      Guardian going all out for misleading headline here. 

      Anyway, the question now for the government is ‚why are you still using the service that has a paid for ‚generate CSAM‘ function integrated into it?

      Sadly, with the American government being nakedly corrupt and acting as the defacto enforcer for their paid donors, this is going to end up being a diplomatic incident rather than a simple case of holding a publisher to account for hosting nonce grot.

      Time to remove yourself from X and begin blocking it until it complies. It’s time the internet was treated like it is part of the real world.

      Can’t win either way. Atleast if it’s behind a paywall, it’s easier to identify users who are misusing it for illegal activities

      „UK government upset that American company actually creates a method that would allow them to regulate it“ would be a more accurate headline.

      Keyword *allow* because they *won’t* do so, but it’s actually more regulatable now with people having to put in their details to use it than it was before as there was no real way to enforce rules with the way it was previously set up. People seem to forget that the content *was* actually against X’s rules. It’s just that a rule is worthless if it’s unenforceable. It’s now enforceable even if I have doubts they’d put in the effort and the UK Gov is upset because of that.

      If the UK gov wants to leave X then it should do so, there’s no need to manufacture more outrage when X regularly provides a sufficient amount on any day ending in Y.

      Grok allegedly created and distributed CSAM. National Crime Agency needs to investigate the company and the users involved.

      It surely can’t be that hard to limit AI generated images, having it restricted to subscribers is just dumb and doesnt fix anything. The whole AI image side of things needs to be taken down, it’s far too powerful of a tool to be trusted in the hands of people with twisted minds.

      But it’s owned by Elon musk so we can’t say anything too bad, or take any action as we are total sycophants to anyone wealthy.

      X needs to be banned from the UK. That’s it. Nothing easier to do. Many many alternatives. Now has UK gov got the balls to do this or are they gonna kiss the ring again ?

    10. doctorgibson on

      So instead of preventing the problem in the first place, Musk prefers to have the content generated first before lifting a finger

    11. Prawns on

      Arguably worse because now X is profiting over the ability to make unlawful images

      If I had child porn on my computer I would be in jail. He has child porn on his platform (or can be generated by it) he should be in jail

      American child porn generator defended by child porn hosting site and government embroiled in child rape allegations.

      Only a matter of time until people will be able to nudify people in real life (including children) via electronic glasses.

      We are living in a nightmare hellscape

      As much as I despise what modern technology is doing, this all seems a bit shouting at clouds – or like the red flag man walking in front of the car to warn pedestrians.

      Give it five or ten years and people will be running these models on their phones or laptops locally, it’ll be a matter of downloading LocalGrok from the app store.

      I don’t think you can put the genie back in the bottle.

      Musk only has interests in destabilizing the UK.

      His business interests need to be removed from the country.

      >Downing Street has condemned the move by X to restrict its AI image creation tool to paying subscribers as insulting, saying it simply made the ability to generate explicit and unlawful images a premium service.

      America 2026. Is anyone even surprised?

    19. ArchdukeToes on

      Choosing to make the ability to produce AI-driven child pornography a premium feature is definitely _a_ route that they could’ve taken, I suppose.
