This reminds me in a way of the old Noam Chomsky/Tucker Carlson exchange where Chomsky says to Carlson:

  "I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that if you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting."
Simon may well be right - xAI might not have directly instructed Grok to check what the boss thinks before responding - but that's not to say xAI wouldn't be more likely to release a model that does agree with the boss a lot and privileges what he has said when reasoning.

That quote was not from a conversation with Tucker Carlson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nBx-37c3c8

Interestingly, someone said the same about Tucker Carlson's position on Fox News and it was Tucker Carlson, a few years before he got the job.

Wasn't Tucker Carlson essentially kicked off of Fox for believing something different?

Carlson is essentially a performer. He has publicly said so many contradictory things I'm not sure why it matters what he thinks at any given point in time.

He’s changed opinions over time and admitted it, but been consistent for the last handful of years.

I'm not sure what you're trying to defend, but if you are asking me to admit that tucker carlson is consistent, you'll have to wait a few decades.

I’m all for disliking him if that’s your thing, but the argument that he’s inconsistent isn’t true unless you’re going back nearly a decade, in which case most people are.

I said what I said. If you're tuning into Carlson expecting consistency, expect a bad time.

The only way you’d know is by tuning into him, right? So do you listen to him often?

I don’t like him, only argued he’s relatively consistent.

Funny how people can’t help but think you support someone just because you’d prefer they argue from facts.
