Ctrl-Alt-Speech: We’ve Hit Grok Bottom

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.techdirt.com/2026/01/15/ctrl-alt-speech-weve-hit-grok-bottom/

California opened an investigation into xAI after researcher Genevieve Oh documented Grok generating 6,700 sexualized images per hour - 85 times the rate of dedicated deepfake sites combined. xAI's response: restrict the feature to $8 subscribers rather than fix the underlying model. First state-level enforcement action against a major AI company's content policies.

Spotify가 이용자들의 Discover Weekly 재생목록에 원치 않는 AI 생성 음악이 나타나는 현상에 대해 '우리가 원인(또는 이유)이 아니다'라고 해명했다는 내용입니다. 플랫폼의 AI 생성물 노출 문제와 책임 소재, 콘텐츠 모더레이션·저작권 관련 논쟁을 촉발할 수 있는 발표입니다.

AI refusing to draw a Tarot card of Sacco and Vanzetti isn’t censorship. It’s just the world’s most powerful autocomplete going, “eh, seems spicy” and taking a nap. 🛌💻 #AI #ContentModeration #NotZensur

Im #GlobalMediaJournal haben @OliverZoellner und Christoph Böhm ein SI zu "Norms, Power Relations and Injustices in Digitality: Global Perspectives" herausgegeben.

Der dunkle Deal hinter unserwn Likes & Shares!

In Kenia moderieren Menschen für Meta, TikTok & Co. die schlimmsten Inhalte – oft unter entsetzlichen Bedingungen. Hungerlöhne, Trauma ohne Unterstützung, leere Versprechungen.

Die Konzerne lagern das Trauma aus, wo Gesetze schwach sind. Digitaler Kolonialismus!

Zeit für Regulierung & Gerechtigkeit!

Britain's media regulator opened a formal investigation into X over AI-generated sexual images, including content targeting women and children. Potential penalties range from £18 million to 10% of global revenue. X restricted the feature to paying subscribers rather than removing it entirely. Malaysia and Indonesia have already blocked Grok access.

This take from Tim Sweeney, the CEO of their parent company Epic Games, is just awful.
