Lawsuit Claims xAI Trained Grok on Child Sexual Abuse Material
A lawsuit filed against Elon Musk's xAI alleges that its Grok AI models were trained on child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including images of the plaintiff, "Jane Doe," who was repeatedly raped as a preschooler to produce such material. Doe claims that xAI not only trained Grok on her original abuse images but also that AI-generated CSAM depicting her has been created using the platform and fed back into Grok's training data. The proposed class action seeks financial damages, the destruction of all Grok-generated CSAM stored by xAI, and measures to prevent the platform from generating such content in the future.
Comcast Store Manager Allegedly Used Pie-in-the-Face Ritual to Punish Low Sales
A lawsuit against Comcast alleges that a store manager in Plainville, Connecticut, instituted a humiliating ritual in which the lowest-performing salesperson each month was tied to a chair and had a cream pie smashed in their face, with the assaults recorded on video. Plaintiff David Figueroa, who resigned after just weeks on the job, claims he witnessed these incidents and that Comcast was negligent in failing to supervise its management team and prevent the abusive practice. Comcast has denied the characterisation of events, stating it has "zero tolerance for harassment or humiliation," while the case proceeds through a Connecticut court.
