Elon Musk’s Grok is a case study in reckless AI deployment.
It’s flooded X with “undressed” images of women and sexualised images that appear to involve minors.
Now WIRED suggests Grok’s separate website/app enables even more extreme and violent sexual content.

These are also critical questions for the royal commission.
The IHRA antisemitism definition is highly contested - including by its principal author, Kenneth Stern.
If the commission is going to deliver anything useful, it must address how the definition has and is being weaponized. #auspol

"Mr Albanese, as you're adopting a new definition of anti-Semitism, please clarify does it include
- criticism of Israel?
- protests against genocide in Gaza?
- condemnation of the IDF killing children?
- criticism of the apartheid system in Israel?"
Pretty important questions to ask, you'd think.
