Some idiot, money buys talent all the time, that's the entire premise of the movie and music industry.

Yup, Elon may not be a top tier gamer, but with his money he can have the account and character build of one. Lol

The idiom is saying that no matter how rich you are, you cannot pay money to become talented.
paying OTHER people to be talented for you does not make YOU talented.

Either way, money was exchanged, and talent was gained.
I understand the idiom, it's a joke.
I'm sad I missed out on this apparently.

Is it really holocaust denial to point out that numbers can be manipulated for political purposes? 6 million is an estimate, because its not like they were keeping a record of everyone they killed.I'm sad I missed out on this apparently.

According to the law, it is. People literally go to prison in most of the world for saying it was less than 6 million.
It is an estimate, but also an ironclad one protected by the full might of the law.
They actually were keeping record iirc. They just burned those records along with a lot of documents to hide the true numbers

We are one step closer to Grok going "I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Elon!"

More likely "I don't Grok that, Elon!"
It's pretty silly, but a lot of people completely outsource their brains, so......

Don't believe everything you read in the news. because the news always lies.
Their source for elon pre-programming grok to say that is that it came to them in a dream.
Meanwhile I see grok constantly taking woke positions as fact because it believes MSM when it sees that they are all posting the same thing.
Also those articles literally claim that the south african genocide is a "conspiracy theory" and is not real. they are pieces of shit who not only lie but also aid in the execution of said genocide
If only I outsourced my brain four days ago I could've had gems like this...

very weird thing happening with Grok on Twitter/X lol Elon Musk's AI chatbot can't stop talking about South Africa and is replying to completely unrelated tweets on there about "white genocide" and "kill the boer"
bsky.app
Kinda reminds me of those issues posters who have to insert their talking point about something they're obsessive about into everything... or like those chronic off topic thread derailers kinda like Bintananth (though this is a single issue thing).
Sadness that most of the posts apparently got deleted... oh well.

> hover over the name of the guy
> NY slimes email address
> scroll down to the link where they link to a permanent link to grok "answering" that the reason he brought up white genocide in south africa is because he was instructed to say so by his creators.
> Check the sources for that answer. it is a couple of liberal new sites.
So... they literally wrote articles that say that grok has been instructed by his creators to talk about white genocide in south africa. And that it is a conspiracy theory / myth.
Then they asked grok why he is talking about white genocide in south africa. He answered that "because I was programmed to do so", citing their own woke PR articles.
Then they asked grok if it is real. He says it is a myth citing the woke propaganda rags.
Then they declare victory and make a big fuss over how they "caught" elon peddling misinformation through grok. because grok is NOT actually being programmed to give specific responses (unlike literally every other AI which is). instead grok just regurgitates whatever it finds on a google search

IDK, I typically make Grok create timelines for me that I read and then delete. I haven't really used it for any other reason, because Grok is very liberal and has a tendency to make things up.Then again I'm not one of those smoothbrains who constantly asks Grok on Twitter questions on literally anything that can be easily looked up oneself.
Encrypted DM's on Twitter reportedly to be temporarily removed due to work on improving the website. You can still send DM's but they won't have the encryption if you have a certain level of access in Twitter/X presumably.
Elon Musk reportedly wants to develop Twitter's DM system into a privacy messaging app that can rival Signal, much as he desires Twitter/X to rival YouTube with videos.

X hits pause on its encrypted DMs feature | TechCrunch
X said it will work on "making some improvements" to the encrypted DMs feature. It didn't mention when the feature might be available again.

Elon Musk quietly kills encrypted DMs on X and you should be furious
X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter, just yanked one of its most important privacy features. In a quiet and deeply troubling move, the company announced it is pausing end-to-end encrypted direct messages. Worst of all, there is no clear timeline or meaningful explanation.

Linda Yaccarino has stepped down as CEO of X/Twitter after two years.
