| Banning Twitter 08:07 - Jan 9 with 1808 views | Dr_Winston | If you think Starmer and Co give two shits about Grok images, then I've got some magic beans to sell you. They can't control what people say on it, so they want it banned. This is censorship. Plain and simple. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/art |  |

As long as there are VPNS censorship is pretty pointless unless it is worldwide. [Post edited 9 Jan 11:04]

| Banning Twitter on 11:10 - Jan 9 with 955 views | Joesus_Of_Narbereth | In an early episode of the office, an email is going around with David Brent’s face superimposed onto a woman’s naked body with two men performing an act on him. That show released 25 years ago this year, they were probably using a dial up connection and had computers the size of houses that could barely run Minesweeper. The use of technology to undress people not a new problem created explicitly by AI. Perverts are always gonna pervert. The creation of these images to deliberately humiliate or degrade people should have always been illegal, to my knowledge it is. To ban an entire platform because a few sick individuals use it for nefarious reasons is not addressing the root cause. They’ll move onto other platforms. As the OP says this is all about censorship because people online are not particularly complimentary about the government in recent times and they don’t have any control over it. |  |

He is apparently very thin skinned so all those hundreds of AI memes ridiculing him and his pathetic excuse of a government will no doubt have got his goat. X is also the go to platform for the anti-woke brigade so has long been in the Left's crosshairs... |  |

We’ve moved on from cartoons and puppets now. AI will see the next level of cutting satire. Saw a great one of the US army abseiling their way into Downing Street to take Starmer away Maduro style, only to find him in bed with the three Ukrainian lads who firebombed his house. Again they want to ban it because they can’t control it and don’t like being ridiculed. |  |

Nor should they ever be in a position to ban it, the days of private eye lampooning public figures has moved on , even today’s version of spitting image is child like compared the stuff that’s produced today. People are totally fed up with the lies and policies being foisted upon them and at the moment the only way we have to fight back is to ridicule those who rule us. |  |

It's the same PM calling for immediate action that has resisted and kicked down the road the Grooming Gangs inquiry, disgusting hypocrisy. |  |

If they were targeting all AI image makers capable of this rather than the one that happens to belong to a Social Media network owned by Elon Musk I could buy that. However as they're not the real reason for it is more transparent than a glass of spring water. I certainly agree that images of this type are abhorrent and those guilty of making them should serve long sentences. |  |

It’s the biggest platform in the world, masquerading as a social media site. It makes sense to try and block criminal content. It’s always been a sewer, the last few weeks have plummeted to new depths. |  | |  |

It is a social media site regardless of whether you like the content. Just as Bluesky is in the opposite direction, albeit far less popular. |  |

It’s stops becoming social media when the algorithm takes over. An individual has little agency these days. Facebook is much the same but more focussed on advertising and less on 13 year olds in swimwear. |  | |  |

| Banning Twitter on 18:35 - Jan 9 with 647 views | AnotherJohn | I'm not that keen on X, but do post occasionally. As far as my feed goes, the generality of posts are not as anti-woke as they might be, with a plethora of "rejoining the EU", pro-Starmer, and pro-SNP posts, but I would not support banning the platform. What strikes me is that censorship of fake body images may become more difficult as AI evolves into AGI. The difference is that artificial general intelligence is not optimised on a specific domain, but is trained on a full range of expert knowledge, and will be capable via machine learning to move beyond the training data set to surpass the sum of human knowledge. Perhaps those better versed in information technology than I am can tell us if it would be possible to corral an AGI large-language-model so that it would not synthesize such images? |  | |  |

I don’t believe in banning it either but as with much tech, I worry about the lack of accountability. As for AGI I’m no expert but it’s only going to get more powerful. I do question whether overall AI overall will be a good thing. |  | |  |
