As someone stumbling across this thread: the idea that, in regards to bias, a real person might actually consider these two events in any way comparable is honestly leaving me stunned. I can't find the right words to describe how sickening it is to see Nazism being treated as just as banally acceptable as any other political direction.

You're misreading. Nazism isn't being treated as acceptable, neither is wokeism. Both companies have apologized for these incidents, and have addressed the problems.

No, I'm understanding you perfectly well.

You understand their point of view and are just rejecting it?

And commenting to express disagreement but not bothering to say why?

I don't quite understand what's going on here?


You said Nazism is being accepted like other political movements. But nobody (in this thread) ever said something like that.

From my and seemingly others’ reading, you have equated Nazi and woke very directly in your comments. Do you feel you have you not?

I haven't equated them, I've used them as examples of opposite extremes.

I think Nazism is extreme right, and wokeism is extreme left. It's both out of balance. And Google and xAI both acknowledged that, and addressed the problems.


You are equating them right here. Calling them equal opposites is equating them. It implies woke is just as bad as nazi.

Yeah, don't you agree?

Edit: when woke wants to change historical facts like that nazi soldiers used to be black, yes I think it's just as wrong as to be racist


No I think nazis killed millions of people and “woke” has done nothing remotely similar.

Nazi is the terminology you chose for referring to past Grok issues. Woke is the terminology I used to refer to past Gemini issues.

Regardless of the terminology, I think we should look at the issues themselves, and not mindlessly apply a certain ideaology upon a company for certain past issues.

In short: maybe xAI aren't the nazi's you seem to think they are, and maybe this woke movement that you seem to adore isn't as innocent as they make themselves out to be.
