To a lot of people the statemrnt "Grok creates CSAM" will read as a "tech headline" they bypass.
"Grok creates child porn" is a much more visceral statement that will grab someone's attention and THEN you can explain why we don't use that term anymore.

If Mangione somehow beats the charges (given the police fuckups it's possible if extremely unlikely) everything suggests he'll be some libertarian techbro in terms of personality.

Your solution to being informed you were trying to rehash the same discussion that's been had multiple times in the thread is to just...
"Re-rehash" the same discussion again? That's pretty pathetic.

But I don't think we actually have that initial statement (probably the audio from her call to the police). So I'm relying on what the attorney doing the breakdown says on that.

Sure. It also sounds like she initially reported he WAS asleep and then after her arrest that became he "might have been asleep." At least from the breakdown video

According to the USA Today article they determined he was passed out.
Exactly how that was done isn't said since it's a general press statement.
A lawyer did go and grab the statements from both her and the guy and has several videos breaking things down. (Links to a couple in next two posts)

No one but the police and defendant/defense counsel would have been able to see it yet.

The police say they have it, but if its Ring footage it would have been subpoenaed from Amazon.
It wouldn't be public at this point in the case.
