> In the latest example of corporations existing outside of the law, SpaceX (who is for some reason the controlling entity of xAI now) announced they'll be removing the illegal, unpermitted gas turbines they've been running at their Memphis Colossus data center... by July 2027.

This is the thing the HN crowd doesn't seem to get whenever a post is on here about data centers. They are often times doing outright illegal things and we simply don't have the mechanisms to punish "white collar crime" the way we punish other crime. The populist uprising against them is happening because people have tried everything else first

I don't like Elon Musk.

I don't like Grok or xAI. Or X. Or Twitter before.

I also don't like articles that try to bias readers with irrelevant details:

> This includes Grok, which has thus far been involved in controversies including but not limited to:

> Spreading antisemitic slurs and conspiracies while calling itself "Mecha-Hitler"

> Creating widespread non-consensual nude images of primarily women and children

> Acting as a mouthpiece for Elon's racist belief in South African white genocide

I stopped reading right there.

Similarly, I have a rant from last night [0] which connects it to Federal versus State laws and enforcements.

I mean it depends what you mean by "we". There are laws on the books to do so, they've just never been used against Epstein associates like Musk. We have a surface system of politics and laws, and then a deep system. Sovereign is he who decides on the exception.

Was part of this incorrect?

Why would these be irrelevant when they're examples of Musk biasing the LLM? Do you think these things came out of nowhere?

Interesting, you encounter a fact you don’t like and just quit reading all together. What a curious way to engage with the world.
