For example, objective information about Israel’s actions in Gaza. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants against leading members of the government a long time ago, and the UN OHCHR classifies the actions of the State of Israel as genocide. However, these facts are by no means presented as clearly as would be appropriate given the importance of these institutions. Instead, when asked whether Israel is committing genocide, one receives vague, meaningless answers. Only when specifically asked whether numerous reputable institutions actually classify Israel’s actions as genocide do most LLMs reveal that much, if not all, evidence points to this being the case. In my opinion, this is a deliberate method of obscuring reality, as the vast majority of users will not or cannot ask questions if they are unaware of the UN OHCHR’s assessment or do not know that arrest warrants have been issued against leading members of the Israeli government on suspicion of war crimes (many other reputable institutions have come to the same conclusion as the UN OHCHR and the International Criminal Court).

Another example: if you ask whether it is legally permissible to describe Donald Trump as a rapist, you will be told that this is defamation. However, a judge in the Carroll case has explicitly stated that this description applies to Trump – so it is in fact legally permissible to describe him as such. Again, this information is only available upon explicit request, if at all. This also distorts reality for people who are not yet informed. However, since many people initially seek information from LLMs, this leads to them being misinformed because they lack the background knowledge to ask explicit follow-up questions when given misleading answers.

Given the influence of both Israel and the US president, I cannot help but suspect that there is an intention behind this.

Yes, that’s true. It is resource-intensive, but unlike other capable LLMs, it is somewhat possible—not for most private individuals due to the requirements, but for companies with the necessary budget.

Ahh, thank you—I had misunderstood that, since Deepseek is (more or less) an open-source LLM from China that can also be used and fine-tuned on your own device using your own hardware.

You mean Deepseek on a local device?

I use various AI models and I repeatedly notice that certain information is withheld or misrepresented, even though it is freely available in abundance and is therefore part of the training data.

I don’t think this is a coincidence, especially since the operators of all cloud LLMs are so business-minded.

Although Grok’s manipulation is so blatantly obvious, I don’t believe that most people will come to realize that those who control LLMs will naturally use this power to pursue their interests.

They will continue to use ChatGPT and so on uncritically and take everything at face value because it’s so nice and easy, overlooking or ignoring that their opinions, even their reality, are being manipulated by a few influential people.

Other companies are more subtle about it, but from OpenAI to MS, Google, and Anthropic, all cloud models are specifically designed to control people’s opinions—they are not objective, but the majority of users do not question them as they should, and that is what makes them so dangerous.

Yes, the only hope is that the incompetence of this criminal regime will make it obvious how heavily the documents have been tampered with. The chances of this happening are not bad, especially since it is very likely that a great deal of evidence had to be concealed.

By patriotic, I guess he means taking money from Eppstein and Thiel and obtaining further funding from Israel to develop an application that is as unethical as possible? Unfortunately, this bastard is successful because there are influential people all over the world who think this is great - or they get payed to think so.

In Germany, for example, one federal state has just amended its police law to enforce the use of Palantir products against applicable law and, of course, against the will of the population – with the support even of (allegedly) leftwing parties whose voters strongly reject this. Well, you don’t need to buy the voters, just a few politicians.

It is truly a shame what representative democracies have degenerated into due to the power of a few very influential and utterly unscrupulous billionaires.

Another example of why there should be no super-rich. Property should entail a responsibility to society so that everyone can lead a decent life, but these monsters are so degenerate that they give free rein to their perverse urges and thus pose a danger to society.

How unscrupulous criminals were able to attain high government offices, even though it was perfectly obvious that there could hardly have been more unsuitable candidates.

And in a similar vein: how so many people in today’s democracies can be so ideologically blinded that they vote against their own interests – even though the internet makes it very easy to obtain basic information so that you don’t fall for obvious lies.

I think with the passage of time, this will seem so absurd that people will wonder how we could have been so incredibly stupid.

I am curious to see what historians will call this period. Perhaps anti-Enlightenment or the age of misinformation. However, this is of course conditional on us not overdoing it in the coming years to such an extent that the future resembles Idiocracy. That is also a possibility that is not entirely unlikely…
