Yes it is. Although I personally have far less moral objections to it.

To elaborate:
OpenAI scraped data without permission, and then makes money from it.

Deepseek then used that data (even paid openai for it), trained a model on that data, and then releases that model for anyone to use.

While it’s still making use of “stolen data” (that’s a whole semantics discussion I won’t get into right now), I find it far more noble than the former.

Thank you for your insightful comment, it tells me a lot. Mostly about you, but still.

I only know the guy from the thumbnails and dead eyes. But this really feels like reaching for a justification to hate.

If you’ve seen (also past tense) any movie by, for example, Bryan Singer, you have consumed art made by a pedophile.

I’m not defending him (I honestly don’t care about him), all I’m saying is that without any context, these kind of statements are kinda cheap and meaningless.

I’d say that federation is the core principle of the network, so centralisation by piling all the users and content onto one server is very undesirable.
(also looking at you, lemmy.world)

Yeah, if making money is evil, this guy is worse than Hitler!

Cue.

For those of us that are not familiar with all the (future) online laws worldwide, based on what clauses will they be shutting down?

I skimmed the article, but couldn’t find the specifics.

Oof.
“Why? Because Trump”

Can’t wait for these four years to be over. Not because I like him, but because I dislike him being brought up time and again for the sake of engagementbait.

Cars as a service? That might be debatable.

But taking the human factor out of driving cars and trucks is going to save millions of lives worldwide. That’s the inevitable safety progress I was talking about in my comment.

It’s not just the automotive industry that would be worried, that’s incredibly short-sighted. The transport sector, however, should be terrified. The amount of chauffeurs required in a few decades time will be just a few percentage of today’s amount.

And that, in turn, will have major ramifications for the social securities (UBI, anyone?)

But sure, let’s start with the American car makers, so they can lobby against this inevitable progress in safety.

Meanwhile, in the real world, creators just want to setup an account and sell their content. Not having to deal with payment processors, setting up cdns port handling customer support themselves.

There’s enough to complain about how OnlyFans impacts society (like creating fake interactions with customers who think they’re interacting with the real deal). But them wanting a cut for doing all the technical middleman stuff is actually reasonable.

No need for these kind of inflammatory comments, the article itself is bad enough.

If you read the article, you would have seen that, yes, the perpetrator is serving a 20 year sentence.

About that 20% cut - I’m not going to argue about what amount would be fair, but for that money they do handle all the payment, distribution and infrastructure. In that sense it’s more comparable to Steam, Apple, Google etc.

But that’s getting pretty off-topic.

Interesting title.

What could OnlyFans have done to prevent this?

2007

Absolutely.

The only reason Chrome has been slowing down the deprecation of 3rd party cookies is because it would make it harder to do privacy invading tracking, and thus, would make Google less money.

No browser benefits from tracking. Only ad companies do.

Meanwhile, nobody has attempted to give a definition. Lots of downvotes all around though. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I figured zionism had to do with an ideology, not a profession. Generalisations like these are not helping.

Yup, that’s it.

I just told you I I’m not sure of the definition, so asking me what I think it means is pointless. Though I’m pretty sure it’s not a group you can join like ISIS, right?
