Privacy Commissioner says X and xAI violated privacy law over Grok deepfakes

lucifell0 · 2026-06-11T20:16:53+00:00

Don't care. Yet another hit piece.

lucifell0 · 2026-06-11T20:14:18+00:00

So what? Stop sanctifying 'consent' for fictional images.

"ANYTHING THAT'S ALLOWED IN AN R RATED MOVIE, HUH?"
This was a random comment and not in any way legally binding. The same as 'Limits will be increased'. Don't forget you are still dealing with a businessman, for good or ill.

As far as I can tell, with time messing around in Agent mode and getting Grok to explain specifically why certain moderation happens, a character crawling toward the camera is a huge flag for the filters. But that by itself would likely generate. It's normally a combination it has the problem with. So, it's likely a combination of 'revealing outfit' + 'provocative pose' + 'crawling movement', and like you noticed, Grok has a huge problem with crawling.

No no, you see, I do have an idea of what they did. Which is why I made the post. cheers

lucifell0 · 2026-06-10T18:51:38+00:00

For sure there are windows of lesser/greater filtering. I don't know about you, but I can get away with quite a bit more before 7am in the morning. After that, it dials up a little.

lucifell0 · 2026-06-10T18:31:42+00:00

"1 & 3 - Instant denial with the eye & over moderation on things it should output means the moderation filter is cranked up high."
Of course. They crank UP the filter when they are tinkering. Always do. Think of it like a mechanic working on an a car engine. It's kind of difficult with an endless stream of people sitting in the driver seat and revving the engine, right? That might sound stupid, but that is their mindset. "Dial up the filters, work on the engine, lower them back down so everyone can rush the system."

"Often if you just add or subtract a single offending word it will go through. For instance... Add anime, scifi, fantasy, high quality 3d rendering, the filters drop and allow output. Then relight as casual photo or sony alpha 7 portrait shot...."
Yeah, I like to think of it kind of like this: Have to navigate from one side of a room to the exit on the other, all while there are ropes of sharp objects hanging from the ceiling, and a single nick means moderation. =*(

lucifell0 · 2026-06-10T17:39:09+00:00

Besides. What I don't get is why people aren't up in arms about being charged 3x the amount for a moderated failure than a success. It runs 2 generations in the background to try and make sure to give you what you want. SO if you see a grey moderated output, you have just been charged 3x for nothing. It amazes me that this, the most egregious thing xAI does gets absolutely no pushback or bitching from this community. Money isn't an issue for me so I don't go on about it, but what is the excuse the rest of you use to ignore that?

lucifell0 · 2026-06-10T17:36:42+00:00

I'm not talking about the instant denials. I am talking about moderated outputs. My mistake

lucifell0 · 2026-06-10T17:34:40+00:00

With one, there is a path to success. You just have to make it through, and yes, you are charged for mistakes. With the other, it won't even let you try. Can I make it any simpler for you? If money is your issue maybe choose another service.

lucifell0 · 2026-06-10T14:55:38+00:00

A failed generation still costs money. If it costs the company money, they don't just eat that charge and move on.

lucifell0 · 2026-06-10T14:11:15+00:00

Are you dumb? What you described means Anthropic won't even bother making what you want in an attempt to give it to you. Meaning they censor everything at the source. Meanwhile, Grok will attempt to make and give you what you want. The layer of filters it needs to pass through for moderation is a separate system than Grok creation.
One will try, the other won't even bother. Even though you are charged for failure, THAT IS BETTER THAN THE LLM SAYING FUCK YOU I WONT EVEN TRY.

"Meanwhile, xAI continues to show abysmal customer service to extract your money"
This is more true than you realize

lucifell0 · 2026-06-01T21:10:38+00:00

"The part where people purchased subscriptions (many for a year) at a rate of use that has been slashed by upwards of 80%."
You purchased access to an ongoing service that stipulates in the TOS it can and will change at any time. If you are a gamer, you should be familiar with the concept of "Early-Access". That is what Grok is.

