In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them π€¦πΌ www.theverge.com/news/859309/...

New: A few weeks before Grok started 'digitally undressing' people (and some children) by user request on X, there was a meeting at xAI. Musk expressed frustration over guardrails on what ppl could create w/ Grok Imagine, source tells me. Around that same time period - 3 xAI…

I remember Apple booting games out of the App Store due to pixelated boobs. I recall it kicking off various apps due to porn. Yet GenAI CSAM and other horrors where those depicted haven’t consented? Oh, that’s just fine, apparently. FFS. It’s not just the cowardice. It’s also the hypocrisy.

Last year when I wrote about prison staff jumping ship for ICE, I reported that BOP had lost a net of at least 1400 employees by late fall. I just got new data showing they lost a net of ~1700 by mid-December -- though w/EOY retirements the final 2025 figures will likely be higher.

The U.S. in is in the process of seizing OLINA in the Caribbean near Trinidad, per @Reuters. It's flying a false flag of Timor Leste. It's loaded with oil cargo from Venezuela, per @Kpler and @TankerTrackers. And last known location is 12.16769, -62.6113, per @oballinger. https://t.co/UPcRRMtCom pic.twitter.com/hxIFrkukVk

It should be noted that as a 2024-25 All-Star, Trae Young is subject to the NBA's Player Participation Policy. If the Wizards do intend to hold him out to keep their draft pick, they are going to need to have a legitimate injury reason to avoid league scrutiny.

The Iggy Pop episode is one of my favorite of the series. (And my favorite moment, if my memory holds, is when Nog tells Quark, "Stall him uncle"--such a casual statement of leadership and trust)I've said this before but the modern tv viewing public would crumble if faced with the concept of 'Ferengi episodes'
