Thank goodness middle schoolers have fully developed adult emotional regulation, then.

How do you think kids develop emotional regulation exactly? Do you think it comes from hearing repeated "It's OK" after a child fell?

> How do you think kids develop emotional regulation exactly?

That depends on what they're exposed to, how much of it, and how quickly.

Too much nastiness and you get PTSD and catatonia, like kids in Gaza or child abuse victims. Or suicide.

Children need to experience bad stimuli, for sure. But that doesn't mean they can cope with unlimited really bad stimuli.

No. But it doesn't come from "you fucking idiot child, you can't even walk properly, you'll never amount to anything" either.

Well then they should be TAUGHT this. Because the technology isn't going away.

I believe you need to be taught that if you're under-developed you literally cannot be taught it yet.

(Alas I guess that might be true for this lesson too!)

How many cultures on the planet would not find "a photorealistic depiction of a specific teenager getting gangbanged" to be embarassing to said teenager?

Hopefully ALL of them when it becomes possible to effortlessly create fake images like this. It is the only reasonable long term reaction.

Kids already die from extended verbal abuse.

Why would we assume your scenario will occur with even more effective bullying if it isn't already with that?

how do you teach someone whose brain is still developing?

"hey kids, get used to being exploited sexually, as it would be too expensive to require massive multinational corporations to bother to regulate AI"

Teaching someone when their brain is still developing is the BEST TIME to teach them.

Open models cannot be regulated. The genie is out of the bottle permanently.

You can leave the "almost" out. That was an absolutely deranged comment that completely ignores reality.

Expecting people to react to AI generated porn of them like it was real forever is what is actually absolutely derange.

The way people react to things isn't set in stone and people will HAVE to adapt to this technology.
