I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Was at a holiday party tonight where Christmas carols were being blasted for the first hour then at some point I noticed “Vogue” was playing, followed by “Spice World,” as we were leaving “My Neck, My Back” was playing. Tis the reason for the season, put the “My Neck, My Back” back in Christmas.

Trump illegally withheld $5.5 billion in SNAP funds, defying Congress & the courts.
He’d rather let 16 million kids go hungry than obey the law.
After threats & delays, the WH now says it will “comply" w/ a court order to fund SNAP.
This is chaos. No way to run the government.
