      Well it is Zuckerberg, he seems exactly like the kind of bitter nerd that wouldn’t pay for porn even when he has all the money he could ever ask for.

        But didn’t he go to one of the best universities in the world. Isn’t that really the point of him. The hell is he bitter about?

          Bitter about any woman he thought was hot that wouldn’t date him.

    One does not torrent porn by accident, so Meta is doing this on purpose and hoping they don’t get caught.

    And if they do, so what? Any legal consequences would have very little impact on the benefits they gained.

    META wins again.

    I’ve visited CivitAi a while back and it was full of lewd models and LoRA’s. Based on that I do think that AI generated porn unironically has the most potential of all their AI products so far. It makes sense for them to do this.
