  • The article is bullshit that wants to stir shit up for more clicks.

    You don’t need a single CSAM image to train AI to make fake CSAM. In fact, if you used the images from the database of known CSAM, you’d get very shit results because most of them are very old and thus the quality most likely sucks.

    Additionally, in another comment you mention that it’s users training their models locally, so that answers your 2nd question of why companies are not sued: they don’t have CSAM in their training dataset.













  • The end-goal is a stateless society. But you cannot achieve it if all other people are living in states, you need something that is of similar power. Hence it’s a necessary step towards the end-goal which can only happen once everyone (or at least a significant portion of the world) is a communist. And that happens right after a unicorn rides across the sky while shooting rainbow and ice cream out of its ass.

    As to why all communism is authoritarian, everyone who goes into politics is a authoritarian or an idealist. So the way it usually goes is either the authoritarian comes and explains to everyone that they’re communist, or the idealist convinces everyone of the idea and then his colleagues slowly swap them out for the authoritarian, because they’re usually the one actually capable of running a country.

    In other words, to have a successful ideal communism everyone on Lemmy has a hard-on for, you need an unsevered chain of idealist leaders who are also capable of running a country. To achieve the authoritarian version of communism, you need only one authoritarian leader anywhere in the chain. I think everyone can guess which one’s easier and more likely.

    In conclusion, communism can never exist on a large scale as long as people are in power. The only possibility of communism I can see is far in the future when we have true AI (not the current bullshit machines) which rules over us without any possibility of humans altering its decisions. Not sure how likely that is, but at least it’s theoretically achievable.







  • Yeah, I’ve got it configured well enough, but this is a project I took over from an ex-coworker. It’s overly “clever” and complicated, so untangling that mess is gonna take a while and I didn’t really wanna start it before the end of the year. But I had to do some work on that project and the cache that slows deployment down was just the latest of the gifts he left us.

    Basically, to avoid pulling and pushing docker images, he exports them to some archive that gets stored in the cache and loaded into docker on restore. Sounds smart, right? To achieve the lowest traffic, the compression algorithm is fucking aggressive and takes more than the rest of the job. As a bonus, we store the cache in S3, so the pull and push of the docker image pretty much still happens, except much slower.
