They need to fear the first image generated, not the 1000th one.
If a user generates 1 pic a minute, in a day he generates 1440 pics, that means potentially 1440 people hurt by a single asshole in a day.
I don’t care how much it will cost to xitter, I care for how much will those people suffer.
Xitter needs to be worried that a single user generates one image, not that a bunch of assholes generate some thousands or even a million images because for each image, there’s gonna be a person (or more) suffering.
Obviously yes, one image is too many. But companies only care about money, and if their money is going to evaporate because of their stupid technology, they’ll figure out a way to shut it off before it costs them.
The alternative is the status quo, which is that there are no consequences so there are no changes. Or maybe you make the fine ten quadrillion dollars for the first image generated, which is never gonna fly.
Yeah, but let’s get to the worst case scenario: A bunch of assholes star generating images like crazy. They manage to create some million images of innocent people. So many images that xitter can’t pay the fine, get dissolved and that’s all.
Meanwhile, millions of people have pornographic deepfakes of them on the internet, FOREVER.
No. We can’t wait for that to happen, xitter needs to close the technology before the first image puts them in trouble.

That is why this bill imposes heavy fines. No company has good reason to operate a tool like this if every single nude generated can cost them half a million dollars each.
This bill isn’t a “you can do this but we’ll give you a slap on the wrist each time you do” bill, it’s a “if you build a tool like this and let it loose, your company is going bankrupt and we’re talking your life savings, so you’d better not”
