  • It’s a standard mo for Britian. Do whatever they can to deny that a problem exists in the first place. You see it in the Tory party with islamaphobia, the labour party with antisemitism, Nigel garage denying he’s a racist, the government denying racism in the met and the former met commissioner denying that there’s rampant sexual misconduct in the met.

    British people want to bury their head in the fucking sand and ignore a problem until people move onto something else. And it speaks volumes that I’ve not seen anything about this situation in the BBC or the guardian, wouldn’t expect any of the others to even mention it because they’re so fucking biased.
















  • If copyright law is involved then you’re looking at 70 years after the author’s death or 95 years depending on which expires first for it to be public domain and only the original iteration is released into the public domain. That’s for the USA and different countries have different laws and I’d imagine that would complicate things massively as an online library would have to be compliant with various laws of different countries

    So take Mickey Mouse for example he’s now in the public domain but only in his original form in the Steamboat Willie cartoon, anything that uses something more recent than that like his red shorts for example would be taken down.





  • Ai is definitely making things worse. When I was at school there was no tool for creating a deep fake of girls, now boys sneek a pic and use an app to undress them. That then gets shared, girls find out and obviously become distressed. Without ai boys would have to either sneak into toilets/changing rooms or psychically remove girls clothes. Neither of which was happening at such a large degree in a school before as it would create a shit show.

    Also most jurisdictions don’t actually have strict AI laws yet which is making it harder for authorities to deal with. If you genuinely believe that AI isn’t at fault here then you’re ignorant of what’s happening around the world.

    https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/feb/29/clothoff-deepfake-ai-pornography-app-names-linked-revealed That’s an article about one company that provides an app for deep fakes. It’s a shell corp so not easy to shut down through the law and arrest people, also hundreds of teenage girls have been affected by others creating non consensual nudes of them.
