Grok could only be conceived by someone who doesn't understand the dependency chart re science & the humanities. It's impossible to build a rational, accurate model that isn't also egalitarian.

I'm going to blame Randall Munroe for this, and assume Philosophy was dating his mom back when he drew that science "purity" strip.

I think there just wasn't enough space on the left to fit philosophy in.

Cfe: "it's impossible to be rational without agreeing with me on everything" and other hits.

I wouldn't say it is impossible. It is difficult to build a smart model with a given worldview, but trained on a corpus of text written by people with a different worldview.

The kinds of people administering wikipedia and working in academia tend to have a certain worldview, and will work backwards to justify that worldview, censor, etc. The idea that "reality has a liberal bias" is pretty fatal mistake because you are conflating reality with the opinions of the studiers of reality.

That your comment is grey but has no replies speaks volumes.
