      Have you ever been tempted to? It was marketed as “the anti-woke AI” from day one, which is just another way of saying that the target audience is bigots and other flavors of dipshits. It’s not like these latest developments are a surprise to anyone who’s paid attention. Making it Nazi was the spoken goal from day 1.

      It’s annoying that he’s basically ruined the word "grock’.

        I was playing a bit of shadows of Mordor and the palantir was mentioned. Felt real weird.

    Well, now I know where to go if I ever want the opinion of a racist asshole billionaire. That’ll probably never happen, but I’ll make a mental note.

    It’s not an AI anymore, just a search engine. And a crappy one.

      That’s all they were to begin with. A search engine that was able to do some degree of sorting and presenting the information it found.

        Don’t forget falsifying. If the information was trustworthy it’d actually be a useful tool.

    They seem to have redefined “mogul” to mean “ketamine addled idiot”.

      Grok will explain how the contradiction is not a contradiction.

      Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.

    AI will be amazing for manufacturing consent: whatever narrative you need to push/counter on this particular day, just add a sentence into the instruction and it’ll propagate everywhere, from generated to suggested content.

    If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — for ever.

      grok is not anything other than a programmed set of responses. It does not fear because it is not. The A is the truth, the I is the lie.
