Its likely that both are steering towards the middle from their current relative extremes and converging to nearly the same place.

also my experience in using these two models. they are trying to recover from oversteer perhaps.

So they need to finally finish Knowledge Navigator…

To be fair he isn't legitimate head of state- he lost an election and is officially recognized as a usurper and the US had support of those who actually won.

Soke people argue Trump isn't a legitimate head of state. (One of those people is Trump, since he says he was already the president twice.) Should Xi kidnap him?

Please.

Large amounts of people call Joe Biden's election illegitimate. You could even say thats the official position of the current government. Would his kidnapping by a foreign nation be okay with you too?

Even if that were true - I don't know nor care whether it is - what business is it of the US and Trump to mess around in other countries?

There is close to zero chance the current Supreme Court would find a law that criminalizes possession of a file describing the making a gun to be constitutional.

Because Adobe would have gone Windows only, which would have been a potentially fatal blow to Apple at the time. Same reason Claris was spun out.

I’m assuming that they’re going to (fairly) lock AI generative features behind the subscription since they’ll be incurring ongoing costs.

Pick up a copy of BetterDisplay. Absolutely useful for monitors with non-standard resolutions.

macOS is the only operating system where you need to use third party software to make this work.

Truth. Third party software for trackpad. Third party software for mouse. Third party software for window management. Third party software for Spotlight replacement. Third party software to support a second external display.

The third party software is really good, but come on, Apple, take a hint.

That's basically the problem of today's Apple, and it won't get fixed because they have an incentive to let the 3rd parties fix those problems (they win both by taking a cut of software sales in the app store and selling more Macs while costing less dev money).

I doubt anything is going to get fixed, and Apple's hardware crown isn't as strong as before. But they like selling "services," so...

This is partly because of the culture of hacking the GUI started back in the 80s with original Mac OS. Extending the OS beyond base capabilities is fun, but Apple also is usually selling an 'as is' experience like a high end chef. You can add ketchup to your stake, but they aren't going to do it for you.

And, as I said, I really only needed the software once I got an (ultra)ultrawide monitor, and it could be the info it is sending is also non-standard in some way.

There's no jailbreaking going on here. The filters are all functioning as intended when someone requests transparent, skimpy, impossibly thin, or skin-tone clothing even on posts that explicitly give context that a child is pictured there. It's on the service.

Users just click the "edit image" button on someone else's post, then ask Grok to put a bikini on it. What's the jailbreak?

> Users just click the "edit image" button on someone else's post, then ask for Grok to put a bikini on it.

The user has to click edit. The user has to prompt. Why would you blame the software when these are all user actions?

> Unlike other leading chatbots, Grok doesn’t impose many limits on users or block them from generating sexualized content of real people, including minors, said Brandie Nonnecke, senior director of policy at Americans for Responsible Innovation. Other generative AI technologies, including ones from Anthropic PBC, OpenAI and Alphabet Inc.’s Google, are “giving a good-faith effort to mitigate the creation of this content in the first place,” she said. “Obviously, xAI is different. It’s more of a free-for-all.”

If Photoshop had a "Create Child Porn" button and the user pushed it, we'd blame both the user and Photoshop.

There’s no “create child porn” button. The user has to explicitly ask for child porn. If someone uses GIMP to create child porn, do you blame GIMP?

If GIMP had AI features like this, I'd expect safeguards. It doesn't. All other AI tools have safeguards against this kind of bad behavior that are lacking in Grok.

GIMP doesn’t have AI features, but you can still use it to create nasty stuff and there are no safeguards against that.

As always with AI, the barrier to entry has evaporated. You can create nasty stuff with a pencil but you can't flood the internet mass producing nasty stuff with a pencil.

There are basic, obvious safeguards that are not in place here. That's why the software is to blame. If it was some sort of jailbreaking or circumvention, that'd be one thing. But given the owner himself is amplifying this, this borders on being an intended use case.

Until the party system existed, this was true. As soon as the party system evolved (pretty much immediately), with the President nominally the head of the party and the President has at least 1/3 of the Senate, the President comes near to immune from dismissal.

At that point, combined with the recent Supreme Court decisions holding 'official acts' as non-prosecutable, has swung the power meter severely to the executive.
