I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...
Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

The European Commission is set to select experts for the AI Scientific Panel, which will advise on implementing the AI Act. Europe’s new panel must prioritize world-class AI expertise, and younger voices shaping frontier AI over quotas, writes Kai Zenner.

Any excuse to hang out with @katie-drummond.bsky.social I'll take. This was so much fun!
I loved talking to Signal's @meredithmeredith.bsky.social, who is such a consistent, clear voice of sanity (and always a great interview).
We talked about (of course) SignalGate, what AI means for Signal, why tech bros continue to be such a disappointment, and much more. Read, listen, etc!
