I believe in solutions to reduce the damage of drugs, and illegal porn sounds to me very similar.

I don’t think that a pedo would spontaneously go to a doctor to be helped. He would remain hidden until discovered. I also don’t think that all of them go beyond videos. In this sense a channel that keeps them away from the actual exploitation, like AI-generated content, may save some kids from becoming victims.

It’s a very controversial topic though, and surely there won’t be a public debate anytime soon.

Necessary disclaimer: I’m 100% against that shit.

Hear this: what about AI-generated illegal videos as a sort of methadone for perverts? There’s a whole debate right now and it’s not trivial stuff.

Quite frankly, I’m more concerned of the profile they would be able to build with all my interests (because ID will be extended to everything), and by the fact that small independent websites (or even Wikipedia!) may be banned.

But yeah, data leaks are concerning too.

They do it right, it’s just that the goal is not to protect the kids but identify the adults.

I’m more worried by idiots accessing internet because clearly it isn’t a tool for everyone. Instead of an ID, there should be a captcha to measure the users intelligence and culture to keep out the fools without reasoning capabilities.

Kids always found ways to satisfy their curiosity when nature brings them there, even before internet. These laws are 100% attempts to impose control and surveillance with the excuse of “protecting the innocents”.

By the way: in my scale of things that kids shouldn’t see, porn comes after violence, misinformation, political extremism (both sides), racism, homophobia, and religion. I find absurd that none of them is even on the table… maybe because the pro-id people tend to be fascists with racist and homophobic views and an head full of BS and fear for God.

I can do most of my work from my phone and it’s great because I don’t need to carry my laptop everywhere. For unplanned interventions, it’s just awesome. Of course it’s not for the everyday work.

If you need a quick&dirty piece of code, you can generate it by firing some prompts into an LLM. You can get a decent result if you know what you are doing. It may not be production-ready, but often it’s a good starting point. This is NOT vibe coding.

Vibe coding is what people who don’t know what they are doing do when they try the process above, and think it’s production-ready.
