The government can't even stop people from plugging in yandex.ru into their browsers and gaining instant access to any movie they wish to consume in seconds.
Hell, The Pirate Bay itself is still operating just fine two entire decades later and the only hitch is that you have to google "piratebay mirror" and use one of those links.
I get a feeling people here vastly overestimate the required HW needed for generating random NSFW images because so much discussion is about LLMs that do require an order or two of magnitude more HW. If you don't care much about prompt understanding, concept flexibility or accuracy of poses and such, even "ancient" (ie. SDXL) models are more than capable of doing the job on piddly half a decade old computers that can be bought for $300 second hand.

I’m not talking about old high end gpus but the middle / low-middle end that’s now eclipsed even by integrated gpus. When you equalize for processing power, gpus are still way cheaper than when the hw that was capable of image generation first became common (which was several years before the software was invented). You really don’t need a 32 GB 5090 just to do some basic NSFW generation / inpainting.

I suspect most major AI’s will simply not allow you to turn pictures pornographic.
That is just a speedbump. All you have to do is reverse the direction. Take a random porn image, inpaint some clothes on it locally (doesn’t have to be very high quality, this is just to pass any censorship of the faceswap model), then do an AI face swap and finally unmask the original pornographic parts using standard non-AI editing. Hell, you could probably not even bother with the clothes by just using a closeup crop of the porn model’s face and then copy paste the result over the original.

Why would that be the case when a seven year old laptop is already powerful enough to do it? You don’t need fancy new hardware when the existing far from top of the line hardware will do fine.

My guess is that there might be an opening where very low-fidelity renderings are used to map out the action on screen
Something very much like this will be a near certainty because trying to prompt detailed poses, positions, proportions, movement paths and so on is a fool's errand. Pure written language is a horrible inefficient way to do such things while a 3D modeler uses an interface optimized for that and provides realtime feedback to the user.

Yes and no. Any part that can be CnC'd can be essentially perfect provided it uses quality materials (which is very much not the norm when you get to 90% of MIC / MII / MIK guitars with eg. a Floyd Rose bridge). There's still a lot of hands on work required and much of this is crucial for really good playability. It doesn't matter if the neck itself has been built to exacting tolerances if the frets are uneven and your local guy charges $200 or more to fix that. And it's not that those far east OEM builders can't build a guitar with high quality manual work but when they're still essentially competing on price, the brands are very tempted to choose the cheaper package which means less hands on time which in turn means lower quality. I expect we'll see high end MIC / MIK brands emerge that are going to compete on name recognition and quality instead of low price.
Of course if the goal is just to surpass Gibson quality and consistency, well, any Squier probably already does that at a tenth or less of the price.
As a rule most guitarists are braindead idiots so you very rarely see them understand what quality control even means and how it's completely pointless to make statements about quality of some brand / line based on single specimens. Yes, that particular $300 guitar might play better than that particular $3000 guitar (with often different specs even!) but to say anything authoritative you'd need to compare dozens of specimens of identically specced guitars which unfortunately nobody ever does. Then you get idiotic statements like "Well I haven't played a cheap guitar that feels the same as my [insert specs here] Gibson (a brand known for extreme variance) so they can't be any good" as well as "I like my $400 Squier better than a $3000 Stratocaster so it never makes sense to pay more than $500 for a guitar" (nevermind that there are smaller brands whose entire focus is on the highest build quality instead of vintage accuracy).
VHS tapes / DVDs killed the dirty movie theater. Online porn killed DVDs.
