Grok3 could be leagues ahead of anything else in the game and yet a large portion of the western population would never use it due to its owners antics.
Most people have no idea who the CEO of the various tech companies are and don't care.

Don't overestimate the size of that portion.

Same as OpenAI paying Apple to integrate ChatGPT with Siri/iPhone. Apple has the users. As does Telegram. Of course, non-paying users are a loss-leader, but some portion of them will convert to premium users. They’re paying for distribution. And maybe mindshare.
OpenAI is not paying Apple though. Only money exchange that happens is the cut Apple takes of the subscriptions.

I honestly don't care about the technical capabilities of the tool when I know it's being actively mismanaged. Incidentally, have you got a moment to talk about the white genocide in south africa?
> "Incidentally, have you got a moment to talk about the white genocide in south africa?" Is this some sort of joke, or are you genuinely wanting to discuss what's happening here in South Africa? If it's a joke, I think it's in very poor taste at the expense of a persecuted minority. I have seen it, experienced it, and know full well how real it is, no matter how much social-media pushes it one way or the other.

What I could find is that iPhone users get it for free regardless:

> The ChatGPT integration, powered by GPT‑4o, will come to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS later this year. Users can access it for free without creating an account, and ChatGPT subscribers can connect their accounts and access paid features right from these experiences.

Wow, a Musk rant. So original and refreshing. Meanwhile pedos are actually just on Facebook and Instagram and not even hiding: https://www.wsj.com/tech/instagram-vast-pedophile-network-4a...

#88Grok relaying your queries to certain agencies won't add much, but it will be interesting to see what bias Grok will exhibit on Telegram.

#89Feels oh so telling that xAI has to pay Telegram and not the other way around. If these offerings were so great wouldn't we all be clamoring for it?
It's the next logical step after companies shoving AI into every corner of their own products regardless of whether their users want it - now they're paying other companies to shove AI things into their products regardless of whether their users want it. Genuine user interest doesn't come close to justifying their insane valuations so they have to put their thumb on the scale by shoving it everyones face and then pre…
