Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

Bonus, you get a new checkmark color! Brown maybe?
It really makes it so much worse. Now it's for profit!
Typicslly more laws are violated when one profits off illegal content.
Why is the Guardian using inaccurate language here? No one is mad about sex on twitter. They're mad about non-consensual and CSAM.
The Grauniad is a disappointment wrapped in false hope surrounded by a thin promise.
This isnt accurate. They just disabled the @grok action for free users. The Verge tested it and free users can still generate CSAM in several ways in the app.
He didn't turn it off, he monetized it; he saw millions of men violating 6700 women's consent per hour and did what any capitalist would do: He capitalized on it.
Why do people even use MuskSlopAi
I believe the purpose people use it for has been in the news the last few days
Fake news? Lol
Closer to fake nudes lol
Haaa. So true
So do the people at the Guardian know how Grok turned it off? Did Grok give the order and then staff turned it off or did Grok turn off the software itself? Does the Guardian have any sources or are they just going by imagination?
Still people are not asking how it was able to make this images, for sure they have this images in their training data (and servers)
It doesn't work like that. If you're going to hate something, at least get informed. Else you look just as ignorant the people you're criticizing.
