European Union regulators have opened a formal investigation into Elon Musk's social media platform X after its AI chatbot Grok started producing nonconsensual sexualized deepfake imagesLONDON -- The European Union opened a formal investigation into Elon Musk's social media platform X on Monday after his artificial intelligence chatbot Grok started spewing nonconsensual sexualized deepfake images on the platform. European regulators also widened a separate, ongoing investigation into X's recommendation systems after the platform said it would switch to Grok's AI system to choose which posts users see. The problem was amplified both because Musk pitches his chatbot as an edgier alternative with fewer safeguards than rivals, and because Grok’s images are publicly visible, and can therefore be easily spread. The EU investigation covers only Grok's service on X, and not Grok's website and standalone app. The bloc has also been scrutinizing X over allegations that Grok generated anti-Semitic material and has asked the site for more information.

Ultimately, the process allows for an estimation of the scope of the health benefits of these clean air rules, knowing that air pollution is deadly and that pollution reduction saves lives. It’s emitted from the tailpipes of cars, wildfire smoke, smokestacks and really any source of traditional air pollution. The costs of air pollution are well known, well documented and will continue, especially if lifesaving clean air policies are weakened, repealed and reduced in their effectiveness.

President Trump has an army of bootlickers that seems to stretch to the sunset. Many of them creep around on social media and almost certainly legions of them come from bot accounts on X. On Saturday morning, Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti after they gang-tackled him. Essayli was soon getting smacked around on social media by gun rights groups, including the NRA, which has endorsed Trump in all his presidential races. When history looks back at all the cowards, sycophants, apologists, enablers, henchmen and other miscreants that made Trump possible, the bootlickers will have a starring role.
