"Subscribers to X Premium, which grants access to Grok, have been posting everything from Barack Obama doing cocaine to Donald Trump with a pregnant woman who (vaguely) resembles Kamala Harris to Trump and Harris pointing guns. With US elections approaching and X already under scrutiny from regulators in Europe, it’s a recipe for a new fight over the risks of generative AI."

"We are all going to die because we have new technology, help us governments, regulate it so we don't make too much human progress at a time!!!"

I want to know what happened to "information wants to be free".

But it's not free. You have to subscribe to X premium

Misinformation wants to be free

[–] Rakudjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I think you're confusing it with Ms. Information. Which would cause information to be female, and as a female, information has no rights. Ms. Information does not get to be free.

I want to know what happened to “information wants to be free”.

I think its more "Fuck you, pay me" now that Musk is running a few rubles short of what he needs to stay the world's richest man.

"Information wants to be free", it never was. Thats only a small part of the quote. The whole quote is:

Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. ...That tension will not go away.
