Elon Musk's Grok 'Undressing' Problem Isn't Fixed

They integrated into twitter where it was used predictably… and then blamed the users.

"We have the problem" and "it's not a problem" aren't the same thing.

> Publicly, Musk has long advocated against “woke” AI models and against what he calls censorship. Internally at xAI, Musk has pushed back against guardrails for Grok, one source with knowledge of the situation at xAI told CNN. Meanwhile, his xAI’s safety team, already small compared to its competitors, lost several staffers in the weeks leading up to the explosion of “digital undressing.”

First, Twitter has grok integrated directly. Rather than somebody separately creating one of these abuse images and then posting it, they simply comment on somebody's tweet and Twitter does the rest.

Second, Musk himself advocated for looser restrictions on this sort of abusive image generation. Rather than starting from a position of trying to minimize this abuse Musk started from a position of opposing efforts to minimize this abuse.

Third, Musk has joked about the pain and suffering experienced by the people getting harassed on Twitter with this content. I have vastly more patience for somebody who seems to actively care about addressing the problem than somebody who seems to enjoy it when women are abused en masse on his platform.

xAI is getting picked because their company is encouraging and enabling sexual abuse and child porn generation on a massive scale. When called out on it they turned it into a commercial feature, and whined how they are being prosecuted for free speech. Now they are trying to politicize it [1]. Garbage behavior.
