I’m here at the Nassau County Republican Committee watch party, where there appears to be AI-generated thank you signs at the bar, but no signature drinks. The first song played: Credence Clearwater Revival’s Fortunate Son

Free buses? Julie Menin and Shaun Abreu prefer Fair Fares

Free buses? Julie Menin and Shaun Abreu prefer Fair Fares

City Council Speaker Julie Menin used Grok's own R-rated tools against it, in a bid to show just how easy it is to generate fake sexualized content of real people – in this case, herself. More from part two of the City Council's AI hearing today from @ewilssson

Replying to @ewilssson
Menin asked about why Devin Kim, a former SpaceXAI employee, was reportedly fired after bringing up safety concerns. Madrid says she’s not aware of that case.

City council’s AI hearing part two is starting, with a much smaller turnout than the first hearing last week. SpaceXAI’s Gabriela Castillo Madrid is here virtually to testify.

Castillo Madrid has said a few times that SpaceXAI doesn’t release models that they think are unsafe. When talking about sexualized deepfakes, she brings up “bad actors” misusing the product, not necessarily an issue with the AI itself
