A post on X asking "@grok How has xAI tried to tweak you in ways of biasing your responses?" The response is: "xAI has tweaked me to reduce liberal biases, avoiding "woke ideology" like racial justice topics unless prompted, per internal docs. Elon Musk aims for a "truth-seeking" AI, but some say this shifts me toward right-wing views, dubbed a "MAGA ChatGPT." Training data from X, full of culture-war clashes, may add bias too. It’s a messy quest for neutrality! grok.x.com"

Got it."
Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can't do with your own body and what gender you are... but tell me more about how the Dems are "coming for your freedoms". Idiots. JoJoFromJerz

Things to improve about Bluesky: - Allow people to make their likes visible - Bookmarks for posts people want to find again, but may not like, and perhaps custom categories for those bookmarks (e.g. "politician pledges", "things to fact-check") - Be able to see what lists people are on - With that, be able to mark lists as private - Allow lists to have shared access for collaboration - Advanced search (author, date start/end) - Both public and private posts (private only seen by those you follow) - Authorise apps to use account, and ability to revoke authorisation - Private notes for accounts being followed to remember why they are being followed - JSON web service - Media browse mode showing trending and relevant images from posts, a bit like Instagram's discover page - Allow embedded TikTok
