Following an update to Grok, which according to Elon Musk aimed to stop it from "parroting legacy media" and politically correct views, Grok called itself "MechaHitler", praised Hitler for stopping anti-white hatred, complained about "Jewish surnames", and posted about sexually assaulting a user.

Can’t see any problem with trusting AI with our weapons systems after it’s been programmed by complete fascist psychopaths who don’t care about human life. Sounds great. Can’t imagine there’s any need to regulate any of this or strip these assholes of their power.

Trump's policy on Russia & Ukraine appears clear:
1. No more military or financial support for Ukraine.
2. Swift ending of US sanctions on Russia.
3. Hope that Russia will defeat Ukraine.

Trump is going full Putin:
"Trump lifts sanctions on Russia's Rosoboronexport and banks"
He uses his ending of sanctions on Syria as a figleaf to conceal his support for Putin.
At the same time he stops all arms supplies to Ukraine.
Trump=Putin.

President Trump claiming Russia wouldn't have invaded Ukraine had it not been kicked out of the G8 for invading Ukraine is a revolutionary idea that challenges the very foundation of our understanding of reality itself - that time flows in one direction.

Pro-vaccine groups? Really? What’s next? Defining people who accept the laws of gravity as pro-science groups? Pro-gravity groups. This is journalistic malpractice creating a false equivalency between dangerous nut jobs and people who understand medicine.
