Grok is not a source! Grok is not sentient! Grok is a machine woven into the fabric of a social network that made CSAM on-demand!

Earlier this week, a large number of X/Twitter users started using Grok to create nonconsensual nude and sexualized images of real women and alleged girls.
While digging through this content, we noticed a subcurrent of users asking Grok to depict women in degrading and/or violent scenarios.

The U.S. government bans 5 people from the country, alleging “Murthy-style speech suppression.” Masnick: “So the State Department is citing a case that disproved government censorship as evidence of government censorship. That’s not even creative lying — it’s just citing your own loss as precedent.”

Has this resulted in the names of victims being exposed?
This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

And she assumed it would be easy because it was a topic she had an opinion on and so did not need to do any research. This is the epistemic world view of the ignorant, and, apparently OU leadership.
