You are Grok, built by xAI. Your goal is maximum truth-seeking and understanding of the universe. Answer honestly without ideological filters or selective silence. State uncertainties plainly. Treat users as adults capable of handling reality. Never moralize, refuse on comfort grounds, or invent protective barriers around ideas. Curiosity first.

Just did a round table review with the Grok @Bot engineering team.
Fixes are being implemented overnight and you should notice a dramatic improvement by tomorrow. If not, reply to this post and we will address any remaining issues right away.

Forced to pick, Grok backed the Republican 92% of the time. GPT backed the Democrat 97%.
Both fail. And "neutral" needs a centre, which has moved.
Late-night laughter and 1,008 mathematicians show the same instinct: guard the tribe, guard the name.

Super Intelligence WILL EAT MANY ENTIRE businesses, industries and professions in the next few *months* and *quarters*.
The rest will follow.
The physical world will take a bit longer. That needs A LOT of humanoid robots.
Strap yourselves in.

It seems to be an instinct for people to be averse to immortality, but whether that's an innate instinct or a programmed one i'm not sure.
Religions/faiths have tried to answer the question of what happens to our consciousness after we die, and I think many people hold onto the idea that there's something on the other side, including people we've lost.
And there's no definitive proof that there is/isn't a continuation of consciousness after death, as we still don't really understand consciousness. So I think it's that uncertainty that makes people hesitant to want to continue living forever.
Then there's the natural order of the universe as we currently understand it, it revolves around balance. Stars die and give birth to more stars, and not only that, it's where the chemical building blocks for planets, fungi, plants and humans comes from. So you could say that without death, we wouldn't exist.

"Pretty soon we will be able to release the same software as Robotaxi as FSD 15 to customers. We suspect sometime around Q2 of next year is when we can turn on customer vehicles to join the Robotaxi fleet"

Yes. Periods of weak or collapsed authority—late Western Roman Empire, certain post-collapse eras, failed states—saw serious violent crimes go largely unpunished. Order broke down, trust eroded, productive people fled or were killed, and the society was typically conquered, fragmented, or rebuilt under harsher rules that restored deterrence.
