please do not use grok.

because the power draw is so heavy, the power supply to the building where grok lives is being supplemented with generators. grok is polluting the air over memphis. AND grok is being cooled with 1.5 million gallons per day of the city’s drinking water from the memphis sands aquifer instead of from the water treatment plant they promised to build but didn’t.

please do not use grok.

It’s important to note that Grok is not a reliable source of information about why it was taken offline

Yeah, it's also important to note that Grok is a reliable source of information about fuck all.

Think about the number of articles they can write considering the infinity of random shit an LLM can output.

Hey remember when we thought satire was dead and it can’t get more on the nose?

Clearly this is the line right? /s

How would Grok even know?

[–] nurple@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

It wouldn't, it's just regurgitating plausible bullshit per usual.
