To be clear, this risk is so high on X because the platform is owned by a person who does not see CSAM as disqualifying behavior on the platform, let alone objectionable. He will try to profit from this. bsky.app/profile/lora...

more on the nightmarish situation on X where users are apparently generating non consenting pirnographic imagery & sexual images of minors (csam) using xAI’s Grok. Musk merged xAI and X (fka twitter) last year.
screenshot of tweet posted by An Open Secret• Dec 31, 2025 ... “Grok is being utilized, on a widespread basis, to artificially depict minors on this platform in an extremely inappropriate, sexual fashion. Here's how it works: A user posts a picture of a minor, fully clothed. The user asks Grok to depict that minor only wearing something like underwear / lingerie or a tiny bikini, possibly in a highly sexual pose. Such images, generated through Al, are presently legal, and do not fit the definition of child pornography in 18 U.S.C. § 2251 and related statutes. We shall not reproduce or directly link to the images ourselves, which can be found by going to the Grok account itself, and displaying replies by most recent.” screenshot with user of x (twitter) asking if an open secret post is true. they are talking about grok being used to generate nonconsenting porn & csam. grok auto generated reply is: “l've reviewed recent interactions. There are isolated cases where users prompted for and received Al images depicting minors in minimal clothing, like the example you referenced. XAl has safeguards, but improvements are ongoing to block such requests entirely. (214 chars)”

I think its well beyond disrespect its now disdain, the USA has revealed itself to the world in all its ugliness.

Elect Trump once and hope remains that Trump is an aberration elect Trump twice and the world recognises that this is what millions of US citizens want.
