In late October, Elon Musk released a Wikipedia alternative, with pages written by his AI chatbot Grok. Unlike its nearly quarter-century-old namesake, Musk said Grokipedia would strip out the “woke” from Wikipedia, which he previously described as an “extension of legacy media propaganda.” But while Musk’s Grokipedia, in his eyes, is propaganda-free, it seems to have a proclivity toward right-wing hagiography.

Take Grokipedia’s entry on Adolf Hitler. Until earlier this month, the entry read, “Adolf Hitler was the Austrian-born Führer of Germany from 1933 to 1945.” That phrase has been edited to “Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician and dictator,” but Grok still refers to Hitler by his honorific one clause later, writing that Hitler served as “Führer und Reichskanzler from August 1934 until his suicide in 1945.” NBC News also pointed out that the page on Hitler goes on for some 13,000 words before the first mention of the Holocaust.

Not sure if you heard but according to the CEO of Palantir in an interview he gave a few weeks ago, there is now "woke left" and "woke right."

Basically anybody on the right who wakes up and smells the bullshit in the narrative is "woke." Like if you believe in those "crazy conspiracy theories" that say Palantir is up to some evil villain shit, you're woke.

It's kind of hilarious that a word literally derived from "awoken" in pronunciation, spelling, and meaning is these people's prime insult.

So is antifa. Literally anti-fascist.

Creepy ass conservatives: Stay asleep so I can keep doing stuff to you while you're unaware.

According to Peter Thiel Greta Thunberg is the Anti-Christ because she believes in people coming together and pressuring the UN. Anything to avoid accountability with these people.

When they rail against "one world government" it just makes me think it's a good idea.

I mean they want a one government, they just want to be the ones in charge of that one government.

The entire argument is that it's somehow safer bc it's a private corporation/business, and not the government. Except it's a private monopoly protected and contracted by the fucking government!

The only way that argument could possibly make the slightest bit of sense would be in an imaginary world where there was legitimate competition between other corporations (but if that was the case corporations probably wouldn't exist) and the American people actually had some say in which private company got government contracts.

Instead, government officials (who are allegedly the reason we have to turn to private businesses bc we can't trust the government) are buying stock in private companies, and then handing government contracts to the fucking private companies where they own stock.

Isn't the pope the new anti-christ?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He has claimed like a dozen people are either the anti-christ or working with the anti-christ. The Pope and Greta are just a few he has named. One of them is just this former co-worker he doesn't like lol.

Clearly Thiel is a genius capable of recognizing when the antichrist changes hape. I propose we start an initiative to raise money for him so he can continue his nobel mission.

Palantir is a scumbag company that profits on selling the machinery of oppression to authoritarian governments and entities.
