Alibaba’s AI Model Sparks Chaos in Just One Day

Alibaba’s latest AI video generation model, Wan 2.1, was meant to be a breakthrough in open-source technology. However, within a day of its release, it was adopted by AI porn creators, sparking concerns over its potential for misuse. While open AI models democratize access to powerful tools, they also raise ethical issues, particularly in the creation of non-consensual content. The rapid adoption of Wan 2.1 highlights this ongoing challenge.

Alibaba, the Chinese tech giant, recently released its new AI video generation model, Wan 2.1, making it freely accessible to those with the necessary hardware and expertise. While this open-source approach empowers developers and researchers, it also comes with a dark side. Within just 24 hours, the AI porn community seized the opportunity to produce and share dozens of explicit videos using the new software.

Even more concerning is the reaction from a niche online community dedicated to creating nonconsensual AI-generated intimate media of real people. Users on Telegram and similar platforms quickly celebrated Wan 2.1’s capabilities, praising its ability to handle complex movements and enhance the quality of AI-generated adult content. One user, referring to Tencent’s Hunyuan AI model (another tool popular in these circles), noted, “Hunyuan was released just in December, and now we have an even better text-to-video model.”

This is the ongoing dilemma of open AI models. On one hand, they offer groundbreaking possibilities, allowing developers to experiment, innovate, and improve AI technology. On the other, they can be easily exploited to create unethical and harmful content, including deepfake pornography.

Rapid Adoption in AI Porn Communities

The speed at which Wan 2.1 was adapted for explicit content was staggering. The first modifications of the model appeared almost immediately on Civitai, a site known for hosting AI-generated models. By the time initial reports surfaced, multiple variations of Wan 2.1 had already been downloaded hundreds of times. Users on Civitai enthusiastically shared AI-generated pornographic videos, many of which were created using these modified models.

Civitai’s policies prohibit the sharing of nonconsensual AI-generated pornography, but loopholes remain. While the site does not host nonconsensual content directly, it allows users to download models that can be used elsewhere for illicit purposes. Previous investigations have shown that once these models are accessible, there is little stopping users from misusing them in private or unregulated online spaces.

The Bigger Issue: Ethics of Open AI Models

The release of open-source AI models like Wan 2.1 is a double-edged sword. Open models promote innovation, allowing developers to refine AI technology for legitimate purposes such as filmmaking, animation, and content creation. However, as seen with Wan 2.1, early adopters often push the boundaries of ethical use, leading to misuse in inappropriate or even illegal ways.

Despite mounting concerns, Alibaba has remained silent on the issue. The company has yet to respond to inquiries regarding the misuse of its AI model. This raises questions about the responsibilities of tech giants when it comes to the unintended consequences of their AI releases. Should companies impose stricter regulations on how their AI models are used? Or is it the responsibility of platforms and communities to enforce ethical guidelines?

What Comes Next?

As AI-generated content becomes increasingly sophisticated, the challenge of regulating its use grows more complex. Open-source AI models are powerful tools, but they must be released with safeguards in place to prevent misuse. Without proper oversight, the line between innovation and exploitation will continue to blur, leaving room for ethical dilemmas and legal concerns.

For now, Wan 2.1 stands as yet another example of how quickly AI technology can be both a breakthrough and a battleground. The question remains—how will companies like Alibaba address these issues moving forward?

One line of code: The easiest way to integrate Go.cam

At Go.cam, we’ve always believed that age verification shouldn’t just be accurate, private, and compliant, it should also be effortless to integrate. Today, we’re taking a big step forward in that mission: implementing Go.cam will soon require just one single line of code.

Why This Matters
Integrating age verification often meant downloading SDKs, navigating documentation, and sometimes custom integrations. Developers told us they loved the transparency of our open-source approach, but they wanted something even faster, a solution that can be live in minutes, not hours.

Automatic Implementation
Integration is now as easy as dropping a single JavaScript snippet into your site. Go.cam takes care of the rest automatically:

· Blurs the website’s adult content
· Camera access management
· Real-time AI-powered facial age estimation
· Instant verification results

Partners will also be able to change the design so it fits their site’s colors and branding and manage the settings for each domain without editing the code again.

For those who want even more control, a “controlled implementation” option is also available. This allows you to manually adjust settings and trigger custom actions, without downloading anything or running code on your own servers everything runs securely in the browser.

Compliance Without the Complexity
By removing complexity, we’re making privacy-first and AI-powered age verification accessible to everyone — from startups to global platforms. This one-line integration isn’t just a technical update; it’s our way of keeping Go.cam as the easiest, fastest, and most reliable solution on the market.

SkyPrivate Launches Lifetime 90% Referral Payout for Models

SkyPrivate is rolling out a major update that gives models a powerful new way to
maximize their earnings: 90% lifetime payout on referred members.

With this new system, the models earn 90% on everything the new members they refer
to SkyPrivate spend with them on the platform.

This includes tips, pay-per-minute calls, prepaid shows, and store purchases. And the
models continue to earn 90% for as long as their referrals remain active on SkyPrivate.

To access the 90% referral payout rate, the models simply need to log in to their
SkyPrivate accounts, navigate to “Promote” → “Get 90% Payout”, and copy their
referral links.

They can then share their links wherever their fans follow them: socials, chat, anywhere.
SkyPrivate’s referral update doesn’t change the models’ regular payout rates. Instead, it
adds a new way for models to earn 90% on the referred members’ spending with them
and boost their income.

“This update is designed to reward our models for bringing new active members to the
platform,” said Dragos, chief commercial officer at SkyPrivate. “It’s simple, transparent,
and gives our community of models an extra way to maximize their earnings… for life.”

The 90% lifetime payout enables SkyPrivate models to take charge of their referrals and
turn their existing fan base across social media and other platforms into a steady stream
of income.

It’s a competitive advantage for those looking to grow their presence and earnings on
the platform.
