tbh I wouldn't give Elon a dime even if Grok was miles better than competition.

Would you give one to Sam, Mark, or Sundar?

Feel like the canary was when Grokpedia became a project. Giant waste of time while Anthropic/OAI keep surging forward. I also keep hearing this narrative that Twitter is a good data source, but I cannot imagine it's a valuable dataset. Sure keeping up with realtime topics can be useful, but I am not sure how much of a product that is.

Twitter's communication style being based around brevity, slang, memes, spam and non-threaded conversations seems particularly unlikely to be helpful for optimising LLMs

This depends on what one wants to optimize the AI for. ;-)

Why?

Because Elon is a criminal scam artist and a horrifying racist who seems to be completely detached from reality.

if it weren't for HN i would get a glimpse how life is on bluesky

I really wish the days of kindergarten where we were taught if you didn't have anything nice to say about someone, don't say it at all.

Elon is such a clown, he keeps posting salty tweets about Anthropic, Claude Code, OpenAI and Codex yet has no competing product.

He's about to have the most compute. Wonder if he can do anything noteworthy with it.

None of these guys literally has the blood of millions of people on their hands.

Elon’s gutting of USAID (and you can argue they would have done it anyways but he chose to be the executioner) will kill millions of people every year who otherwise would not have died.

Not only will I never give him a dime, I want him prosecuted and deported.
