

    I remember when I first saw nano banana I immediately deleted all my profile photos, and looked up on wayback machine to see if any of my photographs were archived or not. Yeah it's kinda late and it must be somewhere on some hidden archive, but atleast I've bought myself some time. Since that day I have maintained a strict policy amongst my friends and family that I'm not going to be in photographs that are going to be posted online.

    Also I want to be clear, I'm not saying it's corporations responsibility alone. It's responsibility of individual people to not use it. This is freaking crime. But I'm pissed how world is trying to make it the new normal, and regulators have been too sluggish to respond to it.

    This is definitely the kind of ai Trump would use if he was able to use a computer. He should ask his sons to teach him how to use it, they are so good with technology.
