This 4chan Board Became a Factory for Explicit AI β€˜Deepfakes.’ Nobody Is Stopping It. - Open Measures Open Measures builds accessible and transparent products to contextualize the spread of harmful online information that impacts public discourse and global events.

NEW: One of the most active hubs for sexually explicit AI "deepfakes" is hiding in plain sight. My latest takes a hard look at a 4chan board that's acting as a factory floor for online sexual abuse β€” where its users have victimized untold numbers of women and girls.

Seeing that no press freedom orgs have rushed to defend and help @rachelgilmore.bsky.social makes me ask, for the millionth time, what do CJFE, PEN, etc even do? Why exist at all when you do fuck all to fight censorship and intimidation?

Kind of crazy that a journalist has been threatened by Nazis for doing journalism and we’re not seeing widespread condemnation!

I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.

No by most accounts it sounds like it would make it worse.

Just pay a sex worker. There are countless hot people who will provide this service that don’t poison communities or waste rivers of water.

Media Shrugs As Canada’s Allies Slaughter Iranian Children Editorial boards have endorsed the U.S.-Israeli war without even bothering to note its youngest casualties.

NEW: Canadian editorial boards watched U.S.-Israeli forces slaughter Iranian school children, and then endorsed the war anyways.

Building an AI chatbot around delivering diagnoses to sufferers of endometriosis isn't the solution, actually. The solution is combating the inherent misogyny of doctors not believing people with a uterus when they say they're suffering immense pain!

My wife (Borat voice) has extensive experience in researching endemitriosis and before the OpenAI explosion regularly used AI diagnostic tools to detect patterns and trends in research cells. So yes, this is one area I know AI can improve outcomes but why do we have do also make an LLM around it.

I was really hopeful about this article until they detailed that DANA (the AI app being developed) would be conversational like ChatGPT. Is that what's required to get funding for endemitriosis diagnostic tools?

Israel, the country famously held to account for respecting international law. Canada, the country that allowed Netanyahu, wanted by the ICC for war crimes, fly through its airspace. Sure.

Not that it matters, but I have traced her ancestry extensively going through multiple generations and centuries. This is not true and appears to simply be echoing false claims made by prominent white supremacist Peter Brimelow.

Right as reports emerge that the US bombing of Iran relies heavily on it? There's no low these parasites won't sink to.

I have been doing crosswords every day for about a week now and I have never felt more cognitively competent. Go ahead. Ask me any question where the answer is three letters. I've seen arrangement you never though possible.

Asked about the administration’s plan for Iran after the war, that official responded: β€œWhatever.”

Non-fiction books are so important and this is depressing. The amount of knowledge contained in a good non-fiction book trumps basically any other medium.

The 1973 oil crisis is seen by some scholars as a big historical moment that allowed neoliberalism to take hold. β€œThe result was an intellectual revolution: a shift to neo-liberalism with a stress on individualism and incentives rather than collectivism and equality, and greater power for finance.”
