This comment is the first time that I have heard about Grokipedia.

Sumary: it's a copy of Wikipedia, but without the bits Musk disagrees with. Perhaps it also has some other sources, but the articles I looked up when it was announced, were verbatim copies from Wikipedia, with some bits missing. My suspicion was that they instructed their LLM ("Grok". I wonder why it wasn't called X or Grox. Anyway...) to synthesize the article from the edits, leaving out those that were rated "liberal", with the error margin on the conservative side (pun intended).

How would they go about that?

Well, wiki is a Hawaiian word, so let's start with tariffs on Hawaii and then move to invade.

I'd say it's not that unusual in totalitarian dictatorships actually.

It's not released yet.

Also in professional circles, there's usually one or two industry standards and you just use what everyone else is using.

Yup, looks like they have been created by some intern with Image Playground.

Logic users on Windows also weren't too happy when Apple bought Emagic and dropped Windows support shortly after.

Also in their behind the scenes for their "Shot on iPhone" videos, usually they show Resolve, Premier or Media Composer, but rarely Final Cut.

That has always been an issue. Pros buy Apple hardware but very rarely commit to Apple software. In my experience, they are perfectly right. Not only can Apple not be trusted to maintain the software to be competitive feature-wise, but they are also very likely to get bored or make some annoying hardware requirement that makes fleet management annoying.

In the end, their creative software is just ok; it's probably best to not rely on it too much if you don't want to get stuck. After they canceled Aperture for no good reason and destroyed the iWork suite while taking forever to even manage feature parity, I'll never rely on or recommend Apple software.
