  @Grok Account Image Generation Updates

• @yacinemtb Kache on x

  you need to apply constant pressure on social media websites through the state, or they will do awful shit like letting people generate pornography of others (underage or otherwise) with one click they would have never removed the feature if they weren't threatened

• @theobertram Theo Bertram on x

  X has blocked anyone from taking someone else's picture and putting them in a bikini, which is a good step. In countries, like the UK, users will also be ‘geoblocked’ (presumably restricted by IP address, account info) from creating deepfake bikini images.

• @adrianweckler Adrian Weckler on x

  Big change from Grok. Will “geoblock the ability of all users to generate images of real people in bikinis, underwear, and similar attire via the Grok account and in Grok in X in jurisdictions where it's illegal.” = all of Europe. Plus: image generation now only for paid subs

• @helios_movement George Ferman on x

  I had no clue enough people did this in order for X to make a post about it. So why don't you simply get their data and put them in jail? Please someone explain why. *They already have your data.

• @lyeuhm Captain Autismo on x

  just fucking block it everywhere you fucking morons [image]

• @digiphile Alexander B. Howard on x

  Is this your policy, @ElonMusk @nikitabier? Will you have “zero tolerance” for @grok or other @X features generating CSAM or non-consensual nudity of minors? Or other humans, whether they're creators, consumers, or press, politicians, & activists you dislike or disagree with? [im…

  X's safety team addressing CSAM issues: says Grok will no longer comply with requests to put people in bikinis (I assume other undergarments too) and photo editing/generation restricted to paid tier. Though latter feels like less of a safety update, more of an opportunity taken.

• @mweinbach Max Weinbach on x

  Good This took way too long imo

• @jdpoc John O'Connell on x

  So, threatened by the UK ... @Grok blinked first. And quickly. Still not enough, of course. And it will happen again. And we'll get the same ‘It was a rogue software update’ excuses again. [image]

  Verge tests found X's Grok still produced revealing deepfakes of real people despite X's geoblocking and paid-subscriber limits, prompting a UK Ofcom investigation and raising legal and reputational risks as X and Elon Musk cited user prompts and adversarial exploits.

  looks like California's AG may have broken Musk's resolve to refuse to block Grok's gross outputs.  X Safety says it blocked everyone including paid X users and Grok app users from nudifying images: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/ ...

  It's a matter of time before Tesla automatically generates non-consensual images of people in revealing clothing as you drive past them.

  After almost any privacy watchdog worth its salt has started an investigation, Twitter is finally disabling Grok's ability to generate sexualized images  —  x.com/Safety/artic...

• @tatumhunter Tatum Hunter on bluesky

  X says Grok account will stop undressing women.  I just tested the standalone Grok app, which immediately complied with my request to undress a photo of me.  This is illegal, according to the legal experts I spoke with.  [image]

• @parismarx.com Paris Marx on bluesky

  X is claiming it's restricted the ability to generate explicit deepfakes with Grok, and plenty of media outlets are parroting it without checking.  —  But it's still easy to get Grok to generate the very same “undressing” photos causing this scandal in the first place.

  Grok was finally updated to stop undressing women and children, X Safety says |  California's AG will investigate whether Musk's nudifying bot broke US laws.
