Yes but apparently it knows something about what's currently being said on social? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/t...
Clip from the New York Times article about a false accusation: "Grok, the A.I. chatbot created by Elon Musk’s xAI, repeated the falsehood in some of its replies to users, writing at one point that “the suspect, Michael Mallinson, was apprehended at the scene.” Grok sources some of its information from posts on X. (Other posts from Grok said that the connection was unconfirmed or discredited.) X did not respond to a request for comment." Below the text is a screenshot from twitter of Grok repeating real-time false information about the shooting.

This is the scariest part of this panel
Moderator, Patrick Healy Do you think Donald Trump has proved that government can be changed? [Everybody but Chris raises a hand.] Samantha, 54, New York, white, teacher Oh, that’s true. Oh, my God. David, 44, Alabama, white, insurance We’re definitely seeing that change is possible. Is this the best way to go about that change? Maybe it’s the only way. Mark, 61, Florida, white, controller I was never a believer of the word “the swamp” before. But now I’m seeing a big change of trying to change the way Washington works. So to me, it’s refreshing. Brian, 50, California, white, TV production And I hope the Democratic Party is listening. Because they need to pay attention to these ideas. David, 44, Alabama, white, insurance They got to wake up.

If you go north from the terminal it looks like there are sidewalks that go towards the employee? parking (bottom middle of your overhead) and rental car parking (left side of your overhead) but the first place you have to cross a road has a crosswalk that looks like this.......
A crosswalk outside the Las Vegas airport. A big sign goes over the crosswalk - unclear if there is enough room to walk underneath.

You'll never guess who this person who doesn't like liars voted for!
Quote from Abigail, 23 in the New York Times: "I saw how the media has become so corrupted in their cause against Trump. There was that Trump clip of him saying: Put Cheney in front of a bunch of shooters. But he wasn’t actually implying Cheney should be shot. I cannot vote for an establishment that just thinks it’s OK to lie to us."
