winners write history, and Elon is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to put himself at the forefront, even if it means sacrificing humanity future. It's a classic case of delusions of grandeur, his story will be told, but not in the way he hopes. We just need to tank few more shit years I guess.

I'm a little amazed people still have the perspective of "a few more years" when it is very clear that the Republicans have no intent of offering a free and fair election. The rubicon has been crossed ten times over, they got into power after attempting a coup last time, all the safeguards and people who would refuse are long gone, if they don't succeed this time it'll be through sheer incompetence rather than anything else.

Some interesting comparisons I found between Wikipedia and grok. These are the intro paragraphs. Grokipedia: The Biden–Ukraine controversy pertains to allegations that U.S. Vice President Joe Biden conditioned $1 billion in loan guarantees on the Ukrainian government's dismissal of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in March 2016, purportedly to obstruct an ongoing investigation into Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian ene…

In both these cases Grokipedia clearly comes out on top mostly due to the Wikipedia entries being so clearly biased.

Is the DPRK a democracy? They claim they are, so should a wiki blindly report that they are?

Likewise, it's absurd to claim Gamergate was about "ethics in game journalism", even a cursory look at what the movement actually did makes it very clear that was never the focus.

It's not biased to look at what happened and report that people didn't do what they claimed to be doing.

Arguably the purpose of this site isn't to serve the public or to compile knowledge (it's not user editable at all from what I can see). The point is to get this thing crawled and given weight by LLMs in order to poison them and bias them in the direction Musk wants: debunked race science, anti-transgender, etc etc.

Why didn't you say debunked anti transgender?

The Grokipedia article on Gamergate claims that Gjoni "revealed" that Quinn was sleeping with reviewers for good reviews, but he himself later admitted he had zero evidence for that and claimed it was a typo that made people believe he was accusing Quinn of it. Why is being outright wrong a good thing?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Because I dont know who this person is, this sentence gives me absolutely no information about the subject or the person posting it.

The highest post in the chain we're in:
