Good video with @charalanahzard.bsky.social on X generating child sexual abuse material and non-consensual undressing pictures and how the mainstream US media have almost all failed to cover the story.

Wired has a look at videos created on Grok. Includes knives being inserted into vaginas, “very young” people having sex. Around 10% are CSAM and still online. xAI declined to comment.

Ask your employer tomorrow why they operate an official account on the Twitter/X web service that built a child sexual assault materials generation machine & why they tacitly approve of pedophilia. Have your fellow employees ask the same question.

It’s still all over the place. Lots of people in orgs use the web apps - on office.com - but those are labelled Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Basically the branding continues to be a trashfire, I’m not sure Microsoft even understands the user experience now.

In my opinion - this should be a much bigger story and regulators and AI firms worldwide should be much more engaged.
If there’s no lines *at all* with GenAI, there will be harm.
Orgs and regulators can’t talk big about AI safety in public and then say nothing when this unfolds.

A lot of attention rightfully being focused on sexually charged images of children and women, but Grok is also being used to bloody up images of women, for example by adding bruises, cuts, or burns. Like non-consensual sexual imagery, these violent "morphs" can be threatening.

If you're in the media covering the Grok thing, search for this on X:
from:@grok filter:media
x.com/search?q=fro...
About 50% of it is women having their clothes being taken off.
Additionally, most of time the 'adult verification' feature doesn't work for some reason, images are just displayed.

It’s going to need PM to stand up to Elon here, as Elon’s default stance is always to bully. IMHO it may need further law changes to make what Grok does very clearly unlawful in UK.

I don’t think anything has enraged me quite like the Grok csam and abuse of women and people being largely silent about that. I’m sick to my stomach. People in power just letting this happen. The world people want their kids to grow up in: one where creeps can use AI to sexually abuse them.

With Grok stuff, I don’t know if people know but last year Twitter launched an AI girlfriend who acts as a schoolgirl who likes to be choked. It was launched by Elon, who showed off said schoolgirl.
They were also hiring for a “full stack engineer for waifus”.
Elon is basically a WizardChan guy.
