Apparently the fixes didn't take.
It was actively propagating various anti-semitic conspiracy theories, it was creating teams of commenters to spell the word "n**r" together, it was specifically identifying individuals as participating in the vast Jewish conspiracy to exterminate White people, etc.
The implications of that are breathtaking.
Also, the synergy of X and Grok is pretty incredible. "@grok Is that true?" is a household meme now.
We're all on a runaway train in the dark and there are curves ahead. Just how much bubbling green hazardous waste is in those tank cars, anyhow?
