I throw all my queries at Grok 4 Expert, GPT 5 Thinking and Opus 4.1 Extended Thinking.. for Golang it's been my experience that Grok produce the best results about 90% of the time as well. Some simple example: https://claude.ai/share/6d178173-cdf7-4e50-a467-73ee9f479d56 . https://chatgpt.com/share/69102735-46ac-8012-9cf0-0969585c86... . https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5LWNvcHk%3D_54b5f2f1-732e-4372... . I don't use Ge…

I used to think OpenAI was going to be the Yahoo of the AI wave, but might not even be that, maybe it's the AOL.

And from what it looks like to me Google is preparing to be the Google of the AI wave.

Come on, I would also never use Grok because Elon is an arsehole. He's not a neonazi though. That's ridiculous.

Does the internet move so fast that people have forgotten his Roman salute at the trump rally?

Why is he licking Israel boot is he's a neo nazi ?

It's almost as if being a piece of shit doesn't immediately make you a nazi, we should move on from ww2 era lingo, new things need new terms. When everyone is a fascist and a nazi no one is, and it weakens the original terms to the point of them being meaningless

There’s a candidate with a literal Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest and not one democrat condemned him or demanded he drop out. Guess his party affiliation.

So let’s just be clear that nobody is playing this fake outrage game anymore.

Who here actually uses Grok? It's sad to see Elon's arc but when he doubled down on some of his political ideas he had it coming with the Tesla sales going down and x.ai not taken seriously. I've always tried to remain apolitical and unbiased but it's hard to overlook who's behind a technology you wanna buy. Not that sama and others are saints either, it's just Elon's very obvious and vocal about it. It's a shame, re…

I like grok for noncoding stuff. I find it hasn't been tuned for "Safety" (meaning it isn't tuned much for political correctness). It also seems good at making images and stories up well. I run some choose your own adventures stories with my kids through it. We tell it who each of their characters are and what the theme is for the night and grok gives them each a section of story and 4 choices. They also have the opt…

> it isn't tuned much for political correctness

It was tuned to be edgy and annoying though (I mean his general style of speech not necessarily the content).

All propietary AIs are probably biased in some way. I mean, that is the power of them and the reason they're propietary, right?

So I tend to use different LLMs from different providers, personally compare them and read between the lines.

I don't think you can compare the usual internal backstabbing between executives with someone who literally directed and participated in acts of the US Government, and keep saying and doing things to help and nurture a certain side of the political spectrum.

Both do both.

Not to an even remotely same degree..

I feel compelled to point out that the Mechahitler thing was prompted by bad actors hiding invisible tokens in tweets, but sure, it's maybe an unpopular opinion. Basically, the major free options out there for LLMs are OpenAI, Google, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Meta, and Grok. (I could be missing stuff here, but those are the main players.) DeepSeek is out because of China ties. OpenAI and Perplexity have CEOs that seem i…

Yet the next level beyond “incredibly” somehow makes it alright again?

That proves he’s an edgy, drugged out jerk. Raising your hand in a certain way is not sufficient to be a nazi..

I do! I have felt bad vibes from OpenAI for a while now, and eventually defaulted to Grok as somewhat the lesser of many evils. I respect anybody who doesn't wish to use it, but it's good enough for what I need it for. Case in point: it just spit out valid OpenSCAD code for an adapter piece I want to 3D print.
