    I really wish we would stop calling shitty tech products (such as this) the invention of billionares like Elon Musk. He probably did jackshit during the development of this.

      Musk is probably unique among Big Tech owners in that he’s using his product daily (most people think to the detriment of both Xshitter and his other ventures). He is definitely the person who both directed company resources to be devoted to a GenAI product, and ensured that it doesn’t have the “guardrails” his fans and himself decry as “woke”.

      In other words, no other Big Tech CEO is dumb enough to give the OK to a product that trashes its reputation.

      It’s using Flux which was developed by Black Forest Labs and is open source. Neither Elon nor twitter had any hand in its creation and simply use it on their site.

        grok was also found to just be chat gpt with instructions to be ‘not woke’ and ‘funny’

        i doubt x ai really does anything but they’re treated like an actual ai player for some reason
