The issue is use of Grok to create non-consensual, sexualized images of women and girls, as well as CSAM.  The lukewarm response by X turns the blame and responsibility toward users.

Elon Musk, address CSAM, dehumanization and degradation instead of facilitating it.  Grok’s automated apologies are pathetic.

Last time I checked, pedophiles and creators and users of CSAM are not dissuaded by AI generated warnings not to commit their crimes.

Elon Musk’s pornography machine is the tip of the iceberg.

Will he get a free pass in the U.S.?

 

If you’ve never watched the 1997 movie Wag the Dog, or it’s been a long time, today would be a good day to stream it.  You’ll have to shell out just under $4.00 to watch or rewatch it, but it’s worth it.

A reader sent me this April 30, 1977 letter written by Mark Stebbin’s mom, Ruth, and published in the Royal Oak Tribune:

The reader also included this YouTube video, which presumably contains footage of the PBS (Channel 56) show Ruth Stebbins referenced.

The YouTube channel has not posted Part 2 of this 1977 broadcast.   Part 2 is said to address police response and community safety measures.

Ruth didn’t live long enough to learn the sick truth that it was law enforcement doing all of the forgetting, not the public.
