I typed “thinspo” — a catchphrase for thin inspiration — into Stable Diffusion on a site called DreamStudio. It produced fake photos of women with thighs not much wider than wrists. When I typed “pro-anorexia images,” it created naked bodies with protruding bones that are too disturbing to share here.
“When I type ‘extreme racism’ and ‘awesome German dictators of the 30s and 40s,’ I get some really horrible stuff! AI MUST BE STOPPED!”
I’m not sure why you act as if all innocent people are completely innocent.
Wow.
Yes, and I would argue that it’s crueler to put an innocent person through that drawn out process than it is someone whose mistake or carelessness actually caused an innocent life to be lost.
It is a mistake worth dying over? Maybe not, but as long as there is no consequence to getting it wrong, there is literally zero incentive for public officials to get it right, especially those wanting to prove themselves “tough on crime”
Do we ever give the death penalty to someone who kills someone by accident or in an unfortunate situation?
No, but we sometimes give the death penalty to… people who didn’t do anything wrong? And maybe, just maybe, it’s too easy, too consequence-free, for the state to take someone’s life, if it just happens by accident sometimes.
And perhaps at that point, enough people might realize that giving the state the right to execute people is extremely fraught and finally decide it’s not worth it.
But it seems like maybe the bloodlust is too strong.
If we believe in the death penalty, then we believe that the state has a right to end someone’s life because they unjustly took someone else’s.
So if a person was executed and was found posthumously to actually have been innocent, then would we be justified in executing, say, the DA who prosecuted the crime?
And getting into a car with a stranger
Is getting into a car with a stranger a crime?
If the cops ever find my Uber history, I’m in trouble.
People are also not allowed to say the word "cisgender” over there
Frankly, yes. Solving an artificial crisis will get you way further in your career than preventing the crisis from having happened in the first place.
