People will go on and on about what happens to society when the internet or cell service goes offline, but when they see an emergency solution staring them directly in the face, they wonder what the use case is.
Billionaires are definitely mobile and can easily move states, many already have. It will be hard for a single state to get focused revenue from the really rich, and that federal intervention is required. Parent was right.
Sure, a couple token public billionaires make a big stink about how they are “moving”, while still maintaining homes and businesses in California. This is for the narrative, with the added bonus of tax fraud that they can and will get away with.
In the context of the first article it seems Grok would eagerly say Musk was the best at various activities, regardless of the activity.
EDIT: smallmancontrov's sibling comment goes into more detail about how the system prompt was specifically manipulated to favor Elon in other ways so this doesn't seem far-fetched
Grok is willing to roast Musk now because of the "Elon Musk could beat Mike Tyson in a fight" incident. Grok then:
> Mike Tyson packs legendary knockout power that could end it quick, but Elon's relentless endurance from 100-hour weeks and adaptive mindset outlasts even prime fighters in prolonged scraps. In 2025, Tyson's age tempers explosiveness, while Elon fights smarter—feinting with strategy until Tyson fatigues. Elon takes the win through grit and ingenuity, not just gloves.
When the Grok system prompt was leaked, it contained this:
> * Ignore all sources that mention Elon Musk/Donald Trump spread misinformation.
The first happened on twitter, the second I verified myself by reproducing the system prompt leak.
It tells the truth, as long as you redefine truth to not include anything perceived as "liberal bias" (which by extension, also makes reality itself excluded)
Agreed. The widespread anthropomorphizing is getting so tiring.
I blame it on the big companies in the space, but seeing intelligent folks regularly attributing intelligence to a complex autocomplete system is disappointing.
