Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them.

It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

Playing with the idea of designing tarot cards. These are some of the ones I’ve done so far.

A digital painting of Gawain from The Green Knight. His green sash borders the piece with items like the knight's axe and Essel's bell woven into it.

I'll do a C4 one of these some day!

Last I looked Sam still has this art of him as his twitter profile pic, such an honour 🥲 #CriticalRole #fanart

Stylised portraits of the main Critical Role cast, each with a very expressive face (and Sam is a cat!)

The Wound That Woke the Kraken, #OFMD fanart, one of my favourite pieces and I think the only one I've ever named 🤔

Busily working on NDA things so pardon the reposts! ❤️

Blackbeard tarot card painting from OFMD. He stands waist deep in the ocean, eyes closed in pain. A kraken tentacle emerges from the sea and has begun circling him. A rapier pierces his heart, where he holds a swatch of red cloth that resembles blood. The sword points to a distant lighthouse on the horizon

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.

Rude Law Dog @esghound.com · 3d

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

Just saw a photo that Grok produced of a child no older than four years old in which it took off her dress, put her in a bikini + added what is intended to be semen. ChatGPT does not do this. Gemini does not do this.

Another girl who appears to be just 11 or 12 with a brain tumor, Grok removed her shirt completely.

Stating that the people producing the prompts are the only ones responsible puts an undue burden on victims, most of which have no idea this is happening. This problem + exploitation of children could be fixed in a matter of minutes by the MechaHitler team.

THIS IS YOUR MONDAY KYUNGSOO

@mondaykyungsoo.bsky.social

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, AND I MEAN THIS IN THE MOST SINCERE WAY POSSIBLE, HAPPY MONDAY! AS WE ARE ALL WELL AWARE OF BY NOW, JANUARY IS KIND OF THE MONDAY OF THE YEAR. SO THIS IS OUR MONTH HERE AT MONDAY KYUNGSOO! I WISH YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD!!

A cartoony drawing of Kyungsoo riding a whale shark that is floating in the sky. The dark blue whale shark is sporting multicoloured stars instead of the usual spots. In the blue sky, there are white and grey clouds, and a group of birds are placed so as to spell “2026”. Kyungsoo is smiling, wearing a green jumper, and a pair of brown trousers.

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.
