> A security lead at a large enterprise* told me last week, when I asked whether they had any interest in Grok: "The revenge porn edgelord LLM? Yeah, imagine that; our bank wants nothing to do with it."
Highly qualified leadership detected.
Also: Banks have the moral high ground, apparently.
Stopped reading after it circled right back to this British NGO's fraudulent "study" that almost all of these stories are based on: https://counterhate.com/research/grok-floods-x-with-sexualiz...

Meh? First, demand isn't necessarily zero despite the author's assertion based on the exhaustive data survey of asking "a couple of other people". For instance, SpaceXAI was convincing all the banks who wanted to work on the SpaceX IP to purchase Grok.
Second, AWS's goal is clearly to make Bedrock be the place to go for all the models - they're pushing for completeness, and that includes Grok.
Would I use it? No. Am I at all surprised that AWS is adding it to Bedrock? Also no.

It's really dumb to intentionally avoid technology because you don't agree with the owner's politics.
Are we to going to forget that Amazon colluded with the Biden administration to destroy Parlor, simply because Trump used it?
Far worse than anything Musk has done.
