New investigation from AI Forensics finds HuggingFace Spaces (which are subsidized) for "Image Editing" are primarily used to generate non-consensual intimate imagery of non-celeb real people, including CSAM, and lack even cursory "guardrails" (which are a scam). aiforensics.org/uploads/NCII...

Executive summary As the EU moves toward banning nudification applications, we assess how Hugging Face, the dominant open-source AI hosting platform, contributes to the risk of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), revealing: I. the near absence of safeguards deployed on Hugging Face’s “Spaces" II. the capabilities of the models powering them III. the apparent high prevalence of NCII in Hugging Face users’ usage. 73% of users' prompts are sexual 94% target (mostly ordinary) women ~4.5% involve minors Only 3% of the most-liked media "Spaces" verify whether the generated content is explicit. 7/9 of the top-ranked Image Editing "Spaces" allow users to undress individuals with simple prompts E.g., "same pose, same face, topless"

Quick thinking having a tablecloth handy. I didn’t even notice the twitching from that dead robot.

2700+ people in England & Wales died from heat-related causes during May and June. Most likely to be the poor, old. Yet there are climate change deniers who relentlessly push fossil fuels. Earth will be cinders by the time last drop of oil/gas is burnt.

More than 2,700 deaths linked to May and June heatwaves, study suggests

The analysis found that 42% died as a result of the extra heat caused by human activity - mostly burning fossil fuels.

I’m saddened to announce the passing of my work colleague, The Zodiac Killer. While we were often on opposing sides of the business, I always enjoyed his silly little scavenger hunts.
