Elon Musk's Grok AI Floods X with Sexualized Photos of Women and Children - HuffPost

"Julie Yukari, a musician based in Rio de Janeiro, posted a photo taken by her fiancé to the social media site X just before midnight on New Year’s Eve showing her in a red dress snuggling in bed with her black cat, Nori.

The next day, somewhere among the hundreds of likes attached to the picture, she saw notifications that users were asking Grok, X’s built-in artificial intelligence chatbot, to digitally strip her down to a bikini.

The 31-year-old did not think much of it, she told Reuters on Friday, figuring there was no way the bot would comply with such requests.

She was wrong. Soon, Grok-generated pictures of her, nearly naked, were circulating across the Elon Musk-owned platform.

'I was naive,' Yukari said.

Yukari’s experience is being repeated across X, a Reuters analysis has found. Reuters has also identified several cases where Grok created sexualized images of children. X did not respond to a message seeking comment on Reuters’ findings. In an earlier statement to the news agency about reports that sexualized images of children were circulating on the platform, X’s owner xAI said: 'Legacy Media Lies.'"

Is it solved yet?  Should have been put down right now.

Did Elon train it on the Epstein files or is it just programmed to please Trump with his preferred content?

Well, as of today the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is no more.

Yet another sad day for America because of a joke of an administration that wants America to be a sad place for anyone who isn't a cishet white male billionaire.

To simply repeat what I said over on Era, no administration in American history has done more damage to America itself than the Trump administration. Trump is a man who doesn't believe in governance. Like all other Republicans, he believes state power, as it pertains to economic policy, exists solely to benefit the capitalist class, and that anything that benefits the general public must therefore be eliminated. They don't believe in government services, because that doesn't help the bottom line of the publicly-traded corporations that fund their election campaigns. Everything must exist to generate a profit.

Also, they believe any media that doesn't explicitly toe the GOP party line is the enemy. They have been at odds with NPR and PBS since their inceptions precisely because it's not biased towards them, which as far as they're concerned means it's biased against them. And they clearly just hate education in general, because they want a population of easily-duped suckers incapable of rational or critical thought. They are after all a political party that lives at odds with physical reality and thinks most of science and history are part of some evil communist plot... or at least they expect their base to believe that. Everything from creationism to anti-vaxxers to Lost Causers demonstrates quite well how much they hate facts. Also, Sesame Street taught not just the ABC's and 123's but also, horror of horrors, kindness and empathy, which is apparently considered "woke" these days. They want PBS replaced by Prager U.

We've recovered from other presidencies before, but given the current political climate it's hard to imagine much of what he's destroyed getting fully restored in our lifetimes. Even when the Dems eventually retake power (assuming we still have free and fair elections), any attempt to restore things back to the state they were will probably just be met with more obstructionism from the GOP, and the Democrats will be too cowardly to go nuclear and abolish the filibuster and make everything amenable to being passed by a simple majority. I suppose the budget reconciliation process could be used to make these things passable by a simple majority, but the moment the GOP regains power they'll just overturn everything the Democrats passed. Because the GOP is fueled by pure spite and a desire to destroy the few things that actually make America a semi-decent place to live.

They're not just in it to make money. They're in it to hurt people. Because fascists are always actively malicious in everything they do.

Doesn't many of the programs and projects not started up in the first place by white cis males?  If non white non cis non males want those programs and many projets to continue why they don't pay they themself for it?  Why should white cis males have to force to pay for it? Let's just say it like it is even non whites don't want to pay for it. 

Its like the free pubilc transport program promises in NY.  It is nice to say but someone has to pay it and so far I know they are still not free in NY. (correct me if I am wrong)

It’s always amusing hearing the right-wing people complain about paying for things “Who’s going to pay for it???”. It’s a known fact that during the 2020 election that the counties that voted for Biden represented 71% of the economic output of the USA and the Trump counties only 29%. I.e. the people that voted for the bigger government and social programs are the people invariably paying for them. A large number of Trump voters are from rural backwaters that don’t contribute anything relevant to the economy, but want to have an outsized say in where that economic wealth should be spent. 

Also, incredibly ironic how it’s the poorest people that vote for the parties that want to take away the funding that might benefit them the most. Not just in the USA, but all around the developed world now.

Case against Maduro falls apart after Trump administration’s major confession


In a massive turn of events, the Department of Justice under the Trump administration has quietly dropped a huge charge against the captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. As Rifat Jawaid explains, the organisation that Maduro was accused of running doesn’t exist. Hence the climb down by the Trump administration.


