I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks!

If Grok can recognize that this is adult content, then it can recognize it should not be posting it
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.

Oh yeah, I forgot about this. The "We know Twitter has CSAM, we just don't care" setting. bsky.app/profile/numb...
Remember when Twitter introduced "sensitivity settings" to let brands decide how close to hate speech tweets they want to show their ads?

If you are still on X you're supporting a website that creates CSAM. No, you can't convince me staying on X is still justified.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

This is an AI-manipulated version of a real video of the US military operation in Venezuela.

While the real clip does appear to be genuine, this specific version has been manipulated using Grok to add dramatic explosions and strikes.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks”

whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to”

don’t give them cover on it

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Today is a big day for our little planet: it makes its closest approach to the sun of the entire year! This point in the orbit is called #perihelion. Then, on July 6, it will be at its most distant point in its orbit, which is called aphelion.

Even Rs who’ve gone after Meta for allowing crime and abuse on the platform (like Hawley) haven’t wagged a finger at Elon.

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.
