There is a slight difference between feature steering and intentionally installing the (de-facto) CEO as the principal source of truth.
Keep going. I thought Anthropic’s CEO is the source of truth that AI based on his belief that it should avoid these topics.
Musk has different opinions than Dario, but they are both introducing biases into their respective companies
Choosing not to answer - regardless of whether or not that was a rule mandated by the CEO (an unsourced and unlikely claim given the corporate structure of most large organizations) - is far different than insisting on an answer from whatever the CEO last decided to tweet.
One is returning "null." The other is not.
One says, "Figure that one out yourself." The other says, "Here is the truth."

It is pretty interesting that this model will have two forms of bias though. One model derived from the company perspective and its training data, and two from Elon himself.
Months ago this model would have promoted Trump, but now it'll call Trump disastrous for the economy.
I don't know what to think of general company biases, and we've all been expecting biases to start favoring share holders eventually.. but biases based on twitter rants potentially changing day to day certainly is a new unique feature of Grok i guess.

There’s a well-known quote often attributed to economist John Maynard Keynes: “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?”
Yea but this example wasn't of the facts changing. It was of opinions changing. Musk had one opinion months ago, and a different one now. The bot explicitly searched twitter for the current opinions of someone with a history of less than stable actions (i'm trying to be generous for sake of neutrality).
This bot isn't at the whims of the corporate oversight or advertisements, or even direction of a CEO - the bot is at the whims of every post from a chronically online and addicted Twitter personality. Even if you ignore Elons other flaws, making a bot the sum total of everything he's said on Twitter is pretty impressive. .. and not in a good way.
