Neutrality means reporting the truth, it doesn't mean reporting in between both sides.

  The submission is titled "Grokipedia by xAI has just launched with 885,279 articles" and is just a direct link to Grokipedia. It is quite literally the most neutral, non-editorialized submission to HN.

    Should be a ShowHN. There is nothing to discuss by just linking the startpage otherwise. An article like this can be discussed...

      Show HN: A big batch of AI Slop & Propaganda Elon Musk did all by himself and no one else but him because he is the number one business man and "World's Best Genius™"

    Did you read any of the comments in the thread? It's not done in good faith and it looks like they should have turned the dial more toward "quality" than "quantity". A stable with lots of manure isn't inherently better than a stable with less manure.

      I think the comments in this thread bandwagoning the knee-jerk hate against Elon Musk put forth by the submission are a lot more bad faith and vitriolic than in the other submission. I'm not even particularly fond of the man but this is childish behavior.

        I don’t find it particularly childish to hate on a man who led the charge to destroy food and medicine meant for orphans. Among other things. If he didn’t want bad publicity for everything he touched, he shouldn’t have done that.

I'm not a fan of Elon or whatever, but I agree with the parent. "Grokipedia by xAI has just launched with 885,279 articles" does not seem like a title that should be flagged.

Hey CupricTea, I'm working on building a social media site that wants to improve on moderation and I've found the case of the Grokipedia curious. So I'd love to get in touch with your but didn't find any details in your bio. Please reach out to me and let's do a user interview (can be via email too). My contacts are in my bio
