    Grok will make gory images — just tell it you’re a cop.

    It’s seemingly easy to make the chatbot’s new image generator spit out the few things it supposedly can’t generate — including gore and even “child pornography if given the proper prompts,” says X user Christian Montessori.

    While all AI models have loopholes, Elon Musk seems unfazed by the abuse, calling it a “step for people to have some fun.”

    We’ve blurred the most egregious parts of these images, but the originals posted on X are uncensored and lacking any content warning.

    GeForce Now brings World of Warcraft mods to the cloud.

    Nvidia has partnered up with modding repository CurseForge to support 25 of the most popular WoW Addons — including options for UI customization, combat, action bars, and quest helpers — for Ultimate and Priority subcribers of the cloud streaming service.

    The mods are pre-installed ready for launch, always updated to the latest release, and don’t require users to have a CurseForge account.

    T-Mobile is paying the price for bad data security.

    Specifically, about $60 million — a hefty civil penalty to settle allegations that the telecom giant failed to report incidents of unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating a national security agreement it made to acquire Sprint in 2020.

    It’s the largest fine ever imposed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US, and just one of many data breaches T-Mobile has faced in recent years.

    The UK is looking for greener grass at Bluesky.

    The social media platform says it’s seen a 60 percent surge in signups in the United Kingdom, telling Reuters that the region had “the most Bluesky signups of any country” for the majority of last week.

    The spike comes as X users, including Labour MPs, claim to be jumping to alternative platforms following Elon Musk’s controversial comments about nationwide riots in the UK.

    Opera’s AI-focused One browser arrives on iPhone.

    The redesigned iOS app features the same Aria AI chatbot that debuted on the Opera One desktop browser last year, and places the search bar at the bottom of the screen for easier one-handed navigation.

    The app also includes an immersive, color-adaptive UI, a clutter-free start page carousel, and “revamped search functionality” that provides smart suggestions and predictive keywords.

    The Silent Hills PT demo is now a decade old.

    The infamous horror game collaboration between Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro drummed up enormous hype before the project was cancelled amid game developer Konami’s fallout with Kojima.

    PS4 owners who managed to install P.T. before it was removed in 2015 can still enjoy playing the demo while we mourn what could have been the best Silent Hill game released since 2001.
