No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

We'll identify a direct correlation between rapists and their AI companion usage.
There's zero chance that "I never say no" doesn't warp the brains of men, many of whom have a poor understanding of consent in the first place.

"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Remember when ChatGPT or whichever bullshit generator said the Underground Railroad was an actual, literal railroad?
Oh yes that's useful.

Patrick O’Donovan went out on the national airwaves with a half-baked, bad set of ideas about linking access to online spaces to our PPS numbers.
If he had these ideas himself, it would be a Christmas miracle.

One of the evident failures of the FF and FG party candidates in the Presidential election was their inability to articulate what either party was for.
These are hollow vessels, whose policies are largely set by outside forces.
An organised external lobby can simply slot their preferred policy in

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

This is where validating “legitimate concerns” and “just asking questions” gets us. It’s where remarks by senior politicians gets us. It’s where unchecked fascist rhetoric gets us.
So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.
