I don't think I can remember a technology in my lifetime that's prompted governments to basically suspend existing law -- copyright, obscenity, incitement -- like genAI/LLMs. they seem prepared to gamble everything on it. feels quite final.

a quick refresher in US geopolitics-speak since some of you appear to be fucking stupid:
"Democratically Elected" means "Does What US Corporations Want"
"Brutal Dictator" means "Doesn't"

this is so very obviously untrue it's outrageous that it's believed by the government to justify their continued usage of the white supremacist, child rape loving, nazi platform.
if it was true it's an argument in favour of banning x in the uk.

If there is an argument then this is the argument. But lol I can’t find where this obviously false stat is coming from. And if the government does believe more than half the families in the UK are using it as their primary news source then woah maybe time to up the scrutiny of it!

If you ever get pulled over by a cop with this haircut, you might as well resist because he’s definitely gonna say you resisted.

That is your nation, and it always has been, and no amount of diminishing will change that. I get you want to feel excused for once "loving" your nation by being all "this isn't like us", but it is. Always has been. You need to accept that.

Again I really think this a police matter not regulatory. If you are creating and publishing CSAM you need to be in jail. Stopping after a few weeks when enough people shout at you is not a defence. Losing my mind.
Ofcom, which enforces the UK's Online Safety Act, says it is aware of "serious concerns" about Grok undressing people including children on X
“We have made urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK," it says

I've never been prime minster, so what do I know, but I would think that "the most appropriate way possible" "to reach the public", would not be on a site that has a built-in child porn generator?
Keir Starmer's spokesman asked if Government will still use X now it posts indecent images of children, replies "we always keep communication channels under review to reach public in most appropriate way possible”
"Operators are under obligation to act appropriately. We always hope they would do"

The reason to oppose illegal renditions of world leaders in the interests of US imperialism is not because it might encourage Russian or Chinese imperialism, it's because doing illegal renditions of world leaders in the interests of US imperialism is in and of itself bad you fucking idiot.