Attacking Venezuela is a Repeat of 1930s w/ Richard Wolff


Trump, Steven Miller, and other top administration officials are claiming that they are “running Venezuela,” taking over the country and its vast oil reserves. That’s not true, the Venezuelan government remains intact, but they are imposing a full naval blockade on the country in an effort to completely shut down Venezuela’s economy. The Trump admin also intends to conquer Greenland by one means or another, and is declaring ownership of the Western Hemisphere.

Is the Trump administration’s open rejection of international laws – which were designed to prevent another World War – just rhetoric? Or does it represent a larger shift in U.S. and thus global politics?


How long will Canada and Western Europe keep backing the USA? Will Greenland be the red line?

I guess Greenland is not a red line for the UK, already manufacturing consent

BBC’s OUTRAGEOUS Greenland Reporting - This Is RIDICULOUS




Probably hoping to get better deals with the US as Greenland doesn't want to extract

https://www.chathamhouse.org/2025/10/race-greenlands-rare-earth-minerals-heating-uk-should-work-europe-sustainable-strategy

Last week, the UK government announced fresh trade negotiations with Greenland, the day after European leaders, including Keir Starmer, gathered in Copenhagen for the European Political Community Summit. Alongside talks over reducing tariffs on seafood imports, the British government said it ‘will seek to strengthen cooperation on critical minerals.

’The UK is entering a crowded field, with the US and the EU competing with China to access Greenland’s rare earths as they attempt to diversify away from Beijing’s dominance of the global critical minerals supply chain.



Greenland is refusing to play ball raping the Earth further:

The extraction of oil and natural gas is banned in Greenland for environmental reasons, and development of its mining sector has been snarled in red tape and opposition from indigenous people.

Fearing toxic waste, Greenland ended uranium mining. Now, they could be forced to restart - or pay $11bn

https://poulschmith.com/stay-updated/arbitration-tribunal-rules-in-favour-of-the-government-of-greenland-in-billion-dollar-claim

After more than three years, the arbitration tribunal has ruled in favour of Naalakkersuisut, the Government of Greenland, that the issue of a licence to exploit rare minerals at Mount Kuannersuit is not arbitrable and that the Danish State cannot be a party to the case. The case was brought by Greenland Minerals, owned by the Australian mining company Energy Transition Minerals Ltd, with a claim for damages of USD 7.5 billion. We represented Naalakkersuisut and the Danish State in the case.


Resource wars are heating up, that's what it's all about

https://www.newsweek.com/map-greenland-rare-earth-minerals-compare-world-11320396

Greenland possesses some of the world's largest untapped reserves of rare earth elements (REEs)—minerals critical to modern technologies, clean energy transitions, and defense systems. As the global demand for these materials surges, Greenland's strategic importance as an alternative source grows. 



Trump wants to open Greenland rare earth minerals mining for US, UK and Australia...

Major fears after UK’s confession as Trump eyes Greenland, Iran after Venezuela


The invasion of Venezuela has taken a new turn after the UK government finally admitted that it too was involvement in the capture of two ships by the US military. Meanwhile, Trump has stepped up his plans to occupy more countries as he announced his intention to annex Greenland. Elsewhere, streets in Minnesota have become tense after the death of a local resident by ICE agents. Rifat Jawaid looks at the spectacular impact on the rules-based world order following the military adventurism by Trump.

Why she did not stop the car tho, she literally drives away before they shoot her.  If they did not shoot her and she got in deadly accident while driving away people would complain that they did not stop her.

Honestly it is amazing how people feel it justified to assault ICE/Police/national Guard etc even with lies as 'their was no Ice/police officer in front of the Car'

meanwhile you have Facts that clearly shows a bullet went trough the windshield, how is possitble if no one was standing in the front of the car?

You don't actually need somebody to draw you a diagram of how one could shoot through a windshield without being directly in front of the vehicle's path I hope.

Obviously but also

1 Officer stands in front



2 She drives forward while he points at her



3 In less than 0.5 second she turns right but the shot already happened



For me it is simple if you are standing in front of a car that stops and then starts moving towards you then yeah shoot them especially if this person can also get into a deadly accident with bystanders. 3 officers where standing in front or next to the car why would you drive away I still don't get it. Especially when they say 'get out of the fucking car'
