I'm The Mounty Presents from Youtube and FenrirofSolaris on Twitch. I post here for updates, and other stuff that is on my mind. P/N: They/Them

A lot of people are mad at the judge for this and I was about to do the same. But then I looked at a recent article and he agrees that this is fucked up but can only do so much as an appeal judge. So the real target of my anger is at the Supreme Court, make an addendum or something regarding this.

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking

A federal judge has ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess child sexual abuse content created using Al if it does not depict a real person and remains in the home.
On Tuesday, Judge John Z. Lee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess images or videos of child sexual abuse created using artificial intelligence if the material does not depict a real person and remains in the home. In his ruling, Judge Lee urged the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue of virtual abuse material of children in the age of Al, suggesting that technological advances complicate existing legal precedent.
The case Lee ruled on came about in 2024 when the Department of Justice brought charges against Steven Anderegg, alleging that he used Al to create thousands of explicit images of children. He was accused of breaking federal obscenity laws by producing, distributing and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Anderegg sought to have the possession and production charges dismissed under the First Amendment. Last year, a judge in the Western District of Wisconsin agreed to dismiss the possession charge, prompting the federal prosecutors to appeal.
Lee, in his ruling upholding the lower court's decision, cited the precedent set by Supreme Court rulings from 1969 and 2002. One held that individuals have a right to possess obscenity in the privacy of their home. The other found that "virtual" child sexual abuse material, not depicting a real person is not child pornography.

Life is like a train and you are its sole conductor. As time goes on, you gain new crew and passengers and lose some returning ones but you always build memories with those people and on the train ride itself. Eventually, that train will stop touching the track but it was a good time while it lasted

Man, if only there was a way to make more money like licensing their characters to popular gacha games, or letting other devs make games with the license. Could get a new Ikari Warriors game, a non RTS Metal Slug, could get a new Samurai Showdown game. Like, do shit with your properties.

SNK sees operating loss of $125 million and widening deficit despite revenue growth https://automaton-media.com/en/news/snk-sees-operating-loss-of-125-million-and-widening-deficit-despite-revenue-growth/

Ah yes, the same franchise that allows me to fly various planes without licenses, same with vehicles, kill hundreds of civilians with the only real punishment being a loss in money(since despite having day and night, there's no actual sense of time in these games), wants to be realisitic with gas

GTA 6 Cars Need Gas, According To New Leaks, And Fans Are Split: "They Need To Remove That ASAP" "FINALLY!" "I don't need that" "Hell yeah!"

Ah yes, because hiring people who have experience with on the fly planning and quick reactions as well as experience with talking into an ear piece is a stupid idea. You know, ATC have notoriously low amounts of members working, why don't you apply if this is a problem?

A TV talkshow host running the Pentagon? A podcaster running the FBI? A kook with no medical background running the National Institute of Health? A home builder with no intelligence as Director of National Intelligence? Gamers as air traffic controllers? This is not a serious administration.

I'm of two minds with this. On the one hand, I get not showing it to kids because it's a tricky thing to discuss and handle well since it involves stuff they haven't developed yet. On the other hand, when is it a good time to teach your spawn about this? They'll find out eventually.

Disney has now shelved three episodes featuring storylines centered on transgender characters and gender identity. The episodes, from ‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur,’ ‘The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,’ and ‘Win or Lose,’ were either cut from release or have since leaked online.

Funny how Visa and Mastercard can move mountains to try an financially deplatform Itch, but remain completely silent over this. I guess corporate "morality" stops where a trillion-dollar company's ad revenue begins. Consistency is only for platforms too small to fight back.

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.
