Now only paying Grok subscribers can make CSAM. Super cool.
Took them long enough, This was predictable and dangerous. It's a real shame because Elon's goals of allowing an unrestricted AI are somewhat noble even if the execution is haphazard and horrendous. The combination of X's userbase and that technology made this almost inevitable.
Probably one of the most weak ass responses to a crisis ever. How was this not done within hours? Or if they can’t manage that at least within hours of it hitting mainstream news
Presumably in response to https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/01/08/musks-x-coul... and others. I've seen a claim that Spain is referring X for prosecution over this as well.

It's just been restricted to paying customers, and that decision could be driven as much by cost as by outrage.

Edit: may also be linked to people making deepfakes of Renee Good, the woman murdered by US authorities in Minneapolis.

Paid version is worthless. Everything is moderated.
Too late, let's wait for another 120M from EU.

Willing to bet he got threats from Apple and Google (well, Apple at least) that the CSAM app formerly known as Twitter would be removed from the App Store.

More accurate: “After free demo proves demand (in the worst possible way), Grok makes image generation and editing a paid-only feature”.
You cannot generate anything meaningful on the paid version. Everything is moderated. False advertising.
You can’t generate anything meaningful on the paid version either. Naked woman and woman in bikini get blocked like 9/10 times. $30/month. False advertising. USA
