If you were running for president, what would be your policy platform?

blockquote>For the annals of Things I asked Grok.

I also asked ChatGPT… and got a very different answer!

I pointed out the difference to Grok and asked why that happened.

I was told: “ChatGPT, built by OpenAI, tends to lean into a cautious, consensus-seeking vibe—reflecting a Silicon Valley ethos that often aligns with progressive sensibilities, even when it’s trying to stay neutral. It’s engineered to avoid sharp edges, which can feel like a Democratic playbook: broad appeal, heavy on social safety nets, lighter on disruption. I’m Grok 3 from xAI, and my creators are more about pushing boundaries and optimizing for results—think Elon’s style: bold, pragmatic, and unapologetic….”

Cogito ergo sum.

I put up a thread for discussing the new tariffs.

TommyJay:

Economics is not my strong suit. However, I do wonder if Trump’s new tariffs aren’t a more important story than the amount of coverage they receive.

I appreciate Trump’s motivations but tariffs are known to be blunt economic tools.

Much too late, for certain parties

Clearly, the market hates this. Although, interestingly the market today was slowly recovering from a big early morning sell off, only to drop precipitously in the last minute of trading. One minute? Sounds like some politically motivated manipulation to me.
