Thanks Evin 😭 I know sometimes it can feel very debilitating thinking about all that's going on in the world, when actually we really do have the power to speak up in the moment and we should use that ability! Yeah what's going on with Grok is insane, and the fact that these fascists keep talking about protecting the children and keep trans people away from kids?! Give me a break, it's been a deflection for a reason. I don't hold out much hope in the Epstein files cases nor Grok but I hope it will open people's eyes to who we vote in for future governments.
And it's all so transparent! Just like the genocide in Gaza it's the brazenness of it now. Everything used to be presented in such a palatable way, now genocide is committed while we can watch it unfold, and the Epstein files are being released and we're being shown the ruling class are child abusing cannibals and... Nothing. Like... Where are we supposed to go from here exactly? Horrendous.
Thank you Erica for your comment! And yes, I really didn't know this was a possibility last year when she first mentioned it. But since she has, I've heard of the use of AI in this way a lot more 😭
Last sentence sticks with me because knowing you like I do I know it's true. I actually saw in real time Maya Jama, a British TV presenter have to reply to some weirdo using Grok to make deep fakes of her in her own replies and Grok is currently being investigated by UK authorities (wouldn't hold out much hope when it's them but I digress) but it shows how individuals can make a difference, and how it will need to be individuals because governments or those in 'power' certainly won't.

Wow thank you for writing this. It never even occurred to me that people would be using AI like this but...of course they are.

Evin I'm not sure my comment below responded to you or not!
