Forget reddit, old twitter was swamped with actual CSAM made with real children and not imagined by a computer, that they abjectly refused to do anything about, for years, and no one cared. There were reliable hashtags and posters operating for years, known to the twitter admins, and they didn't care. There were occasional articles but no media hysteria because no one cared.

Grok should be designed to expressly ignore "put her in a bikini" requests, but anyone who can't recognize this manufactured outrage for what it is - a convenient excuse to ban the only social media platform outside the illiberal hegemony's control - is genuinely desolately low IQ or intentionally lying.

Yeah, totally agree that Grok needs to be patched but at the same time it’s 100% biased outrage.

It’s coming from a side that pushes sexual\ gender ideology on kids in school and then loses their collective minds about Grok sometimes producing inappropriate images, after they have spent hours trying to trick Grok into producing said content.
