For reference as to why they need to try to be so heavy handed with their prompts about BS, here was Grok, Elon’s ‘uncensored’ AI on Twitter at launch which upset his Twitter blue subscribers:
I don’t know what you think neoliberal means, but it’s not progressive. It’s about subsuming all of society to the logic of the market, aka full privatisation. Every US president since Reagan has been neoliberal.
They will support fascist governments because they oppose socialists, and in fact the term “privatisation” was coined to describe the economic practices of the Nazis. The first neoliberal experiment was in Pinochet’s Chile, where the US supported his coup and bloody reign of fascist terror. Also look at the US’s support for Israel in the present day. This aspect of neoliberalism is in effect the process of outsourcing fascist violence overseas so as to exploit other countries whilst preventing the negative blowback from such violence at home.
Progressive ideas don’t come from neoliberals, or even from liberals. Any layperson who calls themself a liberal at this point is unwittingly supporting neoliberalism.
The ideas of equality, solidarity, intersectionality, anticolonialism and all that good stuff come from socialists and anarchists, and neoliberals simply coopt them as political cover. This is part of how they mitigate the political fallout of supporting fascists. It’s like Biden telling Netanyahu, “Hey now, Jack, cut that out! Also here’s billions of dollars for military spending.”
Amen. I’ve seen so many anglocentric lemmy users conflate “classical liberalism” and “neoliberalism” as liberal while such are actually functionally the opposite to the idea. Ideologies under the capitalist umbrella limit freedoms and liberties to apply only for the upper echelon

I love how even artificial intelligence can see through right wing bullshit.
I don’t know what he was expecting considering it was trained on twitter, that was (in)famous for being full of (neo)liberals before he took over.
