Elon Musk’s company xAI has sued Minnesota over the state’s first-in-the-nation law that bans “nudification” technology on websites and apps, potentially providing a test for how far states can go in constitutionally regulating the use of artificial intelligence.
Musk’s company sued Monday in federal court, days before the law is set to take effect Saturday and make Minnesota the first state to try to outlaw the increasingly proliferating technology that lets people use AI to to create fake nude images of real people. The law was signed in May.
In the 38-page lawsuit, xAI — whose AI model chatbot and image generator Grok is available on the social media platform known as X, formerly Twitter, and elsewhere — said it does not contest the state’s interest in banning the distribution of AI-generated nude images of real people without their consent. But it said Minnesota’s law “extends far beyond that goal,” banning many constitutionally protected images and video and subjecting the company to a penalty of $500,000 per violation.
Minnesota is also the state leading the charge and trying to ban Polymarket and similar predatory gambling websites.
Polymarket is illegal in the United States under federal law
Not anymore since trump jr invested in it and got an advisory seat.
why does it still operates?
bribing the right people and their children, future markets “is not” gambling - obscuring language
It is legal in other countries.
US citizens illegally access it with VPNs
I think that changed recently.
I just searched “polymarket” in the U. S. and it came up with the correct site and a sign up button. I know I heard something about it on NPR a few weeks ago, so I’m pretty sure it’s legal in the U. S.
Judge just took down that law
The pedo who owns a tool to render people naked without their knowledge or consent or regard to their age wants to keep running his revenge porn simulacrum machine?
Also, it’s really hard to tell if a person is over 18 from one picture. He might have to shut that machine off if the law says he can’t render people who aren’t adults naked, even though there are plenty of people who are adults and don’t want to be made naked by a machine.
That is some hardcore pedo shit right there. What the fuck?
Free speech doesn’t extend past taking someone else’s rights away, such as the right to privacy or freedom from harassment.
lawfare so you can have an ai that produced pedo porn
how does no one shoot that fat fuck
Isn’t that like Pablo Escobar suing the government for making cocaine illegal?
You shouldn’t be able to buy your way out of a law.
It’s worked for him so far.
If AI art can’t be copyrighted, can similar arguments be used to show that it can’t be protected speech because it didn’t come from a person?
Most punchable face ever.
I think I’d personally put Stephen Miller and Itamar Ben-Gvir above Elongated Muskrat.
“And what did your father do?”
“He fought for the rights of AI companies to produce fake nudes for perverts and losers, and to make the Internet (and planet) a worse place.”
Fighting for an imaginary right to creep and bare arse.
Have we tried collectively posting Elon musk nudes under his posts, to see how he likes it?
Ew.
Let’s hope the ban won’t result in even more privacy trespassing issues, and only improve the safety of children, and privacy of everyone…
Unfortunately, there are ineffably sorrowful services already existing… that are based on the technology mentioned specifically…
