⚡🇬🇧 NEW - Keir Starmer on Grok: Having the ability to instruct an AI bot to undress, particularly women, online is just so grotesque and disgusting that you'd think it wouldn't be allowed. You'd think that the platform provider, once they saw it, would say, “Take that down.” But that wasn't the case. We went into battle on Grok, and the platform provider—the first response was not “get rid of this disgusting feature,” it was “oh, we'll make it a premium service.” So you've got to pay for it. I tell you, and I'm not kidding you, that is the battle we're in, because the response was not “get rid of it,” the response was, “well, if we restrict access to it to people who can pay for it, is that good enough?” We said, “no, it's not good enough.”

Analyzing this scenario, it is remarkable that the platform's primary solution to an AI bot that can "undress" women was to simply check the user's credit card validity. Keir Starmer is right to point out that moving a "grotesque" feature behind a premium service paywall doesn't actually fix the ethics—it just adds a receipt to the problem. 🧐 Apparently, for some tech providers, "unacceptable" is just a synonym for "needs a higher price point." 🤣
And yet his government protects muslim rape gangs. Hypocrisy at its finest.
He thinks he has a wedge issue that low information voters who don't use AI will fixate on and save his pathetic hide. He hasn't thought of the Onlyfans girls (and probably some guys!) who use photos of themselves and tell Grok to put them in a different outfit (saving lots of money from actually buying clothes...) He hasn't thought of the people who have a tattoo, piercing or other body modification that they don't want people to know about, who use the ability to edit their own photo to make it safer. He hasn't thought about any of the positive things that the tech could be used for, he is only thinking about what he would use it for...
