AI would do a better job generating a giant head of Musk tbh

Musk appropriating "grok" from Stranger in a Strange Land is on-brand for him, seeing as he fundamentally misunderstands Banks' Culture series and reduces it to "the one with the cool ship names".

cursory reading seems to indicate this feature is for ~~Elon-pleasuring suckers~~paying users anyway.

I did not have Musk x Kadyrov on my 2024 bingo card.

Not really sure if this is actionable sanctions-busting. It would be hilarious if so. Even more hilarious if Ukraine captures it and sticks into the victory museum.
