Timely reminder that this is a for-profit CSAM operation

do i know anyone who needs/wants a kindle paperwhite

The closest comparison for the Grok thing we can imagine right now is if cereal made a bunch of people ill and the news put a microphone in front of some cereal boxes at the grocery store and was like “well they didn’t admit guilt, not sure who else we can ask”

someday i hope to fully exist

This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc) #1: Reuters

grok didn't say shit. Grok is not sentient. This is you helping musk escape accountability for this shit. Journalism fail.

This just in: calculator has apologized for saying BOOBS

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

Yes, Twitter and Musk themselves aren’t even attempting to apologize for “Grok creating CSAM” - but this too is an example of allowing a machine to take blame! Who CREATED the machine that’s apologizing for its actions in a fashion that shifts blame to itself and not to its actual human creators?

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.

You can make LLMs say almost anything. A news organization reporting "what grok said" is engaging in journalistic malpractice. It doesn't know. It just creates plausible sounding words in response to a prompt.

Ooh look, we’re seeing the “let’s attempt to deflect blame to the artificial construct that is The Demon Machine instead of the actual, breathing, fallible humans who made the Demon Machine” maneuver play out in real time!

We are just $25 away from hitting $8,000, which puts us in striking distance of our final goal. We don't run ads or have corporate backers. Support from our readers powers our independent journalism.

WH statement on the emancipation proclamation includes a paragraph break in mid sentence & I'd bet anything they went on google, typed "emancipation proclamation" into the search bar, & then copy-pasted parts of the AI summary, because they do not give a shit about this country

concepts like humble bragging seem totally foreign to me, I genuinely cannot imagine being someone who does that intentionally i cant even say out loud that I am "kind of a decent person" without expecting a meteor to hit me

Sorry I was being unfair and rude. What I meant was that they were building a bot that echoed the politics of its owner and by side effect that meant a bot that could create non consensual explicit imagery

God I love this labeler, about 2/3s of the time it shows up and doesn’t matter at all but every once in awhile it shows up and it’s in a moment like this

“Your gutter ignorance is better than their hard-earned knowledge”

the song that was at number one in the charts on your birthday will set the stage for your 2026 they said and no, no one will be killing me softly or otherwise with their song this year but damn its a good song

interesting that lack of regulation and anti-woke ideology keeps resulting in pedophiles

*werner herzog voice* hamburger will never help you

My Speak & Spell said they were sorry

This is the thing. At any point when writing about Grok or any other LLM, you can replace the name of the LLM with "the computer" without any loss in meaning. If you would not write "the computer apologized", then you should not write "Grok apologized".

Please. Understand. This.

No it is not. Human beings are modifying it. Fuck sake.

"The world's richest man, a well-documented drug addict who is a Nazi and a major support and adviser of the President of the United States of America, has created a website that produces CSAM on demand at scale while he demands ethnic cleansing worldwide"

this post is even funnier with the fancy uk schools labeler on

STOP. PUBLISHING. STORIES. LIKE. THIS.

One of the ways I have tried to make my Bluesky experience better than my twitter experience was is by not reading people's posts/comments in the worst possible light. If someone says "CSAM is bad" and your retort is "but revenge porn is ok?!"—that's twitter behavior and you should stop it.

This brainrot is more responsible for the rise of authoritarianism in the US than any of the wokeness it will not shut up about

Hey I don't think you should use a website that generates CSAM on demand

huge if true

Bold Prediction: in 2026, dogs will still be overwhelmingly fantastic

thanks to my husband we managed, through teamwork, to grind down Finn's back nails. letting him relax for a while before we tackle the front paws when you are a 14lb dog your paws feel REALLY big and important i guess, and he was mistreated as a pup so he has old triggers like me

good news after two years of being irritable and finding workarounds to my mac fucking up colors in screenshots i fixed the color profile

This is me being interviewed in detailed on the nuts and bolts of writing technique.

every year we hope to find new years and fourth of july locations where the chance of fireworks is slim every year we fail Milo does not like them, he pants and trembles and tries to run away so we have to watch the door extra carefully

I know we are still plunging into darkness but god damn if words and hope like this inauguration aren't giving me life right now, needed so much to start the year with that

What a weird name for a dog. But sorry for their loss.

well, 2016 was a hard year, but we made it through. hopefully 2016 will be better.

just saw a billionaire pack all his things in a bindle and start leaving new york city on foot. he turned and looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “maybe one day when this city is safe we’ll return” before walking away
