I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom.
This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

There is a better way to look at Maduro
It’s a palace coup
Someone inside did a deal with Trump to get rid of Maduro
That’s not the interesting thing:
It’s the contrast between Trump and Putin - Venezuela & Ukraine
Putin is in a quagmire whereas Trump never left the golf course

What the Trump administration just did to the Venezuelan opposition — using them for information and access to internal networks but culminating in smuggling Machado out of the country to get her out of the way — is one of the most cynical things I can think of in a long, long time
So there was a deal: “Rodríguez, a canny political operator, was envisaged as head of a transitional government in secret talks that her politician brother, Jorge, led with Washington last year about a post-Maduro future.”
The woman with Donald Trump’s nod to lead Venezuela
Washington has built its transition plans around vice-president Delcy Rodríguez, a canny operator close to the oil industry

The undressing is obviously the main story here, but when I had a look at replies from the Grok account, people were also asking for bondage and signs of violence. Musk is knowingly encouraging some very dark stuff.
Just saw this in LinkedIn for anyone interested in looking into Grok's production of CSAM and non-consensual sexualised imagery.

Books about “Asian wife sharing” that included detailed descriptions of orgies and scenes involving “ladyboys.”
That’s what our reporter discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official. What came next was even wilder.

I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
