Not sure why Microsoft would be fine with the reputational damage of dealing with Elon, but here we are.

Interesting how you put "hamas apologists" and not pro-palestinians next to Zionists. How would you have felt if it was written "pro-palestinains and genocide-apologists"?

[flagged]

Do you know what a "bubble" is? In fact, do you actually know any pro-palestinain people or do you get media that tells you about them? These are not the same thing. Very neat that you included "from the river to the sea" as right alongside rape. Very telling.

PS you can find street interviews of random isreali's where they will straight up tell you they wish all palestinians were killed with very little prompting. But I guess they just don't count huh?

Could say the same about Tesla cars, yet they don't sell that well any more.

Teslas have always been objectively bad cars. Inconsistent panel gaps, bad paint from the factory, poor build quality, etc. The car folks have always known this. It’s taken elons politics for tech folks to realize.

I’ve always disliked their lack of physical buttons and general interior aesthetic.

However, a buddy of mine got T-boned in one by a distracted driver running a light at high speed, and he walked away fine. The car was completely mangled except for passenger space where it held. I’ve not called it a bad car after seeing photos from that.

Lmfao. Why would anyone care about Musk's politics when using Azure + Grok. If it's good for the job, it's good for the job.

Pushing objectively false answers should render an AI doodad bad for the job, no?

Yes.

But that's why I said "if it's good for the job it's good for the job"

If there's something that Grok *positively* does better than other LLMs, why wouldn't you want to use it, because, _boohoo_ Musk bad.

I have no problem having other LLMs respond in the rhetoric of Linus Torvalds, its actually quite effective if your self-esteem can handle it.

Do you ask specifically for Linux or just skeptic/caustic in general?

Specifically for Linus Torvalds, the author or Linux

He has a very distinctive style and large amount of training data from all the reviews and emails he made while collaborating on Linux

And as he manages a huge project that's in development for decades, he has to be very strict about the quality

Because you won't know when it's going to peppering in Holocaust denials in the emails it composes for you.

Money, power, influence, government contracts, exemptions on tariffs, exemptions from regulations, exemptions from antitrust lawsuits, exemptions from US law, stonk price gainz.

It's not good for the job because better tools exist. Yeah, I'm not keen on giving money to billionaires for subpar products, that's why I don't drive a Tesla.

What kind of test is that? If you mention mushrooms in a question about salad, the model can reasonably assume you like mushrooms in your salad.

Mushrooms do not go with strawberries or pineapples in the context of a salad. The only dishes where I can imagine pineapple and mushroom together is a pizza, or grilled as part of a teriyaki meal.

De gustibus non disputandum. Or, in English, "Don't ask AI models what tastes good. It's a waste of time and electricity."
