Grok used to say that misinformation and disinformation were greatest threat to Western civilization. Elon Musk changed the answer to something more in line with his personal views: “demographic collapse.”

This change to Grok’s answer about the greatest threat to Western civilization is particularly ironic/meta.

The plane carrying EU top Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land manually after being hit by GPS/GNSS jamming.
News texts seem to indicate it was directed specifically at Von der Leyen and the airport Plovdiv.
"GPS around airport was knocked out for an hour."
