And have actual meaningful consequences happen? I'am.

Twitter is creating CSAM, Meta & OpenAI pirate millions of books and Nvidia is playing some sort of shell game to pump their stock price.

If a regular person committed any of those offenses once they would be lucky to just to be sued but because of "AI" nothing happens to these companies.

Going through each of the cases:

>Twitter is creating CSAM

It's unclear whether generated CSAM is illegal, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_fictional_porn.... Moreover x/x.ai wasn't intentionally generating the images. Yes, someone intentionally set up grok to generate images, but nobody at x/x.ai was like "yes, let's generate some CSAM". That adds an additional layer of obfuscation that makes it harder to compare to a "regular person".

>Meta & OpenAI pirate millions of books

Give me a break. People on /r/datahoarders pirate millions of books all the time. Use a VPN and basically nobody bothers going after you. If anything Meta/OpenAI are getting harsher treatment than the average person because they're juicier defendants.

>Nvidia is playing some sort of shell game to pump their stock price

That's not even something that's illegal.

Arguing that a regular person needs to conceal their real identity with a VPN to pirate books is proof these companies aren't receiving special treatment for committing the same crimes is very confusing to me.

We know the identity of the companies committing the crimes.

We both know you don't actually believe that because neither of us would post generated CSAM.

That is literally my point?
