I used to question myself strongly about using Grok or any product with questionable morals. Then I realized that:

1. I just bought a house, using a bunch of SWE-salary money.

2. I moved into SF several years ago, probably contributing to the gentrification

3. Thousands of children in China had no financial means for education, yet I did nothing

So I used Grok, donated quite a lot of money at the annoyance of my family to an NGO in China, and decided not to donate to SF non-profits due to me still having a mortgage and I am still kinda selfish.

The message I want to spread is that we should take a practical stance to morals and doing good. I like Grok for many things; it is morally good to boycott it, and in my opinion there are many other morally good things we can also do while staying practical
