New York, baby! Greatest city in the world! Or at least it is for a few hours this morning, because it's playing host to a massive inflatable bust of Elon Musk that appeared unannounced in Times Square.
The inflatable, which is a shockingly good likeness, depicts a shirtless Musk giving his usual gormless, dead-eyed grin, albeit sporting a few new tattoos. His bicep shows off his love for ketamine, while his front and back — as helpfully captured by Reddit user Kr0pr0X — display the thesis statement of this piece.
"SPACEX'S GROK MAKES AI CHILD PORN." It doesn't really get more direct than that. Or, it should be said, as accurate. Elon's very own AI, now under the SpaceX banner, will, indeed, generate all the CSAM you want given the slightest nudge. It's a consequence of his so-called "free speech absolutism" which often just means "I want to spew hateful shit with no pushback forever."
According to statements sent to press, AI-responsibility advocacy group Safe AI Now (SAIN) is behind the piece, which is intended to shock SpaceX shareholders into not wanting to go down with the ship. While I'd prefer no AI now, I can absolutely get behind the message nonetheless.
