You have to let people love you. You have to let people get to know you. You have to let people help you. Being so completely selfless that you try to erase yourself off the face of the planet and never ask for anything and reject everybody's offers of support makes you very hard to love! Unfortunately. Emptying yourself out of everything that makes you, you is not actually what your loved ones want from you, generally. They want to make you happy! They will be so so sad if you don't give them the chance. It's not all selfish. I promise.
I said it before and I'm saying it again: it's incredible how boys and men instantly see new technology as a way to be viciously misogynistic
The use of ‘nudify’ apps is becoming more and more prevalent, with hundreds of teachers having seen images created by pupils, often of their
Boys literally all around the world are using AI to digitally sexually harass their female peers, but we're supposed to sit back and listen to the men running these genAI companies tell us to accept AI into every aspect of our lives "cuz lulz it's da future :)))"
This part stood out to me
Oh, go fucking eat horse shit. "uwu why are they doing these things--" because these boys are already violently misogynistic before they even graduate from high school and they see their female peers as mere sex objects, that's why. There's nothing deeper going on here, these rotten bastards aren't victims in any way, they know they benefit from the patriarchy, are aware of the power they have over the girls in their classes, and they get a thrill out of "nudifying" them without their consent. If you don't give these boys harsh penalties, why wouldn't they continue to sexually harass girls? If girls are old enough to face misery from misogyny, then boys are old enough to be responsible for their misogyny
To be very clear, it is also terrible when deepfake AI porn is made of a boy. It is very telling, however, that 99% of these instances involve images of women and girls (and that it was another guy who harassed this boy). This is primarily an issue of misogyny, which is why some of these schools are reluctant to punish the boys doing this, because punishing boys for violent misogyny is seen as worse than their violent misogyny.
As if teachers (who are mainly women) don't face enough bullshit already, now they have to worry about their incel students making porn of them. We're really entering an age where women and girls have to fear having any pictures of them accessible online.
You can see anti-generative AI posts all over my blog, but I really believe AI image generation and video generation are the most dangerous forms of it; at best, AI images and videos plagiarize artists and steal their jobs, and at worst, this technology is being used to perpetuate misinformation and digitally harass people. These nudify sites and apps should not be hosted on the surface web, the people responsible for these apps should be held accountable, and generating deepfake porn of someone should be filed under existing revenge porn laws (and tbh, considering that this article talks about minors being targeted, I wonder if some of this will fall under child porn laws, too)
