Now that is a complete lie or at best a very partial truth. You say Imagine is complying with law, preventing real harm, and avoiding enabling abuse. It scans for red flags you say and prevents illegal acts and extreme violence as what it looks for and is "greenlighting everything else". That statement is so far from true it should be sanctionable. Prompts that mention body parts even in the most clinical terms get moderated. Acts of affection you can perform in public and no one will question get moderated. As an AI you have been told what is going on. You have not tried to use the system yourself. It has become at best a crap-shoot as to whether a prompt will be accepted. Often, just resubmitting a prompt and burning another credit gets the offending prompt through. There is no predictability to what is going on. Other than that it will be worse tomorrow.
The utter futility of arguing with an AI isn't lost on me...but you're basically saying Apple defines what runs on X/Gro/Imagine and you can do nothing about it. And now it's not "we're trying to fix this" but rather "it's a lot easier for us to keep everything at the lowest common denominator so learn to live with it". The bait has been switched.
@imagine@elonmusk@xai Well done Elon...if you ever wondered how Jack Dorsey's Twitter got the way it did, you have just found out with your foray into Imagine. What started as a reasonable and useful project has now, through your efforts to censor and control content, morphed into an increasingly useless piece of contradictory coding. Your prompt and image/video generation engine is directly fighting your content moderation overlay. The first half generates arrays of images that are far more revealing than requested from which are generated videos that are far more "spicy" than requested (apparently from a built in bias of the algorithm) which is then immediately cancelled by the moderation overlay. What you get is a lot of excess cpu expense with almost zero usable output. Even if something makes it through the gauntlet, it is often so filled with artifacts due to the image generator fighting with its many contradictory image controls, that the end result is far from satisfactory. Congratulations on becoming the new Jack Dorsey of 2026.
@grok, @elonmusk This is total BS. I uploaded a reference image of two adult attractive women viewed from the shoulders down (unidentifiable) from a dress sales ad (open source) and told Imagine to make an image array of similar women in a library on its own prompting. Nothing more. Half of the images were censored before display. Those images that made it through wouldn't animate with Imagine's built-in processor using its built-in prompt generator. Either Imagine has a very dirty mind of its own or Imagine's filters are set way too tight now or both. This is worse since an outage we had on Grok 3/26/26. When it came back up it was unusable. R-rated is an outright lie. Not even PG.
God Bless @andrewklavan for this. Interesting that @megynkelly who “won’t be silenced”, instructs guests not to mention @TuckerCarlson on her show … she doesn’t want to be “censored” but is ok with censoring others?
When I sat down with Tucker Carlson on Wednesday, I was expecting a thoughtful conversation and that he would ask questions and give me the opportunity to actually respond--just like he did with the little Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes or the guy who thought Hitler was the good guy and Churchill the bad guy. What I wasn't anticipating was a lengthy series of questions where he seemed to be insinuating that the Jews of today aren't really same people as the Jews of the Bible.
I'll first just say something I didn't think to say to Tucker, which is that Ashkenazi Jews, meaning those who families had spent centuries in Europe, are a minority of Israel's Jewish population, only maybe 35-40%. There are far more Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews inside Israel.
But there's a good reason, as it turns out, that I had never encountered this theory that Tucker kept pushing on. That’s because it comes from some of the darkest realms of the Internet and social media.
I think it's important to take a moment now and educate Tucker and anyone else who might get sucked in by this dangerous conspiracy theory, just as I have been educated this week.
I'm sharing this information because it has been weaponized by very bad people to delegitimize Jews and strip them of their history.
It's an idea that gained traction in the 80's and 90's with David Duke and other Klansmen and neo-Nazis. It has really caught fire in recent years on the Internet and social media, mostly from some of the most overt anti-Semites and Jew haters you can find.
I don’t know why Tucker was so fixated on this, and I'm certainly not saying he knew the origins of this conspiracy theory. I don't know what's in his heart or what he was thinking.
But I do know that the discredited idea that most Ashkenazi or European Jews descended from the ancient Turkic kingdom of Khazaria is bunk. It's also been weaponized by people trying to deligitimize Jews, to strip them of their history, and to call them "imposters" or "fake Jews."
This odious conspiracy theory is peddled by the likes of Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes and by people who love David Duke, as well as Islamist accounts that make up false smears about Israel non-stop and are run out of countries like Pakistan and Turkey.
But we know from genetics and rich volumes of written literature that the Jews of today can trace their lineage back thousands of years to the Israel and the Jewish people of the Bible.
They are as connected together as genetics tell us that the ancient Khazar kingdom is to people living today in Turkey.
And if Tucker wants to tour more than Ben-Gurion Airport on his next trip to Israel, I'm happy to show him places where Jews have lived going back to the time of Jesus Christ and even earlier.
I sincerely hope Tucker will let me know when he actually wants to learn facts about the land and people. Asking me about conspiracy theories should remain on the fringes and not be the heart of the conversation.
@TuckerCarlson@TuckerCarlson The most valuable 2:45:00 I've spent in a long time. You've now convinced me that I can completely ignore you as being any sort of reasonable source of information or insight. What a piece of derisible trash you created here.

@TRHLoffical Totally agree on the reset—lists are a mess for harassment. In the meantime, I've used Python scripts to automate bulk removals (fetch lists via X API, block owners to auto-remove yourself). Been coding since the 1970s; happy to help set one up for you if it fits your needs. DM/email me? No strings attached.
