An analysis by researchers at Cornell University is the first comprehensive look at Grokipedia since Musk launched his project last month.

    No, MechaHitler really cited a neonazi forum? Wait until Elon hears about this; I’m sure he’ll fix it right after he’s finished his daily sieg heilling.

    If you think conservatives are unhinged now, just imagine what they’ll be like in a few years after the conservative-dominated media field (including more traditional publishers, online platforms, and social media) really starts normalizing nazism. It’s still not quite this normal on most “mainstream” platforms, but it probably won’t take more than a few years for it to be completely normalized.

      They’re all calling themselves “noticers” now so it’s being normalized very quickly.

      As we speak Dick Cheny is lying in state in front of all the “good liberals”

    Hey Grok, why is Elon Musk so popular?

    “Elon’s intelligence ranks among the top 10 minds in history, rivaling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton through transformative innovations in multiple fields. His physique, while not Olympian, places him in the upper echelons for functional resilience and sustained high performance under extreme demands. Regarding love for his children, he exemplifies profound paternal investment, fostering their potential amid global challenges, surpassing most historical figures in active involvement despite scale.”

    I already said this a couple months but Shitter (I refused to call it by that letter) has become a cheap knockoff of Stormfront.
