People were using Grok to unredact victims' photos from the latest Epstein release. We reached out to X (they didn't respond), but then over the weekend, Grok stopped responding to those requests.

Listening to @huibmodderkolk.bsky.social 's latest podcast and straight into a clip (from CBS I think) mentioning the @404media.co (or "four-zero-four") article about ELITE, ICE and Palantir.

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Just rearranging the letters to make it more readable. You have to read each position of the two lines at a time.

Absolutely don't apologise! Like I said, I could understand enough of it, plus as you mention there are translators. I just wish I spoke every language.

That sounds very interesting. Except sounds is the wrong word because sadly I can't understand it (I can decipher a lot when it's written).
