Trump administration says it's vital for US security to take Greenland. And yet
-Denmark has offered US anything it wants in boosting US military presence
-The US already has the sole military base
-US has reduced its footprint from a 10,000+ peak to fewer than 200 right now.

I don’t know if this is the normal Grok request chain or if it’s happening because the publicity means people now know it will undress people but I just looked at its replies and there were just so many non-consensually nudified photographs. A constant stream of them being generated.

One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

While the final US military operation last weekend might have been under cover of darkness, the build-up to it was out in the open for all to see.
I've constructed some timelines of the immediate build-up covering both the strikes and the supporting actions...

The Sorrow and the Pity
It is agonising to consider the future we have created for our own children. Each generation always had it better than the last. But that’s no longer true for the young today
We need to ask ourselves ’what have we done?’

Folks who still post on X, is this finally a red line for you? If not, then you seem to have no moral objections to using a CSAM site.
Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

Meanwhile back in Iraq in 2003 (in an ominous bit of foreshadowing) I told the US forces that they might want to destroy a cache of thousands of artillery shells I’d found in the desert. They stuck to their mission and stayed at the refinery.

What’s little noticed is there are 30,000 Cuban troops and personnel in Venezuela. This could get very messy indeed.

One might ask @thejamtarts.bsky.social the same question.
There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.
NEW: People are using Elon Musk's chatbot, Grok, to alter images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed.

Just helped a family member set up a complicated boiler control system to enable it to be controlled while away from home. Got it working despite it being the most un -user friendly one I’ve ever seen. Really only meant for professional installers. Chuffed. 😊

Best Guardian headline of the day.
“I met my girlfriend’s parents and realised I had once slept with her father.”
I laughed.
The only thing funnier was this quote from Nancy.
“I’m confident with where we want to go. This was a tough game. But I think that we’re going to get better.”
