Japanese bloke collared after using AI software to uncensor smut and flogging it
A man was detained in Japan for selling uncensored pornographic content that he had, in a way, depixelated using machine-learning tools. Masayuki Nakamoto, 43, was said to have made about 11 million yen ($96,000) from peddling over 10,000 processed porn clips, and was formally accused of selling ten hardcore photos for 2,300 …

Re: Ask Delphi<...>; no one is actually using it to make decisions.
From a logic point of view if something makes "everyone happy" it got to be good? Which is where logic and language fails.
The idea that everyone could agree anything is very unlikely, so unlikely that it can be called impossible.

I was about to suggest the word "yet" be added to the title... But on second and third thought and involving FB, I'm not so sure that it's not already here.

Silly censorship
As far as can tell, the Japanese don't block the downloading of de-pixelated porn from foreign sites. Nor do they prevent their local stars from flying to the production capital of porn (Southern California), filming some stuff and shipping it back home.
It's just a law left on the books since repressed Protestant missionaries suggested it and now nobody in their Parliament has the nerve to be the one to suggest getting it off the books.

Re: Silly censorship
One does wonder why the defendant went to the trouble of using AI to depixelate... as Paul H points out above there is no shortage of porn in which the pixelation never occurred.
Perhaps he was hoping for a defence of 'no, no, it's not a real genital part, look, it was made by a robot!'?

"there is no shortage of porn in which the pixelation never occurred"
Some of the aficionados of the particular genre and fans of specific actors become obsessed with specific scenes. IMO, at that point, it's time to seek help. But then who am I to judge another's peccadillos when I have so .... No! Wait! Forget I said that.

There was a TV doctor show where the main character often said he "needed to go home and download porn as the internet keeps getting filled up with it". The guy was doing his part it seems.

Smart bombs
Obviously, Ask Delphi isn’t bad or good per se, it just doesn’t know what it’s talking about. It doesn’t understand what genocide is. Words mean nothing to the software; they’re just numerical concepts stored as vectors. What is interesting is that the experiment shows how easy it is to manipulate the outputs of these models by tweaking the inputs.
All this applies to humans too. I'm not up to date but for decades polls showed most Britons support the reintroduction of the death penalty especially after a heinous crime highlighted in the media.
Politicians, to their credit, have ignored that 'democratic' opinion. A flaw in democracy is how easy it is to manipulate public opinion on any issue by controlling the inputs - Daily Mail, Sun, Daily Express et al - then informed argument is just mob mentality mind controlled by an oligarchical elite.
In case anyone supports the death penalty then I briefly did prisoner support and the petty injustices surprised me. One example though was an admitted murderer who'd served his thirty year tariff, but was still being held for political reasons. Still is. He said to me he'd have preferred execution than being held indefinitely for no good reason.
We need better, less hacked, inputs ie journalism and protection for journalism.

I don't see hardcore photos on the streets ...
... but I was taught drawing and painting as a young student ... starting work with nudes. The process was to draw the nude and then cloth it in the painting so that the image was structured well and natural - and then I studied human biomechanics later, learning how people move and a huge variety of bodies - as a result people's clothes are irrelevant to me, I know how everyone looks naked when we are all walking in the street.
I'm posting anonymously because these days this is seen as "bad" but the result for me is that I have a complete lack of interest in pornography - nudity means virtually nothing to me, it just meant hard work as a student painting the clothes over the nudes most of the time. In my mind everyone is naked under their clothes as a result.

Re: I don't see hardcore photos on the streets ...
LOL, I was on Sand Key Beach in Florida back in the days when you had a walk about a mile up a path to get there and it was always full of naked people. After a few hours on the beach the coast guard showed up just off shore and everyone covered themselves up with towels or put their cloths back on ... the coast guard got on the horn and told us that we were committing a crime because we were all naked underneath our towels so everyone ran off - there was no way the coast guard could get ashore to do anything because the water was too shallow. About half the people showed back again when the coast guard took off to check on another beach.
