The rollout of Tony Dokoupil's rebooted "CBS Evening News" is not going over well inside the network. It's a "total disaster," as one insider put it. Or a "total shit show," as another told me.

Just how bad is Grok's nonconsensual porn problem? Musk's AI chatbot is generating another sexualized image of someone without their permission every single minute:

I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

This is really bad; Grok is now going into is third day of regularly producing nonconsensual deepfake pornography and nobody is doing anything about it. The "Mechahitler" and "white genocide" episodes were stopped much more quickly. I suppose this tells us all about relative priorities.

IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.
if you want the Senate to do something, Senate Republicans must do something.
People are dunking on this but I'm not really sure what plays Schumer has other than to try to peel off Rs.

Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."

This is so important.
I’ve taken care of children who didn’t die from their vaccine preventable illness but instead
-lost limbs
-developed kidney failure requiring dialysis
-had strokes and permanent deficits
Death isn’t the only bad outcome.
And sometimes it may not be the worst one.

The narrative over the last few years has increasingly been, “Either it kills you or you’re fine.”
That narrative is dumb. Infectious diseases can (and do!) do all sorts of horrible, non-fatal damage. Which is also very bad and worth preventing.

This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule)
Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality.
Those who survive often lose limbs.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI is used to digitally undress images of women and children
The degrading pictures are being posted to X despite the platform pledging to suspend people who generate them
Degrading images of children and women with their clothes digitally removed by Grok AI continue to be shared on Elon Musk’s X, despite the platform’s commitment to suspend users who generate them.
After days of concern over use of the chatbot to alter photographs to create sexualised pictures of real women and children stripped to their underwear without their consent, the UK’s communication’s watchdog, Ofcom, said on Monday that it had made “urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK”. Ofcom added that it would assess whether an investigation is necessary based on the company’s response. Continue reading...
