Hotez is far from bulletproof.

Absolutely.    Would you like other guys pointing out Hotez deficiencies?   It was actually more about Hotez but whatever? Why stick around? All the constructive back and forth

imagine being this bad at ignoring reports. i assume there were a literal fuckload of reports made by swifties on the main post. 24k RTs has to be in the top 0.1% of posts on that site in a 24 hour timeframe. same for any tweet with say 200k likes. you don't have someone manually looking at say the top 25 RTs and liked tweets on your site to see if it's the mario movie illegally uploaded or deepfakes of taylor swift?! 

what are you even doing?

One of the most prominent examples on X attracted more than 45 million views, 24,000 reposts, and hundreds of thousands of likes and bookmarks before the verified user who shared the images had their account suspended for violating platform policy. The post was live on the platform for around 17 hours prior to its removal.

Sexually explicit AI-generated images of Taylor Swift have been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) over the last day in the latest example of the proliferation of AI-generated fake pornography and the challenge of stopping it from spreading.

One of the most prominent examples on X attracted more than 45 million views, 24,000 reposts, and hundreds of thousands of likes and bookmarks before the verified user who shared the images had their account suspended for violating platform policy. The post was live on the platform for around 17 hours prior to its removal.

But as users began to discuss the viral post, the images began to spread and were reposted across other accounts. Many still remain up, and a deluge of new graphic fakes have since appeared. In some regions, the term “Taylor Swift AI” became featured as a trending topic, promoting the images to wider audiences.

X’s policies regarding synthetic and manipulated media and nonconsensual nudity both explicitly ban this kind of content from being hosted on the platform. X has not responded to our request for comment.

Swift’s fan base has criticized X for allowing many of the posts to remain live for as long as they have. In response, fans have responded by flooding hashtags used to circulate the images with messages that instead promote real clips of Swift performing to hide the explicit fakes.

The incident speaks to the very real challenge of stopping deepfake porn and AI-generated images of real people. Some AI image generators have restrictions in place that prevent nude, pornographic, and photorealistic images of celebrities from being produced, but many others do not explicitly offer such a service. The responsibility of preventing fake images from spreading often falls to social platforms — something that can be difficult to do under the best of circumstances and even harder for a company like X that has hollowed out its moderation capabilities.

 

The company is currently being investigated by the EU regarding claims that it’s being used to “disseminate illegal content and disinformation” and is reportedly being questioned regarding its crisis protocols after misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war was found being promoted across the platform.

Ohhh I can't wait until he starts talking about how hydrogen is better than helium due to its position on the periodic table and consequently MUST be the choice for the CyberLoon.

JFC.  So....other than "Elon thinks it looks cool, and I love to suck Elon's dick and tell him everything he does is masterful," what...exactly....is the point of this piece of shit?

FFS, I have a 24 year old F-150 4x4 that can handle everything the Cybertruck just balked at without breaking a sweat.  I don't need to take off any mudflaps, or hubcaps, or any shit like that.  I switch the dial from 4x2 to 4x4, and start driving.  Rock climbing, mud, etc.....it's done all that shit, easily.  The Cybertruck just got pantsed by a freaking Subaru (no shade to Subaru -- they really are great AWD performers).

This whole exercise is a goddamned comedy wrapped in a tragedy bathed in Elon's drug-addled runny shit.

I noticed that all the IncEL Camino dudes making these videos talk like those Tik Tok girls who end every sentence really high pitched like they’re asking a question. Drives me crazy! Stop making every declarative sentence sound like you’re asking a fucking question.

I know people IRL who do this shit.

It's a sign of insecurity.

Tesla shipping cars that aren't fully functional (differential) is amusing. But not as amusing as all the Musk ball nuzzlers that think thats great. Why should you expect a fully functional off-roading  vehicle. You only paid $80-$100K for that stunner. If a legacy automaker pulled that shit, they would be excoriated by the press. When Elon does it, its like "oh that elon, such a visionary". That fucking dork in the video would probably go without a steering wheel if he could jerk Elon off for a  few minutes.

I’m just waiting for videos from the guys who say they got shot through the door when they tested their cybertruck’s bulletproof claim.

...all while singing the praises of the cybertruck while in the ER

tldw: If you want to survive the apocalypse, skip the cybertruck and buy two subarus for about the same price. Bonus: People will mistake you for a lesbian instead of an elmo bro.

Slap some Taos and Telluride stickers on the back and maybe something about a national park and that usually clears that up.

Your truck hasn't had mud flaps or hubcaps in years.

Cybertruck makers watching this video (if they care, which they probably don't):

One of the weird bits in that video was when the guy was plugging his accessory/Tesla support business at the 3ish minute mark and went on to talk about replacing filters in the models because "you're probably familiar with, you know that gross sock smell"

I get that he makes money off the filters, but dude you just paid a lot of money for a truck that smells like dirty socks and you still rave about it? That sounds like an Elon bro, for sure.

talkin bout mudflaps, my trucks got'em

Same. They don't do shit since the drive to my place in Vermont is almost 2 miles of just dirt road, but I like having them.

BTW - I got a 4x4 Taco

 

And that guy "oh I don't know if a compressor is feasible ..."

My girl Chloe put two different ones in her Taco(ma)

F off.  It's still got two hubcaps.  I even got the door handles fixed, so you can get into it from both sides now.  It's a veritable cadillac compared to the Cybertruck.
