I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.
It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

A new feature on Elon Musk’s X has given deeper insight into the online “America First” movement.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Empty G is a waste of skin, space, and oxygen. The world is a worse piece for her being in it. I wish her obscurity and loneliness, howling unheard into the void, for the rest of her life.
1. Good riddance.
2. I am already seeing people on the left praising her and saying she should join the Democrats. HER ENTIRE RESIGNATION SPEECH WAS DUMPING ON TRANS PEOPLE AND IMMIGRANTS.

At this point it is safe to assume that everyone who has ever voted for Trump was aware that he was a Close Personal Friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and that he partook of Epstein's wares. All of MAGA and the GOP must therefore be painted with the same brush as Trump and Epstein. They all knew.
Trump is demanding that GOP side with him over Epstein's victims, Rep Ansari tells me. She had a harrowing exchange with one victim who recounts how her mom had cancer and he exploited that.
Also note her mockery of network disclaimers on Trump. More like this, Ds:

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
