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?
> In April 1933, the government announced a national census to identify Jews, Roma, and other groups. Black reports that Dehomag offered its services in Prussia and that Watson approved new investments, raising IBM’s capital in Germany from 400,000 to 7 million Reichsmarks. The funds financed IBM’s first German factory in Berlin. Black also describes a “secret deal” between Watson and Heidinger giving Dehomag authority to serve IBM clients outside Germany, and argues that Germany soon became IBM’s second-largest market. He states that the 1933 census, using IBM machines, raised the official estimate of Jews in Germany from roughly half a million to about two million.
since learning this fact, i have boycotted IBM (not that it's particularly hard, they're not the giant they once were)
So you don't use anything Linux related in any form or fashion, whose devs are on IBM's paychecks, or owned by IBM like Red-Hat?

Far worse than anything Musk has done.
Have you ever heard of Boycott? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott
To be fair I don’t act all surprised when someone who has never signaled approval of my boycott doesn’t comply with it.

Beautifully encapsulated whataboutism, well done
