Everyone who works on Grok should probably be arrested. The only reason that isn't straightforward in people's minds is because they're used to nothing bad ever happening to its owner no matter what he does, and the fact that they keep anthropomorphizing Grok for some reason

Grok says safeguard lapses led to images of 'minors in minimal clothing' on X

we really can't do Rebuttals for every single bad thing said about Mamdani in the newspaper. my whole feed right now is "actually his wife's boots cost a normal amount" and "actually it's normal to hold your coffee like that." you're gonna burn out, guys

I'm so tired of cowards & stupid pigs like this now, scraping before the liddle poor forgotten man who hates smart people, then, the moment the camera's off, associating only with other rich soulless assholes in a job they don't deserve. Truly one of the areas in which we're most like Nazi Germany.

it is unpatriotic to consider grocery shopping a hassle. americans were told to bounce back from 9/11 by going out and buying stuff and by golly we did it. buying crap we don't need is our highest national calling

the two big things happening over there are this and people showing up at daycares across the country to demand to see the kids because the algorithm served them some guy’s video over and over and over
For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok.
Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.

as a spiritual person I believe that every generation God creates a Designated Oaf to torment as his plaything, in exchange for not killing off the rest of us in infinite hellfire. In this way Ryan Day is actually really important to me, theologically

my daycare periodically updates me on how "crisis drills" for the toddler room are going, which involve practicing "hiding and being quiet." and it's directly because of people like this
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.
