i REALLY like the idea of approaching this from the vector of industry standards. there's a lot of points of attack a lawsuit like this could've used that would've caught things like parody or any sort of NSFW art in its net. it's heartening to see this done with genuine understanding
Centered on the experience of a South Carolina woman whose image was ‘undressed,’ xAI faces a new class action lawsuit over Grok generating non-consensual sexual images and publishing them to X. Among its claims, the suit alleges the company abandoned industry safety standards.

i can think of a phonebook of reasons to not use bing but this ranks pretty high up there
Bing has blocked neocities and all user subdomains from its search index.
We’ve spent months trying to resolve this through official channels and gotten nowhere.
Until this gets resolved, we are recommending that people do not use Bing.

surprised at the amount of scalebound in the replies. If you thought scalebound was ever more than a trailer I've got a bridge to sell you

I hope the lessons that media companies take from the success of HEATED RIVALRY is they should be making more queer stories & more sweet stories & more romantic stories.
But I fear it will just lead to more sports stories. And sex scenes made by people who don't get why the sex in this show works.
