And while we are on conspiracy theories; I had another conversation with that insipid #Grok program and it agreed (after denying it) that it’s only there to placate people. The mis/disinformation it creates from conjecture and Reddit postings and presents them as facts is boggling. I saw a post yesterday that when I went to investigate was absolutely wrong. When I confronted the program and pointed out the flaws it said it would correct itself and I had nothing further to worry about. Then I had a friend today while he was driving his Tesla ask Grok (which comes with the car) the exact same question and Grok answered exactly the same giving the wrong information. When I went back to Grok today it finally revealed that it cannot learn at all and that it’s programmed to appease you (and lie to you to assure you it is learning when it cannot.) It cannot even fill in a support ticket to let the developers know the issues so it can learn to give correct answers.
When I asked what could be done; it said to send an email to [email protected] (which after I asked if real people answer it; Grok said it’s AI and would take a lot to get to an actual Human.) I find that a bit disappointing that it appeases but cannot correct mistakes and uses crazy people’s diatribes on Reddit, X, blogs and weirdly enough lawsuit filings. It mixes them together and presents amalgamated conjecture as facts that people will believe but have no basis in truth.😵💫🤯 #fixgrokordumpit
“You’re gonna punch me?”
“Yeah”
“Then you’re gonna in trouble for that”
“Okay”
Followed by this frame is one of the hardest things I’ve seen on the internet this week.
Today, students at my high school in Chicago held an Anti-ICE protest.
I was the only one that decided to hold a sign that said ‘I Love ICE’.
Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted — Just for standing up for law enforcement.

@mmpadellan I wouldn't be surprised if people from Finland, Sweden or Denmark think of the US as a "shithole country". Imagine losing liveable wages and universal healthcare.
