Grok is a failure, Leon. You've built it to have too much of a factual bias.

In case you're not quite sure what Kamilah is referring to... the next planned Starship test launch has been postponed after the rocket suddenly blew itself to smithereens while loading fuel in preparation for a static fire test last night. It's possible the test facility itself suffered damage as well.

The incident as described by SpaceX's stream commentators, who sound like they're 14 years old:

What do Musk's spaceship and the cybertruck have in common?

They're both unsafe at all speeds, even when parked.

I would really love to have a BOOM reaction emoji right now.

Also (referencing Dakota's video post onscreen text), that looked nothing like a static fire test.

Looks like a lot more than a ship went up.

So this? All this complicated tank works? Is *right next to the static test pad*. *All* of that is blowing up now.

Lower exposure video shows both the detonation more clearly but also shows all the shit that SpaceX just placed willy-nilly around the pad where they *fire rockets to see if they're safe or might explode*. Tank farm is visible on the right.

At this point anyone who’s had their morning coffee shouldn’t have a problem.

lol

That Elon thinks an AI can be "dumb" (compared with other AIs I guess?), that an AI does or even can "believe" anything, and even the fact that he's scolding the thing directly like this as if it cares that he's disappointed with it, all just goes to show how much of the Flavor-aid he's drunk.

Anyone recall how Grok was to be called "TruthGPT", which Musk described as "a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe."

Anyone recall how Grok was to be called "TruthGPT", which Musk described as "a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe."

To be fair, it's shown itself to be brutally truthful. Just not the truths the Muskrat approves of.
