Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The law is not “powerless” that would assume politicians wanted to stop this from happening.

[–] jmp242@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The law in one country can't stop this from being done in other countries, and then exported over the internet around the world. It's a common issue where laws don't reach outside jurisdictions, but for many things on the internet, jurisdictions aren't an issue for accessing the service or content. It's the same issue with IP laws, or tax havens.

We manage to do it comparatively well with CSAM. I’m not suggesting we should go to that level of enforcement here, but it can and is being done pretty effectively (though not perfectly) when the type of illicit content is something we care far more strongly about prohibiting.

Well, i would assume the only relevant country would be the one the actors claim citizenship to. But assuming the country is against this, any power to stop it would be akin to stopping piracy. Its the same problem essentially, and we still derive a measure of success with some anti piracy measures, international pirates not withstanding

That's a darling world view ya got there. 🤗

IDK, personally I find it funny that people making shitload of money only because of their faces are suddenly discovering they are not that special. Like the songs made with AI auto tune that are getting more plays than originals. Hilarious.

That article led me to this total WTF.

I like Snoop but man, he will do so many shitty things for money.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Who'd have thought a guy who ostensibly got his start in violent street gangs selling drugs and pimping out women would do bad things for money?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I know nothing about his history. I thought he was mostly just a chill guy into weed and music. I understand he's made a shitload of money, but I guess I didn't expect it to be from things like that. Whatever, it's his identity he's selling.

I'm not meaning to be rude about him, he made great music, but I think he himself realized the dark past he had during his Snoop Lion period, where he started distancing himself from the guns and violence glorified in his youth.

I guess my point is simply Snoop has always been a capitalist at heart, someone who was willing to get his hands dirty to make money. He's more chill these days, and I'm glad for that, but to me the stuff he hawks for money isn't that surprising.

at what point does the "but thats not really [dead expert]!" objection begin to lose weight and whoever control the bot begins wielding it with authority? surely there will stages where tipping point percentages of the global population see these as true oracles :-/

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Those AI doesn't replicate a person's physical presence (...yet). This must be the starting point of any security systems or laws to prevent fraud and validate truthfulness.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Like documents that can identify a person and are illegal to counterfeit? Let's hope governments will create some soon. /s

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well, yes, bad governments + their surveillance and abuse : all that I agree should be undone.
Now, you may agree that no government also is bad ...and of course : a good government is good.
in some country one of the requirements to issue a passport is to have people you know (family//friends) to sign a paper saying they know you and the document you filled where okay. You recognize your family and friends and there is no artificial intelligence that can simulate their physical presence to you ...at least not yet !
