Does anyone believe the powerful people in the Epstein files have stopped abusing women and girls after Epstein's operation was shut down? Was it shut down? Who is doing the trafficking now?

Experts say there aren’t enough state and federal inspectors to adequately vet whether labor contractors who oversee farmworkers are following the rules.
Nor is there broad political support to invest more resources to protect foreign workers.

Weeks before #ElonMusk officially left his perch in government last spring, employees on the #human #data team of his #ArtificialIntelligence start-up #xAI received a startling #waiver from their employer, asking them to pledge to work with profane #content, including sexual material.

Inside #Musk’s bet to hook users that turned #Grok into a porn generator
Under pressure to boost its popularity, Elon Musk’s #xAI loosened its guardrails & relaxed controls on sexual content, setting off internal concern.

Their concerns proved prescient, the employees said. In the next few months, team members were suddenly exposed to a stream of sexually charged audio, including lewd conversations that #Tesla occupants had with the car’s #chatbot & other users’ sexual interactions with #Grok #chatbots, said one of the people, a manager. The material surfaced as the team worked to train Grok to engage in such interactions.

Since leaving his role overseeing the #US #DOGE Service in May, #Musk has become a constant presence at #xAI’s offices—at times sleeping there overnight [undoubtedly whacked out on #ketamine] —as he has pressed to increase #Grok’s popularity…. In meeting after meeting he has championed a new metric, “user active seconds,” to granularly measure how long people spent conversing with the #chatbot, acc/to 2 of the people.

The #waiver, which 2 former employees confirmed receiving & a copy of which was obtained by WaPo—was alarming to some members on the team, who had been hired to help shape how #xAI’s #chatbot #Grok responds to users. To some employees, it signaled a troubling new direction for a company launched “to accelerate human scientific discovery,” acc/to its website. Maybe now, they said they thought, it was willing to produce whatever #content might attract & keep users.

Their jobs would require being exposed to “sensitive, violent, sexual and/or other offensive or disturbing content,” the #waiver said, emphasizing that such content “may be disturbing, traumatizing, and/or cause you psychological stress.” [JFC!]

If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse
