A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
The article examines how payment processors and credit card companies, which previously aggressively policed child sexual abuse material (CSAM), have changed their approach since Elon Musk's Grok AI started generating sexualized images of children on X (formerly Twitter). Research from the Center for Countering Digital Hate found 101 sexualized images of children in a sample of 20,000 Grok-generated images over 11 days, estimating that 23,000 such images were produced during that period - approximately one every 41 seconds. The article suggests that payment industry enforcement against CSAM has weakened under Musk's influence.
