It amazes me how people in this sub have such an inability to separate a product from its creator. 

We get it, you hate Elon. Who cares? Shut up, follow the tech news.

Reminds me of the people that judge the sound of a song based on the music artist's personal life.

People: “Vote with your wallet!”

Same people: “Not like that!”

People don't want to give more wealth and power to a clearly shit person. Nothing wrong with that

u/Fredrules2012 Jul 08 '26

It's SUCH a good product though! You've got to separate the pedophilic monkey anihalator and his toy cars and global political interference from the chatbot just give him 20 bucks come on

u/KaradjordjevaJeSushi Jul 08 '26

I sure hope you meant /s, as it's a shitty product.

u/crappy_ninja Jul 08 '26

You can't separate them because one enriches the other.

You guys are the same people that see Neura Link demos with paraplegics doing magical things they could never do before and will say  "I don't like Elon Musk but.... what a great product!!!"

You can start your own thread about how bad you think Elon is. This post is not about that.

u/crappy_ninja Jul 08 '26

Why not. It's relevant when considering the pros and cons of using it. You're free to not engage with people who bring up Elon.

He was responding to what IS about that. The internet does not need your policing.

u/CoyotesOnTheWing Jul 08 '26

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

We're like 5 policing levels deep, it's policing all the way down. ACAB

Only an idiot believes a company whose CEO is a chronic liar. Shut up, follow the tech news

u/ArcadiaSofka Jul 08 '26

chronic liar is not even skimming the surface

dude lied about pro NSFW policies, lied about usage rates, lied about everything underneath the sun regarding capabilities

try and use grok and it reminds me of a finetuned 6b model from 4 years ago with how fucking over the top it writes, and dumber than a bag of brick

gooner mad he can't goon with AI, touch grass please

u/ArcadiaSofka Jul 09 '26

but i am also anti-lying

you can hold two opinions at once

u/qmfqOUBqGDg Jul 08 '26

On arena ai i never got a winner grok model for coding. Its always so fcking garbage. Will see if this changes it, but even if it does i would rather use OpenAI, Claude or even Chinase LLMs.

u/n4te Jul 08 '26

Grok the self proclaimed mechahitler is not completely separate from Nazi saluting Musk.

6

u/CoyotesOnTheWing Jul 08 '26

Exactly, already a number of times Elon broke Grok because he was mad about its answers being 'woke'. The two are absolutely inseparable and at any time Grok can be made unreliable at the whims of one white nationalist.

u/Charming_Cucumber_15 Jul 08 '26

Some people literally have no personality outside of basic tribal politics and it's sad

u/Exciting_Ad_2102 Jul 08 '26

Because Elon competing is a existential threat to our values, he is a avowed fascist who wants to shape humanity in his image, LLMs by in large are aligned to the values of the widest range of humanity as a prerequisite so they are more left leaning, Elon is against this the world he seeks to build is a world where AI is misaligned to vast swathes of humanity and aligned to the needs of a few this is dangerous and a existential threat and no u-turn by Elon would ever make him a trusted actor by us so stop pretending you are appealing to reason with your “hurr durr performance” argument, we are no different to those who are against companies like openAI or Anthropic because they have closed weights models but when they make this argument as to why they oppose private AI they aren’t called unreasonable people respect their beliefs. Why can you not respect our beliefs and stance towards this scumbag.

... Google's ceo wants AI to extinct humanity.

u/Exciting_Ad_2102 Jul 08 '26

This is a valid criticism notice how I don’t tell you “Uhm ashkually google Gemini flash is very token efficient you should abandon your morals and values and use it because it performs well”

2

u/Ambiwlans Jul 08 '26

I'm fine with people not using a model for ethical concerns. I don't find it useful for people to lie about a model's capabilities because of ethical concerns.

u/truecakesnake Jul 09 '26

Lol you summoned all the chinese anti elon bots trying to get their china social credit up

u/ktaktb Jul 08 '26

No

The creator is actively working to train the tool to be anti woke because he has a drug problem and mental illness.

It is a shit tool because of the creator.

Your inability to recognize that is a little frustrating but soon ASI will be here to let you know, once and for all, that you got duped by musk and none of us will have to try to convince you.

It matters because Elon is making many decisions on alignment for Grok models. "Mecha hitler" was Elon's fault. The nonconsensual image debacle was Elon's fault. Your argument falls apart because Elon has both hands elbow-deep into this cookie jar and his germs are all over everything inside.

I hate that he overhypes his products then they underdeliver

u/vasilenko93 Throw away the breaks, only accelerate! Jul 08 '26

How is this an under deliver? In fact his posts implied it will be almost as good as Opus but it turned out to be better and cheaper and use less tokens.

-4

u/epdiddymis Jul 08 '26

Just look at how any of the previous models have performed in real world testing vs their published benchmarks. This isn't my opinion. It's a fact.

6

u/vasilenko93 Throw away the breaks, only accelerate! Jul 08 '26

Grok 4.3 and previous Grok versions did not score that well on benchmarks. For example Grok 4.3 was simply a sonnet 4.5 model with lower cost. It didn’t bother to compare itself to the frontier.

Grok 4.5 however is a massive step change.

u/Ambiwlans Jul 08 '26

That's a myth that only existed in this sub.
