    Telegram was always a bad actor with misleading claims about their communications service. Not shocking at all.

      …because Grok is being used to push certain “alternative facts” to those who are susceptible.

    So you’re telling me that Grok is so bad that they have to pay developers to integrate it? How backwards. People are willing to pay for Grok’s competitors.

    Oh wow. Integrating an LLM AI in the absolute bottom in human communication; CSAM, drugs, revenge porn, criminal chats, illegal weapons trade and so much more … this will work out well.

      We know about all of that bottom human stuff because it’s not encrypted. I guarantee you encrypted messengers like Signal are much worse when it comes to that.

        And yet, most radicalized chats are on Telegram, or so we were led to believe.

          Isn’t telegram more like Instagram with feeds?

        See, believe it or not but as far as we can tell, Signal is just less convenient for large groups and it very much looks like Telegram is worse. But it doesn’t matter: it’s about AI (Grok) being integrated with an environment known for bad data. Grok will interact with bad actors and train on awful data.
