No articles I can find yet but online chatter shows people talking about how tonight Grok is now heavily censored. Won't take uploaded images and put the woman in a bikini, etc. Won't make videos of women undressing into bikinis/underwear etc.
I tested it personally by uploading a pic of a woman and asking it draw her in a bikini and it was moderated. Uploaded to Imagine a woman already in a bikini and it refuses to make a video of literally anything (not even "woman reads a book", how sexist!)- even with no prompt it refuses. Asked it to draw a woman in a bikini and 1 attempt was moderated but another was generated.
All because Elon stuck his dick in crazy.
Most mainstream AI is useless if you need to do anything creative and fun. Try Venice AI for creative fun things.
Grok hasn't been competitive for months now in mainstream AI and has really fallen off. Its image generation is one of the worst.
Everything online is paid for, if you have a decently modern computer, its worth learning offline stuff like comfyui is pretty good for image/video generation stuff.
Apparently you can even download some offline LLM's and load them into something like lm studio, but I havent actually got that to work yet. When I tried the install for lllama on facehugging I think its called, it was 200 gigs and I cancelled thinking I screwed something up, but no I think thats what it takes to have a actual "offline" llm experience. When using something like chatgpt's model in the lm studio, its not running the entire model, its just running the weights and input that feed into it, which is handy if you dont want to login/pay to use/store chatgpt chats, but you can only input/output so much before you run out of resources. I read recently chatgpt is going to start putting in ads into their chats and I wont be using it anymore at that point.
I really hate how everything is censored too. Ive been thinking about trying to use veracrypt to store some important documents(like the work stuff for example), but in the end I decided its to important I cant risk a random muon coming through and locking the entire contents. Just easier to offline it.
Chatgpt absolutely refused to elaborate on veracrypt support, no amount of rephrasing would make it talk, the government must really hate that shit.
This is one of the actual use cases for rar archives. A random bit flip in a zip can render every file in the archive beyond that point unrecoverable. With rar, the same damage will only ruin one file and the rest can be recovered. Furthermore, you can make rars with a 'recovery record', which is essentially parity data included in the archive itself which can seamlessly recover from bit rot like this in exchange for a few percent larger archive.
Slap on a decent password and a rar archive might be just the thing for your needs.
