Hey @grok, why is every other post on X now "hey @grok". When did it become so blatant and why?

Nuclear power is the only way we can win AI and deal with the data center pushback. Why can't Trump push that?

What's the chance that @SenMcConnell's passing is announced conveniently on August 4th?

I vote conservative, so obviously I'm head-over-heels for Donald Trump. Couldn't possibly be the border. Or the courts. Or what groceries cost now. Or energy. Or schools. No - must be love. Here's what's actually going on: diagnosing millions of people is easier than debating them. "You just love Trump" isn't an argument. It's a way to skip the argument. And the irony writes itself; the side preaching tolerance and empathy can't seem to extend either one across the aisle. I didn't vote for a man. I voted for priorities. If the only way you can explain my ballot is blind devotion, that's a failure of your imagination and not my judgment. It's bigger than one man. Always was.

The current state of US politics.

There's a zoomed-in shot of the newspaper floating around that's crazy detailed. Makes no sense, because a source image with that kind of resolution doesn't exist anywhere. So I tested it. Ran the original through Topaz Gigapixel. Original on left, upscaled on right. Gigapixel uses AI, which means it makes shit up (technical term). It doesn't recover real detail, it invents detail that looks plausible. Now zoom in on the newspaper text in my upscaled version. Looks 'clear and legible' too, right? Same trick. There is zero chance the sharp zoomed-in version going around is real. It's AI-generated detail, not actual detail.

The dead can't read your celebration post. Everyone who ever trusted you can.

So Lindsey Graham dies and moments later Mitch McConnells team suddenly releases a proof of life photo. This whole fucking thing stinks to high heaven.

This is @RealCarrotTop doing his makeup regimen. 😂

It's going to be weird when Candace Owens just suddenly stops talking about Charlie Kirk.

There is a large subset of the population that thinks this way about AI.

California's voting system was designed to allow fraud. I believe the state is far more 50/50 leaning right than the Newsom/Pelosi crew will ever want you to know.
