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

I'm convinced this man has never used a computer

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.

[–] Kaelygon@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Are you sure it wasn't just the frontend on your system that froze?

[–] Kaelygon@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Nah, Grok took 3 minutes and said along the lines "Something went wrong, try again later"
Probably failed at tokenization or hit a fail safe

The files are in the computer?

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

No, my son tells me they are in a folder. Now is this folder in the computer?

[–] conicalscientist@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago

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.

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

I’d posit that they haven’t won and are fundamentally broken people seeking to fill a void that no amount of money could fill. I know for certain I could never attain this much wealth as I would stop way before tens of millions.

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

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

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 74 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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 3 days ago

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

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

[–] doktormerlin@feddit.org 29 points 3 days ago (8 children)

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

I am a professional encoder and I always put all my codes in a single big file marked EXE for faster execution.

Get popcorn ready

Upload the entire Linux kernel, then submit the "fixed" code as a PR to Linus.

Enjoy popcorn

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

# 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

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.

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.

So "don't talk to strangers" or "don't give your credit card info to strangers" never really reached the audience, did it?

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