Musk has apparently manipulated Grok so much that it says he's a better athlete than LeBron James and a funnier comedian than Jerry Seinfeld.
Imagine being so insecure you need to program an LLM to boost you like that.

Six pro-Palestine prisoners are on hunger strike across UK prisons.
Their demands: the right to a fair trial, freedom from censorship, and the deproscription of Palestine Action.
They’re being punished for standing against genocide.
Their struggle is one of conscience — and solidarity. 🇵🇸
