Quote with red❤️

illustration commissioned by client. A scene for a TTRPG called Kingdom of Monsters. The scene appears dark and gloomy, and the predominant colour is red, recalling an hellish environment. It's a ballroom in which a set of three couples are dancing, flying over the room with their wings, some of them have devil wings and some have angel wings. The focus is on the interaction between a character on the background and a woman on the centre of the room. The woman has a purple dress on and she's holding a glass of wine that is using to point at the other focal character, as if she's inviting him to join the dance. The other character is dressed in an elegant suit and he's standing on the stairs, looking at the scene with a confused look. Behind him there's a mirror, a door, in which there's his reflection modified, transforming into a bat monster.

They are treating Grok like a human, without giving it the accountability of a human.

If a human apologised when asked by Person 1, then retracted the apology when asked by Person 2, then photoshopped Person 1 naked when asked by Person 3. I don't think the take away would be the apology.

Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz.bsky.social · 1d

This anthropomorphized framing of Grok in the media (claiming that Grok has "apologized") only serves the interests of these tech companies. It gives the appearance that some entity has taken responsibility for what is happening, when in reality no one has.

Is anyone going to take accountability for this?
