1,000 per MONTH., per an article in The Guardian this morning. I had to read the headline three times. The article is horrific.

3. how about use that stupid ai for something useful?

Jones said images already circulating, which represent the majority of such abuse, could be identified by tech companies and taken down. “They could stop a lot more. So if you have an unencrypted environment where AI is used to detect known images, that is the low-hanging fruit that we should expect is no longer available on the open web, and that is something that we’ve talked about a lot for many, many years: that technology is available, it is detectable, it can be taken down. So we should no longer be finding known images.”

5. Scary:

"If you go into an online forum and you’ve got a sexual interest in children, you’ll be told that you are normal".
"Normal"!?! What is wrong with some people?
