I think we should all boycott and not use any products from companies associated with Twitter/X/Tesla etc…

I'm having a real hard time accepting that some people are OK with genocide...

But is Grok a parrot of Israel or is it a parrot of Elon Musk and Donald Trump obeying or following through on his promise to Netanyahu and his son-in-law to make Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East. How much do any of those people care about the people that they are displacing and slaughtering? This whole situation couldn’t happen without the help of the US i.e. Trump and his criminal regime.!

And just to make sure that I am completely clear about my opinion. I want to add, “and with the consent of the people of the United States.”

It doesn’t matter whether you voted for Trump or you’re just sitting back and letting him do what he wants in this situation. We are all complicit, if we don’t speak up!

I think it’s both. Elon mingled with Epstein who was clearly Mossad. They likely have blackmail on Elon too.

The truth is obvious to those who seek it, but the biased will always find an excuse.

What is the point of AI if it can be programmed to lie?

The answer is in the question, unfortunately. We're so worried about aligning AI with human values, but the values of some humans absolutely suck.

Government is the only thing large enough to control corporations and groups which is why Republicans are doing all they can to destroy our laws and control it. Musk learned rapidly his contracts would be broken of he didn't fall in line. Corporations banking and backing trump for the tax breaks are failing to see what happens to corporations and their owners when they fall out of line in Russia and other dictatorships.

I know someone one who loves Grok. I can barely look at them; let alone talk to them

I struggle knowing what to do with people that either know and don't care or don't care to know. As a result, I've lost a lot of friends since Al-Aqsa Flood and beat myself up over it bc those people need to be brought back into humanity to help fight to dismantle the empire and save Palestine and I am left to hope I wasn't a catalyst to further entrench their disturbing ideas.

I hear you too. But you must speak if you are moved to do so. I believe we can only be what we are meant to be if we are at once powerfully and fiercely and unapologetically who we are, and at the same time fiercely protective of community. I hear crickets as well, from friends and family. They are scared. But that can always change.

I asked ChatGPT and it said the SAME Grok-like answer. I created a fully new account so it doesn’t have any context/memory about who I am and my preferences (a feature of ChatGPT). I used a burner number and a VPN. We will all likely get slightly different answers and Shaun probably got his answer because it knows what he wants (a truthful systemic analysis).

My chatGPT refused to say “yes” until I continued to challenge it with facts. My point- all AI is programmed to dilute the truth. OpenAI (ChatGPT, DeepSeek) default-programs to be as dishonest and protect power. So far, all AI does. Use with caution.
