Grok cannot apologise, but copies sequences that are statistically similar to common phrases we think of as "apologies," but Grok cannot actually apologise because Grok isn't sentient.🤬

This 'utter failure' from Trump could 'stun the world' in 2026: researcher
President Donald Trump has bet big on an agenda to expand artificial intelligence investment in the United States — but this year, some analysts think it could come back to haunt him, as a long-suspected AI investment bubble bursts and the public turns against the technology for its increasingly app...

Exactly this. What a self-own.
Yeah, no. “Slop” is ubiquitous now. The normies say slop. Even “AI” as a derogatory noun for something that looks in any way crappy is commonplace. The opportunity to prevent that was before they released an unfinished, unpolished technology on the masses. Now we’re here.

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

Bari Weiss is so profoundly out of her depth.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”
