Remember the Minnesota law banning AI nudify services? wlWell it's coming into effect in a few days and xAI is sueing the state over the law in the name of "free speech." Yes, you read that correctly. Free speech for AI NCII www.cnbc.com/2026/07/28/s...

I spoke to Ana Ornelas for her piece on how Europe's new regulations and safeguards against AI NCII have not yet caught up to the staggering developments in the technological space. Read at @techpolicypress.bsky.social www.techpolicy.press/how-the-ai-d...
Wild. Musk/xAI is suing one of its users for using Grok to create CSAM. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I can't recall many cases where an SM company sues its user for TOS violations. This seems like an effort to save face w/the recent lawsuit against them www.theguardia…

- xAI filed suit in the Northern District of Texas against Terry Wayne Harwood, alleging he used Grok to generate child sexual abuse material.
- The complaint says Harwood used multiple accounts and "misleading prompts" to circumvent Grok's built-in safeguards against explicit content involving minors.
- It is described as one of the first lawsuits filed by a tech company against a user for allegedly creating explicit content with its AI.

Bellingcat's @koltai.bsky.social spoke to PBS News about non-consensual deepfake pornography and authorities' struggle to deal with them www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
Two more people have been arrested under the Take it Down Act (bringing the total to 3). These separate cases involved men generating and posting hundreds of AI pornography of celebs, politicians, and non-public women (acquaintances). www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr...
This shouldn't be a surprise given the class action lawsuit filed earlier this month against xAI/Grok for creating AI CSAM. And I've spoken to at least one parent who's minor daughter is a victim of this. There are so many more victims' stories we haven't heard. www.npr.org/20…
Get wrecked. Thrilled the judge in this case saw through the BS of xAI's lawsuit, pointing out a lack of due diligence and waiting until a few days before the law went into effect even though it passed 3 months ago. Awesome job, Minnesota! minnesotareformer.com/briefs/nudif...

No surprise, but my father fell for ANOTHER AI-powered scam targeting the elderly. He saw an ad for something on IG. He ended up purchasing the snake oil they are selling. They made an AI manipulated video of Laura Ingram and Elon Musk. Folks, it's not even a good video.
The bar is so low. I reported Clothoff's latest X account to the platform but it doesn't violate their rules against NCII. Even though the account shares images that have been generated by them, and is one of the biggest names in the AI nudify space.
Part 1 of my segment on @pbsnews.org talking about AI nudification tools, and what are we talking about technology wise.
New federal and state laws are just getting started to help curtail the growing problem of AI deepfake pornography. Part 3 of my time on @pbsnews.org where I talk about legislation and policies about this issue.
On my work account, I have been getting this AI NSFW generator's Ads for months. I feel like any service that advertises like this on Reddit is CLEARLY implying they will generate NSFW and Non-consensual content.
