Itās laughable it took this long.
The FBI and and anyone who has had their image created or depicted in an explicit manner should be going after Elon Musk, X, and use everything within their legal power to identify the people prompting Grok for these images and go after them using revenge porn and deepfake porn laws.
Only California, New York, and Virginia currently have deepfake porn laws on the books, but Iād still go hard after X as co-conspirators on disseminating revenge porn.
Users voted to restrict Anthropicās Claude to its own channel, but Jason Clinton, Anthropicās Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and a moderator in the Discord, overrode them.
The word of the year might be Slop, but the theme of the year is companies forcing things on their users that they didnāt ask for and do not want.
Over the next six months, Van der Velden toiled with her 15-person team to nail down the look of her leading lady, creating 2,000 iterations of an actress unbound by the limits of physical ability, age or talent.
In recent weeks, she has signed about 60 nondisclosure agreements for hybrid movies (with real actors), full AI films and Tilly-specific projects, most of them in the $10 million to $50 million range.

When that happens, companies (especially the VC-backed kind) now need to contrive new and increasingly stick-like reasons for customers to pay again. From made-for-marketing āfeaturesā that suck to use IRL, to breaking compatibility with older versions, to spamming you with marketing notifications and embedded ads. Their relationship with customers goes from symbiotic to parasitic.
Pirijan, the creator of Kinopio, is always incredibly thoughtful with his approach to building and his writingāthis is no exception. Longtime readers will know my distaste for where the economy is going with āventure predation,ā and the growth-at-all-costs approach in the tech and financial
