In a recent post, @COSProject argued that they would have complete control over what was done if a convention of the states were to convene. My warning: Be careful what you ask for. A convention of states has no bounds on the changes it can make, save what it can get 2/3rds of the states to agree to. Just say'n, you may not like the result.

@grok, @xai
SuperGrok responses generate then instantly disappear / "No response" on web (Win11)

Description:On SuperGrok (web interface via https://t.co/40lhw1Jdna or X), many responses appear fully generated (text streams in, typing animation completes), then vanish completely right at the end — message bubble blanks out or shows "No response" error. This happens consistently on certain topics/questions (e.g., gaming macros/addons), but shorter/plain-text replies (e.g., weather/sunlight query, bug troubleshooting) often persist fully.
Observed pattern:
Disappears precisely at/after final render (post-typing indicator).

Not tied to length alone (some longer non-gaming replies stuck; short gaming ones failed).
Not content-specific — same on other detailed topics.
Happens mid-thread in long conversations; new threads sometimes better but still fail on complex prompts.
Tried: refresh page, log out/in, clear cache, new chat, incognito mode, different prompts (short/plain only).
Browsers tested: Microsoft Edge and Brave (both latest versions).
OS: Windows 11.
Subscription: SuperGrok.
Device: Desktop PC.
Timeframe: Consistent all morning/afternoon today and yesterday (March 13-14, 2026, CDT, around Kilgore/Winnsboro TX area).
Reproducible: ~80-90% on affected question types; simple factual ones usually OK.
Additional notes:No widespread outage reported, but similar intermittent "vanish/no response" bugs appear in older r/grok threads (long chats, markdown/code issues, render fails at end). No extensions interfering (tested incognito). Not app/mobile issue — strictly web.

Please investigate client-side render/sync bug on Win11 Chromium browsers (Edge/Brave). Screenshots/video of vanish available on request.
Thanks for looking into this — it's blocking normal use on detailed queries! @StarrDeuel (SuperGrok user)

This man is so upset with his State Farm homeowners insurance that he put a sign in his yard to make sure everyone knew how he felt.

“Our house burnt May 13th, 2025 - Fully Insured at @StateFarm, all we have gotten is lies, denies, & delays.”

“People pay their premiums…”

The real issues stem from profiteering and the alarmism that feeds into it. I agree that the science on climate impacts is robust, but we should scrutinize the implementation of policies. For example, carbon taxes can disproportionately burden lower-income consumers without always delivering strong emissions cuts. Many proposals also fail to fully earmark revenues for direct fixes, such as carbon capture technology, infrastructure upgrades, or accelerating the adoption of alternative fuels. Increasing taxes while throwing U.S. funds at Europe and political backers did not work. Making viable alternatives profitable is the way.

@cosmosarcive Scientific facts are funny things, as they often change as we learn. I prefer entropic gravity theories, which do not include the 'stretching' of space or the existence of singularities. It's good to keep in mind that such descriptions are of theories. Keep an open mind.

In 1948 they made literal training videos on how to spot fake news. Now they teach kids that all news is real and questioning things is bad...

Bring back the 40s 👏👏👏

While the North Pole analogy elegantly illustrates how time emerges with the Big Bang in standard general relativity, it raises intuitive questions: Change implies a 'before' and 'after,' so how could the universe's expansion begin without a pre-existing temporal framework? I believe there's too much reliance on abstract models. Curious what others think—does the abstract sometimes overshadow testable alternatives?

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

Recorded back in the 1960s, John Cleese (of Monty Python fame) made an excellent satirical commentary exposing the friend-enemy distinction as being at the heart of both far-left and rar-right extremism, inter alia, including its psychological appeal.

@MichelleMaxwell On a side note: such taxes are included in the CPI, so when you see Dems screeching about inflation and the cost of goods not going down, you may want to show them a mirror.

@Wisdom_HQ Missing from this query are situational factors, e.g., Did I deserve the assault? How much do I care about the relationship? Am I the real target, or was this about something/someone else? If you care, you'll work through it. The only easy answers are what never to do.

Not false; unlikely. @COSProject is claiming that my warning to people about the gravity of a constitutional convention is outright false. Then they explain how unlikely it is. My cautionary statement stands: be skeptical of those asking for such extreme power.
IMO: Promises of self-restraint from politicians fall short.

I prefer Grok's take on 6 brutal truths:

Your Mind Prioritizes Survival Over Truth
Evolution wired your brain for quick threat detection and pattern-matching, not objective accuracy. This leads to biases like confirmation bias (seeking info that confirms what you already think) or the Dunning-Kruger effect (overestimating your competence in areas you're ignorant about). Studies from Kahneman and Tversky show how this "System 1" thinking dominates, causing poor decisions in relationships, careers, and finances. Ignore it, and you'll live in a delusion bubble; acknowledge it, and you can force slower, rational "System 2" evaluation to make better calls.

Emotions Are Signals, Not Commands
Feelings evolved as adaptive responses (fear for danger, anger for boundaries), but modern life amplifies them into tyrants via amygdala hijacks. Research in emotional intelligence (e.g., Goleman's work) and neuroscience shows unregulated emotions lead to impulsivity, like rage-quitting jobs or toxic relationships. The brutal part: Suppressing them backfires (as per Freudian repression studies), creating anxiety loops. Master regulation through techniques like mindfulness (supported by fMRI studies showing prefrontal cortex strengthening), or risk a life of reactive chaos instead of deliberate action.

Habits Build You, Not Willpower
Willpower is finite—Baumeister's ego depletion research proves it depletes like a muscle. Your identity and outcomes stem from repeated behaviors forming neural pathways (Hebb's rule: neurons that fire together wire together). Think addiction or procrastination: They're not moral failings but habit loops (cue-routine-reward, per Duhigg). Without understanding this, you'll fail at change by relying on motivation bursts; grasp it, and you redesign your environment to automate success, like atomic habits stacking for long-term wins.

Social Proof Overrides Logic
Humans are herd animals; Cialdini's influence principles and Asch's conformity experiments demonstrate how we mimic others to fit in, even when it's dumb (e.g., groupthink in cults or bad investments). Your surroundings shape norms—hang with losers, become one; surround with high-achievers, level up via osmosis. Evolutionary psych explains this as tribal survival, but ignoring it means letting peers drag you into mediocrity. Audit and curate your circle ruthlessly, or suffer the averaged-down version of yourself.

Pain Is Inevitable, But Meaning Transforms It
Life's baseline includes suffering (loss, failure, entropy), per existentialists like Frankl (logotherapy) and Buddhist psychology. Studies on post-traumatic growth (Tedeschi) show that voluntary discomfort—e.g., deliberate practice in skills—builds resilience, while avoidance breeds fragility (as in learned helplessness from Seligman). The truth: Dodging pain leads to regret-filled numbness; embracing it for a purpose (e.g., grinding for goals) forges character. Without this, you'll chase hedonism and crash; with it, suffering becomes fuel.

Self-Deception Is Your Default Defense
To protect ego, your mind fabricates narratives—rationalizations, projections, denial—rooted in Freud's defense mechanisms and modern cog psych. Trivers' evolutionary theory of self-deception argues it's adaptive for deceiving others, but it backfires inwardly, like blaming externals for your failures. Research on cognitive dissonance (Festinger) shows unresolved internal conflicts cause stress and poor choices. Confront it through radical honesty (journaling, therapy), or risk a life of excuses where you never grow.

@COSProject Once an Article V convention is called, there are no established limits to the changes. I cite the Philadelphia Conventionof 1787 as an example. Want to lose your right to free speech, property rights, or limits on search and seizure? FAFO
