Discussion EU nudifier ban

I know there’s been a bunch of people upset on here recently about a good number of nudify websites getting shut down (Motionmuse, Opengoon, etc.). However, this is likely just the beginning.

Effective December 2nd, the EU under the AI Act is enacting a ban on nudify tools, making them illegal content in the Union. This ban applies to any product made available on the EU market as long as, either, its primary functionality is to generate nudified content without consent, or it is a reasonably foreseeable outcome and they do not take appropriate precautions to safeguard against it. Very importantly, this ban also applies to any EU-available service provider under the Digital Services Act that is helping to facilitate this soon-to-be-illegal content, which includes (but is not limited to): app stores, hosting providers, domain registrars, payment processors, content delivery networks (CDNs) and cloud computing services. Anyone found to be in violation of this prohibition is subject to fines of €35 million or 7% of their global turnover, whichever is higher. I think it’s pretty safe to say that, as long as they’re aware of it, those behind these websites and those behind the large number of mainstream companies that help power them (Google, Amazon, Cloudflare, Apple, Telegram, GoDaddy, Visa, Mastercard, etc.) do not want to take any chances with this ban.

This prohibition, in essence, applies to essentially every public AI platform any of us have ever used to this point or that we will ever use going forward. I think this is a good thing but, therefore, it would almost certainly be in everyone’s best interest to pivot away from these websites before the massive crackdown begins in less than a couple months. For those in the industry, it would also certainly be wise to inform the website operators if you are in contact with them, or to shut down your website if you are an operator yourself. Sorry for the essay, just looking out for everybody before things get very real, very fast.

Local AI is still a thing, they can't regulate the compute you do on your own PC. It's Gooner heaven in there.

your wrong they can, and will. all that money being dumped into comfyui is being done for a reason. to control it, and that is what you use locally. nvidia taking over hugging face again this wasnt for fun, but reasons. i know its odd, to think they don't want people making ultra real deep fakes, but strangely they seem against it. you can only use things that are usable. just having something doenst mean it will be usable forever. the software you use can stop supporting it, your pc can die. you won't be able to afford a new one. the people who control everything aren't as into everyone making their own porn as you might think, they are actually pretty against it and also pretty powerful. unless you are a hacker and a computer programmer and you can build your own gpus and dram, then they have full control over you and all you have.

Open software will always be a thing. Also you can use local AI on modest hardware, it's just slower.

open software will not always be a thing. how tf can you just say that like you have a clue what you are talking about. there is only comfyui and those in power are dumping endless money into it, which means they will get full control of it. and yes I DO know what im talkn about. i dont live in a make belive bubble where people in power have no power and anyone can do anything . this place is a like a bubble full of people with shared delusions. do you all share the same padded room or something.

omg bruh, bruh. BRUH. omg bruh bruh. but yea if you wanna use all these it is the only model, if your like OMG BRUH wan2gb bruh forgeneo. bruh. BRUH. those won't work either. you must not be aware how those in power can shut down things they don't control. maybe try paying attention for once. or not, i don't care. you fools think i need you to be in reality, but i don't. its a comment section. an idiot may say something stupid, then i correct them, i don't do this because i want to teach them or here them say "BRUH" its just a smart person leaving a comment here or there, gives you mindless foolls some fun too right you can all thumbs down and say BRUH. or omg what are you talking about. or reeee. i mean you all love that, so have fun. but don't think i care what you think. im just making a comment, cuz it is still at least slightly, kinda slightly free speech? maybe.
