Makes you wonder if maybe musk has a prototype neuralink in _his_ head. Might explain a lot of craziness on both his part, and Grok’s, and the botswarms on X. ---

Maybe. _Time_ was pretty clear their editorial policy slant was just theirs. To the degree Grok is masquerading as 10s of thousands of ordinary citizens, or induces 10s of thousands of real himans to repeat it’s words as their own, that is a new and more dangerous development. Online info consumers seem especially prone to _not_ consider the source. Which source is often 27-generations removed from what they’re directly reading. Grazing a feed where every 2 paragraphs is by a different author really facilitates that intellectually lazy approach. ---

I don’t really understand your post. Is it evidence of Grok’s anti-Semitism? And are you suggesting that Grok invented this individual radical leftist celebrating, or is that a real person? If real, I assume Grok has also mischaracterized events? I can’t imagine that radical leftists are actually celebrating children’s deaths, though you never know about people. ---

Is this a parody of Grok, or is this real? Because if it’s real, I think Elmo is overdosing big time on hallucinogens. ---

[Here](https://countylocalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Writers-Shocking-Call-for-Floods-After-Texas-Tragedy-%E2%80%94-protests.jpg) is an image of Cindy Steinberg’s post. It is rather inflammatory, though her sentiment might be understandable to some in these difficult times (I do comprehend what she seems to be feeling, though I would not be spewing that sort of hostility).        There is a Cindy Steinberg who dominates the top of search results, but I suspect she is a different person. ---

JFC, apparently Elmo is deeply involved in the conspiratorial world ensuring that no one can easily separate fact from fiction any more, and in addition to turning Xitter into a white supremacist hangout, is apparently training Grok to be a like-minded Nazi, **regardless** of the veracity of the last couple of cites. ---
