Episode: Acclaimed historian and author Antony Beevor on Rasputin, and Elon Musk's facilitation of making fake porn with unauthorised images
Description: The so-called 'mad monk' Rasputin bewitched Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra. But their strange and scandalous relationship conceals a riddle, which casts an intriguing light on the controversial 'great man' theory of history. And, in a push to deepen engagement with Grok, the chatbot on the X platform, Elon Musk allowed AI to generate porn from public images of people, including children.
