Remembering how the Homeland Security secretary wrote about how she got mad and killed a puppy for misbehaving and presented her choice to shoot the puppy like it was a proportionate and relatable decision

They also just reported, without further comment, the phrase ‘X say they take a zero tolerance policy on the posting of child sexual abusive material on the site’ and it makes me feel insane - IT’S THEM POSTING IT, AND THEY HAVEN’T STOPPED!

But yeah, there is still every chance that exactly the same crimes can be committed against British women and children, they’ll just now have no direct evidence that it’s happened.

These are people who, when they’re reporting on Westminster politics can remember hundreds of names, relationships, voting histories and any amount of gossip, but with large, important global stories, can’t be bothered to get the absolute basics right.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

I’ll be honest: of all the many potential AI-related disasters I would have predicted, this wouldn’t have been on my list
Multiple monkeys are on the loose in St. Louis. And AI generated images are complicating the effort to find them.

Genuinely not in the least bit surprising.
Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

Catching up on Uncanny. I love it tremendously and one of my favourite things about it is Ciaran O’Keefe, when asked to explain the impossible, very kindly suppressing the urge to say “I mean, the most likely explanation is that they’re literally just making this shit up” #TeamSceptic
