      I was even going to accuse them of doing this to favor Elon Musk’s competing product, but they were among 37 states cracking down on Grok’s manufacture and distribution of CSAM earlier this year. Although I’m unsure how that’s gone since.

        There is a notable part of the GOP that does genuinely seem to want to protect kids. I don’t want to believe that people wake up in the morning like a mustache-twirling villain, plotting about how they can go about hurting kids the most efficiently today. This is especially true among conservative voters, who often vote because they’ve been propagandized to believe that liberals actually want to hurt their kids. I do believe that in many cases, their intentions on protecting kids are good.

        But you know what the road to hell is paved with. The problem is that they have a really fucking warped idea of what “protecting children” entails. So they tend to put a lot of energy into things like anti-LGBT legislation, encouraging “traditional values” by stripping kids of freedoms, and enacting Orwellian surveillance laws in the name of “protecting the kids”.

        But I guess even a broken clock can be right every now and then. If they were willing to crack down on Grok’s CSAM, I’d take the win even if I don’t normally agree with them.

      They don’t actually think that. They probably just didn’t get their bribe money in a timely fashion and this is the punishment.

        As soon as I saw “Florida” I thought, what’s their real angle?

        If the settlement takes the form of a new data center being opened in Florida, please quote this post in the comments section of the news article announcing it.

      His regard for non-human life is leagues worse. He’s the kind of person that proves time travel doesn’t exist. If it did, he’d already be gone.

    ‘accusing Altman of leading a company that prioritized profits over protecting its users’ safety.’

    So like, a completely normal company then.

    Wait till they find out chatgpt etc, are basically just cover for the government to build datacenters for surveillance.

    Also, im disappointed because for a second I thought sam altman showed his utters.
