People Are Making Sora 2 (AI) Videos of Stephen Hawking Being Horribly Brutalized

[highplainsdem]

Futurism article from yesterday that I didn't see till tonight. I posted an LBN thread of OpenAI starting to put some guardrails on Sora 2 videos because of copyright worries - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143543743 - but I don't know if psychopathic videos like the ones described here are still allowed.

The ethics of puppeteering the likeness of a dead person are dicey at best. But for a glimpse of the real rock bottom of the nascent Sora 2 content ecosystem, consider a wave of videos that show famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking — who used a wheelchair since the late 1960s due to the motor neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which ultimately led to his death in 2018 — being brutalized in a range of horrifying ways.

In one video, a forklift delivers Hawking’s wheelchair into a WWE-style ring, where he’s immediately knocked to the ground by burly wrestlers.

In another, Hawking is trampled by a raging bull. In another, he’s attacked by a crocodile that drags him into a muddy river. In yet another, he drops into a skateboarding halfpipe and wipes out badly, smoke pouring from his wheelchair.

-snipping a couple of paragraphs about OpenAI saying Sora will block depictions of public figures but would "allow the generation of historical figures"-

If the company is opting to allow videos of dead public figures, is anything fair game, regardless how violent or grotesque? If the company is allowing footage of a man in a wheelchair being beaten and bludgeoned, it’s hard to imagine what isn’t allowed.

What kind of maniac would think of creating something as evil as that? Smh.

3. Anyone who creates something like that...

…and maybe even people who watch something like that, we need to surreptitiously keep an eye on. This goes beyond ‘boys will be boys’.

4. So Evil

“These violent delights have violent ends“ - Shakespeare


Some humans are sick individuals, seems the more that crawl out from under their rocks, the more that appear.
I don’t think any other animal on this planet has this type of sickness, this enjoyment of watching the helpless suffer.

It’s horrifying.

5. I came across the skateboarding one yesterday

The word "deplorable" comes to mind.

6. Why promote it?

Best to let it sink without clicks.

7. Who's promoting it? This is a thread about a news story on how AI is being misused.

9. Fair enough. I stand corrected.

10. Thanks for understanding. I hate much of what's being done with AI, but it won't go away if we

ignore it. And there's some evidence that having the worst things they're allowing exposed will get the AI companies to act slightly more responsibly.
