xAI Will Open-Source Grok This Week (techcrunch.com) 44
Elon Musk's AI startup xAI will open-source Grok, its chatbot rivaling ChatGPT, this week, the entrepreneur said, days after suing OpenAI and complaining that the Microsoft-backed startup had deviated from its open-source roots. From a report: xAI released Grok last year, arming it with features including access to "real-time" information and views undeterred by "politically correct" norms. The service is available to customers paying for X's $16 monthly subscription.

It didn't take long; perhaps 3 weeks.
Of course it didn't help that the hatemongers that Elon ordered reinstated such as Kanye & Nick Fuentes quickly had to be banned again because they were a bit *too* free with the speech, even for Elon's liking

There's more bots on Twitter than ever.
I see no evidence more humans are using it.
I am still using it, I like to take the anti-Elno memes from the FB group "LinkedIn Memes for Go-Getter Teens" and post them there.

There are markedly fewer bots now than previous to acquisition, what are you talking about?
There's more spam/advertisement, yes. That's irritating. You could consider those bots, I suppose.

Article says, "Musk, who didn’t elaborate on what all aspects of Grok he planned to open-source..."
If he doesn't open source all the things, he's still a punk arse in my book. If he does, I don't care what he does, he's still a punk arse, but a more lovable punk arse. From one punk arse to another, thanks.
P.S.

Re: (Score:2)
The true number of bots was never disclosed.
There isn't an accurate public metric to judge the number of real users now or then, so the rest is guesswork.
As a public company, they had investment incentive to allow bots to the extent they could claim they're actual daily users. There may have been direct payments for that in addition to the blue check pay-offs. There may be other competing incent
