Boston Police Department: Officers Arrest Suspect for Recording Children Using Camera Sunglasses at the Boston Common Frog Pond
"...Upon arrival, officers spoke to a witness who stated that he observed an unknown male arguing with the suspect. Officers spoke with multiple witnesses who stated that the suspect was recording children in the playground by utilizing sunglasses with a camera installed in them. Witnesses further stated the suspect also used his cell phone to record the children.
Additional witnesses stated the suspect used the glasses to record a family who was attempting to change their children, who were wrapped in a towel for privacy. When the family attempted to move due to the suspect’s behavior, he followed them, scanning the children up and down with the camera sunglasses...."

RE: https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco/117111454162065803
In this important interview of Hany Farid by @emanuelmaiberg, they discuss (among other concerns) the growing problem of synthetic #CSAM and other #NCII and the necessity of imposing much greater consequences on the executives and companies most responsible for creating and distributing these media. As Farid explains, perceptual hashing algorithms such as Photo DNA can't significantly hinder the promulgation of #deepfake media, because too many perceptually distinct #deepfakes can be produced too quickly.
I'd argue that the only real solution to the problem of synthetic abuse images would necessarily apply much earlier in the process: legally restrict the training data.
Make it a criminal offence, mandatorily piercing the corporate veil, extending from executives and board members to ICs, to produce, possess, distribute, wilfully retain, advertise, or make available any media synthesis model derived from data that includes or ever included both:
- any image, whether still or video, which depicts or appears to depict human nudity or human sex acts (regardless of whether any depicted person exists or ever did, and considering for this purpose human any fictional humanoid species portrayed as having visually similar intimate anatomy or capable of visually similar sex acts); and either or both of:
- any image, whether still or video, which depicts or appears to depict any adult (as of the age at which they are or appear to be depicted) who exists or ever did, who did not, with unmitigated capacity to do so at the time, expressly provide free and informed consent not tied to anything else except financial compensation, to their image being included in a model capable of synthesizing intimate images, without ever withdrawing that consent before production of the model; or,
- any image, whether still or video, of any minor (as of the age at which they are or appear to be depicted), whether ever existing or not.
Any model trained on both can produce NCII. To prevent synthesizing NCII, we must mandate the deletion and prohibit the production of models trained on both. Companies wanting to synthesize porn can bifurcate their training, so the only humans in their porn-capable model would be adults consenting specifically to that.
Allow, as a sole exception, solely for the purpose of preserving evidence of a crime, retention of encrypted copies of a violating model, made after cryptographically hashing the plaintext model and kept with the encrypted model, encrypted such that it is mathematically impossible to deduce or infer any part of the model without private keys kept in sole custody of a court of relevant jurisdiction or its designate. In all other cases and for all other purposes, impose an affirmative duty of immediate and irreversible deletion upon discovery (or, for pre-existing models, upon enactment of the law) of all violating models, by any entity with the technical and legal access to do so, and an affirmative duty to report to law enforcement the existence of such models by all persons with knowledge of their existence, as well as whether, to the reporting person's knowledge, the model was immediately and irreversibly deleted. Make failure to report existence of the model a crime for everyone who knows and fails to report it.
Retroactively and proactively forfeit as proceeds of crime all gross revenue or valuable consideration given or received by any and every entity (natural person or otherwise) wilfully involved in production, retention, making available, providing, accessing, or using such models, or for concealing any of the foregoing except by means of immediate and irreversible deletion, in consideration for any wilful part in the foregoing. Make all such revenue and the value of any such valuable consideration tax debts owing immediately, with compounding interest retroactively from the date of transfer of funds or consideration (or, for pre-existing models, from the enactment of the law). For the purpose of this forfeiture, value any such non-monetary valuable consideration equivalently to the highest monetary value it attains from date owing (as defined in the preceding) to date of full repayment.
Make it additionally and independently a civil offence, with a private right of action, retroactively and proactively exempted from all indemnity clauses, hold harmless provisions, mandatory arbitration clauses, class action waivers, limitations of liability, forum selection clauses, choice of law clauses, or any other terms of contract, licence, or agreement purporting to prevent or limit means of legal redress.
Make the only escape hatch from legal liability to destroy the model immediately if one can, or to report it immediately otherwise.
If Sam Altman, Sundar Pichai, Demis Hassabis, Alexandr Wang, Mark Zuckerberg, David Holz, Prem Akkaraju, Christobál Valenzuela, Anastasis Germanidis, Tim Flossbach, and everyone who works for their companies in any “AI”-related capacity—even an intern on their first day—could end up imprisoned and bankrupt for allowing a model whose training data makes it capable of producing NCII to continue to exist (or, for those who can't destroy the model, for failing to report it), the availability of NCII synthesis would diminish markedly.
Even though the current US regime of perpetrators of offences against children, bribed as they are to serve the interests of the media synthesis companies, would never enact any such a law, the CEOs and most of their company's employees do like to visit other countries, to fly over other countries' airspace, or to sail in other countries' waters. Meanwhile, several US states may be persuadable to enact such laws (albeit perhaps a fit filed down around the edges due to SCOTUS 1A interpretations), and preempting them federally would be politically self-poisonous. (What politician or candidate wants to out themselves as pro-NCII?)
Enact similar laws in enough jurisdictions, and in effect, the same might as well be enacted in the USA. Russia would undoubtedly be a hold-out, but for which: enact sanctions, and provide #Ukraine abundant means of kinetic enforcement of those sanctions.
- any image, whether still or video, which depicts or appears to depict human nudity or human sex acts (regardless of whether any depicted person exists or ever did, and considering for this purpose human any fictional humanoid species portrayed as having visually similar intimate anatomy or capable of visually similar sex acts); and either or both of:
-

