Thanks for one of the few rationale responses. However, maybe I’m naive, but how much more work is it to manage one more social media account?

You’re making a whole lot of assumptions about what I wrote, and what it means. And sensing a lot of hostility. If you’re an activist organization with priorities, such as those stated by the EFF, only speaking to the people in your own pol

Once you get them together, sure, but it appears from TFA that this is about gathering them from mountain meadows or other far flung environs. A herd could be spread over thousands of acres, canyons, mountains, all sorts of places to be out

This sounds like an ideology based reply. Grok is underrated and I think has a better chance of long term success than most. The current growth strategy means (for me) their chat harness is not up to par for serious work. Their API is consi

The actual warfighters probably don’t use the term, but it has been common for at least 20 years among the staff and contractors supporting them.
