Do you realize that you are fighting against an open Internet?

I agree with you in instances where it's not generating a real person. But there are cases where people use tools like this to generate realistic-looking but fake images of actual, specific real-life children. This is of course abusive to that child. And it's still bad when it's done to adults too, it's sort of a form of defamation.
I really do hope legislation around this issue is narrowly tailored to actual abuse similar to what I described above, but given the "protect the children" nonsense they constantly moan about just about every technology including end to end encryption I'm not very optimistic.
Another thing I wonder about, is if AI could get so realistic that it becomes impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that anyone with actual CSAM (where the image/victim isn't known so they can't prove it that way) is guilty, since any image could plausibly be fake. This of course is an issue far beyond just child abuse. It would probably discredit video footage for robberies and that sort of thing too. We really are venturing into the unknown and government isn't exactly know for adapting to technology...
But I think you're mostly correct, because the moral outrage on social media seems to be about the entire concept of fake sexual depictions of minors existing at all, rather than only about abusive ones
The code probably used an if statement somewhere to throw an exception if some condition is incorrect, then called strerror(), which gets the status of the last syscall. But the error was probably a logical one in the application and had nothing to do with the last syscall. Or perhaps success of a syscall is itself an error condition. For example if a file already existing should be detected and cause a failure, calling stat() successfully would be an error
How is this relevant to the technology community?
It bothers me that a circlejerky and oversimplified answer like this one is more highly upvoted than the numerous high effort, highly detailed, and technical explanations for why it happens.
This is starting to sound a bit too Epstein-like...
Oh okay, my mistake. Thanks for pointing that out

But I'm definitely excited to see Tor and Fight for the Future on the list!
Given that Facebook and meta's other platforms are one of the largest distributors of that, if they scrape Facebook for data this is not exactly a surprise unfortunately...
The goal is ultimately to find out who the best chess player is, and bathtub shitting has no relevance to that.
