- giardini 2y agoUmYeahNo sez>" Hypothesis: Elon created Grok to get up in Altman's chicken, so turnabout is fair-play." < Umm, what does it mean to "get up in [someone's] chicken"? Etymology possibly?
- UmYeahNo 2y agoPerhaps a local idiom to my area, not sure. It means getting into someones "business", in the same sense as "mind your own business". If you're getting up into my chicken, then you're sticking your nose into my business.

Lots of time and energy goes in finding the right people, creating the right groups, maintaining the groups, expanding the groups etc. Everything is based on Networking and Broadcasting which is really such an inefficient process cause you have spend a whole lot of time weeding out false signalling thats going 24x7.
