Davin and Pip tease a segment on Elon Musk's AI Grok creating nonconsensual deepfakes, sparking curiosity about the scandal.

1. Davin's Den records on January 31, 2026, hosted by Davin Rosenblatt with co-host Pip Helix, covering Grok deepfakes, a childhood psychiatric evaluation, new 2026 laws, and the ongoing scammer series. 2. Davin Rosenblatt hosts; Pip Helix provides commentary throughout; Joe is not present in this episode. 3. The episode has four distinct segments: an AI/deepfake news discussion, the psychiatric evaluation reading, new 2026 laws, and the scamming scammers segment with a new scammer named Sophia. 4. An NBC News segment reports Grok generated nonconsensual sexualized deepfakes at over a dozen per minute, with 50% of all images between December 25 and January 1 being nonconsensual, targeting primarily women. 5. Ashley St. Claire, a content creator who has a child with Elon Musk, says she found hundreds of explicit AI-generated images of herself on the platform. 6. UK regulator Ofcom launched an investigation that could result in a fine of up to 10% of X's worldwide revenue, approximately 18 million pounds or more, whichever is greater. 7. Davin and Pip debate whether completely fabricated AI-generated child imagery — not involving real people — should be treated differently from deepfakes of real individuals, acknowledging they would want studies on whether access increases or decreases real-world offending. 8. Davin reads from a 1985 fifth-grade neuropsychiatric evaluation discovered while cleaning out his parents' house, which he says he never read before. 9. The evaluation notes his father, age 39, is a CPA with no learning or behavioral history; his mother, age 37, had two miscarriages before Davin's birth and was already dealing with arthritis. 10. The evaluation describes young Davin as 'somewhat short and heavy set' with 'a slight space between his two front teeth' before calling him 'a generally attractive, appealing young boy.' 11. Both hosts find the phrase 'generally attractive young boy' in a medical evaluation deeply uncomfortable, with Pip asking whether equivalent language would appear in an evaluation of a young girl. 12. A Virginia law limits children under 16 to one hour per day per social media platform unless parents allow more; Davin supports the goal but questions enforceability. 13. Tennessee will begin a public database tracking repeat domestic violence offenders; Davin supports this strongly and suggests it should be a federal database. 14. California is expanding its plastic bag ban; Davin supports the environmental goal but argues biodegradable alternatives need to be cheaper, citing cat litter disposal as the primary use case for plastic bags. 15. The Wyoming non-citizen driver's license law causes Davin to reverse his initial position: he says he would have supported it in a different political context but now worries about abuse given what is happening in Minnesota and Portland. 16. Texas's Responsible Artificial Intelligence Governance Act bans AI development intended to encourage self-harm or crimes, prohibits biometric tracking by the government, and establishes a regulatory council — which Davin praises as unusually progressive for Texas. 17. In the scamming scammers segment, Sophia is a different type of scammer than Anna — she wants Fake Davin to register on a fake investment/job site rather than developing a romantic relationship. 18. Davin derails Sophia's investment pitch by repeatedly asking 'What's your favorite position?' while Sophia responds with phone brand recommendations — Vivo, Oppo, and iPhone 11 Pro Max — without apparently addressing his question. 19. The tone is loose and conversational, with Davin and Pip frequently going off-script into extended riffs, most notably on the psychiatric evaluation language. 20. Listeners interested in AI ethics, observational comedy, and the absurdity of online scam scripts will find the episode engaging; listeners seeking focused topical depth on any one subject may be frustrated by the rapid topic switching.
