Its more complex and worse than that. They use this as proof of their technology so that they win government weaponisation contracts and the governments are paying them to make more genAI.
Meanwhile its becoming illegal to view a real person naked...

Also wait... There was a war on Protein?
Is this like a euphemism?
Is it too early to remind US citizens that they are basically sacks of meat now given their current regime. #soylent

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'

DO NOT TOUCH WILDLIFE. DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE AND HABITUATE IT TO HANGING OUT AROUND HUMANS. DO NOT HANDLE WOUNDED WILDLIFE, CALL A PROFESSIONAL.
EXTREMELY DO NOT BREASTFEED BATS.

If you dig far enough you find out why Trump has a hard on for punishing Maduro. Maduro has dirt on Trump's real estate being used for money laundering.

Real estate mogul Trump sold condos to regime-connected Venezuelans
At least half a dozen Venezuelans linked to government officials purchased Trump condominiums in New York City and South Florida prior to Trump becoming president.

Unfortunately, this is more a market grab than a resource grab.
This is cutting out a supplier and I wouldn't bet against the US positioning themselves to be the first to help Russia recover given all the tankers they lost recently.

See. This is how you create a new Al Qaeda/ISIS or at - but only 3000mi from your territory. Didn't learn a thing from Ireland or any other historical bullying. GG USA.

Every time AI does something that was totally predictable and awful, take a drink.
Child exploitation content on X/Twitter sharply increased under Musk, who not only abruptly disbanded the group of volunteer experts advising the platform on child safety, image exploitation, and other abuses in 2022, but tried to blame them for the company's CSAM problem www.npr.org/2022/12/12/1...

This was all new to me and unfortunately I went down the rabbit hole to the amazingly bad trash fire that is Epic Games's KWS company.
That said, some clever people have implemented solutions here for anyone that has bothered to read this far.

For those with their heads in the sand. This means passing private info off to an offshore 3rd party that isn't MS or Google to use AI to make that decision with no guarantee of data safety.
