And apart from anything, is there not a huge duty of care issue here for the govt re Grok. If you’re telling the public they can get their comms on X, you’re essentially sending them there? And that puts them at risk of unwillingly viewing SAM and, for female users, being the subject of it?
I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom.
This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

The USA is running out of oil it has less than 10 years left
Very soon it will have to import oil, and then gasoline prices which Americans are so obsessed with will be decided by another country
Venezuela has the most oil in the world $14tn worth
That's what this is all about

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.

Corporate welfare is out of control.
One example - Drax produces electricity by burning trees, most expensive electricity, UK's biggest single polluter.
In 2024, Drax had £1.06bn operating profit, paid £100m dividend, £300m in share buyback.
Received billions in subsidies for decades. Why?
