Note that the sudden rise in "nudification" is not an advance in the tech itself, it's a design choice by Musk / xAI.
LMMs trained with nude images have been able to do this for years; Grok is the first time a major company has chosen to enhance this functionality for users rather than restrict it.

The “put her in a bikini” trend began quietly at the end of last year before exploding at the start of 2026. Within days, hundreds of thousands of requests were being made to the Grok chatbot, asking it to strip the clothes from photographs of women.

A Republican elected official proudly declaring he has no problem with agents of the state shooting unarmed citizens in the face if they annoy the regime.
It is impossible to make democracy work with a party that not only tolerates people like this, but elevates them to positions of influence.

Yeah, it has long been the case that adult-oriented businesses have to be careful or risk the wrath of everyone from prosecutors to payment-processing companies, but "prominent social media company owned by world's richest person swiftly became world's largest CSAM producer" produces no reaction.
Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

'Listen to me as I come to your neighbourhood and tell your trans siblings they are subhuman or I will use the wealth of billionaires to sue you into oblivion,' is a very late-capitalism form of free speech right.
Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I mean the thing about trying to govern with no political ambitions is that your opponents can just project whatever they want onto it and there's nothing you can really do to stop them
The predictable crushing uniformity of the coverage of this Budget tells you an awful lot about the priorities of those papers, and also why there's actually quite a lot to praise in it bylinetimes.com/2025/11/26/t...

Because, again, they *want* to do crackdowns, flag-fucking, migration terror, ugly culture war squealing, belligerent war speeches and scything cuts to benefits, and these are the voters you have to impress and win over to do that in perpetuity. Also, they think libs and progressives are arseholes.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Using AI to keep watching videos of a dead person is frankly sinister. Just reveals a culture obsessed iwth never moving forward or looking ahead, just wallowing in increasingly degraded and unnatural rehashes of its own memories
Zelda Williams urges fans to stop sending AI videos of her father, Robin Williams:
“Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on.”

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

‘She is ignorant of how ignorant she is’: JK Rowling responds to Emma Watson rift
The author has rebuffed conciliatory remarks made by the Harry Potter actor, saying Watson has ‘enthusiastically participated’ in the ‘trashing of women’s rights’
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has responded to Emma Watson’s recent remarks about their rift over transgender rights, saying the actor is “ignorant of how ignorant she is”.
Rowling’s post comes after a podcast interview with Watson, in which the latter said: “I really don’t believe that … holding the love and support and views that I have, mean[s] that I can’t and don’t treasure Jo and the person that I had personal experiences with.” Continue reading...
