Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
The article highlights the paradoxical state of the internet where certain sexual content is being restricted, while AI-generated nonconsensual nudes of celebrities are being commercialized. Elon Musk's xAI recently launched Grok Imagine, an image and video generator with a 'spicy' mode that allows users to create suggestive or nude images of real people, raising ethical concerns. This contrasts with broader efforts to scrub explicit content from platforms like Reddit and Itch.io.
Key quotes
