Liz Kendall calls on X to ‘deal with this urgently’ while expert criticises ‘worrying slow’ government response
The UK technology secretary has called a wave of images of women and children with their clothes digitally removed generated by Elon Musk’s Grok AI “appalling and unacceptable in decent society”.
After thousands of intimate deepfakes circulated online, Liz Kendall said X, Musk’s social media platform, needed to “deal with this urgently” and she backed the UK regulator Ofcom to “take any enforcement action it deems necessary”. Continue reading...

I can't say i am surprised this is really happening. But until all government and commercial organisations leave X, Elon will feel the risks don't outweigh the clicks.

Nigel Farage says allegations he said "Hitler was right" while a pupil at Dulwich College and "gas 'em all" to Jewish schoolmates are "maybe solidifying our core support".

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

I can predict every argument against this. And they are all covers for one statement 'We don't want to rock the boat in case we fall behind'
Yet if every country did this, no one would fall behind.

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.
