Greenland is happening. Not a joke, not trolling, not a distraction. He has already made up his mind and nobody who matters in the inner circle will try to talk him out of it. Some of them want it precisely because it will destroy NATO. There are no adults in the room. They really mean to do it.

In my opinion - this should be a much bigger story and regulators and AI firms worldwide should be much more engaged.
If there’s no lines *at all* with GenAI, there will be harm.
Orgs and regulators can’t talk big about AI safety in public and then say nothing when this unfolds.

A lot of attention rightfully being focused on sexually charged images of children and women, but Grok is also being used to bloody up images of women, for example by adding bruises, cuts, or burns. Like non-consensual sexual imagery, these violent "morphs" can be threatening.

I've had a few "friends" doing pretty stupid stuff with 2 of those on an empty stomach 😅
It's tasty.
Found it a while back around here. Packed a punch, compared to a Duvel.
Or maybe it was because I had two or more that evening.

Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.
