Appreciate the info, neither of us want to support zionists.
Alice@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•100,000 People Are Using a Telegram Bot That Makes AI Cumshot Videos of Anyone14·2 months agoI mean, I assume?
I found the bot promoted in a different Telegram channel dedicated to making and sharing AI-generated nonconsensual pornography which has about 50,000 members.
This isn’t thought policing… First off, these are actions, but second, no one’s policing it.

Alice@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Amazon Said to Make a Bid to Buy TikTok in the U.S.5·3 months agoMeh. If you’re the sort of person who cares, you probably stopped using TikTok when they started sucking up to Trump. If you still use it, you probably support Amazon, too.
Alice@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•T-Mobile Shows Users the Names, Pictures, and Exact Locations of Random Children13·3 months agoI dunno, I have a sibling I’ve never met because they were kidnapped before I was born. Teaching a kid to be safe doesn’t give them the ability to overpower adults.
I think when they get a little older you obviously need to stop tracking them, but I also don’t think it’s bad to want to know where your little kids are.
I do think it’s bad to use an app that has their full names and pictures, though. That’s common sense.

Alice@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk says X hit by 'massive cyber attack' as users unable to log in3·4 months agoOh nvm, I wasn’t aware they’d done that. The article only talks about the outage.
ETA did anyone see this message, or have a screenshot of it? I can’t find a single article about it. I don’t mean the screenshot of the Operation Dreadnought website that’s attached to this post.
Alice@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk says X hit by 'massive cyber attack' as users unable to log in10·4 months agoI’m dumb; can they do that? I thought DoS attacks could be done without hacking, but a url redirect would require hacking, right?
Alice@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Christie's First-Ever AI Art Auction Earns $728,000, Plus Controversy14·4 months agoI’m actually against AI art since creative professions are already lacking in labor rights, and it’s going to get worse now that they’re trying to make artists replaceable.
But one of the worst things about it, to me, is that it’s caused artists to start going to bat for IP laws. IP law is the reason you don’t get to finish that story you spent years on, because HBO deleted it in a tax write-off. You don’t even get to talk about what it might have been like, because you’re under NDA.
Now people want it to be illegal to be influenced by copyrighted things. Great.

I never even saw any of it, but the anxiety of trying to avoid it wasn’t worth it.
The way things are going, I predict by 2026 my screen time will be down to zero hours.

Neither of us are very techy and I told him I’d look into this for him because he’s juggling 100 different things right now. I think my dumb ass relaying instructions on how to do this, to his dumb ass, would end in tears.
