A ream of norms are being shattered daily, but as a tech expert this one really shocks me. For a generation CSAM has been *THE* flaming red line for a tech platform. If they spent money on ANYTHING, it was moderating it miles away. To even have the whiff of it was a Federal kiss of death. Now? 🤷‍♂️
I want to highlight this important story by my friends @nbcnews.com - www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne... "The Internet Watch Foundation said it found topless images of girls that dark web forum users attributed to xAI’s Grok Imagine." <-- the AI generated CSAM / NCII immediately escapes containment
Dark web users cite Grok as tool for making 'criminal imagery' of kids, U.K. watchdog says
The Internet Watch Foundation said it found topless images of girls that dark web forum users attributed to xAI’s Grok Imagine.

Its amazing how many times they've uploaded the officer perspective video and literally cut out the sounds, the shooting and have voice overs on youtube.

Real time media censorship and re-writing of reality.

If you're going to protests tomorrow remember to keep safe and keep OPSEC.

Bring cameras (go pros etc), not your phones.

Is the government of Greenland running a cocaine/fentanyl cartel? This forthcoming CBS News report says the evidence is strong.

Not only should we be shutting down the fed government, statehouses should be running interference and jam up the system.

Fuck everything about this.

The whole "Grok admits" "Grok apologizes" thing reminds me of the famous IBM presentation quote that evidently everyone has forgotten. And I do think representing your brand on social media counts as a "management decision".

Internet Killed the Video Star.
MTV is officially ending all of its music channels.

In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

Boy, I can't wait for the AI to tell me that the duplicates have to stay, otherwise the pipeline doesn't work.

I can't even get regular Software Engineers to fix my bugs, what in the fuck is AI going to do for me?
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.

Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

Excluding costs, the biggest impediment to AI adoption in game dev is that the output quality sucks ass and it makes games worse. AI adopters need everyone to use it so that people lower their standards and become more okay with buying garbage
I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.

Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?
My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore
