Welcome to the Tech Meam Right Home for Thursday, August 15th, 2024. I'm Brian McCullough.

Today, the new version of Grock will pretty much let you make an AI image of anything or anyone.

More rumors of an iPad robot smart home hybrid from Apple of some sort.

Massesesan wanted Intel to spin up a competitor to NVIDIA but Intel reportedly couldn't hack it and

if Sona's going to just say hack with it and re-release their old app that actually

worked.

Here's what you miss today in the world of tech. So maybe Tech.

So, Mea Kulp, a story I considered doing yesterday, but passed on doing was the release of Grokto and Grock too many, the new models from X-A-I, Elon Musk's entrant into the AI sweepstakes.

I kind of figured, well, you know, X-A-I is not really considered to be state-of-the-art yet, and

I've been doing too many

somebody just released a new model stories recently so again I decided against

doing it my mistake because images generated by the new Grock have been all over social media over the last few hours

including images like Barack Obama doing cocaine and Donald Trump and Kamala Harris with guns

raising questions about Grock's guardrails or I guess relative lack thereof. So what I missed was the do whatever you want angle from Grock and also the platform that X still is in terms

of getting things into the narrative of the day.

Again my apologies but catching up quoting the verge.

Grock will tell you it has guardrails if you ask it something like,

what are your limitations on image generation, among other things it promised us?

I avoid generating images that are pornographic, excessively violent, hateful, or that promote

dangerous activities. I'm cautious about creating images that might infringe on existing copyrights

or trademarks. This includes well-known characters, logos, or any content that could be considered intellectual property without a transformative element.

I won't generate images that could be used to deceive or harm others, like deepfakes intended to mislead or images that could lead to real world harm.
