There's an actual truth out there and it's not particularly hard to find--vaccines are safe and effective. And it matters that the truth be represented as the truth and not just someone's opinion.

Journalists are supposed to care about facts. It's a fact that RFK Jr. believes vaccines cause autism, but it's also a fact that vaccines do not, in fact, cause autism, documented in plenty of studies. When you cast it as "scientists' opinions" vs. "RFK's opinions" you devalue factual evidence.

Grok gave me a side by side comparison of how Elon Musk would improve upon Jeffrey Epstein's private island logistics, including how he would avoid getting caught.

Not alt-txting that one bc Jesus Christ

I'm not--grok is also available as a standalone website, which I have only ever used just now.

What this shows yet again is that DHS's "official version" of events simply shouldn't be believed without verification. In video after video, claims made by DHS officers and DHS itself were shown not to have occurred at all — or to have occurred in a substantially different way than first described.

you do not under any circumstances gotta hand it to Grok, but I do enjoy that whatever prompt hacks Musk put in place apparently got criss-crossed enough with this prompt that Grok thinks he's on track to win Biggest Douche in the Universe soon.
