Other AI companies are hardly paragons of social responsibility but they can and do block what grok is doing, or at least try. It's not some "oh the tech can't stop it" thing. It's a 100% willful choice to enable and participate in people doing crimes with it. No plausible denial of culpability.

I read a passel of books in 2025. I had made a commitment that year to read more fiction. Nonfiction inspires thought, fiction inspires imagination. Here are three novels I won't be forgetting, and will surely re-read. -->

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

Elon Musk’s chatbot has been “undressing” women and children in public. Journalists are letting xAI off the hook by pretending the bot is responsible.

Exclusive: Inaccurate information presented in summaries, Guardian investigation finds
People are being put at risk of harm by false and misleading health information in Google’s artificial intelligence summaries, a Guardian investigation has found.

If ya ask me, they've gotten irresponsible with the 4th down gambles. Georgia may have just sealed its fate, & Bama turned the ball over on downs earlier today during the first half of a then-scoreless game on its own side of the field. They're denying their players opportunities to win.

Going to try something as a new year's resolution: to attempt, on a daily basis, to post a note of praise for something I've read/seen/listened to and liked that day. Not promising I'll do it every single day, but will see how it goes!
