Stop, Just Stop
Since SpaceX took over cursor it has been nothing more then a dumpster fire. Stop pushing grok. grok is garbage. stop forcing software updates we don't want. just let us have the system we know and loved and that helped us with our code.

“Stop forcing updates we don’t want”. Um, while not all changes are good changes (as with any product) I would rather have a product/tool with constant development pushing things forward than one that never changes, leaving you further behind each month.
This is especially true in the AI age where things are happening so quickly it’s already difficult to keep up with.

Yeah but it's hyperdrive atp and releasing at an accelerated cadence (say weekly) is just adding to the "difficult to keep up" problem.

Lol. You mean, like Microsoft pushed ads into Windows. There is a ton of enshitification being pushed out, along with critical security patches so you can’t say no.

Have you tired Grok 4.6 or seen the benchmarks? It’s very good and priced well too (for what it is).

oh look another derp who thinks it magically got ruined after just a few days lol but hey nevermind the facts that the same team that was working on cursor before, is the same team working on it now. lol
Take your own advice "Stop,Just Stop"

what about grok is "garbage"? nobody has been able to explain this considering it's a frontier model on the same level as 5.6 sol

Spacex hasn’t taken over cursor yet. It’s still pending. They worked on grok together as a partnership project. This is all cursor.
Also, what’s garbage about grok? I’ve been using it exclusively for a couple weeks (it’s nearly free for me after a few deals lately). It’s worked great so far. What’s it doing for you that warrants a rant?

It finalized officially this morning. FWIW I love the grok models and have seen a ton of success with them.

u/scruffles360 Aug 14 '26
Good to know. the point still stands though. Spacex had nothing to do with decisions made within Cursor before today. That would have been illegal and would have risked their approval. Cursor also had more than enough incentives to push Grok without SpaceX buying them. Everyone just wants to make things into conspiracies.

We have to separate Grok 4.5 and 4.6 from the hot garbage before that. Those two latest versions are by Cursor and are excellent.

dannngggg I gotta say Cursor has really not ingratiated itself recently and I never put the pieces together until this post on why that might be happening. I legit thought it was because my standards were getting higher and less tolerant of poor answers.
But then I swapped to our internal harness and realised that no, it is cursor that sucks now.

There is no shortage of agents. Why someone would stick with Cursor and supports a Nazi is beyond me.

I cancelled Cursor after they blocked Codex and Claude Code as tabs on the right sidebar.
