    “Many girls were completely terrified and had tremendous anxiety attacks because they were suffering this in silence,” she told Reuters at the time. “They felt bad and were afraid to tell and be blamed for it.”

    WTF?!

      Welcome to Christianity.

      If a man sexually exploits a woman, it’s the woman’s fault for leading him astray.

      This is how women are treated in deeply Christian communities.

      Those women fear stepping forward to report assault or abuse because there are many in their community that will condemn them for it.

      Are you surprised by teenage boys making fake nudes of girls in their school? I’m surprised by how few of these cases have made the news.

      I don’t think there’s any way to put this cat back in the bag. We should probably work on teaching boys not to be horrible.

          Having been a teenage boy myself, I wouldn’t dream of trying.

          But I knew it wasn’t OK to climb a tree with binoculars to try to catch a glimpse of the girl next door changing clothes, and I knew it wasn’t OK to touch people without their consent. I knew people who did things like that were peeping toms and rapists. I believed peeping toms and rapists would be socially ostracized and legally punished more harshly than they often are in reality.

          Making and sharing deepfakes of real people without their consent belongs on the same spectrum.

          We do eventually grow up at least

          … into horny men

          … but hopefully with a little more empathy and propriety.

        There are always two paths to take - take away all of humanity’s tools or aggressively police people who abuse them. No matter the tool (AI, computers, guns, cars, hydraulic presses) there will be somebody who abuses it, and for society to function properly we have to do something about the delinquent minority of society.

            No, just an example. But if you’ve ever noticed the giant list of safety warnings on industrial machinery, you should know that every single one of those rules was written in blood.

            I don’t think they’re offended. I think they’re saying that a tool is a tool. A gun or AI are only dangerous if misused, like a hydraulic press.

            We can’t go around removing the tools because some people will abuse them. Any tool can kill someone.

          Guns do not belong in the list. Guns are weapons, not tools. Don’t bother posting some random edge case that accounts for approximately 0.000001% of use. This is a basic category error.

          Governments should make rules banning and/or regulating weapons.

            Weapons are tools, by strict definition, and there are legitimate uses for them. Besides, my point was that they should be regulated. In fact, because they are less generally useful than constructive tools, they should be regulated far MORE strictly.

              Weapons are tools,

              Prove it. Prove that the majority of people think of a gun in the same way as they do a screwdriver

              by strict definition,

              Assertion without evidence

              and there are legitimate uses for them.

              I see we didn’t read what I wrote, only the first sentence of what I wrote.

              Besides, my point was that they should be regulated. In fact, because they are less generally useful than constructive tools, they should be regulated far MORE strictly.

              By generally you mean not even close to them yes.

                  No you are pulling a libertarian. You defined a word that is used a particular way to mean what you want it to mean then declare victory.

                  You are not arguing step-by-step, you are bypassing.

          No, they’re not fully developed, but they distinguish actions morally speaking (even older children do) and they can choose to do better.

        It’s like these x-ray apps that obviously didn’t work but promoted to see all the women naked. Somehow that was very cool and no one cared. Suddenly there is something that kinda works and everyone is shocked.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A court in south-west Spain has sentenced 15 schoolchildren to a year’s probation for creating and spreading AI-generated images of their female peers in a case that prompted a debate on the harmful and abusive uses of deepfake technology.

    Police began investigating the matter last year after parents in the Extremaduran town of Almendralejo reported that faked naked pictures of their daughters were being circulated on WhatsApp groups.

    Each of the defendants was handed a year’s probation and ordered to attend classes on gender and equality awareness, and on the “responsible use of technology”.

    Under Spanish law minors under 14 cannot be charged but their cases are sent to child protection services, which can force them to take part in rehabilitation courses.

    In an interview with the Guardian five months ago, the mother of one of the victims recalled her shock and disbelief when her daughter showed her one of the images.

    “Beyond this particular trial, these facts should make us reflect on the need to educate people about equality between men and women,” the association told the online newspaper ElDiario.es.


    The original article contains 431 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 58%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
