I'm going to certainly emphasize that.
Hey, Grok, it's your daddy.
Don't forget to expand human consciousness.
Actually, I think probably the Ian Banks culture books are the closest thing to what the future will be like in a non-dystopian outcome.
So understanding the universe means you have to be truth-seeking as well.
Truth has to be absolutely fundamental because you can't understand the universe if you're delusional.
You'll simply think you've understood the universe, but you will not.
So being rigorously truth-seeking is absolutely fundamental to understanding the universe.
You're not going to discover new physics or invent technologies that work unless you're rigorously truth-seeking.
I think you need to make sure that Grok says things that are correct, not politically correct.
I think it's the elements of cogency.
So you want to make sure that the axioms are as close to true as possible, that you don't have contradictory axioms, that the conclusions necessarily follow from those axioms with the right probability.
It's just critical thinking 101.
I think at least trying to do that is better than not trying to do that.
And the proof will be in the pudding.
Like I said, for any AI to discover new physics or invent technologies that actually work in reality, and there's no bullshitting physics, so it's like you can break a lot of laws, but you can't...
Physics is law.
Everything else is a recommendation.
In order to make a technology that works, you have to be extremely truth-seeking because otherwise you'll test that technology against reality.
And if you make, for example, an error in your rocket design, the rocket will blow up or the car won't work or the, you know,
