i guess the argument is that these images were a needle in a haystack and now you have given the public a supermagnet to go find it.
like right now, if someone tries to download old laion and find those images manually, it would probably take them a very very long time. if they had the diff, they would find them in a few minutes.
i dont think its a good argument, but its an argument. the researchers found them without a diff so likely someone else can too. so theres not much reason to leave them in that i can tell.
- morkalork 3y agoYes, I get that. But that's not what the researchers did. They used a database of know hashes. Can bad actors not do the same?
- sp332 3y agoI don't think it's easy to get access to the PhotoDNA database. And it would be a service that people query against, so they'd have an audit trail.
