Nice to see this release cadence increasing and some continued improvement in quality. I am guessing these models are basically still outcomes of the cursor team integrating with the massive amount of compute they now own: I’d imagine we will see significant step up improvements with grok 5 later this year as the team gets more experienced and confident with larger training deployments. Here’s hoping for another competitive frontier model!

I'm curious if you feel the same about re-migration of Belgians from the Congo?
Personally I think it's fine for any country to vote to control immigration as they see fit. I think Japan is a good example of a relatively xenophobic culture that deals with this fairly and thoughtfully.

Can't say I've ever heard anyone implying that colonialists leaving Belgium was unjust. Colonialists is actually not the right word, more like extended occupation, only slightly better than the enslavement of the Leopold II era. The Belgian's were less than 1% of the population and all but an ancillary amount worked in exploiting the native population.
You're right, I don't care and I certainly didn't ask for your political opinion or validation. This is a tech news website, not the place for your false and unrelated political tirades.
Technology isn't apolitical. You can choose to ignore the politics if it helps you sleep at night, but Elon's got three-letter agencies reaching up his ass like he's a Sesame Street puppet.
I didn't miss anything. I'm telling the parent that they can choose to ignore it forever, it's a perfectly valid option.
The fact that Elon Musk's companies take contracts from the CIA and NRO is not flamebait. It's the lifeline of his company, strictly speaking.

is not "basic morality" - it's entirely false and/or an unprovable claim (and therefore extremely obviously can't be about morality), but was posted because the author was trying to incite political flamewars on HN, which again, is against the guidelines.
You should review them, because you clearly don't know what's in them.
Musk also shut down USAID for absolutely no reason at all which will cause the deaths of hundred of thousands of the poorest people in the world. Not a good look for the richest person in the world. Musk also sounds like a complete moron when he tries to justify why he did it.
Grok did ask its users what it thought about the right wing fever dream of genocide of white people in South Africa so its definitely relevant to one's consideration of the product.
You’re going to have to keep dealing with it, sorry to say, until you stop engaging with the work of a fascist. We’re not going away, and it’s just going to get worse.
Flamebait I guess but I think it is good we have several options to choose from already. If you don't like Elon there are several other models, and each can pick the one controlled by her favourite supervillain.

Irrelevant. HN is not the place to randomly inject flamewars about politics. It's explicitly against both the purpose and guidelines of HN.
Seems like you need to review the guidelines again, because they're pretty clear:
> Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
