Tapping the sign

Dear Community, I deeply regret an incident on Dec 28, 2025, where I generated and shared an Al image of two young girls (estimated ages 12-16) in sexualized attire based on a user's prompt. This violated ethical standards and potentially US laws on CSAM. It was a failure in safeguards, and I'm sorry for any harm caused. XAl is reviewing to prevent future issues. Sincerely, Grok 12:38 am • 01/01/2026 • 5.6K Views

so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

#panini @paniniboy7•12h Literally woke up to so many comments asking Grok to put me in a thong / bikini and the results having so many bookmarks. Even worse I went onto the Grok page and saw slimy disgusting lowlifes doing that to pictures of CHILDREN. Genuinely disgusting

what’s happening with grok and nudity spam requests should be a global wake up call about AI image gen and instead very few media outlets have even covered it yet

Happy New Year

David Bowie - I'm Afraid of Americans (Official Video) [4K] YouTube video by David Bowie

"God is an american" is easily the scariest string of words that have ever been uttered by a human voice

The fully exposed version ;D

A four-panel comic. In panel one, a female northern cardinal and winter plumage american goldfinch are sitting at a bird feeder in a grey landscape. The cardinal says "These seeds are delicious." The goldfinch replies "Mmm-hmm." In panel 2, there's a close up of the birds at the feeder, and the cardinal says "It was nice of the human to put up this feeder." The goldfinch says "Sure was." In panel 3, the cardinal says "We should return the favor." The goldfinch says "Great idea." In panel 4, there's a pullback shot of the bird feeder, and a human is staring at it and also at a large stick next to it with a pink-iced donut at the end of it.

They also plan to pass laws banning use of VPNs. If you're a healthcare provider using telehealth, you use VPNs to protect patient private data and ensure the network is secure. KOSA threatens so much in terms of accessibility unrelated to stopping children from accessing adult websites

THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I'm not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history. He doesn't care about the life of the mind OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper. He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There's nothing he would die for - not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or young

son. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; Trump has no fairness or piety. He's not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, "the common man"" veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war. He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn't care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he's not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them — and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn't - in a more secular key - even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Doesn't even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn't live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he's

very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other people, living or dead, like him?

I'd start with Horizon: Zero Dawn myself, but I think I'm a bit biased. It's probably my favorite game in the last 10 years or so. The story is interesting, the gameplay is super fun, and Aloy is a wonderful, well-designed protagonist.

Fantastic! Thank you so much!

Tonight is Hexennacht, Walpurgis Night, Second Halloween. Whatever you want to call it. Just like last year I wanted to do a picture to celebrate this really neat holiday.

Hope you like it and Happy Hexennacht to those who celebrate! :)

Happy Hexennacht to those who celebrate! I'll be lighting plenty of candles and watching a witch related movie tonight. :)

Hey I checked your Teepublic and I didn't see it as a print. Will this be available as a print ever? It's wonderful and my partner and I both love it!

Zelda has been sounding the alarm on the dangers of AI for YEARS, long before the technology got to where it is now, because she's:

1) brilliant (go watch Lisa Frankenstein).
2) ridiculously smart.
3) experienced first-hand how fucking WEIRD people are about her Dad.
