"Blame it on the algorithm. That is what Rep. Brad Sherman (D-LA) did, after he was caught looking at naughty pictures of scantily clad women aboard a flight, with the California liberal on Saturday saying it was all the fault of Elon Musk's X force feeding him the photos. This was on Twitter. These pictures came up on For You,' Sherman told Punchbowl News reporter John Bresnahan, referring to X by its old name. I must've looked at more than 1,000 posts."
"That was an interesting claim, considering the For You tab, according to Grok, X's AI model, is primarily based on what you've shown interest in. X has a For You tab for users, showing posts it believes users will enjoy, and a tab dedicated to other users they follow. Bresnahan asked Sherman if he had a problem with pornography and the Congressman denied it. No, I don't have a problem, Sherman said. It's all about the algorithms."
"His defense comes one day after an X account called Dear White Staffers posted several pictures of Sherman looking at porn on his iPad during a flight, according to its caption. That post racked up more than 12.6 million views and was shared more than 5,000 times by Saturday afternoon. Why did California Congressman Brad Sherman feel it was appropriate to look at porn on his iPad during a flight today? His district deserves better representation than this!! #CA32 pic.twitter.com/gAYZ82tyr2 Dear White Staffers (@dearwhitestaff)"
Rep. Brad Sherman said X's algorithm fed him images of scantily clad women while he was on a flight and he viewed more than 1,000 posts. The images appeared in the For You tab, which Grok, X's AI model, tailors to users based on prior interest. Sherman denied having a pornography problem and called the situation about algorithms. An X account, Dear White Staffers, posted the photos, and the post accumulated over 12.6 million views and more than 5,000 shares. The pictures show partially dressed women without explicit nudity, and Sherman admitted looking at women who are not his wife.
