Is this real? I examined to their source code and found an exposed TypeScript RPC which indicates the following:

totalMembers: 4954

totalPledged: 5678872

averagePledge: 1146.320549

However the numbers on the website appear to be hardcoded in with very dramatically different numbers.

This is vibe coded as fuck and anyone can submit a pledge, so no

Yeah, I'm starting wonder if this is bs. They don't have a twitter account like the pledge form indicates. The youtuber that purportedly started the campaign only has like 36k subscribers, so it's not clear where such a high level of pledges would be coming from and the rpc endpoint response vs page count is pretty suspicious.

Anyone remember Google Desktop[1] that had built in search?

I do. I treat ChatGPT output the same as Wikipedia content. I find what I am looking for then immediately open the source to confirm. I would never in a million years take ChatGPT output or Wikipedia content and blindly reference it without doing my due diligence.

OP is using LastPass still, oof...

I used to do that with blurays when I was uploading releases to TPB.

You just described the entire Cyber Mission Force, lol.

Try one of these. They have the popup but you can dismiss it.

Personally I think having the option to make grok's response public can be helpful, much like a community note. Let's face it, on reddit or Facebook or YouTube the first thing people do now is go straight to the comments for context or feedback. As they say, the real answer is always in the comments.

And yet they won't do anything about sellers who change their listing to a completely different product once it gets to the 4-5 star range. Can't tell you how many times I've been looking at some tool or gadget only to glance at the reviews and see people mentioning socks.
