I kind of disagree. How can you be certain a person in is a certain age without determining who that person is?
The local AI concept is flawed, as is anything that relies on trusting the user.
If you want to be certain that someone is over 18 at some point you need a government ID or birth certificate, and at that point you know a hell of a lot more about them than their age.
This is identity verification.
What’s their motivation? “Protecting the children” from pictures of boobs?
Doubtful.
Instead, I think the AI companies are looking for ways to more easily distinguish human-made “content” from bot-made content, in order to decrease the amount of generative slop that ends up being fed back into their training data.

Anyone who thinks the people at Coke’s marketing department even know vaguely what the fediverse is are delusional.
That’s awful… Sounds like you could use a pick-me-up, and nothing beats the crisp, invigorating taste of an ice-cold Coca-Cola!
Keep in mind we have vague laws against “obscenity” prevent people from saying “shit” and “bitch” on TV, but we can’t create laws regulating the verbal abuse of children?
Damn reruns again.
But what about “AI”?! It’s not a bubble is it?!?!

The DOJ will use this review as leverage to get the media to bend even further to Trump.
From a distance, it all seems very intentional to me.
I guess. But shrinking the scope of their products doesnt exactly inspire the idea of infinite growth.
Now that’s a headline!
Chime in if you disagreee, but there’s really only 2 reasons a company like OpenAI shuts down a core service like Sora:
We already know that OpenAI is losing money on their generative “AI” products across the board, to the tune of billions of dollars per year, and the economic woes that come from rising hardware prices, oil and gas shortages, and another pointless war in the middle east only make the situation worse for them money-wise.
And so that really just leaves me to conclude that Sora has not maintained the level of popularity and growth needed to impress investors as Q1 comes to a close. Whether it’s users, subscriptions, or time, they must have looked at the numbers and really didn’t like what they saw.
Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the ridiculous “AI” bubble, and the start of a new tech sector correction.
People should just drive the car.
Jesus. People are still talking about self-driving cars?
I think you’re a bullshitting con artist.
Mostly corporate tech people, or really suits in general.
It’s certainly frustrating watching people make the same mistake over and over.
“Open weights” isn’t worth a shit either.
If you don’t have the access to training data or the computational power to bake it into a model, you are beholden to somebody’s (or rather, some corporation’s) binary blob. We’re talking about the difference between freeware and FOSS effectively.
Not that it matters because all of thin generative AI stuff is for talentless tech bro chuds in the first place…
