I wonder if this could help pedophile people since generated porn wouldn't imply abuse of children.

In my country it is a crime to possess imagery depicting underage sex acts. It does not matter if the actors are legal adults or not -- so, it probably does not matter if they are real either.

The more I see AI generated porn, the more I crave a genre of porn that has badly rendered humans or anatomical structures. It just always looks so new and interesting compared to the usual crap you always see. A true game changer.

I know slandering "the woke" is de rigueur on HN, which is why you made this non-sequitur comment, but pedophiles renaming themselves MAPs has nothing whatsoever to do with "wokeness" or its terminology. Enjoy the endorphine hit though I guess.

I renamed it don't worry

This is still child abuse material and probably still illegal where you live. The reason is obvious, it's a gateway to the abuse of real children.

But is it a crime to possess an algorithm that can generate CP? You don't possess the images, it just generates them.

If it is a crime then it means any model which can generate CP under any circumstances will be illegal.

> On Y Combinator’s Hacker News forum, a user purporting to be the creator describes Porn Pen as an “experiment” using cutting-edge text-to-image models. “I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated,” they wrote. “New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further.” The creator did not respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment…

I’m more surprised by the apparent editing error where the only sex worker evidently quoted is characterized as female throughout the piece except in one instance. I think the intent of the editorial missed-a-spot was greater anonymity provisions by default. I doubt it harmed the particular interviewee in this instance, but that kind of slippery protection of sources certainly won’t encourage more sex workers to talk…

Nearly all sex workers (97% in stats I found) are cisgender or transgender women, so that in itself doesn’t seem to significantly de-anonymize them.
