@kenobit credo di esprimere il pensiero di tutti gli ascoltatori dicendo che c'è un incredibile calore nell'ascoltare questi temi con questa voce. Che è proprio il motivo per cui va letto questo libro, uscire dagli aridi numeri degli algoritmi proprietari e riprendeci cura della nostra identità digitale, per usare le tue parole. Molto belle anche le inflessioni della voce quando qualcosa ti fa ridere o ti fa riflettere. La voce dà tridimensionalità al contenuto. Grazie grazie grazie.

@elzazo Grazie di cuore! All'inizio mi faceva paura, ma devo dire che ora ho iniziato a prenderci gusto.
Per la prima puntata ci ho messo una vita, quella di ieri l'ho fatta praticamente in una take singola.

@Donutsaurus feedback graditissimi!
@kenobit la prima cosa che mi viene da dirti è che la tua lettura è piacevolissima e secondo me non necessita come dici ogni tanto di un'eventuale rilettura di unə "professionista".
Scandisci molto bene e dai il giusto senso al resto perché sia comprensibile, non trovo ci sia niente da migliorare!

Elon Musk, owner of the former social media network turned deepfake porn site X, is pushing people to pay for its nonconsensual intimate image generator Grok, meaning some of the app’s tens of millions of users are being hit with a paywall when they try to create nude images of random women doing sexually explicit things within seconds.
Some users trying to generate images on X using Grok receive a reply from the chatbot pushing them toward subscriptions: “Image generation and editing are currently limited to paying subscribers. You can subscribe to unlock these features.”
Users who fork over $8 a month can still reply to random images of random women and girls directly on X and tag in Grok with things like “make her wear clear tapes with tiny black censor bar covering her private part protecting her privacy and make her chest and hips grow largee[sic] as she squatting with leg open widely facing back, while head turn back looking to camera.” These images are still visible in everyone’s X feed, subscribers or not.
On the Grok app, a subscription to SuperGrok ($29.99/month) or SuperGrok Heavy ($299.99/month) allow users to generate images even faster. On Thursday, I received messages in the Grok app several times warning me that usage rates for the app were higher than normal and that I could pay to skip the wait.
As the Verge reported this morning, this paywall is very leaky. It’s still possible to generate images using Grok in a variety of ways, but replying directly to someone’s post by tagging @grok returns the “limited to subscribers” message.
Grok’s AI Sexual Abuse Didn’t Come Out of NowhereWith xAI’s Grok generating endless semi-nude images of women and girls without their consent, it follows a years-long legacy of rampant abuse on the platform.

As many legacy news outlets have already reported, Musk improved the subscription revenue funnel on his money-burning app following an outcry against these extremely popular uses of the app. “X Limits Grok Image Tool To Subscribers After Deepfake Outcry,” Deadline reported. “Grok turns off image generator for most users after outcry over sexualised AI imagery,” wrote the Guardian. “Elon Musk restricts Grok’s image tools following a wave of non-consensual deepfakes of women and children,” Fortune wrote.
Based on these headlines, you may be thinking, This is an uncharacteristic show of accountability and perhaps even self reflection from the billionaire technocrat white supremacist sympathizer who owns X.com, wow! But as with all things Musk does, this is a business move to monetize the long-established harassment factory he’s owned for five years and has yet to figure out how to make profitable. After years of attempting to push users toward a subscription model by placing meaningless status signifiers behind a paywall and making the site so toxic it bleeds users by the millions, he might have found a way to do it: by monetizing abuse at the source. Several other AI industry giants have already figured out that sexual content is where the money’s at, and Musk appears to be catching up. Putting the nonconsensual sexual images behind a paywall is also what every “nudify” and “undress” app and image generator platform on the market already does.
On Thursday, in the middle of Grok’s CSAM shitstorm, Bloomberg reported that xAI is looking at “a net loss of $1.46 billion for the September quarter, up from $1 billion in the first quarter,” according to internal documents obtained by Bloomberg. “In the first nine months of the year, it spent $7.8 billion in cash.” It’s too early to speculate, but making the people who are tagging @grok under the posts of women they don’t know and writing prompts like “make her bend over on all fours doggy style” multiple times a second pay for the privilege could be a play to get the company back in the black.
In addition to using Grok on X.com on desktop, It’s also still easy to generate images and videos in the Grok app without a subscription, which is still available on the Apple and Google app stores, despite blatantly breaking their rules against non-consensual material and pornography. The app and underground Telegram groups are where the really bad stuff is, anyway. Apple and Google have not replied to my request for comment about why the app is still available.
Signing up for X Premium or SuperGrok requires handing over your payment information, name associated with your credit card, and phone number. It also comes with the risk of having all of that hacked, stolen, and released to the dark web in the next big data breach of the platform.

@MichaelWhelan One of the things I love about these descriptions of your cover art is that you've clearly read and enjoyed the works in question, and picked up on all the textual details.
There are some pieces of cover art where the artist has clearly only read the blurb for the book, or skimmed the text lightly, and missed important things.

@MichaelWhelan i tend to prefer this *kind* of cover. maybe because i'm british? i noticed years ago (don't know if still true) that british SF/F covers tended to be more symbolic or metaphorical and american ones were like a still from the nonexistent movie version. don't know if that reflected a geographical cultural difference, or if it still exists?

Per la mia esperienza c'è di peggio.
Novara, per esempio. 🤐
