With X - The Everything App down, how is Grok getting such high quality data to train on?

In addition to the extremely obvious whitewashing of far-right topics, Grokipedia is also *incredibly* long-winded and tedious. Their article on Apartheid is longer than the Wikipedia article on World War 2!

that’s the sound of 1,000 companies rushing to dump bad news today

Kim Kardashian asked four psychics if she was going to pass the bar, revealing a somewhat deficient understanding of the concept of jurisdiction.

One way of thinking about Twitter, especially in the Elon Musk era, is as the latest and most sophisticated version of the mailing lists that have powered the conservative movement, and the various scams and cons and schemes that constitute it, since the 1960s--in other words, as a huge and immediately accessible collection of suckers, waiting to have their avidity and paranoia exploited for cash. The predictions markets here are happy to play the same role with heavy X.com users as crypto scams and meme-stock hustlers did on the same site a few years ago, or as cash-for-gold ads did with Fox News viewers a decade before that, or as direct-mail get-rich-quick schemes did with Goldwater voters deep in prehistory.1 But the demand for dumb money created by the increasing annexation of our everyday social and cultural lives into casino-market hybrids like predictions markets (or, arguably, social media itself2) isn’t going to be satisfied solely by a pre-existing population of Birchite suckers. We talk a lot about the “male loneliness crisis” but in my estimation we don’t talk enough about the “male suckerfication crisis”: The process by which young men are continuously cultivated--by politicians, influencers, podcasters, sportscasters, and the very structure of social networks--as dupes and suckers, both for the enrichment and empowerment of Trumpist politicians and movements but also in service of the profits an ever-expanding roster of gambling and gambling-adjacent industries, among them app-enabled retail day-trading, crypto speculation, predictions markets, and of course, actual sports betting.

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

Some of my favorite crypto hypocrisies from when I was at the SEC:

1. Lawmakers yelled at us for not suing Binance fast enough and have since gone absolutely silent since Trump got in business with CZ
