    With Grok, Grokipedia aims for maximum truth through first principles and physics.

    Fuck you.

    Grokipedia aims for maximum truth through first principles and physics. It replaces partially masked evidences of how legacy media operates, rewriting with complete accurate context that cuts through the BS.

    Christ, these people are so fucking stupid. Can’t wait to see how Nazi autocomplete solves the problem of induction.

    Also, ‘fun’ fact. The second result for first principles on ddg is a blog post by a self-help guru sucking Musk off so hard you’d think they’re being held at gun point.

        I agree, but I really do think it’s coupled with an (un)healthy dose of stupidity and delusion. These “free thinkers” really do think you can just pull knowledge out of the air from “first principals”, whatever the fuck that even means in their context. They are completely ignorant that we arrived at our current scientific understanding by countless people stumbling over countless invalid theorems, not to mention piles of peer review and hard work. And chances are most of what we think we know is wrong anyway!

      Going on the Grok output, I saw: Conservapedia with more uses of the word fuck (it can now use the word fuck), extremely verbose mid insults and weird flirting.

      Guillotines don’t work in space, that’s why billionaires are so obsessed with going there.

        I’m sure explosive bolts or similar could take the place of gravity if needed.

    For it to be authentic, they need multiple bots arguing on Talk pages and undoing each other’s edits.

    So… They’re going to use the bot trained on wikipedia to rewrite wikipedia. Very much a Pierre Menard type situation.
