First-in-nation law sets up test on states’ power to regulate use of AI as it tries to outlaw fake nude images of real people
Elon Musk’s company xAI has sued Minnesota over the state’s first-in-the-nation law banning “nudification” technology on websites and apps, potentially providing a test for how far states can go in constitutionally regulating the use of artificial intelligence.
Musk’s company sued on Monday in federal court, days before the law is set to take effect on Saturday and make Minnesota the first state to try to outlaw the increasingly proliferating technology that lets people use AI to create fake nude images of real people. The law was signed in May.
Using AI to undress images of children you filmed in public with your pervert glasses is a first amendment right! They can’t make that illegal! I hate big government meddling in everything that’s none of their business!
The government exists to protect the wealthy, ruin the economy for everyone else, execute brown people and lefty commies in the the street, control women’s bodies and force them to do what men say and bear our spawn whenever we want, keep gays from being able to marry, and make sure the lives of all those rainbow freaks are pure hell every day. And that’s all!
They have ZERO business interfering with the natural, normal, beautiful acts of grown men having sex with children or using technology to undress them without their consent or knowledge!
Elon Musk? You mean the guy who murdered all those children with a chainsaw? The guy who invented replicator technology, but only for CSAM? That guy?
Give him time, man. He’s bound to have a ton of money invested in creating a way to physically replicate the actual children. It’s an area of research a lot of rich and powerful people are highly interested in, especially now that they’ve pretty much perfected boner pills.
The odds on Kalshi that a way to clone kids and quickly age them to whatever age (1-16) you set the dial to will be publicly available at least a year before boring shit like a cure for cancer or Malaria are 7146:1 right now.
I put $30 on cancer coming first just because I’m sure some idiot somewhere is still working on that, and maybe they’ll get lucky. At the moment that’s my most fleshed out retirement plan.
I don’t understand why he insists on making this a thing. I mean, i can see why he would get involved–he’s a repugnant incel-pilled dork who has to offer compensation in exchange for sex because literally nobody wants to do it with him. This is how he gets his revenge on women for not acquiescing to his disgusting advances.
But looking beyond all that, i still want to understand why he believes it’s so important that it exists–that he’s willing to fight lawsuits over it. I don’t know if this properly explains it, but i think it’s important to see what they’re saying about it.
In the lawsuit, xAI said the terms of service for using Grok prohibit using it for “any illegal, harmful, or abusive activities” that violate someone’s privacy, including altering their image to nudify them or depict them in a sexually explicit image. It said it enforces those rules against violators through account suspensions or terminations, and by reporting suspected child sexual abuse content.
xAI also said earlier this year that it has “zero tolerance for any forms of child sexual exploitation, non-consensual nudity, and unwanted sexual content”.
After a global backlash over sexualized images of women and children, Grok said in January it will geo-block content if it violates laws in a particular place, preventing people from editing photos of real people in revealing clothing in places where that is illegal. Grok’s “spicy mode” had allowed users to create explicit content, leading to a backlash from governments worldwide.
“We have implemented technological measures to prevent the Grok account from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis, underwear and other revealing attire,” xAI said in a January statement.
It sounds like this thing isn’t going to be allowed nearly anywhere if it’s as restricted as they claim it is. Which leads me of course to the fact that this asshole will do whatever he wants regardless of the law and anyone that wants to challenge him can try to get their day in court. Bonus points for their self-policing solution, lol. I’m sure Grok’ll be turning pedos in left and right 🥴
He is afraid to lose the only branch that actually provides income?
