<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>Elon Musk delays Grok release over Baldur’s Gate performance</strong>: Elon Musk reportedly delayed a Grok model release because he was dissatisfied with its answers about the video game Baldur’s Gate, even pulling high-level engineers to fix the issue. Apparently, the fate of humanity’s AI hinges on its ability to ace D&amp;D lore, not, you know, actual real-world problems. TechCrunch’s ‘BaldurBench’ found Grok performs comparably to rivals, so all that drama for stylistic differences. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/vj4IIdP4D" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI promotes Codex developer meetups</strong>: OpenAI is promoting community meetups for its Codex technology, encouraging developers to ‘create and ship projects’ locally. Because nothing says ‘cutting-edge AI’ like a good old-fashioned meetup, complete with pizza and awkward networking. It’s almost as if they’re trying to distract us from the fact that their enterprise platform just launched with ‘community pushback’ and ‘vendor lock-in concerns.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kpaXVeVV9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
