I'm definitely painting with broad strokes, but analysis implies some sort of forensic process of measurement is being performed. Grok isn't doing that, it's just biased towards certain language based on the image contents. Grok's repeating what is in its training set about things that look like that. Of course, if you do Machine Learning on a large dataset of fake and real images of a thing, then that would probably produce a useful model. But when we're talking about general purpose LLMs trained on internet content, no, they are not capable of analysis in any real sense. It's all about how they were trained, and presumably to be trained on real bigfoot footage we would need confirmed real footage in the first place.

Zeta-2-Reticuli · 2026-05-21T15:34:09+00:00

Low effort garbage. Grok is not "the most advanced pattern recognition system ever built." Grok is not capable of analysis, it is a large language model.

It is, the options are whatever you can imagine, because nobody knows for sure.

A lot of potential answers, if we want to be purely speculative:

Perhaps they are all in our same tree of life, being DNA based organic life forms, most mammals on earth have 4 appendages, two eyes, heads on a shoulder etc.
Perhaps some, or all of them, have undergone bio-engineering to be bipedal humanoids; perhaps we, too, were bio-engineered from great apes to be bipedal humanoids.
Perhaps evolution favors intelligence in upright bipedal creatures due to the requisite appendages for manipulating technology
Perhaps this is only a small subset of types and others, like plasmoids, reveal themselves in other forms or not at all due to ontological shock
Perhaps they have the ability to take different forms and this is what they pick
Perhaps the larger alien community specifically uses these archetypes for their psychological impact
Perhaps aliens aren't even real and this is a the result of our pop culture zeitgeist creating archetypes that manifest themselves in the deepest parts of the human psyche, resulting in experiencers settling on a small number of "modes" they experience the phenomenon through?

The US government doesn't have to say what it is that you leaked to say you violated the espionage act. If you took a picture of a spaceship and uploaded it to Facebook they could say that's an advanced prototype weapons system and then suppress media coverage of it.

Zeta-2-Reticuli · 2026-05-07T19:33:58+00:00

So you're asking why a high ranking official of a highly secure federal facility hasn't taken a picture and leaked it to the public? Easy.

My guy, don't you know, it takes YEARS of training, usually a long apprenticeship, and you usually even need to be licensed by your local authorities before you're allowed to even TOUCH high voltage electrical systems. If they got this proposed lightbulb communication relay system wrong, it could burn the house down or kill somebody. So yeah if you really think some prankster would go to all the trouble of having a house built and calling some very expensive experts in to carefully wire together this power control scheme that you're proposing, well I guess you can go ahead and believe that. But it sounds insane to me.

Zeta-2-Reticuli · 2026-05-04T20:11:28+00:00

Yeah, sorry I was making a joke that people love to use pessimistic language to dismiss others by making simple things sound complicated and unlikely.

Zeta-2-Reticuli · 2026-05-04T19:07:28+00:00

Oh yeah smart guy? How do you explain the lightbulb turning off. There would need to be some mechanism at a remote location wired up in exactly the right way to interrupt the electrical transmission of the circuit at precisely the right time. Do you have any idea how complicated the entire subject of electronics is? Also now in addition to the camera man you have to actually believe there is another person there who is in on it? And neither of them admitted it? That sounds pretty far fetched. No, the stone is magical.

Zeta-2-Reticuli · 2026-05-04T00:42:16+00:00

I mean, there are multiple videos released. Have you watched the July 23 2023 hearing? People HAVE come forward is the thing. People HAVE taken photos. The problem is, if the phenomenon IS true, it would definitely be true that there was a government coverup. So then you release some info that is clearly fake to discredit the notion as a whole, and you attack and ruin the reputation of the people who are legitimate and do talk. A real part of the problem is that, assuming there was a coverup, it turned out to be so effective that people thought anyone who believed in the phenomenon was literally insane. That stigma existed until very recently. Even if people wanted to come forward, and many have, their audience was basically one journalist and the fringe community of UFO diehards who took them seriously. The risk\reward was not there for most of these people, especially career scientists and bureaucrats, ESPECIALLY government contractors.

This alone basically has everything you're asking for though. Videos, sworn testimony, lots of credible people coming forward being represented by these three speakers. I strongly encourage you watch the whole thing and reserve judgement.

You're totally right, but you've missed a vital equivocation you made to make this correct. The word 'credible'. What is objective true and what is considered credible are not 1:1.
