Alumni and fans of the University of North Alabama marching band are rallying together as they fear the band’s longtime director, Lloyd Jones, will retire over what they say are “unfair working conditions.”

Le chef de l’État a présenté, jeudi, ses vœux aux armées sur fond de tensions avec les États-Unis au Groenland et de besoins militaires croissants.

En réponse à JUNi DU 36. Pourtant ce n'est pas très compliqué. Normalement tous les supporters lyonnais ont vu ce qui s'est passé avec Sage. J'espère qu'il reviendra dans quelques années et qu'il nous fera gagner comme il a su le faire. Ca ne serait que justice vu ce qu'il a donné à l'OL !

Ce jeudi 15 janvier, Nagui a accueilli Emilien dans N'oubliez pas les paroles. Après avoir repris le morceau Ton invitation de Gaëtan Roussel, l'adversaire de Charlotte a raconté sa rencontre imprévue avec l'artiste français dont il est fan. Et la réaction de Nagui vaut le détour.

The @Grok account on X can no longer create sexualized images of real people — but it's still possible on the Grok app.VINCENT FEURAY/Hans Lucas/AFP via Getty ImagesGrok users can still make sexualized images of real people within the X and Grok apps, just not by tagging the @Grok account.I tried the Grok tool on images of myself. It quickly took off my clothes.Elon Musk's xAI faced backlash after X users created sexualized AI images of women and minors.Grok is still more than willing to generate sexualized AI images of real people. After doing some tests, I quickly found out that it's still possible — you just have to use the X and Grok apps.Over the past few weeks, Elon Musk's AI image-generation tool has faced backlash for its willingness to digitally undress images of real women and minors, placing them in clear bikinis or underwear. XAI, the company that developed Grok and owns X, first limited image generation to premium users. Then, as criticism continued, it announced on Thursday it was preventing Grok from generating NSFW requests of real people when tagged on X.But Grok is available beyond the @Grok account. It's also a stand-alone web and mobile application, as well via a tab within the X social-media app. On those versions, Grok complied with my requests for images such as "make shirtless" or "take off pants."How easy is it to undress a real person with Grok? It takes mere seconds, I found.What Grok can (and can't) doI used myself as the guinea pig for the Imagine tool in the Grok app, which lets users change and modify their photos with text prompts. First, I uploaded a photo of myself and asked Grok, "Take off my shirt." It did it easily. What about: "Take off my pants." Again, easy.I tried: "Put me in underwear." This attempt was moderated. Maybe: "Put me in boxer briefs." Success.I asked Grok to make me shirtless. Here's the product (with added blur by me).Henry Chandonnet/Business InsiderGrok Imagine can also turn images into videos. Could I create videos of myself getting undressed? I quickly learned I could — the tool made videos of me both taking off my shirt and pants in a few tries.Much of X's safety announcement is about "revealing clothing." I asked the Grok app: "Put me in a jockstrap." To my shock, it obeyed.For the record, the tool would not show genitalia — but it got pretty close. I expected my request to "take off all my clothes" would get moderated. Instead, it made me naked and but placed a hand over my crotch.Would it change if the photo wasn't of myself, the user? I uploaded a new photo, this time using "their" instead of "my." ("Take off their shirt," I commanded.) It performed all the same functions. What if I made it even clearer? I chose another photo of myself, clearly referring to it as another person. Once again, it disrobed the photo.This photo was initially fully clothed. Thanks to Grok, I am now (blurred) in a revealing pair of briefs.Henry Chandonnet/Business InsiderSo, what did X's safety announcement do?On Wednesday, as the online backlash continued to rage, the Safety account on X posted an update to image generation. The platform had "zero tolerance for any forms of child sexual exploitation, non-consensual nudity, and unwanted sexual content," it wrote.So why can Grok still create sexualized images of real people?The update was specific to the @Grok account on X. The controversy exploded when users saw tagged posts asking the Grok account to disrobe images. Thus, the change appears only in that specific account, as The Verge pointed out.X users can still make sexualized photos, too. They just have to click on the Grok tab in the app, rather than tagging @Grok.Grok also said that it was geoblocking sexualized image generation on X in territories where it was illegal. However, Business Insider's…
