How joyous that we have stepped away from that blasted old site where you could freely view what people posted without needing to tell the servers who you are, into this new Open^{TM} Protocol where sign in is required to do a simple GET.

Ah. Twitter’s AI, Grok, JUST FUCKING MADE UP that Iran is attacking Tel Aviv.
It was first seen in the trending column.
Bluechecks are running with the story
Followed by a screenshot of the twitter UI with text:
Iran Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles On October 7, 2023, Iran launched a missile strike on Tel Aviv, Israel, in retaliation for
earlier attacks on Israel by the Palestinian military wing of Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 civilians. The attack
involved the use of heavy missiles and has led to significant damage, including fires and the destruction of several buildings.
Grok is an early feature and can make mistakes. Verify its outputs.
Reedit: But you can't delete your account without verifying an email to the address you never verified before. That's one way of inflating user counts!
