X's new AI image generator will make anything
xAI’s Grok chatbot now lets X Premium subscribers create images from text prompts, leading to content like Barack Obama doing cocaine, Donald Trump with a pregnant woman resembling Kamala, etc. However, Grok refused to generate a single request: an image of a naked woman.
Grok will tell you it has guardrails if you ask, which probably aren't real rules, as responses vary when asked multiple times, with different policies each time.
Unlike OpenAI, which restricts prompts for real people and harmful content, Grok’s approach aligns with Musk’s disregard for standard AI safety norms amid ongoing investigation from the European Commission.

US Considers a Rare Antitrust Move: Breaking Up Google
The Justice Department is considering breaking up Alphabet's Google following a landmark court ruling that found the company monopolized the online search market. Less severe options include forcing Google to share more data with the competitors and preventing unfair advantages in AI products.
Alphabet shares were down 3.8% at 10:13 a.m. in New York, the most since Aug. 5, when a federal judge ruled the company has an illegal monopoly in the search market. The US government is likely to seek a ban on exclusive contracts in its case against Google, with the most likely divestment units being the Android operating system and Google's Chrome browser. Officials are also considering forcing the sale of AdWords, the platform used for text advertising.
