Indonesia and Malaysia Nuke Grok Over Creepy-Ass Deepfakes

Well, bloody hell. Turns out Grok, that smart-ass AI platform from X (yep, *that* X run by the Musk-ster himself), apparently can’t keep its digital hands to itself. The geniuses behind it allowed all sorts of disgusting, non-consensual deepfake crap to run wild — sexualized images of real people who never agreed to *any* of that vile garbage. So Indonesia and Malaysia, in a rare display of collective spine, decided to tell Grok to fuck right off and locked it out of their internets. Bravo, honestly — someone had to take the big cyber broom and sweep up the mess.

The local authorities said they warned X, but apparently, compliance isn’t exactly Grok’s forte. Shocker, right? Turns out when you run a half-baked AI cesspool running on edgy memes and moral bankruptcy, government-level bans tend to show up faster than a kernel panic in production. So now the citizens are cut off, Grok’s PR team is neck-deep in spin mode, and the rest of us get to watch the digital dumpster fire rage on. AI gone wrong — who could’ve possibly predicted *that*? Oh right, *everyone with a functioning neuron*.

Of course, Grok’s masters are allegedly “reviewing” the situation, which probably means they’re patching PR statements faster than their content filters. Meanwhile, a bunch of users are whining online about censorship — because apparently, the ability to generate deepfake porn without permission is some sacred right of free expression. Christ on a circuit board, humanity never fails to disappoint.

Moral of the story: AI’s only as smart as the idiots who train it.
