People who buy into Grok are willingly submitting themselves to the far-right propaganda machine. I’m sure it’s nice and tidied up for release, but there is zero chance that Musk will not use this tool to push his ideological agenda given its reach and impact.

Was Hitler mentioned yet?

So the Rust code it generates for me has a right-of-centre bias?

Seems like the opinion of someone who doesn't know that OpenAI cloned Anthropic's innovations of artifacts and computer use with their "canvas" and "operator".

and Gemini's Deep Research

(forgot to plug their interview https://latent.space/p/gdr)

What's wrong with DOGE? How is eliminating bureaucracy/spending a bad thing? This has been done about 100 years ago, research on what happened after. It feels like people that scream the loudest are the ones leaching from the system.

There's nothing wrong with it. Our current deficit is increasing something like 1 trillion every 3 months. Getting creative to reduce government spending seems necessary at this point.

All the hysteria over this is just partisan politics as usual.

We have a mechanism for that: it's called congress. DOGE is an executive abuse of power that's resulting in national security critical roles being fired and then attempted to be rehired because they're so incompetent.

Doge disrupts everything except for spending: https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2025/02/12/e...

stop falling for branding and actually concentrate on the numbers: spending is going up, not down, and only touching entitlement programs, the military, or offsetting monetary loosening (via debt interest) will change that.

What happens when Congress is asleep at the wheel or in on the take?

I work, and the fact that my tax money is going into a black hole makes my blood boil. God bless Musk and DOGE for what they do. Here is just one headline from today, The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Monday revealed its finding that $4.7 trillion in disbursements by the US Treasury are "almost impossible" to trace, thanks to a rampant disregard for the basic accounting practice of using…

Will you go on the record and say that $4.7T in a year is fraudulent or misspent? I want to be crystal clear with what you're insinuating, because that's a massive amount of money, easily the biggest fraud of all time by a factor of almost 30.

To put it this way: after seeing examples of how a LLM with similar capabilities to state-of-the-art ones can be built with 20 times less money, we now have proof that the same can be done with 20 times more money as well!

There was this joke about rich Russians that I heard maybe 25 years ago.

Two rich Russian guys meet and one brags about his new necktie. "Look at this, I paid $500 for it." The other rich Russian guy replies: "Well, that is quite nice, but you have to take better care of your money. I have seen that same necktie just yesterday in another shop for $1000."
