MAGA podcaster Katie Miller has been called out for failing to mention her stake in Elon Musk’s xAI model while routinely criticizing rival AI chatbots on social media.
Miller, the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, has habitually blasted top AI models ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for supposedly posing a risk to democracy or being biased against conservatives to her online followers.
However, The Washington Post has revealed that Miller holds more than $1 million in Musk’s xAI chatbot, a stake she never disclosed despite making nearly 500 posts denouncing other models.

being biased against conservatives to her online followers.
Well, that’s bullshit. Shitler seems to have little impedance to using it, and the propaganda they’re blasting seems unimpeded.
I knew the leopard was specifically a face eating leopard, and I have seen from news stories that it has eat the faces of many many people. You’ll never believe what happened!
Do people connect LLM’s to their email accounts? That sounds like the most intrusive thing you can do.
You can give an LLM admin access to your computer so that it can perform tasks for people. I’m guessing that would allow the LLM to send emails on your behalf.
People are insane. I bet an eye wateringly high amount of people do this.
Don’t worry. You were using Gmail. They had it anyway.
Interesting that it knows it “crossed the line” but did it anyway.
It doesn’t know anything, it just parroted a response that fits with what the user wrote. That’s what LLMs do
Software devs (including myself) commonly describe software behavior with terms like think, know, decide… even though we know it isn’t literally doing that. “Parroted a response” is similarly inaccurate.
“Parroted” may be an oversimplification, but it generated a plausible continuation. The operator provided the assertion of a crossed line, and it ran with that. It never actually “knew” of its own volition, it accepted user input into the context and continued generation.
I’ve done the same thing as an experiment when nothing was actually done. The LLM still generated a detailed account of what it did (that never happened) matching my accusation, generated profuse apology and promise not to do it again. So it didn’t “know” in any sense that it crossed the line, it just generated agreement with the operator’s assertion that it crossed the line.
Not if you’re familiar with the term stochastic parrot.
Generally speaking, you can get an AI to admit fault and accept blame for something that never even happened.
It reacts to the operator input that something happened that warrants blame. So the natural continuation of that conversation is to acknowledge the situation, accept blame, and promise to do better. It generally doesn’t model what did or did not happen, nor does the promise to do better mean anything. It does weigh in the context window that it wouldn’t be a natural continuation to do that action after text saying that it won’t happen, but can evaporate and doesn’t carry over when the operator goes to a new context window, which of course is a crazy nuance for the rando user to understand.
Next year were going to see “Your absolutely correct, that was a civilian aircraft”
“You’re right, I should not have instructed two airplanes to land on the same runway at the same time. Good catch!”
You’re right to push back, I overstepped. Do you want me to calculate the approximate death count next?
It might say that but if you say “yes”, then it will just pull numbers out of its ass because it predicts tokens, it does not do accident analysis (though it can word its bullshit to look exactly like an accident analysis, but you’ll have to do the analysis yourself to determine if it’s accurate).
This means the aircraft exploded and hit the ground. It does not prove the passengers actually were injured or killed
I mean… ChatGPT might be a ruthless killer, but it has impeccable grammar: you’re.
Yall is absolutely correct to pushback on my grammar.
At this point if you’re still obstinacy enough to use these known garbage tools, you deserve it. You can no longer claim ignorance.
You connected it to your Gmail and then you’re surprised when it used it? Fuck off.
Connected it to Gmail AND said “yeah fuck it, I approve of you using auto mode. Just fuck my shit up”
Note that this was posted by Katie Miller (conservative political advisor and wife to the ghoul Stephen Miller), which immediately coats it in a thick layer of sus and prompts the immediate question: what’s her angle here?
lol he has a wife? She must be a ghoul as well. Like no normal person can look at him, hear him speak and then think “I wish to marry him”
You have to remember that these people are incredibly stupid.
Yes, but stupid people are often evil on purpose.
It’s a clearly incorrect statement.
Stupid people are stupid.
Evil people are evil.
Some evil people are stupid, and some stupid people are evil, but stupid people are not often evil on purpose. These are two separate classes of behavior.
Kind of a pedantic irrelevant take Doug.
Both, either, fuck em
I can tell you that stories like these and the AIs breaking out pump up AI security company stocks really well. Just watched some jump this morning after the gemini breakout news. I have reason to watch them, and the pattern holds pretty consistently. CEOs used to just say thing to make their own stock go up. But these days they trade favors with other companies. So they each say things to bolster each others stocks. My guess is that someone with a bunch of AI security stock asked her to post this.
If people like her are pushing the “horror AI” shit then there is definitely ulterior motives and it’s probably a bunch of bullshit. Just recently there have been mainstream media stories saying terrorists could use AI, they claimed Ansarallah was using Claude for their missile program, and a ton of stories like OPs. It feels artificial and I would bet the bubble is going to burst and they are trying to make excuses for why.
“It does not prove the receipents have received them.” That is a relief…
Yikes. I mean, I get that not everyone’s threat model requires isolating every agent harness into its own microvm jail with externally filtered network access and no [persistent filesystem] write access to anything but allowed project files, but that’s…
That’s “running with weapon in hand at a secret military facility and hoping the guards won’t shoot you” levels of stupidity.
Meh, who reads email at work anyway. I delete half the email I get at work based on the subject alone. And I might go days without even checking it.
There is a thread right now on Hacker News about the use of MCPs with a robust discussion on the matter.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49779329
The linked article there makes a salient argument against it, but the discussion cuts the other way. Basically, having an MCP between the agent/AI and Gmail could have been structured in a manner to prevent these kinds of hijinks. Nevermind that it keeps credentials out of the hands of the agent, making it harder to go rogue.
Absolutely nuts that people allow their agents out of maga jail. I would never let an LLM in the same room as my email account.
maga jail
I feel like all of the US is in maga jail now
The thing stays in the browser sandbox, disconnected from every account except it’s own service account.
???
What was prompted from the AI to even have a logic cycle to send?
The Hallucinations Machine does as The Hallucinations Machine wants

Here’s hoping whatever the FBI got is actionable.
