    elon is running grok off of generators causing air pollution in south memphis. he is also cooling the computers with the clean memphis sands aquifer drinking water instead of greywater from the plant that he promised to build but hasn’t.

    please do not use grok. it is poisoning the city of memphis.

      Maybe I’m an idiot but does computing power for something like this come from just one location?

        It’s a pretty large datacenter. The power consumption is that of a small to medium sized city.

          And it’s just pumping out methane nonstop, and especially in a poorer community whereas NIMBY’s would never let this fly in their backyard

    Even when Grok roasts Elon with facts, it does still resort to ending certain topics with “but both sides do it” as well.

    Generative AI would be completely worthless if people quit believing all the bullshit it spits out. Critical thinking is the anti-weapon for weaponized AI.

    Why would anyone think these things are actually objective or intelligent in any way? Why would anyone think that they couldn’t be weaponized?
