Those grok replies are... something... That AI seems to be emulating Muskrat's personality, which is gross.

I really wanna go check because of morbid curiosity but touching the cesspit known as Twitter is like knowingly walking into a septic tank and coming out with the smell all over you

Wasn't there reports that Musk specifically altered Grok's code to include a filter which checks Musk's posts for his perspective first before formulating a response.

musk really tows the line between being repulsovely vile and also so painfully pathetic.

like buying a social media to force people to give you attention wasn't enough? need a bot to tell people how special you are? someone put that pathetic baby in a nursery for overgrown adult babies.

That was my first thought too. He thinks grok is how he'll live forever.

Honestly, I think that's the end goal for these billionaire fucks. We know Thsill is interested in that. Death is the one thing these psychopaths can't buy their way out of.

Can I just say, I don’t think that the (plaintext) client list is real.

A this guy writes shitty books. There, I said it. Come fucking get me.

Go read some Brandon Sanderson novels, which are amazing.

I've only read the first Mistborn book so far but Sanderson had absolutely no prose in his writing. I don't want to be too critical since that was one of his first books two decades ago, but it felt like I was reading something written by a high schooler. However, the actual story and plot were amazing. I'm definitely going to continue reading his books with the hope that he doesn't continue to write "Vin rolled her eyes" 300 more times. His magic system is really well thought out and the characters are very believable and likeable. King on the other hand, is kind of the exact opposite. His prose is top notch but he usually writes about fuck all. I'm currently on the final Dark Tower book and it's a slog to get through. I liked most of the previous books in the series so I'm determined to finish it, but you can tell he just makes shit up as he goes. I think King excels with his short stories, even the best Dark Tower book in my opinion is a sort of spin off from the rest. Like I said, I'll gladly keep reading through Sanderson's works for now but I really hope he learns to become engaging with his actual words on the paper.

Reading Sanderson is like reading an instruction manual. It is certainly words, and it sure has some information, but that's about where the experience ends. It doesn't exactly light up the imagination.

Dude can write an entire book and you come out of it unclear as to whether or not there are any trees in that world. Could have just as easily taken place on a slice of cheese.

King: The problem was an spooky demon all along.

Sanderson: The problem is solved by washing and cleaning EVEN when it sucks.

When they're finally leaked it'll feel like christmas and birthday at once except with sinister undertones.

not believing in a secret convenient list that provides incriminating evidence on everyone you dont like instantly makes you a convicted pedophile
