Increasingly, I sympathize with animals that are prey in the world: they just want to graze and eat, move through their space in peace, but always, always, they must keep an eye out for the predator, be alert to the one whose goal in life is to chase them down and eat them.

Prediction: This time of celebrating ignorance and devotion to right-wing Christian nationalist dogma in the USA and elsewhere will ultimately have the effect of increasing atheism, agnosticism, and empiricism.

"xAI apparently lost a government contract after a tweak to Grok's prompting triggered an antisemitic meltdown where the chatbot praised Hitler and declared itself MechaHitler last month.
Despite the scandal, xAI announced that its products would soon be available for federal workers to purchase through the General Services Administration. At the time, xAI claimed this was an "important milestone" for its government business.
But Wired reviewed emails and spoke to government insiders, which revealed that GSA leaders abruptly decided to drop xAI's Grok from their contract offering. That decision to pull the plug came after leadership allegedly rushed staff to make Grok available as soon as possible following a persuasive sales meeting with xAI in June.
It's unclear what exactly caused the GSA to reverse course, but two sources told Wired that they "believe xAI was pulled because of Grok’s antisemitic tirade."
As of this writing, xAI's "Grok for Government" website has not been updated to reflect GSA's supposed removal of Grok from an offering that xAI noted would have allowed "every federal government department, agency, or office, to access xAI's frontier AI products.""

"The White House’s recently-unveiled “AI Action Plan” wages war on so-called “woke AI”—including large language models (LLMs) that provide information inconsistent with the administration’s views on climate change, gender, and other issues. It also targets measures designed to mitigate the generation of racial and gender biased content and even hate speech. The reproduction of this bias is a pernicious problem that AI developers have struggled to solve for over a decade.
A new executive order called “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government,” released alongside the AI Action Plan, seeks to strong-arm AI companies into modifying their models to conform with the Trump Administration’s ideological agenda.
The executive order requires AI companies that receive federal contracts to prove that their LLMs are free from purported “ideological biases” like “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” This heavy-handed censorship will not make models more accurate or “trustworthy,” as the Trump Administration claims, but is a blatant attempt to censor the development of LLMs and restrict them as a tool of expression and information access."
