Importantly, this took deepfake undressing from a tiny niche to a huge thing:

This means that it’s no longer a niche or really exceptional thing, but that harassment of women with this method is now pervasive.

    But that doesn’t leave many options for the victims. Maddie, who said she’s a 23-year-old pre-med student, woke up on New Year’s Day to an image that horrified her. On X, she had previously published a picture of herself with her boyfriend at a local bar, which two strangers altered using Grok.

    I’ve thought a lot of things would kill twitter…

    But if every time a woman posts a picture of herself, and neckbeards reply asking twitter AI to sexualize her, and the AI responds right there with it where everyone following the original account can see…

    I truly don’t understand how or why any women are still using it.

      How is this gigantic website even legal and still online? In the civilized world, I mean.

        It all starts with a little bill call the Telecommunications act of 1996…

        And yeah, loads of people said it would lead to this shit.

        But Silicon valley gave a shit ton of money to the Clinton’s for the Internet part, and telecoms for the part doing away with monopoly regulations.

    I’m pretty sure if anyone created a website that generated CSAM they’d be in jail by now. Just because it’s Elon Musk doing it, authorities are fine with it? At one time law enforcement would make an effort put up a facade of justice system that’s equal to everyone. This is how the masses would not rise up and dethrone the status quo. Anyone remember Martha Stewart going to jail for insider trading?

    Isn’t there Apple app store and Google play store policies that says this is not allowed? How come the app is still available on those mobile platforms? Where are EU regulators doing? No fines? Nothing?

    We’ve basically reached a point where billionaires are publicly mocking and daring the rest of us to react. Do these accelerationist billionaires really think they’ll come out ahead when the masses burn everything to the ground?

      Yes they do. They have been threatening us with their murder robots for a decade. Who do you think they are going to use those on?

      They view most everyone as takers.

    Politicians are already hellbent on “age”-verifying social-media, but Elon seems believe there to be a lack of urgency in this regard… Please regulate social-media harder daddy! Please, we’ve had the resources to comply with these perverse regulations for a while now. I didn’t hijack this platform, just for the lefties to be able to speak their mind on alternative platforms…

    I misread the title and thought it meant thousands of Musk undressed images per hour.

    The horror!

    Scrolled @grok undress and bikini for a bit, most of it is girls jumping on the trend asking to change their own photos and humor.
