Former employees say the restructuring followed tensions over safety and being “stuck in the catch-up phase.”

    I love NSFW Grok but they should've put more emphasis on legal boundaries and safety [embedded post]

    Why is big e crashing out like this [image]

    the logic of this makes zero sense... Anthropic clearly isn't meant to invoke misanthropic. meanwhile, elon does seem to like x because of its sex appeal. he literally named Tesla's S, 3, X, Y. his AI company is disturbingly leaning into its nominative determinism there.
