> everything that Grok is accused of is something which you can also trigger in currently available open-weight models (if you know what you're doing)

Well, yes. You can make child pornography with any video-editing software. How is this exoneration?

I'm not talking about video editing software; that's a different class of software. I'm talking about other generative AI models, which you can download today onto your computer, and have it do the same thing as Grok does.

> How is this exoneration?

I don't know; you tell me where I said it was? I'm just stating a fact that Grok isn't unique here, and if you want to ban Grok because of it then you need to also ban open weight models which can do exactly the same thing.

> that's a different class of software. I'm talking about other generative AI models

And the article is talking about a social media site. A different class of software and company.

> if you want to ban Grok

Straw man. Nobody has suggested this.

I think he is talking about France who does very much seem like they want to ban X and Grok?

If Grok is a child pornography tool then it will be banned. If Elon doesn't want Grok to be banned, he can disable the child pornography feature.

Agreed, thankfully, there is no CSAM feature, and they patched it in a couple of days so that it would stop obeying requests to do so and banned the users abusing Grok for that purpose. Once they prove they have put the appropriate mechanisms in place to make sure it doesn't happen again it's fine and dandy, no?

If by patched you mean he made it cost money.

Source? I’m not seeing that in the French-language press.

Well you could not sue the video-editing software for someone making child pornography with it. You would, quite sanely, go after the pedophiles themselves.

We don't go after Adobe for doing that. We go after the person who did it.
