Locally run video models that are just as good as today’s closed models are going to be the watershed moment

The companies doing foundational video models have stakeholders that don’t want to be associated with what people really want to generate

But they are pushing the space forward and the uncensored and unrestricted video model is coming

Maybe. The question is, will legislation be fast enough? Maybe, if people keep going for politician porn: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/28/outrage-in-ita...

Well considering it has been possible to produce similar doctored images for decades at this point, I think we can conclude legislation has not been fast enough.

That article is nothing to do with AI, really.

		and people focus way too much much on superimposed images instead of completely new digital avatars, which is what’s already taking off now

Nobody wants to make a commercial NSFW model that then suffers a jailbreak... for what is the most illegal NSFW content.

Thats the thing, what’s “illegal” will challenge our whole society when it comes do dynamically generated real interactive avatars that are new humans

When it comes to sexually explicit content in general with adults, all of our laws rely on the human actor existing

FOSTA and SESTA is related to user generated content of humans, for example. They rely on making sure an actual human isnt being exploited and burdening everyone with that enforcement. When everyone can just say “thats AI” nobody’s going to care and platforms will be willing to take that risk of it being true again - or a new hit platform will. That kind of content currently Doesnt exist in large quantities yet, until a video model ungimped can generate it.

Concerns about trafficking only rely on actual humans not entirely new avatars

regarding children there are more restrictions that may already cover this, there is a large market for just adult looking characters though and worries about underage can be tackled independently. or be found entirely futile. not my problem, focus on what you can control. this is whats coming though.

people already dont mind parasocial relationships with generative AI and already pay for that, just add nudity

It's going to be really weird when huge swaths of the internet are illegal to visit outside the USA because you keep running into that kind of AI generate "content".

Why is this illegal btw? I mean whats stopping an AI company from releasing a proper NSFW model? I hope it doesn't happen but I want to know what prevents them from doing it now.

in some jurisdictions generating a swastika or a hammer and sickle is illegal.

that said, I'm sure you can imagine that the really illegal, truly, positively sickening and immoral stuff is children-adjacent and you can be 100% sure there are sociopaths doing training runs for the broken people who'll buy the weights.

Is it illegal to use mspaint to generate similar vile things?

		Not in the United States, but it is illegal in some jurisdictions. Additionally, the entire "payment processors leaning on Steam" thing shows that it might be very difficult to monetize a model that's known for generating extremely controversial content. Without monetization, it would be hard for any company to support the training (and potential release) of an unshackled enterprise-grade model.

		Most of Europe doesn't really have free speech, frankly most of the world doesn't. Privileges like making mspaint drawings of nearly whatever you want is pretty uniquely American.

The problem is the video models are only impressive in news stories about the video models. When you actually try to use them you can see how the marketing is playing to people's imagination because they are such a massive disappointment.
