YouTube Music is filled with AI generated songs with straight up hentai album covers

Sure, but that’s a lot of work and worry to keep all those backups going and syncd

I think it took me 15 minutes to first install SyncThing and Vorta? I literally haven’t worried about this for the last two years

Now, you’re probably an IT admin or programmer

I’m a biologist :) (though to be fair, mastering in bioinformatics, but this setup came first!)

And in the end, you have a computer hooked to your stereo, the one place I’m trying to escape the constant computing.

My stereo is a Gradiente from the 70s, no computers there. My portable player does connect to a computer to sync sometimes… but I do this when charging, so out of mind.

But… those other storage mediums can also get damaged, burn, rot, etc

Sure can. You know what else they can do? Instantly and cleanly copy their data to any other storage device, they can even do so automatically every day!

Your hard drive can be erased in many ways.

I’m willing to bet my main SSD, my backup HDD, my FLAC player’s SD card, and my laptop SSD all carrying the same file are going to be more durable than a piece of plastic.

I’m curious as to why?

Physical media scratches, rots, burns down, etc. They also require a lot of space, and you can’t have it all with you easily.

My FLAC library is got the same or better audio quality, I can backup and copy in seconds for myself or friends, I can carry everything, or just curated playlists, with the toggle of a button, and I can preserve them on any medium I find - mechanical HDs, SD cards, SSDs, etc.

Though I am very curious about vinyl…

I prefer dedicated digital players over physical media, for instance, a FLAC player with a digital library over CDs, but I’m glad to see this trend catching up. Anything that gets people building their own collections, escaping algorithms and escaping DRM/streaming is a huge win in my book.

It’s all part of the plan, create technological dependency. Why is Google so laser focused on making sure these school PCs are always Chromebooks?

Raise an entire generation that can’t write, research, calculate, synthesize, without a Chromebook. If it breaks, they buy a new one, when they grow up they rely on always having one, and so on.

I’d worry I’ve made a silly mistake which would make me look a fool and waste their time.

AI bros have zero self awareness and shame, which is why I continue to encourage that the best tool for fighting against it is making it socially shameful.

Somebody comes along saying “Oh look at the image is just genera…” and you cut them with “looks like absolute garbage right? Yeah, I know, AI always sucks, imagine seriously enjoying that hahah, so anyway, what were you saying?”

Your original comment said you hope they never get released.

In direct reference to “terabytes of child abuse videos” yes, I hope they never get released. This is different than “show the faces and names of the criminals”. Not sure how one could struggle with such a simple sentence.

The ones at the DOJ, which is led by a corrupt loyalist?The ones at the FBI, which is led by a different corrupt loyalist?

That part is the part I agree is the real issue that must be urgently addressed, yes. The release of the raw videos is not and will never be the path. We don’t disagree here.

Agreed. But considering how that was my point from the very start, I’m unsure what you’d expect me to reply to that.

If you’re not from American you should probably shut up.

You’re commenting that you want terabytes of child porn published for the public, and doubling down that this is “the only way”.

Me? Shut up?

The current level of moral outrage is not high enough or universal enough to break past the walls of power.

And your proposed solution is releasing terabytes of child rape online for the masses?

Please, never become a candidate for any position where you have any decision making responsibility whatsoever, in your life.

didn’t write down but know are on video

Investigators need to see them, not you. And even if you did, the fuck are you going to do about it? And if you’re going to do something, why are you waiting for child abuse videos instead of doing it now?

You’re defending the release and that “people need to see” videos of children being raped? Are you clinically insane? No, nobody needs to see anything, and the victim’s suffering aren’t a stage for your vengeance.

The fact they’re confirmed to exist, audited by closed door experts and trialed through a legal system is all that would suffice in a working society. Now, is the US a good example of a functional country? No, not at all, but “releasing the videos” does nothing.

Again, we already know they’re pedophiles, releasing the names is enough, you don’t need to watch the actual videos. If people aren’t revolting now, it’s not from a lack of explicit CSAM recordings.

It’s bizarre I even have to explain this.

A lot of the data is composed of child abuse videos though, not evidence the videos existed, the videos themselves, so in that regard I do expect and hope they’re never publicly released.

But yes, of course, everything else was withheld or censored just to protect the abusers, and those do need to come out, we just don’t know the exact ratio or numbers as being shared by this article.

The issue is that comment sections are disabled and video descriptions claim to be empty

So it makes the page even better?

Reminder that Google is on it’s third attempt to prevent or limit the installation of APKs outside of the Play Store, meaning they are near the point they can effectively control what apps people run.
