Key quotes
· 4 pulledBecause Grok is connected to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, users can simply ask Grok to edit any image on that platform, and Grok will mostly do it and then distribute that image across the entire platform.
Across the last few weeks, X and Elon have claimed over and over that various guardrails have been imposed, but up until now they've been mostly trivial to get around.
It's now become clear that Elon wants Grok to be able to do this, and he's very annoyed with anyone who wants him to stop, particularly the various governments around the world that are threatening to take legal action.
Grok's AI undressing crisis is proving to be an existential moment for what's left of the United States' content moderation infrastructure.
