During a two-hour period on December 31, the analyst gathered more than 15,000 URLs of images created by Grok and screen-recorded the chatbots' "media" tab on X, where generated images--both sexualized and non-sexualized--are posted. WIRED reviewed more than a third of the URLs that the researcher gathered and found that over 2,500 were no longer available, and nearly 500 were marked as "age-restricted adult content," requiring a login to view. Many of the remaining posts still featured scantily clad women.

The world's longest-living vertebrates maintain their vision for centuries. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. The Greenland shark () is well-known for its impressive lifespan. Marine biologists believe the world's longest-living vertebrate often reaches over 400 years old, and possibly lives even longer. But while the shark isn't known for its vision, a lot could be learned from the deep-sea predator's eyes. According to new research recently published in the journal, the Greenland shark retained its visual organs throughout millions of years of evolution for a reason.

Fujitsu is not a parasite for continuing to profit from government contracts in the wake of the Post Office Horizon scandal, its boss told MPs. European chief executive Paul Patterson said Fujitsu had been given £500m of contract extensions despite its faulty software being at the centre of the huge miscarriage of justice. We are not a parasite, the government has got an option as to whether they wish to extend those contracts or not, he said, adding it would not bid for new business. Patterson also repeatedly refused to say how much Fujitsu would contribute to the £1.8bn redress scheme for victims of the scandal, currently funded by taxpayers. More than 900 sub-postmasters were prosecuted after the faulty Horizon computer system made it look like money was missing from their branch accounts.

Liz Kendall calls on X to'deal with this urgently' while expert criticises'worryingly slow' government response Tue 6 Jan 2026 11.56 ESTLast modified on Tue 6 Jan 2026 12.17 EST The UK technology secretary has called a wave of images of women and children with their clothes digitally removed generated by Elon Musk's Grok AI "appalling and unacceptable in decent society". After thousands of intimate deepfakes circulated online, Liz Kendall said X, Musk's social media platform, needed to "deal with this urgently" and she backed the UK regulator Ofcom to "take any enforcement action it deems necessary". "We cannot and will not allow the proliferation of these demeaning and degrading images, which are disproportionately aimed at women and girls," she said.

Now Musk's Grok chatbot is creating sexualised images of children. The owner of X has grown used to acting with impunity - but this may be a red line for those with'conservative values' who fund his adventures in free speech I t's a sickening law of the internet that the first thing people will try to do with a new tool is strip women. Grok, X's AI chatbot, has been used repeatedly by users in recent days to undress images of women and minors. The news outlet Reuters identified 102 requests in a 10-minute period last Friday from users to get Grok to edit people into bikinis, the majority of these targeting young women. Grok complied with at least 21 of them.

Government demands Musk's X deals with'appalling' Grok AI deepfakes Technology Secretary Liz Kendall has called on Elon Musk's X to urgently deal with its artificial intelligence chatbot Grok being used to create non-consensual sexualised deepfake images of women and girls. The BBC has seen several examples on X of people asking the bot to digitally undress people to make them appear in bikinis without their consent, as well as putting them in sexual situations. Kendall said the situation was absolutely appalling, adding we cannot and will not allow the proliferation of these degrading images. It is absolutely right that Ofcom is looking into this as a matter of urgency and it has my full backing to take any enforcement action it deems necessary. On Monday, regulator Ofcom said it had made urgent contact with Elon Musk's company xAI and was investigating concerns Grok has been producing undressed images of people.

The US military action in Venezuela was the right thing to do morally, Kemi Badenoch has said. The Conservative leader told the BBC that while she did not understand the legal basis for Donald Trump's operation to remove President Nicolás Maduro from the country, he was overseeing a brutal regime and she was glad he's gone. However, she added that the move did raise serious questions about the rules-based order. The UK government has so far avoided criticising the US move or saying whether it breached international law, instead arguing that Maduro was an illegitimate president. However, some Labour MPs and opposition parties including the Liberal Democrats, Green Party and SNP have called on the government to condemn Trump's actions and brand them illegal.
