There’s no “justifying” anything - the tech is here. Even if you ban it globally, it would actually stop be here and would still be able to cause harm - it would just not be able to be used for good either.




The technology is currently being heavily subsidized and made widely available. If we decided to ban it globally things would look very different. Would it be worthwhile for scammers to run a massive server farm and spend thousands on training and generation? Maybe? It would certainly reduce the quantity.

If you think the tech only exists via mega corporations apps, then you’re very misinformed.

You can generate videos locally. The models anlready exist.


The mirror climbing tech chaps are doing to justify the technology per se is the most baffling I’ve seen years of following in tech. It exists therefore it has to be out there. Imagine if we applied that to industrial chemicals, pharmaceutical products, or literally any other industrial endeavor. It’s particularly pathetic to watch the absolutely non-existent level of self reflection.
