To be fair most self-proclaimed MAGA Christians in the USA are heretics. So this is not really surprising.

They have way too many employees for what they do.

The USA doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to human rights.

This is of course fine, if you intend to never travel internationally. Not defending any one, Ofcom is terrible just like 4chan.

This is veiled speak for "No one wants to work for us, so we need to contact rejected applicants to fill positions".

I use AI for work, but not agentic, at most per method/function using GitHub CoPilot (which has Grok on it).

Grok is at best useful for commenting code.

Same, I earn 60K as a senior, but I would never accept a 200K+ position at xAI.

You can always visit the court, and you know, sit in.

Most media in Europe are required to ambiguate names of criminals. For instance by removing the first name or the last name.

I've never heard of them. Looks to be a company from Greece. That would explain their reply. Not exactly known for their tech.

Getting the architecture mostly right, so it's easy to maintain and modify in the future is IMO hard part, but I find that this is where AI shines. I have 20 years of SWE experience (professional) and (10 hobby) and most of my AI use is for architecture and scaffolding first, code second.

Indeed. Most people who seek employment at big tech do so because of the money, not because of the mission.

Elon/Thiel/Miller are the de-factory leaders of your country, and Trump and Vance are their puppets.

We have plenty of cloud providers, most are on national levels, not international levels.

The USA was always on the path on becoming a corpocracy, not a democracy. Musk/Thiel and their puppet JD Vance has cemented it.

Jokes on xAI. Europe doesn't have a Section 230 and the responsibility fall squarely on the platform and its owners. In Europe, AI generated or photoshopped CSAM is treated the same as actual abuse-backed CSAM if the depiction is realistic. Possession and distribution are both serious crimes.

The person(s) ultimately in charge of removing (or preventing the implementation of) Grok guardrails might find themselves being criminally indicted in multiple European countries once investigations have concluded.
