Your government is enabling him. Fraternity of male billionaires.

Musk, and his company are doing it. Grok is a machine.

Machines can't be held responsible, Musk can (If anybody had some balls)

You want the women and children abusers to take action against one of their own to regulate a tool used for abusing women and children?

Late on Saturday night, Solomon had an addendum to his condemnation of the sexual violence of the app: "Contrary to media reports, Canada is not considering a ban of X."

This government is so useless 🤦‍♂️

I may have to create a Xitter account just to post porn of Solomon, sounds like they'd approve.

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I support this initiative. It might even motivate him to do something besides sitting on his hands.

We should have put a ban on X the minute that moron bought it.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 2 points 20 hours ago

What qualifications does Solomon have? Is he not Carney’s secret arts dealer?

Banning CHILD PORN CREATION TOOLS will be seen as an Act Of WAR against the United States (HOME of Pizzagate!)!

"Grok" isn't doing shit, it's a computer program.

People are using Grok for fucked up shit.

But yes, it needs to be reeled in or banned.

This has gun control issues vibes.

[–] PhoenixDog@piefed.ca 5 points 21 hours ago

And we have regulations on guns.

We have zero regulations on AI. We need some.

[–] SaucySnake@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

There are plenty of other models out there that prevent you from creating sexually explicit content, idk of any guns that are made not to shoot people. To be clear I also think grok should be regulated.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 2 points 22 hours ago

Hot glue guns.

I have a question... does grok not do deelfakes of men as well? Or is that not an issue for some reason. Haven't been paying attention, just seen headlines.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

No, this whole story is a mix of hyperbole and not understanding AI.

Imagine there was a shitty clothing company that produced a lightweight fabric. Due to piss-poor testing and not actually giving a shit about their customers, it turns out that after a few times in the wash, the clothing essentially disintegrates as you wear it.

The story breaks, but for some reason, all the headlines all say "Company sells clothing which falls off when little kids wear them, leaving them naked!" While technically true, anyone who spends more than 5 seconds looking into it will recognize how much that headline twists the actual situation. But they print it anyways because people already hate the company and are eager to accept anything negative at face value. Plus, accusing a person or group of child exploitation is a time-honored strategy of criticism because not many people will push back against it as they don't want to be seen as defending child exploitation, even though they're really just pointing out the truth.

Well, grok is capable of producing csam with a straightforward text prompt right? This would seem to me to be illegal on x's part but I could be mistaken.

Canada? Your government can't do much but block Twitter and its related apps, and maybe that's what Carney should do. I've never heard of him being associated with any of the bad stuff your neighbours down south are in their government.

I love what I've seen from Canada in response to the madness in the US, so keep being awesome in that way. Encourage your neighbours to use Bluesky or Mastodon in place of Twitter, and if they have to use an AI chatbot, the one on DuckDuckGo (duck.ai) is supposed to be private, as is the one on Proton (Luna or Luma or something like that). I personally don't use them, but they are useful in search results with finding stuff from time to time.

Why is it not abusing men?
