I would agree the cats out of the bag, so there may not be anything that can be done. The keys aren't going to those who can afford a server farm, the door is wide open for anyone with a computer.

The interesting follow up to this is what Disney does to a model trained on their films. Sure lawyers, but how much will they actually be able to do?

Basically, yes.

If I were an alien and you walked up to me and said, "Good Morning", and I looked around and everyone else said "Good Morning", I would respond with "Good Morning ". I don't know what is "Good" or "Morning", but I can pretend I do with the correct response.

In this example "Grok" has no context on what is going on in the background. Musk may have done nothing. Musk may have altered the data sets heavily. However the most popular response, based on what everyone else is saying, is that he did modify the data. So now it looks like he did, because that's what everyone else said.

This is why these tools have issues with facts. If 1 + 1 = 3, and everyone says that 1 + 1 = 3, then it assumes 1 + 1 = 3.

This article leaves out the best part!

After ignoring the UK reporter MTG turns to an American reporter who says, "I'm an American, and I would like to hear your answer to her question."

Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?

Assuming US, it actually depends on the state (may be all states, but I can only speak of those I've lived in). The law is that the money must go into a separate interest bearing account and that is the money that is to be returned. So the money isn't supposed be their own pocket.

I mean what they can do I've said. What I expect is a lot more damage from the Trump administration. Democrats are generally on board with reigning the administration in and/or stopping it, depending on what happens.

Unfortunately the majority for most things sit with Republicans, so it will be slow getting them to respond to Trump. I expect a few Republicans will chime in from time to time, might help stop a few things. Of course Congress lacks the resources to enforce things, so it'll be interesting to see what happens there.

Eventually Trump is going to go too far. I would argue he already has, but specifically he's going to go too far for Republicans. The speaker, Johnson, is the one to watch. I think McConnell still has some sway, but he's also clearly very ill physically. Actually Republicans that are usually quiet are probably the ones to watch first.

Yes, what congress WILL do versus what they SHOULD do are different things.

If you look at things like the recent Gaza statements by Trump I think it's clear Trump is going to continuously step over the line and others will need to walk it back. Eventually that someone will be congress, I just hope it's sooner rather than later, although I fear it will be later rather than sooner.

What do you propose that they do?

Impeach and remove Trump. Yes, a Vance administration might do the same things but Congress would make it clear they're not willing to allow such bullshit.

Or subpoena Musk and others, which I know recently failed a vote to do exactly that.

Congress CAN do a lot of things, they were designed to be a powerful pillar of government. They have ceded much of that power through inaction over the years but they can take it back.

Assuming Twitter survives long enough, it'll get added back but tied to a Musk-backed currency.
