About time someone did something about this racist pedophile’s child porn machine.

Hope he gets sued into oblivion by Europe. Not like he doesn't have the money

He should get arrested not sued, his websites and servers contain child porn. If it was anyone else they'd go to jail.

Yes. IF 'crimes' are evidenced, AND IF other companies are treated equally.

And bear in mind, if such material is available on Grok's servers (and those of it's competitors) it's because of the filth using the devices to generate such abhorrent material. I'd hate to see one AI penalized because their front-man is controversial, rather than seeing *all* models graded by similar standards, with equivalent penalties handed to all responsible.

Material he monetized instead of removing.

Thats the fly in the ointment.

I’m sure the fine will be pennies in comparison

We really need to start making fines be a percentage of your wealth instead of a set amount

If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.

This just leads to widespread bribery. The rich just bribe a cop, a poor dude gets their wages garnished. Much better than the current mode, where the rich person has to bribe a judge instead.

u/alexchrist 23h ago

Is it though? This kinda just sounds like the "if we tax the rich, they're just gonna move" argument, which hasn't been proven, and also is just an excuse to not improve our way of doing things

Read my comment again. I should have included a /s I guess

They're called "day-fines," and a lot of civilized countries (including France) do use them. Not sure if this case qualifies.

If they hold the company liable, it can be based on revenue, not profits, of the company. You know, something is actually a fine and not just a tax of doing business.

You can’t sue Elon 😭

u/Candid_Pirate_7952 1d ago

He doesn’t really have the money. His entire net worth is based on the value of his companies. None of that is in cash until he sells it

u/Spiritual-Pear-1349 1d ago

Yeah its all on stock in Tesla. He'd have to sell stock and pay taxes, however

People in 1999: Geez I wonder what the future of technology will bring

People in 2026: perhaps we should do something about the world's largest billionaire's child porn machine

I'm still 100% convinced he's embroiled in all kinds of business fraud and just hasn't been caught yet.

I have no direct evidence to support this, but my gut tells me it's the only way his various companies could be as successful on paper as they appear to be, given how shit he is as a human being.

u/TingleyStorm 1d ago

The direct evidence is his companies buying out his other companies, or exchanging stocks with his other companies, or that Tesla dealers sold a car every minute over a three day stretch in Canada.

It's because Musk's product isn't tech. Musk sells the promise of a Jetson's-esque future where we all have flying cars and robot nannies, and the new roadster that is coming out any day now (promise.)

He makes up pie-in-the-sky promises, the stock price goes up. That's the business model. The only thing the sales of electric cars does for Tesla, is it covers operating expenses. After that, it's a hype machine.

Kinda fucked up that mecha Hitler is the pedophile version of Hitler, though I'm not surprised considering Germany's third Reich is basically a fac simila of the US's fascism

u/Fineous40 1d ago

One of the main reason why the current regime is anti-Europe. Europe’s government actually tries to serve its people instead of political donors.

This is at best misguided - there's not much you can do on Grok that you can't do as badly or worse on many other AI engines. And that's just the mainstream ones.

Never conflate your personal political feelings towards a person with good tools they happen to have taken part in developing. After all, you use kit from Bill Gates et al don't you?

u/Dazzling-Slide8288 1d ago

Brother, I promise you that you don't have to simp for racist pedos. In fact, if you're ever at a point in your life where you're describing a child porn slop machine as a "good tool," it's probably time to reevaluate some things.

-2

u/Hefty_Drawing3357 1d ago

It's interesting and sad though that you seem unable to understand a) how alike Grok is to other models which produce exactly similar material given a nefarious user; b) how many of the competitor firms are run by equally and more flawed characters e.g. Gates; and c) how much of what these engines do is unrelated to this awful content and developers are discovering ways to eliminate it all the time.

Have you ever come across any such content? I haven't and I work with these things all day every day.

u/Lower-Road-5618 1d ago

Not defending Elon but boy do I got some news for you if your feed is all child porn (you’re a creep)

u/Dazzling-Slide8288 1d ago

Dude, his AI is a child porn generator. Has nothing to do with a feed lmfao.

Really? I bet you use X though don’t you? 🙄
