Cursor you have a beautiful comeback story, you have a wonderful model with Composer 2.5, and a terrific behemoth with Grok 4.5 now. A top-tier dev ux with the Cursor agent app, why on earth are you squandering this opportunity and behaving this way?

You came back from the dead pretty much and now you're pissing it away for what exactly?

Do not spite your individual developer customers or you will perish yet again.

If they were smart, they'd rebrand Grok to Composer. Nobody wants to use the Nazi model.

Given that cursor has been bought by Musk, the nazi branding might be on purpose

It seems to me that people have a dislike like for Elon then just blanket everything with the same label.

It might be called grok out it was trained by the composer team using a large chunk of their training data.

please, you're dramatically overestimating who gives a shit about this.

>please, you're dramatically overestimating who gives a shit about this.

And you're underestimating how much of a shit you need to give about this.

“If there's a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.”

You’re telling me there are a lot of Nazis we’re going to have to deal with. No problem, we’ve done it before, we’ll do it again.

It's Monday morning and you arrive at your comfortable corporate cubicle. You fire up the old Cursor to work on some code and fire off a prompt in "Auto" mode. Without even knowing, the request is routed straight to Cursor Grok 4.5, making you a card carrying member of the nazi party.

It must be tiresome to live life worrying about things like this. Thankfully, the International Criminal Court today does not operate with a terminal case reddit brain.

Outrageously, the international criminal court does not operate in the united states whatsoever

What kind of idiot do you have to be to use Cursor in 2026?
