so when you…
• force this tech on most everyone
• block it from acknowledging trans people even exist
• remove lgbtq people from human rights reporting & allow ICE to conceal info on trans people in custody
…it seems like a good time for cis folks to stop considering political “compromises.”

Trump's new executive order about AI states that companies' models must not incorporate the idea that trans people exist as a concept. Seems bad.

I've no time for conspiracies. Get in the way, they do. Glad I wasn't involved at all.

It should also raise the alarm for all of AI: If people like Musk are willing to weigh its AI to become mecha-hitler, they're probably also willing to weigh it to support their business interests.
Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Grok is doing something very odd right now. It posted blaming DOGE cuts for deaths in the Texas floods, writing, "Facts over feelings." Called out by Musk fans, it doubled down: "Facts aren't woke; they're just facts." Then it backtracked and claimed screenshots of the posts were fake (they're not).

My latest newsletter is about the tech industry's desire for control over their customers, and how that, in turn, leads into worse products that are harder to understand.
