    If we have the tech to change people’s brains in such a way, what else will it gets used on? Ethically, there’s differences between pedophilia and other sexual preferences but I don’t know if there’s any biological differences. Given conversion camps are already a problem despite not working, I can’t see how they wouldn’t become a bigger problem if they did actually do what they claimed…

      We have the tech right now to shoot people dead. It’s just tech, create laws about what’s acceptable to do with it and what’s not.

        Even when conversion camp stuff is illegal, people still try it. Even if just DIY abuse (which is also illegal and still common). Simply not having the tech may be preferable to having the tech/knowledge, making it illegal to use it, and then people use it illegally anyways. If child abuse in general was something that could have just not been invented, not inventing it would be far superior to inventing it and then making it illegal.

          This thread is about how to regulate AI-generated child porn, that’s going to require creating laws too.

          What’s your proposed alternative to using laws to regulate tech?

            I was just saying that this tech that shoots people dead isn’t really regulated all too well in certain parts of the world.

              Well, mainly just one. There are lots of other places in the world that do okay at it.
