The people generating it are rarely the ones who are training the models. They take pretrained models and prompt them for what they want.

Even if they were training a model for a specific subject, they could train it with any pictures of the subject and combine it with another model that can generate the kind of image they want.

There is absolutely no reason they would need abuse images to use for training. There are far better general nsfw models available right now than they could ever train themselves.

No, I’m saying the models aren’t being trained with actual CSAM. The comment I replied to was about training, not generation.

All I was saying is that you don’t need to train a model on child abuse images to get it to output child abuse images

That’s because it isn’t happening

There’s just no reason to do so

I became an atheist and hardcore antitheist when I was somewhere in the range of 10-12 years old. I blamed religion for all of the world’s suffering. I’m still an atheist, but I’ve relaxed on the outright antitheism after becoming a Marxist in my mid 20s.

I still think the ideal human society would be free of religion, but I no longer think it’s something that can or should be changed through brute force.

I remember reading a quote recently regarding materialism and religion. Something along the lines of “the existence of God is the material reality in x country.” If someone knows what I’m talking about, please link it
