For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

In the UK before AI even existed our laws covered this and make it illegal.

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Afaik loli is also illegal and considered CSAM in the US so I have no idea why AI images wouldnt be similarly illegal

Logically, I mean. Practically, like most things in America, I know the answer is "because rich people want it that way, fuck you"

Hey, maybe that ruthless capitalist puppet cares.

Maybe that's his dry logic way to keep the pedos away from real children.

Maybe it's not because ... y'know, ... how it looks on the face of it.

... Or maybe it's all another "protect the children" ploy to terrorise us into giving more power to big baron daddy [corpo-]gov.

But naw... surely not all that sardonic satirical cynicism.

Maybe they care. ......................... /s .

... After reading a few comments... a figure creeps into my mind from memory...

8 million.

That's how many children we're estimated to lose to the traffickers ((or whoever else) for who knows what horrors), per year, globally.

... And I don't think either of these, the politicians or the capitalists, are going to do even one honest thing to help solve this.

... And yet at their disposal, is the means.

... The stench of these psychopaths using this crime [as vast as it is], as a mere tool to carry on with all their other crimes, is sickening. ... How many of the 8 million, are used, not just to be abused, raped, eaten, but as tools of blackmail to usurp all these pseudo-democracies at these single points of failure, "our" "representatives", as they doubtless do throughout industry and elsewhere too. No strongman saviour to save us, nor our children.

We have to face the horror and come up with better/real remedies to this unacceptable monstrous situation.

[That 8 million figure, I heard elaborated upon, how it was derived, how it was extrapolated, estimated based on the known missing children and so on, from an "ex-"cia guy on some podcast interview... which I failed to find in a timely manner to add as reference here.]

Musk is already directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people at the very least.

He is not vile

He is pure evil

When I grew up, I saw so many cartoons and kid shows that showed some evilndude being stopped by a hero and if not that, all of humanity

In reality, there are no heroes, just humanity, and much, if not most of humanity doesn't even allow him to live, they allow himn to continue to kill and they celebrate his evil mind

I think John Brown is still a hero.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because building a tool that can do anything is easier than building a tool that can't do evil.

It's the gun argument, where they absolve themselves and pass all responsibility to the end user.

[–] adhdsergio@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is the grownup and correct answer imo

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It may be the grownup answer, but given the absolute prevelence of baby rape amongst the epstein class.. We can wager that its not the correct answer, because it is stopping them from accessing a kind of baby rape (that was probably generated thanks to hundreds of thousands of images of actual baby rape being used in training).

because lets face it, Theres been no repercussions for any of it thus far, Why would they expect there to be any in the future.

[–] adhdsergio@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not saying I don't think it's possible, it's just that training models is not done by just Elon and a laptop on the sofa with a box of tissues - it's probably a small army of professionals that would all be aware of and have access to child porn - I just don't think (or don't want to believe?) there's no one who would blow the whistle

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I just don’t think (or don’t want to believe?) there’s no one who would blow the whistle

Epstein ran a child sex ring for at least 20 years, and for most of that time we heard almost nothing umtil the end.. and largely, i imagine, because trumps an idiot in decline.

[–] man_wtfhappenedtoyou@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

People come forward and then they are silenced.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

the entire point of AI is to remove accountability from the process. if there are consequences, theres no reason to use AI and Elon's investments are wasted.

TEMU Lex Luther can fuck right off

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

He wants it banned for two reasons: he's a pedophile and twatter makes him $$$ off child porn.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

because high percentage of people using grok/ X are pedos themselves, also strong correlation to them being right wing.

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

Man would it be crazy if Elon's lawyers magically had their fingers broken?

[–] tobebannedbygaymods@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'm more concerned about the origins of data used by Musk's Company to train the models !

He literally begged Epstein to let him show up on the Epstein child sex trafficking island. It doesn't take a genius to answer the title.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is Elon the only person on the planet who wanted to and could afford to go to pedo island but got turned down?

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

That was in the same email conversation where Epstein mentioned the helicopter.

"Epstein’s pilots kept standard FAA flight logs, listing takeoff/landing airports and crew, not details about passengers. Logs introduced in court only show names when required and are not full passenger manifests".

So it's entirely possible he did visit the island, just that there's no evidence recorded in a log of who went via helicopter (or, at least, none made public), unlike that for the 'Lolita Express', for example.

As least, that's what I believe.
