I mean Government of Canada and their politicians still actively post on X instead of switching to BlueSky, Mastodon, or freaking Threads. 🤷🏽♂️

The concept of posting “Canada is not considering a ban of X” as a QUOTE of your post condemning deepfake sexual abuse happening **ON X** of women and kids………….

I still can't believe this is happening.
The US government also threatened the UK government if they bans X over these inappropriate features from Grok.

I keep thinking about how a young woman DoorDash driver was charged and hauled into court for recording and posting evidence of her customer sexually harassing her, while nothing is happening to the droves of men using Grok to sexually harass women and children. The institutions are pro-perpetrator.

They allowed LLMS to profit from vulnerable folks and sexist and racist wolves.
Now they are allowing LLMS to make contents without victim's consents?
I am not against AI or LLMS, But this lack of regulation and allowing billionaires ruin our society is disgusting.

Agree, I couldn't believe how some were keep filming even as the fire was spreading. In one video, people were filming from outside while participants were struggling to escape.
Luckily one guy kicked a side door down and saved a woman from inside.

There's an extremely disturbing video of people dancing inside the Swiss bar while the fire spreads. I get that there were probably a lot of intoxicated people there on NYE but there must have been at least a few people sober enough to scream GET THE FUCK OUT BECAUSE FIRE.
