This is an onslaught against women, misogyny weaponized to traumatize women and drive them from public spaces. Grok is particularly egregious given its scale and public profile, but any AI image and video generator can do the same thing. Ban them all. Now.
One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

Look, you've gotta admit, Trump and his cabal sitting in front of a literal CSAM generator as they assault, kidnap, and traffic is nothing if not on brand. After all, Maduro's presidency was thirteen years old.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Trump’s assault on Venezuela is horrifying. Each person killed or injured, or whose livelihood or home is destroyed, is a whole human being, who loves and is loved, and whose life is as precious as yours or mine.

You cannot have “AI” without having “machine that almost solely exists to create nonconsensual sexually explicit images of mainly women and children.” The former exists in tandem with the latter. That’s how this industry has worked so far, and it has only gotten worse with zero accountability

Sure, I'll give my mental health data to a hallucination engine owned by Nazi eugenicists. What's the worst that could happen?

To start the new year off with good cheer, let me articulate a few thoughts on your favorite topic: why cheap and abundant energy would be Bad Actually.
We’re heading into the solar age of energy abundance. This will change everything, and, it is usually assumed, for the better. Not so fast!

I wish people would listen to the doctors. We’re in a lot of trouble. I’ve been talking about Trump’s sickness a lot and his sadistic behavior getting worse with his dementia too. He’s an evil monster.

Psychosis is an extreme reaction affecting a small percentage of people. It’s therefore easy to detect. How many thousands of cases of AI delusionality fly beneath the radar?

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

If there is a lesson in these times of madness and horror, it is this. Joy is found in a simple life, in love, in wonder and in curiosity. The man who would be king spent Xmas firing off tweets & missiles because, for all the chasm of need in his black heart, no-one loves him and no-one ever will.

It's a week since the Hanukkah massacre at Bondi, a slaughter of innocent victims not seen on this scale in Australia. As the Jewish community of Sydney mourns, I've seen Sydney's religious and political leaders step forward to offer their love and support. Meetings have been charged with emotion.
