If you're still on X are you ok with what Grok's been doing?

Young girls, un-consenting women and now this

Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

"Any excuse to get Musk"
😂
You're not in the school playground lol

It’s a BlueSky v X thing isn’t it. Those on BS want to get rid of the other one.

Exactly. So very obvious. I mean how weird to post on BS unpleasant stuff from X. Be like me saying look at this I saw on pornhub it's disgusting!

No I'm not but so many seem to think they are.

It’s a lot more than ’adding bikinis to celebs’ - the estimate from a few days ago was 6000 images generated every hour. Anyone can be targeted, but particularly women who speak out, with image prompts including ‘add bruises’ ‘ball gag’ ‘semen’ etc. And did you miss the part where sexually images of children are being generated?
Musk deliberately removed restrictions, do you think he’ll put them back just because governments ask nicely?

You're the one who said it though. Any excuse to get Musk was you.

Yes I said it based on the behaviour and comments from people who seem to have no problem with the plethora of offensive shit online, both ai and other but find grok unacceptable seemingly only becauese it's on Musk's platform!

And actually no I don’t like Elon Musk but we can debate internet regulation and how he has facilitated illegal CSAM without bringing in his other activities (such as gleefully leading the dismantling of USAID which has killed over 500,000 so far by withdrawing food and medical treatment and will inevitably kill millions)

It’s because they don’t want a non left platform to exist. Utter nonsense though to go for banning X.

from people who seem to have no problem with the plethora of offensive shit online

Nowhere has anyone said they're ok with other offensive shit online at all.
It's not just a "let's get Musk" pile on and that we're all bullying him for goodness sake.

I didn't, initially, know Grok was a Musk thing, any platform enabling this should be shut down - right or left leaning, immaterial, Child protection shouldn't be a political issue.
If Musk blocks this feature, all good, carry one as before.

I suppose the counter allegation would be that those on the 'right want X, regardless, because it supports the far right.

But back to theme, Musk wont modify, so then what? just let the abuse of children and women carry on?

Just because there is a lot of other shite on-line, should it mean we just ignore stuff we can stop? strange POV...

Yet they are ONLY talking of banning X.

Grok is doing nothing that any other AI software isn't capable of. They hate X because its one of the only platform where politicians and other elites can be held to account. Just look at how often the Starmerbot is community noted for lies.

Across the EU and UK they've been desperate to find an excuse to remove free access to information from their citizens.(MSM never touched the Starmer/Ukrainian rent boy saga for example)

The idea that Ursula von der Leyen, or Keir Starmer should be the sole arbiters of what people can and cannot view online is frankly disgusting.

Once the government have complete control of the media and Internet, those powers are likely to fall right in to the hands of someone you really hate, and then everyone in this thread would begging for the right to be able to post AI pictures of Farage in a bikini.

Thats not true, you need to check your facts before posting rubbish...

OpenAI's policies strictly prohibit the generation of non-consensual sexual images (deepfakes) and content sexualizing minors, and its systems are designed with safeguards to prevent this. It is a serious violation of their usage policies.

Grok is just a piece of computer software that reacts to prompts given to it by people.

Musk is a deeply unpleasant man.

XTwitter is currently the absolutely best venue for following breaking stories
particularly ones that the BBC and the Guardian and CNN and Sky staffers do not feel like covering

It is possible for contradictory things to be true.

Bluesky was set up to grab lots of users off XTwitter
it has not happened.
That is not a reason to ban XTwitter

The UK Government COULD clamp down on all forms of revenge porn.

Yeah, because openAI is the only other AI out there....

There are entire Reddit subs filled with information about work arounds to make AI's produce NSFW content, and how to run the different models locally on your own PC, where you can do a lot more than this whole Grok controversy.

At least have the decency to admit you just want X banned.

So presumably you can build legal restrictions of that sort into the algorithm. No need to ban anything. But it would have to be solely what is illegal, as there is a danger any restrictions result in political tampering.

I think the implications of banning X are far graver. I’m sure it can be tweaked slightly to prevent it creating pornography.

I'll happily admit that I want X banned.

Its a foreign owned propaganda machine that actively promotes extremist far-right disinformation, causing radicalization that undermines our democracies.

Social media is problematic enough even when it strives for neutrality. X is even worse, because it actively promotes one extremist worldview.

Picking up on the coverage from Iran a lot of it is from X. Do you prefer we don’t see it?

Yes, I can kind of agree with this.
Although I don't usually want things banned, I do think there's a real problem when it comes to online radicalisation and not enough being done about it.

I don't see any issue with banning X.

Even the US, which barely places any restrictions on free speech at all, banned TikTok.

The Supreme Court (rightly) finding the ban lawful because it wasn't about censoring speech but about restricting a foreign-owned means of cognitive warfare. E.g. a national security issue.

Twitter/X is similar, in that it aims to alter the behaviors and perceptions of Western democracies, for political purposes, by degrading rationality through algorithmic manipulation.

I’m not on x

Lots of sites are forrin owned, so what?

It does not promote far right anything it has a wide range of views.

I often see rubbish that I snigger at or ignore, I certainly don't think it should be banned. We aren't in North Korea.

There are some other questions on the legality of modifying adult women’s images which are also problematic. It is not as simple as CSAM alone.

Musk could simply amend Grok to remove those functions and then the legal basis to act would be far less clear.

Not at all.

But by your logic:

Do you still use Google?

Gemini has been made to do the same thing.

Now you know that, if you use Google again we will know there’s at least one person on this board who is OK with AI nudification and it’s you.

(Well, we won’t know it. But you will know it).
