alt Hacker News> everything that Grok is accused of is something which you can also trigger in currently available open-weight models (if you know what you're doing)
Well, yes. You can make child pornography with any video-editing software. How is this exoneration?

Well you could not sue the video-editing software for someone making child pornography with it. You would, quite sanely, go after the pedophiles themselves.

We don't go after Adobe for doing that. We go after the person who did it.
I'm not talking about video editing software; that's a different class of software. I'm talking about other generative AI models, which you can download today onto your computer, and have it do the same thing as Grok does.

I don't know; you tell me where I said it was? I'm just stating a fact that Grok isn't unique here, and if you want to ban Grok because of it then you need to also ban open weight models which can do exactly the same thing.
