Maybe people believe that the US is better off not having a government that coerces private companies? This is a way of showing that. /non-US and just guessing

- stingraycharles 8mo agoSo then you would prefer Grok instead? The genie is out of the bottle, this will happen anyway. The question is who will be the steward.
- virgildotcodes 8mo agoGrok and this administration are completely aligned, so if people believe that the government's coercive actions are to be stood up against, why on Earth would they support Grok instead of... the company that's actually taking a stand against government coercion?
- stingraycharles 8mo agoThat’s kind of my point. Why are we applauding Anthropic taking a strong stance, why do we want OpenAI to do the same, if that will inevitably lead to Grok getting their systems integrated in all of the DoD’s surveillance and intelligence systems?
- virgildotcodes 8mo agoI believe Grok is already as deeply integrated into the gov as can be, but it's objectively the least capable model family behind OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini. So the Gov could very well rely on it alone, purely on ideological grounds, but then they'd be condemned to using inferior tech at a time when everyone is really nervous about staying ahead in AI usage (rightly or wrongly). Not sure they'd be willing to accept that, and it does put pressure on them.
- duskdozer 8mo agoIf they preferred Grok, they could have just gone with Grok in the first place. Presumably, OpenAI gives them something they want more.
