He allegedly used Stable Diffusion, a text-to-image generative AI model, to create “thousands of realistic images of prepubescent minors,” prosecutors said.

    That thing over there being wrong doesn’t mean we can’t discuss this thing over here also being wrong.

    So perhaps pipe down with your dumb whataboutism.

      It’s not whataboutism, he’s being persecuted because of the idea that he’s hurting children all the while law enforcement refuses to truly persecute actual institutions victimizing children and are often colluding with traffickers. For instance LE throughout the country were well aware of the scale of the Catholic church’s crimes for generations.

      How is this whataboutism.

        Just to be clear here, he’s not actually persecuted for generating such imagery like the headline implies.

        Because it’s two different things.

        We should absolutely go after the Catholic church for the crimes committed.

        But here we are talking about the creation of child porn.

        If you cannot understand this very simple premise, then we have nothing else to discuss.

          They’re not two different things. They’re both supposedly acts of pedophilia except one would take actual courage to prosecute (churches) and the other which doesn’t have any actual victims is easy and is a PR get because certain people find it really icky.
