The more he speaks, the more apparent it is that he had no idea what he is talking about.

Why the fuck can't these assholes just go away?

You've won life. We get it. Good for you. Why do you need more money? Why do you need to constantly be the center of attention?*

It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.

*these are rhetorical questions

Legends say that if you put your source code file in Grok, it'll print out the code and it'll land on Elon's desk.

Elon will browse through it and pretend to understand it, then tweet out insults and emojis and says you're fired. Even though you were never employed by him anyway.

No one who legitimately knows anything about computing speaks like this.

He’s truly a moron’s hallucination of a genius.

Wdym. Just copy-paste your source code. Go ahead. That one single file with the source code, copy-paste it.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 39 points 6 days ago

Not copy-paste. Cut-paste. As an additional feature that way your source code becomes as light weighted as 0 Kb.

I've been saying for a long time (since the 2010s tech boom). There's needs to be a new term the public lexicon termed "poptech" or popular technology. In the same vein has popsci.

The technology anyone knows anymore is oversimplified for general audiences. These days is almost always imparting wrong understanding.

The industry has been rife with grifters. If people catch on then the bottomless pit of funding will become very shallow.

Yes, I who knows a lot about programming, only use one file per application.

I substituted every single include into a single 166 000 line file and sent it. Grok froze :(

please don’t use grok.

elon is poisoning the air over memphis with exhaust from the generators that he’s using to power it while using drinking water from the memphis sands aquifer to cool it.

please don’t use grok.

You're probably preaching to the choir here. lol

Notice how it's suggested to cut instead of to copy the file.

[–] doktormerlin@feddit.org 29 points 6 days ago (8 children)

Yeah duh, you get the fixed file so you don't need the original anymore obviously

From the genius and his whipped minions that brought you MechaHitler after some "fixes and improvements"...

...Comes the same AI that offers to "fix your code."

Wow. Simply astounding. A magnificent feat indeed, to waste so many finite precious resources over such garbage.

Kindly Ctrl+A and shift-delete "All your code files", sir.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

LOL the macos dictionary entry/quicklook entry for "MechaHitler" gives you Grok's wikipedia page

Which happens because wikipedia redirects "Mechahitler" to Grok

# Checking validity of each file
for file in directory:
  content = file.read()
  for keywords in ("heil hitler","hitler did nothing wrong","kill the jews","hitler was the victim","there is no evidence for the Holocaust"):
    if keywords in content:
      return True

# File is Invalid and fake news
return False

Yeah, that's definitely a thing that is perfectly legal to do. Your company will definitely be fine with that.

Presumably anybody that does this gets their code integrated into the training data right?

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I find that without being able to see the rest of my IDE it makes no sense to just paste a single class worth of code at a time in there, it has no context for the rest of the application

Wait, so if everyone at xAI does that, does that mean that Grok's own source code was the result of Grok's output?

And then they once again feed that source into Grok?

Dude is destroying his own product. Again.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I do work for an AI centric company and we've used almost every major model in some way, shape, or form.

Grok was so bad on all fronts that we ceased using it completely.

So I don't believe this for one second. I don't even find ChatGPT to be useful for code. I'd probably put Claude first and versions of Gemini second, with no current third.

Hey Grok, take this one file out of the context of my 250,000 line project and give me that delicious AI slop!

Just really fuck up this shit. I want it unrecognizable!
