Many different things are objectively true, but of course they mention the pay, because they know that to most of their "Western" readers it sounds outrageous.
- __derek__ 4y agoThe pay is not even close to the most outrageous way to headline this article: it uses "toxic" as a euphemism for, e.g., not generating CSAM, rape, and other sexual violence.
- Dylan16807 4y agoA computer cannot generate CSAM. Please do not misuse that phrase and diminish its impact.
- __derek__ 4y agoIf an AI uses source images to generate novel reproductions, wouldn't that still count as CSAM? Regardless, I should have included the phrase "depictions of" or similar.
- Dylan16807 4y agoIf an AI is generating novel images, I wouldn't call them CSAM even if they fall under a rule that makes them illegal. If they're not properly novel then it depends on what the source images were, I guess? But it's not like you'd need to train it on anything obscene for it to figure out how to combine bad things with nudity.
