BREAKING: X’s chatbot Grok isn’t just making AI porn deepfakes, it’s now making Nazi AI porn deepfakes, undressing women and showing them wearing “swastika bikinis”. Many of these women are Jewish, including a recently deceased Holocaust survivor.

some behind-the-scenes here: until we get daytime or otherwise very good quality nighttime media, it's very hard to verify anything visually. i'm personally waiting on photojournalists to start filing their pictures to do any verification + identification
No one who's not on the ground has any idea what the fuck is going on other than there's explosions don't trust any of the helicopter stuff yet be careful about what footage you're spreading I've already seen some stuff on X that looks like Syria
