Alibaba Releases Advanced Open Video Model, Immediately Becomes AI Porn Machine
It took about 24 hours for Alibaba’s Wan 2.1 to become popular in the AI porn community.

But the thing is it's not a relevant law here at all as nothing is being distributed and no one is being harmed. Would you say the same thing if AI is not involved? Sure it can be creepy and weird and whatnot but it's not inhertly harmful or at least it's not obvious how it would be.
the only perceivable reason to create these videos is either for private consumption, in which case, who gives a fuck. Or for public distribution, otherwise you wouldn't create them. And you'd have to be a bit of a weird breed to create AI porn of specific people for private consumption.
If AI isn't involved, the same general principles would apply, except it might include more people now.
I've been thinking about this more and I think one interesting argument here is "toxic culture growth". As in even if the thing is not distributed it might grow undesired toxic cultures througu indirect exposures (like social media or forums discussions) even without the direct sharing.
I think this is slippery to the point of government mind control but maybe there's something valuable to research here either way.

this is another big potential as well. Does it perpetuate cultural behaviors that you want to see in society at large? Similar things like this have resulted from misogyny and the relevant history of feminism.
It's a whole thing.

i think there is probably a level of government regulation that is productive, i'm just curious about how we even define where that line starts and ends, because there is not really an explicitly clear point, unless you have solid external inferences to start from.
Honestly I'm quite happy with "social justice warrior" approach. Sure it's flawed and weak to manipulation for now but as a strategy for society to self correct its quite brilliant.
I'm optimistic society itself should be able to correct itself for this issue as well though considering the current climate the correction might be very chaotic.
i mean, i'm not sure modern social justice is working as intended given the political landscape, but historically small communities do manage to self regulate very effectively, that one is for sure. I will give you that.
The only effective way to mandate something at a societal level is going to be laws, i.e. government, otherwise you're going to have an extremely disjointed and culturally diverse society, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
