You do not make fun of people for things like their weight, height, voice, baldness, ancestry, etc.
Even if they are horrible people. That is not a get out of jail free card.
Pick something else. Preferably in the actions or thoughts zone.

I will be a forever hater of the term “cancel culture,” a truly epic tool of context collapse and reductionism that has only benefited the powerful. Folks are always using this term to talk about critique of a celebrity and social campaigns against the marginalized like they’re the same phenomenon.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you
