Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

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.

Talking to a male CS teacher about how proud I was that my best programmer in y12 was a girl and he said sagely that he tells his boys that girls are a different style of programmer & they may not be as good but they are *communicators*. He saw no irony in the fact I could program him into a corner.
