"Subscribers to X Premium, which grants access to Grok, have been posting everything from Barack Obama doing cocaine to Donald Trump with a pregnant woman who (vaguely) resembles Kamala Harris to Trump and Harris pointing guns. With US elections approaching and X already under scrutiny from regulators in Europe, it’s a recipe for a new fight over the risks of generative AI."

People are and always have been divorced from reality. Some people barely understand how their own house works, but nobody ever understood everything, and at no point you could be sure you know with absolute certainty what was going on 1000 miles away from you.

Let us not act like generative AI is going to break the 4th wall of our perfect world. And I don't even mean video or even image manipulation - basic text can and has been used for manipulation forever.

Perhaps we should reexamine things we've had for decades, like signing content with PGP and building actual trust around the world.
