Realistically they can't, unless the service owner lives in a country with an extradition treaty with the UK, and that country has an equivalent law in place. But most service operators don't want to deal with that stress, so they

Part of the issue is that they commingle inventory their warehouses receive from third-party sellers based on ISBN. So if you receive a counterfeit, it might be the fault of the seller you bought it from, or it might be Amazon's fault

They obtain interest from citizen workers by increasing wages. H1Bs artificially suppress wages and make the market inefficient by removing those price signals. This creates a self-perpetuating problem that can only be "resolved"

Juniors and offshore teams will probably be the most severely impacted. If a senior dev is already breaking off smaller tightly scoped tasks and fixing up the results, that loop can be accomplished much more quickly by iterating with a LLM.

I can't find the ScarJo image you are referring to, so it either looks nothing like her, or it got reported and removed. Yes, people use NSFW models to generate NSFW content... What a shocking discovery. What exactly are you proposing

They had the NSFW detection dialed up to the point where it would flag a bit of cleavage as inappropriate for real person depictions. They were very on top of this issue and really wanted to avoid any bad press over "deepfakes". C

They always had a pretty strict policy against mixing any NSFW content with depictions of real people. Anything tagged as a real person would get run through a NSFW -detection API and would get automatically blocked if it failed. So no, no

Did they actually reverse-engineer it, or did they ask an LLM how it might work and then throw in a sales pitch? This is very surface level, especially considering how easy Electron apps are to tear down.

Yeah, from the screenshots on Twitter a lot of it looks like archives of publicly accessible Twitter and Telegram accounts, plus data from old breaches. That makes it seem pretty unlikely there will be anything new and valuable here.
