Great Jim. My first thought in reading the Grok responses was that it reminded me of old school bathroom stall graffiti.

This would be hilarious if it it weren't so dystopian. That "rogue employee" excuse? Was that a typo? Rogue employer is more likely the reason behind Grok's amped up racism. So Grok is to be to Elon what Barron (Trump's fake alias for himself) was to Trump.

Boycotting and not using anything Musk is my choice until there is an AI version of prosecutorial crime fighter Letitia James or sassy get-all-up in your face Jasmine Crockett or E. Jean Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan that is developed by someone other than the obsessed Mars freak.

Very interesting conversation. Haven't been on xTwitter much lately. Never see anything from those I follow. Including you.

Grok sounded a lot like my former best friend who I cut off for being a Musk groupie.

"Other frontrunners include a team at the University of Kyoto and a California-based startup, Conception Biosciences, whose Silicon Valley backers include the OpenAI founder, Sam Altman and whose CEO told the Guardian that growing eggs in the lab “might be the best tool we have to reverse population decline” and could pave the way for human gene editing."

Only I commenting but not so interesting to me. He's not the regime and it's the official regime's activities and goals that concern me every day. Musk to me is just a distraction this month. If it seems that he's using his money and/or X to hijack the midterms, I'll call it out then. Today I'm very taken with the Democratic bill to ban ICE employees masking & requiring them to wear visible identifers in public.

Think of Grok as an informant on the inside for Jim.

I get it. But he’s got the brains of hundreds of millions of people connected to his AI. It affects everything.
