> many of us don’t want to be repeatedly beaten over the head with other people’s politics

I agree completely. That's why I won't use Grok: its owner repeatedly beats us over the head with his politics, and I won't encourage it.

It's fine to make your own choices about what you want to spend your money on. But it gets old to constantly have actual technical discussion drowned out by the same repetitive low-effort comments in every single post. I want to hear about what people have used Grok for, how it compares to other models, what it's not good at, etc., without having to wade through all the predictable "Elon bad" comments.

@dang - feature request for HN: have a "Thunderdome" section for the off-topic political commentary on the site, and once enough people flag something for being political, it gets detached and moved to the Thunderdome. People can let off steam there and the rest of us can have a nice clean place to read about tech.

		Nah, I think I'll keep calling it out when people keep going on political tangents. Maybe my whining will help everyone save some time.

Huh. I feel that way with the other models - all the same. Eh, what can you do. Have fun out there.
