AI tool faces growing global scrutiny over the spread of nonconsensual sexual images of women and minors on X

Elon Musk said on Wednesday he was not aware of any “naked underage images” generated by xAI’s Grok, as scrutiny of the AI tool intensifies worldwide.

“I not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero,” Musk said in an X post. Musk’s comment comes as xAI and X face growing global scrutiny, including calls by lawmakers and advocacy groups for Apple and Google to drop Grok from app stores, an investigation by UK regulators, and bans or legal action in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.

Last week, X curtailed Grok’s ability to generate or edit images publicly for many users, however industry experts and watchdogs have said that Grok was still able to produce sexually explicit images, and that restrictions, such as paywalling certain features, may not fully block access to deeper AI image tools.

Idk why everyone hates elon. Running successful company isn't easy. All people hating him are 9-5s who can't create shit but on social media talk like they are billionaires.

    He bought successful companies and fucked them over.

    Every company that has remained successful after he got involved did so by keeping him the fuck away.

    So no. He’s not a successful businessman, he’s not an engineer either.

    He’s a venture capitalist, and not even a very good one.

    He is SO amazing. The average CEO spends 60 hours a week on their business. He is CEO of Telsa, SpaceX, and X Corp. That is only 180 hours a week. But don't forget he is on the board or holds some high positions in at least 4 other business. Let's say he spends 20 hours a week on each of those. We are up to 260 hours a week now.

    Elon also has 14 children who he loves and cares about. He spends a minimum of ten hours a week with each of his kids so that is only 140 more hours a week. We are up to 500 hours per week, but wait there is more.

    Elon is constantly making the sickest memes and posts on X. He spends a lot of his free time doing this for fun, but it is also about upholding his amazing image. He spends forty hours a week making memes and posting/responding on Zombie Twitter.

    Elon is also an avid computer gamer and spends at least 20 hours a week kicking back smoking weed and just playing computer games for the fun of it. Don't forget he also loves his Ketamine. He also spends at least another 20 in a khole every week. We are at 580 hours a week.

    We haven't even gotten into the amazing marketing, engineering, and programming whiz he is. He spends countless hours on these activities, troubleshooting code, doing advanced calculations, and coming up with the best marketing plans for his companies. He spends another 80 hours per week on these.

    We are up to 660 hours per week but we haven't even talked about his romantic side. He spends another 40 hours a week pursuing/trying to fuck his female employees. He is a lover and not a fighter so we are up to 700 hours per week now.

    He accomplishes almost half a years work every week. Compare that to yourself. How much do YOU get done in a week!? Do you waste a half of it sleeping, eating, and going to the restroom. If only we all were so productive.

    Doesn't matter. He needs to ensure plebs get the work done. He doesn't have to "work"  per se

    That is where you are wrong, he is the hardest working man in history. I suppose you are just overwhelmed by his magnitude and your lack of equivalent achievements.

    He may have accomplished more in a year than your entire lifetime. It is humbling really. A true testament to the meritocracy of capitalism.

    Got a good family but we are struggling like everyone. What we get paid is nowhere enough to keep up with things like deferred maintenance and retirement. This is a problem with most people who chose to have families unless they have a very lucrative career/business.

    I went to college in my twenties to get a job so that I could afford to insure my family. I worked for twenty-two years before I finally got one that I could. I just bought my first house but I am pushing fifty now. Things aren't not bad, but we have struggled for decades to get here.

    So it is a mixed bag for sure. I am grateful I have my family and we can live together and have at least the basics to survive. Joking aside, our future being determined by wealthy people like Musk is a dreadful prospect.

    I think Elon is kind of the exception he posts on twitter way too much to be doing any real work lmao. He's essentially a brand guy and all his companies try to keep him away from the real work (I think he wanted the spaceX rocket to use Windows?????)

    I think you don't understand how capitalism works. The hierarchy created at your work doesn't really mean the director or CEO are doing real hard work. They ensure that plebs provide them good ideas and they say approve and then plebs gets to work.

    Their whole job is to ensure that the company operates smoothy. No director / CEO /Board members do any "real" work whatever 9-5 think is real work.

    To give you an example , I worked with an accountant and he was on redbull and coffee all day long but have you ever seen a CEO, Director , Founder sipping redbull like water to get the "work" done.

    Maybe this is true at smaller companies or old ones but the wlb as you go up in tech usually just gets worse, Finance it like starts really bad in IB but gets passable as you go up (like 60 hours a week). Alot of this is inflated by time people just doing nothing but saying these directors are not stressed seems laughable. My mom was one and as a kid it was noticeable how much she was constantly stressed about work when she was at home or on the weekend (On the weeks she did not work over the weekends lmao). When she retired it was like night and day. Upper management is like Game of Thrones without all the death

    You can argue that this is just a byproduct of Capitalism and top down hierarchies and alot of the work was not really work and we should tear it all down (I agree mostly). But your other solution is bottom up hierarchy (basically using representatives, I wouldn't say running government is exactly chill???) or just no hierarchy (Only viable if we all live in self sufficient communes which is pretty based),

    Also mentioning caffeine is kind of funny, thats like the tip of the iceberg, these execs and finance bros are all doing coke and meth or some other type of stimulant. All I do is design computer systems and yell at claude to code them faster. Obviously theirs alot worse jobs than being a exec its def on the upper end of the distribution, wouldn't call it easy imo
