alt Hacker NewsYeah I'm sure everyone on r/cursor or in previous HN threads about Grok 4.5 or 4.6 are all unserious and insane.
No one actually cares about the politics as long as the model codes well.
Edit, quite interesting to see the reception to this comment compared to essentially the same type of comment I made on a Grok 4.6 benchmark HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49275385#49275571
It's true that Cursor gives a lot of usage with Grok, most users of Cursor don't care about Musk.

Voting with your wallet is still very much a valid way to protest that odious man.
Some people might not mind (or even know), but I sleep better at night trying to work as ethically as I can.
I would say it is sad that there are people who use Grok when there are so many other choices available which don't come with the issues of supporting Musk.
It is not all just 'politics'. Take a stand on some issues. It doesn't cost much not to use Grok.

> I totally care about politics, especially when it comes to not giving my money to people like musk.
This is the “Mussolini made the trains run on time” of ai hot takes.
(Btw, mussolini didn’t make the trains run on time)
i care about not financially supporting a person that is actively trying to disenfranchise me, why is that a difficult concept for some people? that not everyone is motivated exclusively by financial profit? is moral bankruptcy so pervasive that some people assume it is unanimous?

There are a lot of people who are apathetic to what musk is, people that don't care are not people who should inspire you. What the hell is so inspiring about apathy anyway?!
And yeah, people that don't care DO make the world worse through their apathy.
