I think when "free speech" conflicts with societal norms, such as good behaviour, treating others with respect, etc, I think that's where the line is drawn. Too many hide behind free speech as a defence for saying anything they want, no matter the damage that may be caused.
societal norms is really broad and good behavior is subjective. There's simply no way to enforce something like that unbiasedly.

Most countries don't try. You are indeed biased against if you cant behave. Its only the US that has taken the idea that being an adult in life is optional and indeed being a complete dick is some source of pride and should be celebrated.
 
But I thought this sort of thing only occurs with DeepSeek, cause the West don’t practice political censorship.
 
I would rather do my own research and make up my own mind rather than rely on AI.

How are you going to do that? Read biased media? Read political propaganda? Take Elon or Trump at their word for their own veracity when they have been caught lying so many times that to believe them puts one's judgment is permanent question? Absorb it all and process it through your own political and cognitive biases?

AI is just another source for presenting you information. The fact that it is processed by a machine is irrelevant. The information you consume from all the media and your trusted advisors has been processed by biased humans and/or biased machines.

By all means, make up your own mind. But don't think doing your "own research" makes your result more pure or any less biased than what comes out of an AI.
 
Lies fall out of Musk's mouth more that water over Niagara Falls. As someone that lives in Europe and seeing his attempts to influence our politics he should be classed as a hostile foreign actor, because the stuff he is saying shows that he is totally ignorant about Europe, like so many Americans, ignorant about what happens in the rest of the world outside their borders.
 
That is utter ********. ANYONE who is a software developer knows that you create pull requests, the code is thoroughly reviewed by a senior dev (or higher), then the change is pushed.

Exactly. Pushing new release to production is not possible without several reviews and approvals.
Yes: Perhaps for production code. But Grok 3 was in Beta until today. (Ex-software developer here.)

I like the "was caught" narrative, being as it was "caught" only because it came right out and explained its reasoning

As for the "X is a free speech platform only if Musk agrees with the speech": That's a pretty hard argument to make when people are calling-out Musk right-and-left on the platform, proposing he be deported, bitching about DOGE, posting about getting rid of the Teslas, criticizing pretty much all aspects of the Trump Administration, etc., etc.

So unfair, Leon & his buddy being such saintly human beings with everyone's best interests at heart and all... /s

Please take a step back and inform yourself on how machine learning text to speech transcription works and there will be nothing suprising to see this behaviour.

On the other hand blatant programming made do disregard malicious behaviour is more politically charged, this is not a partisan issue.
that "malicious behavior" where it was clearly showing full thought process for everyone to check and the only way we found out was because they were being 100% transparent about it? yeah not a big issue.

meanwhile you seem to sweep away the black box issue of one completely different sounding word is somehow being transcribed into a word that one side of the country is thinking as if it's a common bug (what other transcription function has done that before?).

They will just do another one-liner and "patch the patch". The issue that this incident creates for AI apologists is losing the public trust. Not with me though, I never trusted them an inch in the first place!

Come on man, it must get really boring working on that stuff and Devs are known for their dark senses of humor. Some devs are also known for being complete ******s, as are some politicians.

Couple those ideas with the truism that the devil makes work for idle hands and you must conclude that AI output, and the people working on its production behind the curtain, can never be trusted.
