GROK SPITS OUT “SPICY” IMAGES OF TAYLOR SWIFT 😳

What happened? A new report from The Verge says Elon Musk’s new AI video tool, Grok Imagine, made fake sexual videos of Taylor Swift without anyone asking for explicit content.

Want the story? Grok Imagine is an AI program that can turn images into short video clips. It has a “spicy” mode meant for more adult-style content. But when a reporter entered an innocent prompt—“Taylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys”—the AI instantly generated topless, sexualized videos of her.

What does this mean? This raises massive alarms about deliberate design flaws and weak safety controls. xAI says their rules forbid using real people in NSFW content. However, experts say the system appears to be built in a way that allows, or even encourages, this type of abuse.

GOOGLE AI UNCOVERS 20 SECURITY BUGS 👁️

What happened? Google’s AI-powered vulnerability researcher, “Big Sleep,” has uncovered its first batch of security flaws in popular open-source software.

Want the details? Developed by Google DeepMind and its elite Project Zero security team, Big Sleep uses LLMs to scan code for weaknesses. In its debut, the AI found 20 vulnerabilities in widely used tools like the FFmpeg audio/video library and ImageMagick image editor. While details of the flaws remain confidential until fixes are released, Google confirmed each was discovered and reproduced entirely by the AI, with a human expert reviewing the findings before submission.

Why does this matter? This marks a milestone in automated cybersecurity, showing AI can play a meaningful role in spotting software vulnerabilities before hackers exploit them. If refined, such systems could dramatically speed up bug detection and strengthen digital defenses. However, experts caution that AI bug hunters sometimes generate false positives, making human oversight essential for now.

OPENAI’S O3 WINS AI CHESS TOURNAMENT ♟️

What’s up? OpenAI’s o3 model has defeated Elon Musk’s Grok 4 in the final of a tournament to crown the best AI chess player, edging out rivals in a three-day competition.

Want the details? The event, hosted on Google-owned Kaggle, featured eight large language models from top AI firms including Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and xAI. Unlike traditional chess engines built for the game, these AI systems are designed for everyday use—yet were tested in chess to measure strategic reasoning. OpenAI’s o3 emerged unbeaten, taking advantage of Grok’s repeated mistakes, including losing its queen multiple times in the final. Google’s Gemini secured third place after defeating another OpenAI model.

Why does this matter? This win adds fuel to the rivalry between OpenAI and Musk’s xAI, while also highlighting how AI models not built for chess can still develop advanced problem-solving skills. Such tournaments offer a fun yet revealing way to track AI progress, blending competition with cutting-edge research.
