I suspect Democrats refusing to cave like they had previously is really getting to him. He has gone unchallenged for so long that this seems to be the one area where his immunity can't save him.

EA: Maxis will continue to have creative freedom.

Also, EA: We've put all of Maxis' resources into The Sims 4.

Elon constantly being forced to tune Grok shows just how much of a losing battle it is. LLM is just doing what it's programmed to do.

"You're only supposed to defame Democrats, Google!"

But Kahle said the lawsuits against IA showed that “massive multibillion-dollar media conglomerates” have their own interests in controlling the flow of information. “That’s what they really succeeded at—to make sure that Wikipedia readers don’t get access to books,” Kahle said.

They used to be anti-Adobe and claimed they'd never stoop to their level. This new free version offers Canva Premium plan, which unlocks cloud content. It's only going to get worse from here.

Krita is also another good alternative, imo.

Better late than never.
