second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

the very first question every journalist should be asking after grok generates CSAM is "how did it know how to do that?"
and the nature of the tech is such that there can only be one answer: it was trained on CSAM.
why is that not a COLOSSAL story in the age of broad daylight Epstein coverups?

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

I know everyone is pointing it out but I do think it is absolutely reckless editorial practice to cite what an AI says, especially in a headline.
Grok has no authority, nor does it have a meaningful explanation for what happened, and citing it obscures those actually responsible for literal crimes.

Grok says safeguard lapses led to images of 'minors in minimal clothing' on X
Elon Musk's xAI artificial intelligence chatbot Grok said on Friday lapses in safeguards had resulted in "images depicting minors in minimal clothing" on social media platform X and that improvements were being made to prevent this.

Having trouble articulating this, but I find something off even in articles critical of LLMs' role in suicides, like that NYT one. It's in the way they speciously ascribe agency to them ("ChatGPT recommended," "ChatGPT confirmed," etc.) in ways that ultimately legitimize the industry's own fictions.

Rhett has the eyes of a murderer, but he is cold, measured, malicious; he is possessed of one goal and the infinite patience to carry it out. Link simply kills indiscriminately—in this way, he is less man and more animal

Assuming there isn’t more to this than we know, it is indeed very embarrassing to see an industry obsessed with being taken seriously as an art form self censor in this way.

Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g...
Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.

Thinking about adding a 30% surcharge that is for "human-only creative actively avoiding and combatting AI"
All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".
