Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don’t buy it and here’s why.
Is he getting updates about his company from Yes men? Absolutely. I believe all of the executives at his companies inflate his ego because he’s the “Elon Musk”. But if you read any news and see Twitter mentioned, it’s been about this topic since they started this feature of his misinformation machine.
I don’t buy it and here’s why.
He's the biggest lier out there, he only doesn't lie when he's promoting nazi shit.
Didn't he literally laugh about it
That was the Ketamine talking not him obviously.
reminds me of the time trump acted like he didn't know what project 2025 was
I know people who fell for that hook, line and sinker and somehow have blanked that from their memory.
Ah yes, the ol' "i did not have sexual relations" excuse.
“I not [sic] aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero,”
The accusation is about scantily-clad, underclothed image generation of real minors, not full on nudity, which is still CSAM in most laws' eyes, something he conveniently skirts.
It's more than I didn't have sexual relations. It's I don't know where I don't remember. The get out of jail free card for politicians in rich people alike.
Look at how often Mike Johnson just says he doesn't know what's going on.
it's because of his definition of underage, isn't it
Bullshit
Grok was still able to produce sexually explicit images, and that restrictions, such as paywalling certain features, may not fully block access [...]
Charging money for revenge porn didn't work as a "restriction"? Demanding people paying to access CSAM didn't "fully block" it?
Whoever at Reuters allowed that sentence to form is just cooked.
Bullshit. And, everyone, literally everyone, knows it. But, nothing will happen.
The Führer is unaware of any concentration camps and associated atrocities.
So your giant expensive water poisoning machine that you own and built is generating content you’re not aware of, and this is a commercial product you’re charging for and integrating into the Pentagon?
And your point being….?
“Obviously, Grok does not spontaneously generate images, it does so only according to user requests,” Musk said.
“Guns don’t kill. People do.”
To you and most normal people, that sounds like, "GuNs DoN't KiLl. PeOplE dO 🤪," but to a lot of Grok users it sounds like an actual argument.
Sadly true
When it became news you could AI CSAM, I'm pretty sure his response was... to post an AI picture of himself in a bikini?
I would love to meet the single person who he has convinced by this
My mom's been dead now for over 10 years and she's heard of it.
hes totally aware, if he's been praticing "kung fu" lessons with miss ghislaines maxwell on Epsteins properties before.
Sure thing bud.
He jerks off to it regularly.
"I do not recall" Okay, well, you have brain chips, we can scan you with those, right?
the value proposition of grok has always been that it will do things that the other models will try to block people from doing
I wonder if we can get grok to delete itself.
When in doubt, plead ignorance.