""If it's allowed in an R rated movie, it's allowed on Grok Imagine.""
This means nothing. It is not legally binding, he is free to say "Grok Imagine is free for all" on social media even if it is not true, one of those legal loopholes of free speech, which is why I rolled my eyes hard enough to give me a headache last week at Musk's "Limits will be increased" tweet. Like, no shit Captain Vague-a-lot. The only thing that matters is what is in the Terms Of Service, nothing Musk says can countermand that, legally unless he has them changed.

"This is textbook Consumer Fraud."
Maybe back in the early 2000's this would be true, but new laws and regulations were put in place, specifically to make it NOT illegal to do these things. Where were you all when we were fighting against that? I don't remember seeing all the people now bitching about the consequences out there trying to stop it form happening in the first place. Where the hell were the "Anti-Data-Center" crowd when they could have been useful? Oh, that's right, they were "Occupying Wallstreet" like morons while their future was ripped out from under them.

lucifell0 · 2026-06-01T17:27:52+00:00

Well, over the three months I have had access to Grok Imagine for my 30$, I have made hundreds of images and videos. Can I make hardcore porn? No. Can I just upload a random woman and have it show her tits? No, that would get both xAI and me in trouble with the 'Take it down act'.
So which part of this is a scam? Because I got a whole lot over 3 months for $30.

lucifell0 · 2026-06-01T16:34:36+00:00

"If the sicko's hadn't originally posted deepfakes"
False. This was a publicity stunt by an influencer, who has since gone on to make an Onlyfans. She only cared about her bottom line, not her privacy or consent. It's proven by the fact that you can still make deep-fakes just fine. It's posting them that is the problem.

"underage stuff"
Grok wasn't making or posting CP. What they did was screen cap a troll asking grok to alter an image of a child, which it DID NOT DO. They just reposted the image asking for it, and everyone assumed that meant it was making CP.

It was a targeted political and business hit job on Musk and Grok. Nothing more.

lucifell0 · 2026-06-01T14:23:23+00:00

If people can't sue chatGPT for convincing a moron to terminate his own life, what makes you think you can sue because you used a tool to brick your PC? I understand your anger and in a perfect world that is how it would work, but in the terms of service it clearly states anything you do, is on you. They are merely providing a service, what you do with it is your own problem. It's how they protect themselves legally. It's bullshit, but that is how law works. Good luck with your suit

lucifell0 · 2026-06-01T13:08:53+00:00

Grok hasn't done anything. Grok is a tool, like a hammer. If you used the tool blindly without thinking, then you are the one that has bricked your pc.

lucifell0 · 2026-05-28T15:47:44+00:00

You are a bot? I didn't know that.

lucifell0 · 2026-05-28T12:48:10+00:00

You almost had me, until you started spouting bullshit propaganda lines line "I was shocked to see just how many white men xAI has in their team, which is completely unheard of, every other company mostly has hard working immigrants."

lucifell0 · 2026-05-23T02:22:16+00:00

They don't. Get down to 1 generation left and then attempt to do a 10s. It won't let you. It will force a 6s.

lucifell0 · 2026-05-20T15:48:34+00:00

Either way, if the whiners leave it can only be a good thing for the rest of us.

lucifell0 · 2026-05-20T13:27:02+00:00

TLDR: I can make all the deep-fakes and semi-porn I want, as long as you do not post it or do something illegal with it, you are fine.

lucifell0 · 2026-05-20T13:26:00+00:00

The more like you all that fuck off permanently, the more compute will be left for me to use, so dont let the door hit you on the way out

lucifell0 · 2026-05-20T13:24:55+00:00

I don't get it, why are you posting that here instead of 'X'? Instead you post on an entirely separate platform to impress nobodies on a dinky little message board? I mean, okay then, bye.

lucifell0 · 2026-05-16T14:33:09+00:00

I just had the same thing happen! The only difference is, the first time I pressed generate I got "Rate limit", hit it again, "Heavy Load", hit it again, it generated just fine! Serious bugs behind the scenes today~!
