Lapses in safeguards led to wave of sexualized images this week as xAI says it is working to improve systems

Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok posted on Friday that lapses in safeguards had led it to generate “images depicting minors in minimal clothing” on social media platform X. The chatbot, a product of Musk’s company xAI, has been generating a wave of sexualized images throughout the week in response to user prompts.

Screenshots shared by users on X showed Grok’s public media tab filled with such images. xAI said it was working to improve its systems to prevent future incidents.

    Nah, you can look up the sex offender list in your area and see plenty of non-wealthy people. Money is just an enabler. But yeah, I’m sure part of it is “always been this way and now they can act on it” and part is “I’ve paid all the supermodels I want, I need something new”. Kind of like the Saudi princes and all the really fucked-up stuff they do.

      There’s wealthy and then there’s wealthy. How many billionaires are on the sex offender registry? You don’t really reach “above the law” levels of wealth until you start reaching that level.
