The ongoing X and Elon Musk Transgressions Thread

[puffnstuff]

Malaysia and Indonesia have become the first countries to block Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Elon Musk's xAI, after authorities said it was being misused to generate sexually explicit and non-consensual images.

"The government sees non-consensual sexual deepfakes as a serious violation of human rights, dignity and the safety of citizens in the digital space," Indonesia's Communication and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid said in a statement Saturday.

This is how Skynet happens...

Great. Just fantastic.

Now not only is SkyNet murderous and seeking the annihilation of humanity but now its also racist and incompetent.

This is why we cant have nice things.

Is it too much to ask to have competent AI overlords?

Mechahitler is gonna do some great things when it gets its Optimus robots' hands on some biological weapons.


This might not be all bad. You know how some really cynical dark sci-fi has a super intelligent AI realize their controllers are the ones causing evil, and turns on them and wipes them out? Watching an Optimus squeeze Kash Patel's throat until his eyes start popping out...ok, wait, bad example. Watching several Optimus(Optomai?) bots sit on Stephen Miller until he starves to death would be an OK outcome. Need to hold out hope for something.
