Internet Watch Foundation has found a manual on dark web encouraging criminals to use software tools that remove clothing. The manipulated image could then be used against the child to blackmail them into sending more graphic content, the IWF said.

and that is a way to abuse that technology that never crossed my mind. do I actually belong to this species?!
Yes, you do. We all have the potential for the most horrific acts of evil you can imagine in the right circumstances. That’s why we usually have such a hard time when we give people power to rule over others and need a convoluted system of checks and balances to make sure nobody becomes a dick. Yet it still happens. Benevolence is not the default human state. You have to work to stay that way. That ability separates us from the brutal world of the wild.
Not everyone tho i believe everyone is different that’s why some good people will never get into power or will be killed after getting power or just get the power taken from them because they are not corrupt enough to keep it kinda like why there are no ethical multi billionaires (atleast that i know of as of yet).
Everyone is not that different: after all, we all are the same biological species: homo sapiens
Bruh so is every dog or cat the same ?
Every wild dog will chase and eat prey and their own poop, and attack any dog that challenges them or their pack.
Every wild cat will chase and catch their prey, and then play with it while keeping it alive for a while until it ultimately dies.
Humans are basically dogs or cats that have 1000’s of societal incentives not to chase and play with prey, drilled into most of us from the beginning, but everyone still has that innate ability that will come out under the right circumstances. If civilization ended today, who you think you are, and what you think you are not capable of today, ends today.
Be honest: you never had any dark thoughts? Never did anything bad?
Yes, you might not be doing this particular bad thing. Yes, your inhibition of your dark thoughts might be better. Yes, you might be very sheltered and have a loving upbringing.
But I’m pretty sure if you truly look inside yourself without shying away, you will see that yes, you belong to this species.
oh sure. fleeting flights of fancy. thats why people get killed in moments of passion type of thing. but think about it. they have the thoughts about the kids and they have ai that pretty much should theoretically get what they want but no. that is not good enough. they need to use it to extort them. this really is beyond me. im pretty sure in this scenario I would stop at jacking to the ai solution. its like I might kill someone to defend my life or a loved ones life or maybe an innocents life and maybe I could be angry enough to do it as well. but like kill just to kill or something. thats wack.
I do have some dark thoughts at time.
But they never include minors.
You: Yeah sure, but I never did this particular bad thing.
Welcome to the species, bud. We’re all a little mad here.
