I've said this before, but being a billionaire is like having super powers. And being a redpilled billionaire is like being a super villain. It's sad how much of insecure narcissist Musk is, but also how scary it is that he can force his whims onto the other six billion of us.
I’ve said this before and I’m far from the first: It’s not the obvious LOLworthy stuff; it’s the stuff that looks like it could be reasonable. Try asking AI run by a billionaire whether tax cuts pay for themselves. If it gives you the honest answer (they don’t), wait a week. It’ll change its “mind.”
Even if AI were unbiased, it would still lack the discernment to reliably tell users which information is plausibly correct and which isn't. People assume way too much of these clients. They're iterative tools, and in the wrong hands, they easily can be manipulated for nefarious purposes.
We humans have this thing called confirmation bias, which makes us tend to seek out sources that confirm our beliefs and ignore sources that contradict us. For White supremacists, this Grok shit must seem like a gift from God (or a gift from Musk, which is probably the same thing to them) because they get the affirmation they so desperately need, but normal people aren't going to Grok when they can go to AI bots that respond to questions about baseball stats with answers about baseball stats instead of rants about White Genocide.
And that takes me back to the question I keep bringing up here (sorry about that) which is: How much is this actually persuasive to people not already in the cult, and how much is it just creating a bubble-world so a despised minority can imagine they're actually the majority?

Doesn't Grok's description of Musk just show what a complete joke this guy is?

Well, some of my students think it's good enough to do all their homework.

Brilliant as always, thank you.
Turns out the truth is leftist. No wonder our tech oligarchs are so keen to shift their AI apparatchiks to the right.
How about an article on how to avoid exposing ourselves to this crap? That would be useful.
