Yet they can't manage to let user delete the pictures that they uploaded into Grok, and then these pictures are automatically indexed on Google
stronglikedan•1mo ago
"delete" and "upload" shouldn't be used in the same sentence in the context of social media. I mean, yeah you should be able to, but good luck with that on any platform tied to social media.
rvnx•1mo ago
but it is not social media here, it is when you upload your personal picture on the image editor like on AI Studio @ Google, nowhere it says it will be shared publicly
colesantiago•1mo ago
So we need the entire world's available money, capital, energy and earth's entire resources in order to improve LLMs so that my daughter's cousin can keep talking to their imaginary 'friend'.

I can't wait until AI startups need to raise $100TN dollars for this important mission.

etblg•1mo ago
Judging from the recent news, it's also now so weirdos online can get an AI to make CSAM about your daughter's cousin. Fascinating twist.
onemoresoop•1mo ago
What is xAI? Is it something serious such as what Anthropic did to coding? Can it compete with Google? I've tried Grok and seems farcical and useless for me at least, what am I missing?

It’s for generating deepfake porn: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/07/grok-deep...

Presumably this investment is a vote of confidence in the pervert market.

mrtksn•1mo ago
It's much more than that, it's a mass population and politics control device thanks to Twitter. They can choose what everyone knows about the world and how they know it. Also, they have the ability to produce the thing that the people will know and limit competing ideas or contradicting information. Think of it as full censorship and full moderation of information flow that is automated by AI.

The upside is limitless.

This used to be a serious web site.
mrtksn•1mo ago
True, people weren't just leaving snarky comments. Instead they were writing counter arguments etc. Total enshittification.
gulfofamerica•1mo ago
I didnt realize your comment was sardonic, hard to tell these days.
