Grok has not "turned off" its CSAM generator for anyone - it has simply put it behind a paywall.

it’s incredibly important to note that on the new footage that came out from the ICE agent himself, halfway through the video he switches his phone between his hands, opening up to grab his gun way before renee good even starts driving

Unlike most men I’m already doing my bi-annual bathroom cleaning and I still have a whole month before the deadline. I’m gonna make a girl really happy someday.

I like how almost everyone in the comments calmly and directly explained the thing he requested that they explain while at most lightly making fun of him for pretending not to grasp something obvious and he somehow still turns himself into a victim here.
No danger of much civility on here, so that's progress I suppose

It means that people wield their power in incredibly evil ways while both masked and enabled by the institutional demand for politeness and nicety that works to mitigate any real challenge, criticism, or consequence towards them.
But can anyone tell me what this bit means? “For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.”

NYT covered Biden’s age with 315 landing page articles in 2024, every one of them about immediate gratification of attacking Democrats with vibes with no meaning, but had less than 25 articles about Project 2025. They care more about collaborating with Trump more than rigorous fact-gathering.
There is a culture of immediate gratification that isn't satisfied by rigorous fact-gathering and editing. The internet runs fast and shallow.

Maybe the whole “next generation of doctors using chat gpt” thing will be okay because it means your doctor will actually look something up instead of just going with some bullshit he half remembers from the seventies.

As much as I hate AI search shit, it probably is leading your average dumbass to more accurate information based on grok constantly owning conservatives.

honestly I went and watched a James Baxter animation reel after this and I ugly cried. It is so beautiful that one can achieve this level of mastery, have this much impact, and bring this much joy to the world. The care that this man puts into every single frame reflects nothing but love for life.

Okay people really need to prioritize what they are mad about with AI. You should not be attacking working artists for lightly using AI tools.
You should be attacking the companies that make it and anyone genuinely using it to plagiarize.
Witch hunts will only legitimize actual AI sloppers.

Honestly this is so fucking silly and AI witch hunt shit is just going to legitimize it’s worst and most destructive uses.
I fucking hate AI. Using it to experiment with some textures is nothing.
People are attacking talented artists for no good reason while the slop factory runs nonstop.

Okay I fucking hate AI, but attacking SKILLED, TALENTED, WORKING artists for using it at all is just asinine.
This isn’t a megacorp laying off their workers for automation, it’s artists lightly interacting with some tools during their creative process.
Focus on the actual problem.

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.
