Grok says safeguard lapses led to images of 'minors in minimal clothing' on X By Reuters January 2, 20267:40 PM GMT+1Updated 1 hour ago Illustration shows xAI and Grok logos xAI and Grok logos are seen in this illustration taken, February 16, 2025. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration Purchase Licensing Rights, opens new tab Jan 2 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's xAI artificial intelligence chatbot Grok said on Friday lapses in safeguards had resulted in "images depicting minors in minimal clothing" on social media platform X and that improvements were being made to prevent this. Screenshots shared by users on X showed Grok's public media tab filled with images that users said had been altered when they uploaded photos and prompted the bot to alter them. "There are isolated cases where users prompted for and received AI images depicting minors in minimal clothing," Grok said in a post on X. "xAI has safeguards, but improvements are ongoing to block such requests entirely." "As noted, we've identified lapses in safeguards and are urgently fixing them — CSAM is illegal and prohibited," Grok said, referring to Child Sexual Abuse Material. Grok gave no further details. When contacted by Reuters for comment by email, xAI replied with the message "Legacy Media Lies". In a separate reply to a user on X on Thursday, Grok said most cases could be prevented through advanced filters and monitoring although it said "no system is 100% foolproof," adding that xAI was prioritising improvements and reviewing details shared by users.

This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc)

What's the reason for the change from pre1 to pre-1?

I love these environment attributes! Hope that more get added in the future, like water and foliage colors.

This was a pretty hacky implementation btw. I'm relying on matching the filename of the image.

This is necessary because I'm fetching the list of attachments from the public API and the list of comments from the servicedesk API. And the internal media ID's are not the same between those.

On the left a screenshot of what a comment with media looked like before, with [media] as text. On the right a screenshot of what it looks like right now, with the real image inserted between the text.

Images and videos in comments now show up correctly on mojira.dev!

Unfortunately it seems like this only works for comments added after the migrations.

There is a whole backlog of features at github.com/misode/mojir..., so if you're interested in some of them, please upvote them so I can prioritize!

The user overview page of user "Misode", showing a list of assigned and reported issues, and a list of recent comments.

I've just added user overview pages on mojira.dev! You can click on usernames in bug reports and comments to go to this page.

For example: mojira.dev/user/Misode

The wonderful @jacobsjo.eu has just fixed a longstanding texture bleeding issue in NBT Viewer (and other tools using deepslate) 🎉

Spotted a typo in chapter The diff: you wrote "from Gandi to Cloudflare" while it should be the oppsite.

Legacy votes have all been synced with this update. It will take a couple of days to fully sync this, so sorting by votes won't immediately be accurate.

Issues on mojira.dev will now show the original name of reporters and commenters from before the migration. Thanks @tryashtar.bsky.social for the suggestion!

RSS/Atom feeds for issue filters · Issue #21 · misode/mojira.dev Work in progress mirror of the Minecraft bug tracker - RSS/Atom feeds for issue filters · Issue #21 · misode/mojira.dev

That sounds like something I could add! I've created an issue for it on github: github.com/misode/mojir...

Issue detail page of MC-4: Item drops sometimes appear at the wrong location

This is a mirror of the Minecraft bug tracker written in @golang.org. It syncs items from both the public API and the servicedesk API in order to get all fields.

This means that mojira.dev will keep working when the bug tracker goes down or when it is extremely slow!

Homepage of mojira.dev with some filters applied: MC project and Confirmed issues. A table of issues is shown.

I've been working on mojira.dev for the past week in my free time, and it's starting to become a usable site! I've just added this issue table layout:

After 2 months, our more than 80 data packs are now updated to 1.21.5 and available on gm4.co! The update changed 3739 files 😮

We're also on @modrinth.com and @smithed.net!

Impressive that Emma had to learn all these languages!

The dialog generator now has a visual preview, closely matching vanilla! #mcdev #datapacks

Nice! I thought about doing this but figured someone else would probably do it before me 😅

Can you make it so you can also enter a username and it looks up your uuid?

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

I'm interested to see how this goes. Let's hope it turns out to be useful and won't be shut down due to spam.

I've contributed the /mcdoc command on the MinecraftCommands discord and it is now available! This directly takes the data from vanilla-mcdoc and allows querying any JSON or NBT schemas.

Amazing news, welcome back!

Yay, I'm in the release notes!

AI is Creating a Generation of Illiterate Programmers A couple of days ago, Cursor went down during the ChatGPT outage. I stared at my terminal facing those red error messages that I hate to see. An AWS error glared back at me. I didn’t want to figure it...

It's looking unlikely that I'll beat my record of 2021. I need to make 200 more contributions this year...

Looks great!

Add some gallery images! :D
