"Elon Musk’s X says AI chatbot Grok will no longer allow users to edit people in revealing clothing in places where it is illegal."
Notice the wording. He is still providing capability to make non consensual naked images everywhere else.
The man is vile.

You know what is weird, the UK press, even the very right leaning, used to mock Trump to a greater or lesser degree. The more fascist he has got, the more a good chunk have turned to cheerleading him.

Shit. Wish it surprised rather than just disgusted me. They aren't even hiding it anymore. Stay safe.
At a time when multiple federal departments run by Donald Trump have posted Nazi slogans or imagery or songs in the last week—with the total number of incidents being impossible to count just on one hand—Trump is now demanding lists of Jews from U.S. institutions.
Time to wake the fuck up, all.

UPenn faculty condemn Trump administration’s demand for ‘lists of Jews’

🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero
1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system
2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free
3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us"
4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous
5) That's it!

With "Die Loaded" now out I am going to pretend not to understand this is a joke and demand to known when Fix Your Heart is coming out.

What gets me about this is its still framed as "Is twitter doing enough to protect people from seeing this" not "grok was deliberately built with a lack of safeguards, specifically to allow this". This is not "Do they try not to host this" it is "They create this"
We've launched an investigation into X over Grok sexualised imagery.
We've opened a formal investigation into X under the Online Safety Act, to determine whether it has complied with its duties to protect people in the UK from content that is illegal in the UK.

We heard last week that the anti-trans lot write to Keir Starmer very regularly, some write at least once a week. And that’s all he’s hearing. He needs to hear from us. Write to him today, then put a note in your diary to write to him again next week, and the next...
