Grok are the first models I am boycotting on purely environmental grounds. They built their datacenter without sufficient local power supply and have been illegally powering it with unpermitted gas turbine generators until that capacity gets built, to the significant detriment of the local population.

If thats the yard stick you should boycott everything coming out of china, which is pretty much everything, since they are one of the largest polluters globally.
