You’ve either been under a rock for the last few years, or this is a really poor attempt at the Socratic method.
guess I've been under a rock. I avoid a lot of corp media. I know about the DOGE thing, but that seems like a pretty weird reason to hate the guy.

Elon publicaly claimed he had never corresponded with Epstein. that was a lie. When the documents were released they found several like thie one below. Saying things like "What day/night will be the wildest party on =our island?" [0] The "our" part is especially interesting as it implies he didnt just visit, but had an ownership stake. Other emails were found with Epstein making excuses to avoid having Musk visit, an…
The =s that are scattered throughout the files are characters that have been replaced due to improper parsing. Wherever you see a =, it has taken the place of another character. The best interpretation of the string "=our" is "your".

Go on...make your case
VW was established by the nazis and was so excited at the conflict in Gaza they converted a factory into a missile factory recently to help the side that killed more journalists than in any other recorded conflict.
Grok 4.3 is a unique model in our tests. It's one of the fastest models, and its responses are far smaller/token dense than other models with comparable performance. However, its overall coding reasoning ability is not competitive with the big April releases, and neither Grok 4.20 nor Grok 4.3 have been able to significantly push the intelligence frontier since Grok 4. Grok 4.3 is better in agentic workloads, and a f…
Any possibility that there could be a compromise in making it work seemingly well (benchmarks around this?) with post-knowledge-cutoff information, which appears to be their primary use case for it?

My searches have not turned up a result showing that Musk "claimed he had never corresponded with Epstein". Can you source this? If not, can you explain why you did not check it before you posted the inaccurate claim?
He did NOT claim never to have corresponded with Epstein. Instead he claimed that Epstein asked him to go the island and he refused. The files show the opposite to be true.
Still an absolutely enormous lie of the sort you would only tell if guilty.
Here it is in his own words. See above for one of several examples in the files illustrating how very untrue it is.

Starting to like the lack of memory. Claude remembers I have a grill and will interject in conversations about how maybe this thing would go well with BBQ when it's unrelated or just also about food.
This is so obnoxious. I ended up deleting all the memory from Gemini because it ended every response with, "As an engineer, father of X, you'll love this because...". As if I want my occupation and the number of children I have to be relevant to which lawn mower I buy.

She does herself a disservice by outsourcing that skill. One day she might have to actually talk to one of these people.
She's 50 years old has a doctorate in pharmacy and has worked as a hospital pharmacist for two decades. I don't say this as a "gotcha", but more that even with all that experience she still finds it beneficial and helpful.
It appears Hacker News disagrees that social skills are valuable skills. Mea culpa, I should have guessed.

Yeah I don’t think he’s a pedophile either.. but I do think he’s okay with consorting with a known one because it would provide him access to young women. His history of dating and impregnating young women is well known and while not illegal is pretty gross imo. The flight attendant is only one of many accusations at SpaceX… https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64641805/
I don’t think that makes much sense, surely as a billionaire you don’t need to consort with Epstein to meet women around 25 years old. That link seems to report on the same single WSJ article that mostly alleges workplace power-balance issues, referencing unnamed women, none of whom have come forward to publicly accuse Musk of misconduct. It‘s also fairly thin imo. Maybe Musk‘s conduct is more gross than I believe, b…
I dont think it's "jumping to conclusions" to say that SOMETHING unsavory happened.
Do you know what the term for someone who parties with a pedophile is? Pedophile.
No normal person would tolerate it.

All my usage of Grok for technical topics shows it regularly deeply misunderstanding things and just parroting back my question in fancy language. It’s the only frontier model I get this impression of. That makes it super annoying when it tries to market itself as good at engineering tasks when it seems (to me) to be much worse at them.
Interesting. I have not had this experience. I would like to learn more. Can you point me to any examples or domains where I might be able to replicate this?
Though yeah the edgelord-y style faded after I criticized it a couple times.
As an English-as-second-language speaker and writer, one thing Grok really shines at is capturing the tone and level of "formality" of a piece of text and the replicating it correctly. It seems to understand the little human subtleties of language in a way the other major providers don't. Chatgpt goes overly stiff and formal sounding, or ends up in a weird "aye guvnor" type informal language (Claude is sometimes bett…
anecdata: The responses of grok on X in my language are really good. the tone, sarcasm, level of "vulgarity" in response is so accurate that it seem its written by human
