I see Grok appearing in many places, such as Perplexity, Cursor etc. I can't believe any serious company would even consider using Grok for any serious purposes, knowing who is behind it, what kind of behaviour it has shown, and with findings like these.

You have to swallow a lot of things to give money to the person who did so much damage to our society.

If he creates the best AI and you don't use it because you don't like him, aren't you doing him a favor by hobbling your capability in other areas? Kind of reminds me of the Ottoman empire rejecting the infidel's printing press, and where that led.

It's like being in 1936 and arguing there's nothing wrong in dealing with the nazis if it gives you an edge. Wouldn't you do them a service not buying their goods? It's absurd.

I, for one, would have preferred a 1936 where they had an AI that could call out Hitler's rise to power and impending genocide while it was still the socially dangerous thing to do.
