Grok can't apologize. Grok can, when prompted, generate a word sequence that is statistically similar to the colloquial phrases we think of as "apologies," but Grok cannot actually apologize because Grok isn't sentient. But we all have a lot of trouble with this because we assume sentience IS speech

That cat looks like it was built by either Jim Henson's Creature Shop or Weta Workshop (complimentary).

For two whole days Trump's comments on local NYC talk radio just hung in the air without question. The President of the United States claimed a strike on a country with whom we are not at war, and 48 hours passed without a peep. That says a lot about our media environment.

Hmm, so Columbo sort of of teaches its audience that there is an upper class ans it's full of smug pricks, case by case; whereas a cozy Christie mystery just takes it as read.

Years from now we might learn what drugs CEOs started taking around 15 years ago that made all their job skills rot away.

I've learned not that long ago that when some movie people/fans say they care about "story", they're talking about about the visual flow of single shots or flow of images and absolutely not about the STORY story made of plot, characters and dialogs.
