@Geri How the fuck it’s still in App Stores is beyond me. No it’s not beyond me but FFS.

@toxy @Geri We should report it in the app store for child pornography?

Utarg of Utarg 🔬🇪🇺🇸🇪🇬🇧🇺🇦Jan 9

@simonho @Geri I have, for what it’s worth.

@toxy @simonho

not a wholly bad idea

Baron Vonskinnback Jan 9

@Geri so Apple & Google won't allow people to know where ICE is, but you are allowed as much child porn as you can endure in their platform, whilst also earning a percentage of the proceeds, so they are actually making money from child pornography...

@Vonskinnback

we will get you capitalist bastards one day

and we will kick the shit out of you

@Geri 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Geri Working in information security I cannot count how many times I’ve had this conversation:

Them: How do I protect my computer from malware?
Me: Stop watching porn
Them: …
Me: …
Them: Is there any other way?

Tzimisce Flesh Jan 9

@pier @Geri "Porn" is not the problem in either of the relevant situations here.

@flesh @pier for clarity: what are the two situations you refer to?

Tzimisce Flesh Jan 9

@Geri @pier
CyberSecurity and whatever the hell is going on with Grok.

Pier Hegeman Jan 9

@flesh @Geri Yes, information security is complicated and computers are complicated, but somehow it’s always porn.

As for the cesspit that is Grok. I can’t find the post or I’s link but someone else posted (paraphrasing) “If your LLM is generating porn and CSAM then it was trained to generate porn and CSAM.” I don’t like “AI” at the best of times, but this shit needs to be nuked from orbit.

@Geri That is a very sad commentary about how thin the veneer of civilization is

@Robo105

if everyone walked around naked maybe we would not have this problem?

@Geri As a man, I think you might be over estimating men

@Robo105 It's an atavism. Men have to look to see the most fecund woman to carry their genes.

Similarly, we are disposed to seek those who best protect the children and provide shelter and food

@Geri This is an evolutionary trait but we are more than slaves to our genes. I can desire a woman without being a pervert about it and as my father said a woman always have the right to say no and has the final say

@Robo105

we should have the first say, the middle say, and the end say xx

@Geri That is exactly what my father taught me and I taught my children. A woman can say no at any point in between and men need to respect that. I also feel that men can't be a silent bystander.

@Geri @Robo105 ironically, many women are wearing less revealing clothes now than they would if only the men around them could stop themselves from making unwanted remarks, or worse...

@punissuer @Robo105

we dont wear revealing clothes for men's benefit

we wear them for ours

let's get that principle established

dont invite the girl pile on guys

@Geri @punissuer I fully agree that women and girls should be able to wear whatever they wish without comment from men.

punIssuer Jan 9

@Geri @Robo105 true. the scare-quotes around "benefitting" are a rather weak hint. Let my try that again…
