Fitzgerald’s is a rare case where an official employed by the state’s top law enforcement and legal office has been accused of making and distributing AI CSAM, although some cops have been arrested for the crime. Earlier this year, a Pennsylvania cop was arrested for making AI porn from photos on driver’s licenses, and more recently in Korea, a police officer was arrested for making AI porn, including CSAM, The Korea Times reported.

In New Jersey, the deputy attorney general has been charged with possession of CSAM, dissemination of photos or film of CSAM, and “criminal use of a communication facility,” detectives said.

    Pigs don’t do this, except for all the times they did. LOL

    I have made multiple videos lately intended to bring more visibility to the fact that American tech companies, and their models, are either being used to generate CSAM or promote people internationally who do, so seeing this headline makes my morning.

    I personally don’t care if it was produced artificially or not. These sick fucks need to be imprisoned and thrown in gen pop.

      If it’s produced artificially, then he hasn’t done any ill to a living person. He has polluted the Web, but in doing that has reduced the demand for non-artificial CSAM. It’s like “posting goatse in Facebook” level of crime at best.

      And you are calling for him to be imprisoned for being a “sick fuck”, that is, for thought crime caused by mental illness.

      Other than the latter being a circumstance, thought crimes are not a thing for any decent person, AFAIR.

      Otherwise I’d want for sick fucks like you not understanding that a crime is a violation of someone else’s rights to be preventively imprisoned. That at least fits said condition.

        Wtf no, this is far worse! Goatse, afaik, was photographed and published consensually. Artificial CSAM is constructed from real CSAM, to the point that real CSAM victims have sued people who generated material resembling the victim.

      The companies that provide the bots should also be punished somehow. It’s clear they either don’t have any safeguards in place or the ones they have are insufficient.

        100%

        Right now the only real accountability for these companies is when they get sued or put on blast enough on social media. I think that will eventually change, but it won’t happen due to the legal system in the US. It’ll happen because some random country put their foot down internationally.

      The CSAM was not “produced artificially”, but rather trained on actual abuse images, with real victims.

      Each “artificial image” is a kaleidoscope of a thousand children being raped.

        You’re welcome to downvote me if you think so, but I assure you, my videos are tech critiques and not CSAM.
