In the days after the US Department of Justice (DOJ) published 3.5 million pages of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, multiple users on X have asked Grok to “unblur” or remove the black boxes covering the faces of children and women in images that were meant to protect their privacy.

It feels like being back on the playground

"nuh uh, my laser is 1000% more powerful"

"oh yea, mine is googleplex googolplex percent more powerful"

    Wait, what? My son has been using "googleplex" when he wants a really big number. I thought it was a weird word he made up. I guess it's a thing....

    It is, with a slight different spelling. A googol is 10^100, a googolplex is a 10^(googol) or written conventionally, a one followed by a metric shit ton of zeros.

    I wondered if the word had something to do with a googol (I learned that word from World Book Encyclopedia kids books), but I figured my young son didn't know that word yet and just invented some word using Google. Crazy how language can get around on the playground.
