At least Walmart is likely to honor the price on the shelf. Dollar stores often just change prices without updating the shelf, so you don't know what you're going to pay until you get to the register. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/03/customers-pa...

This is illegal in the UK (and we aren't even talking about the hidden tax surprise at US registers either), unsurprising to see it's normalised in the US.

xAI is actually generating the content, not just hosting it.

When a user is specifically jail-breaking the service to do so, I'll put it on the user rather than the service.

There's no jailbreaking going on here. The filters are all functioning as intended when someone requests transparent, skimpy, impossibly thin, or skin-tone clothing even on posts that explicitly give context that a child is pictured there. It's on the service.

Users just click the "edit image" button on someone else's post, then ask Grok to put a bikini on it. What's the jailbreak?

> Users just click the "edit image" button on someone else's post, then ask for Grok to put a bikini on it.

The user has to click edit. The user has to prompt. Why would you blame the software when these are all user actions?


> Unlike other leading chatbots, Grok doesn’t impose many limits on users or block them from generating sexualized content of real people, including minors, said Brandie Nonnecke, senior director of policy at Americans for Responsible Innovation. Other generative AI technologies, including ones from Anthropic PBC, OpenAI and Alphabet Inc.’s Google, are “giving a good-faith effort to mitigate the creation of this content in the first place,” she said. “Obviously, xAI is different. It’s more of a free-for-all.”

If Photoshop had a "Create Child Porn" button and the user pushed it, we'd blame both the user and Photoshop.

There’s no “create child porn” button. The user has to explicitly ask for child porn. If someone uses GIMP to create child porn, do you blame GIMP?

If GIMP had AI features like this, I'd expect safeguards. It doesn't. All other AI tools have safeguards against this kind of bad behavior that are lacking in Grok.

GIMP doesn’t have AI features, but you can still use it to create nasty stuff and there are no safeguards against that.

As always with AI, the barrier to entry has evaporated. You can create nasty stuff with a pencil but you can't flood the internet mass producing nasty stuff with a pencil.

There are basic, obvious safeguards that are not in place here. That's why the software is to blame. If it was some sort of jailbreaking or circumvention, that'd be one thing. But given the owner himself is amplifying this, this borders on being an intended use case.

None of my old phones works since the networks turned off 3G.

Yeah, instead of what? Mercari?


Article from 2011. eBay search has gotten much better at grouping things that might be typos or different ways of referring to the same thing. If anything, it's harder to be specific now.


That's just the category of news this is. It doesn't mean it's an ad.


I don't think so. It goes against their sponsored content policies https://www.businessinsider.com/sponsor-posts Specifically, it should be labelled, and editorial staff are not involved in making it.


Seems to be down? Here's a thread with a summary of exploits presented in the talk: https://bsky.app/profile/filippo.abyssdomain.expert/post/3ma...


Maybe the site is overloaded. But as for the "brb, were on it!!!!" - this page had the live stream of the talk when it was happening. Hopefully they'll replace it with the recording when media.ccc.de posts it, which should be within a couple hours.


> this page had the live stream of the talk when it was happening

As they said, they were on it...


it's online now


Took me a second but I got your joke


Also expect contents referred in the slides (every "chapter" of the presentation referred to a url such as https://gpg.fail/clearsig or https://gpg.fail/minisig and so on)


It looks like "prefer not to disclose sex" was typoed and should be 1 instead of 11.
