I can't stop reading the Grok reply page. It's going schizo and can't stop talking about white genocide in South Africa. https://t.co/Y7IQonCkiG https://t.co/XdSLTW8tD5

War is never inevitable. Weapons can and must fall silent, for they never solve problems but only intensify them. Those who sow peace will endure throughout history, not those who reap victims. Others are not enemies to hate but human beings with whom to speak.
