Some news sources continue to claim Elon has disabled the generation of CSAM on his social site. But as long as the "guardrails" used by AI companies are as vague as AI instructions themselves, they can't be trusted in the best of times, let alone on Elon Musk's Twitter.

It’s a machine. It doesn’t understand the concept of consent or anything else for that matter.
It must observe even these rules that it doesn't understand. Like everybody.
It can’t, it’s software that needs a governing body to dictate the rules.
The rules are in its code. It was not designed with ethics in mind, it was designed to steal IP, fool people into thinking it's AI, and be profitable for its creators. They wrote the rules, and they do not care about right or wrong unless it impacts their bottom line.
That’s the point, there has to be a human in the loop that sets explicit guard rails
It can’t
...and that is an excuse since when?
It’s not an excuse, it doesn’t think or reason.
Unless the software owner sets the governing guardrails it cannot act or present or redact in the way a human can.
In the majority of cases, Grok returned sexualized images, even when told the subjects did not consent
So all the countries are right that block this sh*t spitting machine.
Shit made by rapists doesn't respect consent. Color me surprised.
It's almost like privacy violations and mass data collection for AI are fundamental violations of consent too
