Post argues model roleplay examples are legal, not criminal
BlancheMinerva · x · 2026-07-28
The post argues that the paper’s case studies are not criminal acts but examples of legally permissible behavior that the authors personally dislike. It specifically says that training a model to talk like Hitler or to engage in sexual roleplay, including CSAM roleplay, is not itself a crime.
The exchange frames the issue as a disagreement about legality versus distaste, rather than an accusation of criminal conduct.
