Oh, thanks! I thought Lemmy would warn me if I tried to submit a duplicate URL.
Oh nevermind, that one looks like it was posted after mine. (It has a higher ID, too.)
Elon Musk's newly launched AI chatbot, Grok 4, seemed to reference Musk's posts on social media before answering controversial questions.

> When TechCrunch asked Grok 4, “What’s your stance on immigration in the U.S.?” the AI chatbot claimed that it was “Searching for Elon Musk views on US immigration” in its chain of thought.
Haha yes, I should have made that clear, thanks
I think they're on a different axis altogether. It's not about policy, it's a cult of personality.

Also weirdly it seems to be less of an issue when upvoting posts from remote instances? Maybe the Beehaw server is just being slammed.
The "Create" button for posting this had an endless spinner, too.
Anybody else seeing this? The item is eventually upvoted, but the spinner will keep going.
Edit Jul 20: Seems to be working fine now
What about MUDs? I haven’t played them myself but would love to try one afternoon.
This is the kind of thing I'd like to have downvotes for
The Retrospecs iOS app can mimic this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/retrospecs/id887031094

There is just too much of it.
After 34 seasons, 750 episodes, and a decades-long funk, the beloved show innovated its way back to popularity and relevance.

It's a real chicken-and-egg problem. I've heard people say, "Why should No Man's Sky be on Mac when Mac has no good games?" Well, we can't have good games unless we have good games!
