    Took 'em less than a week to weaponize it. Gotta protect those kids, am I right?

    Just like… the UK is so ahead of its time in terms of making the worst policy decisions possible.

    X declined to comment, but its AI chatbot, Grok, indicated the clip had been restricted under the Online Safety Act due to violent content.

    Oh my god… it doesn’t work that way!

    The chatbot doesn’t know who or how restricted the video. The chatbot doesn’t know anything its just calculated that based on its training data “Yes the video was restricted due to the Online Safety Act” was a likely answer and then it spit that out.

      I still think it’s amusing that the author views Grok as a spokesperson for Twitter

        Twitter deserves it even if it isn’t accurate.

      Not reporting on it kinda lets X have it both ways though. They can curate it to be a spokesperson and default to spreading a certain message to users, but if the media reports that same message it’s suddenly out of context because it’s just a fancy autocomplete.

      So what? Hold Twitter accountable for the lies Grok tells anyway.

      I remember ChatGPT telling my dad that his image will be generated any moment now when the app clearly glitched out and didn’t give him his 20th Ghibli image of my mum.

    People should be aware that the Free Speech Union is run by fuckwit spherical slaphead Toby Young.

    This country is sorely in need of a revolution.

    And there it is. The unintended consequence that these mf’s definitely intended to happen.

    Want a certain law? Create a problem with that law as the solution. The created problem that is not a problem: oooeeeh ThE chILdreEeennnn…

    Fuckers.

      Archie Battersbee’s mum is part of this as well. She claims her child died of a tiktok challenge. He was found hanging and no phone in sight. I honestly think she’s just in denial of a different circumstance, especially after the whole case of harassing the hospital.