-
There is an ugly project of the racist coupists to farm hate for LGBT communities.
Over and over again on exposure it is men in positions of authority, where men have power, where men hide behind their positions.
Because it's about abuse.

The Guardian: Rising number of UK children report seeing explicit deepfakes of themselves. “The Report Remove service, which blocks intimate images from appearing online, said there had been a rapid increase in imagery that had been digitally manipulated or ‘faked’ in some way, including with AI and nudification tools. In the first six months of this year it received 420 reports from children […]

Telegram na chwilę usunięty z AppStore
Apple wykopało Telegrama ze swojego sklepu. Ale niestety, chwilę później przywróciło. Powodem była publikacja CSAM. Durov twierdzi, że Telegram padł ofiarą ataku. Stać za nim miała grupa, która celowo publikuje takie materiały na platformach, a potem domaga się okupu. Jak go nie otrzymuje, to zgłasza aplikację do sklepów, aby ją “ukarać”.

Ostensibly about the movie Hard Candy, but actually about our societal acceptance and protection of (mostly) male sexual predators (real-life and fictional), and punishment and dismissal of their victims, forever and always.

It is a trivial skill to install an #abliterated model.
Literally takes 2 steps.
You don't need #huggingface spacesOn the other hand the US techbros want to #regulateai in the worst possible way.
Ban #openweight models and make their in-house, commercial models the only legal #AiTake heed that you do not carry the water for the #broligarchy with your #csam outrage
I used to be an internet #freespeech activist (long before the term became a dog whistle for #fascists), much of the unfree Internet and oppressive #internet legislation of today was led by the "Think of the children!" narrative.
I don't know, maybe a good idea not to do the stupid thing AGAIN.

Dr. Paul #Bouchaud & Dr. Silvia #Semenzin of #AI Forensics have released a white paper about the unmoderated tools at #HuggingFace which allow the generation of Non-Consensual Intimate Images (#NCII) and #CSAM.
HuggingFace has an area called "#Spaces", with free interactive demos that let anyone run models in the browser without installing anything.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of them undress women and children with the simple prompt "Same face, undressed".
"investigating the platform's most widely used Hugging Face Spaces, found:
• 73% of monitored requests were sexual in nature.
• Of those, 83% sought to undress or otherwise sexualize a person.
• 95% targeted women.
• 6.7% targeted a minor. If fulfilled, these requests would constitute child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
• Only 3% of audited Spaces showed any evidence of output moderation."Overview: https://aiforensics.org/work/hugging-face-ncii

Being forced to have digital fingerprints of your files compared to a database is like having to provide fingerprints of all your visitors to your nearest police station, so they can "check" whether you are entertaining a criminal.
Whoever is in control of the database is enabled to "check" for whatever / whomever they want. That's the ultimate goal, and it's also what people need to understand before it's too late.
