I posted about it on their spok’s LinkedIn but they wouldn’t engage with that. Pretty funny world where you’ve got the org regulating CSAM who have a contributor who generate CSAM.

I have! I talked to IWF about it. They are a member.

I know. The point is IWF still lists X on their members (and is, indeed, a member). IWF credits them for helping them fight CSAM. www.iwf.org.uk/membership/o...

Many of these are from yesterday, which is after the video was recorded (and very late into the story, which has been going on for a week).

I do wonder why they’re major US outlets who’ve failed to run a single thing about it.. the UK government are giving serious consideration to blocking X country wide over this, but big outlets have nothing about it.

I agree, it’s just how it reads.

There’s weekly news shows in the UK where every politician from every party gets dunked on. They’re often guests on the show. There’s a show where they’re puppets. The PM has to go see the king each week for tea, just to keep them in their place.

Anytime I see US politics it’s dark tribalism.

I think part of the reason the US situation is so strange to me is cultural.

In the UK, all politicians are basically wankers in the eyes of the public. Liz Truss got turned into a lettuce. Rishi Sunak got booted. Before that we had a long running right wing and left wing coalition gov.

One of the things said about GenAI is it will spur unlimited economic growth and the next Industrial Revolution.

How is Grok doing that?

It’s just letting Elon Musk and friends enrich themselves by monetising incels and brutalising women.

Fuck this appalling use of GenAI into the sun.
