Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

Following the proliferation of the nonconsensual sexual deepfakes on X, the platform has detailed changes to the Grok account’s ability to edit images of real people. They match the changes reported on Tuesday by The Telegraph, as Grok’s responses to prompts like “put her in a bikini” became censored.

But in tests of the feature on Wednesday, we found that it was still relatively easy to get Grok to generate revealing deepfakes, while X and xAI owner Elon Musk blamed the problems on “user requests” and “times when adversarial hacking of Grok prompts does something unexpected.” As of Wednesday evening, despite the policy’s claims, our reporters were still able to use the Grok app to generate revealing images of a person in a bikini using a free account.

Hey guys! It's not our fault our AI is making deep fake nudes of real people, it's our registered paying users asking our AI to make deep fake nudes who are at fault!

Pornography doesn't pervert perverts, perverts pervert pornography.

How are these people not being prosecuted? Or am I missing something here?

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 3 points 12 hours ago

Somehow I think they don't actually want to solve this problem, so are doing the bare minimum to make it look like they're trying.

Meanwhile ChatGPT won’t even say Trump is bad.

The question is, who is asking it to do this shit? It’s not like it has free will.

Where did you think the people from 4chan went after it folded?

They were always around and still are.

Terrible people, which is why it should not have the ability to do this no matter what prompts they use.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And Telegraph reporters, apparently.

[–] zwerg@feddit.org 3 points 4 hours ago

The Telegraph is extremely right wing, so that would reduce to just terrible people.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Just the types of people who are still on Twitter. You know, absolute degenerates.
