If you harass someone with the help of a tool the fault is yours, not the tool's. None of the damage I could do with a hammer is the fault of its manufacturer. Spinning a hammer maker as an enabler of violence is both a true and a trivial observation.

Re: Grok is enabling mass sexual harassment on Twitter
#42Anyone still using Twitter? Even before the AI rage, I stopped looking at it - in part because of a certain crazy techbro, but also because of the forced log-in-to-read. I am never going to log in there again, so this is now a walled-off garden to me.
I mostly switched to Bluesky, but I still check in when "major events" happen.
For X mostly seems unchanged - celebs, govs, officials, businesses are still using this as key platform.
Yes there is lots of far right garbage too, but at least anti-seed oil bros don’t make me want reach for eye bleach.

This is damage-as-a-service, free of charge and as anonymous as your account, plus automatic distribution of the results to the victim and for all to see.

Right, who is swinging the hammer? Is it the user that asks for it to be swung or is it the thing that responds by swinging?

Do we really need the bad analogy at all?
But if someone uses one, it can make sense to illustrate that it doesn't apply as cleanly as they think.

I'm personally fucking sick of sexual abuse being treated just like something that every woman in society just needs to deal with. "Oh, we put the revenge porn machine right in front of everybody and made a big red button for you to push" is horrible. But at least we should be screaming from the rooftops about every hideous person using this machine. Every single one of their friends should leave them.
