Political Memes

It's, the pronoun is it's. It's not a person. Don't fucking give shitty ai humanity.

The very last word out of his mouth was "violence". You couldn't dream of a more ironic twist. If it was fiction, the writers would be sacked for being too on the nose.

Because it's been trained on data from when Charlie Kirk was alive.

Grok has clearly been instructed to defend Charlie Kirk in every context and to assert he "wins" in any given situation. Right-wing people like Kirk and Musk are obsessed with image and not losing face. Grok, like Kirk was programmed to simulate the kind of rationalizations and vernacular that appeal to right-wingers, and so it tries to spin-doctor Kirk getting capped as "actually he's fine lol shut up nerd". I think it's hilarious, because it implies "Defend Charlie Kirk" is excruciatingly over-emphasized in the LLM's instruction set to compensate for the fact that Kirk actually got humiliated regularly.

Grok is an LLM and doesn't think at all.

Naw, it was an assassination. Something only a government would want to pull off.

That leaves us with three likely candidates and a couple of unlikely.

If feel pretty strongly that because of the laser quick response this administration was aware beforehand.

The primary candidate would be the US. We all know that they love false flag operations and with the tide turning against this administration it needs a war or some major travesty to distract.

The second would be Israel. Their house of cards is about to fall and they have done similarly desperate terrorist acts like this before.

The third would be Russia the master shot caller who has been responsible for a lot of the far right movements we are familiar with.

I will admit your scenario is infinitely more entertaining and creative than what we are actually dealing with.

You mean he might have Smollet himself? I like it.

There was that one YouTuber who was killed when he had his GF shoot a book he was holding for a stunt (thinking the book would stop the bullet).

Right wingers can post CP, gore, and make calls to commit murder and rape all they want on Twitter. Go look at what they're posting now about what they're going to do in retaliation.

It's everyone else who is getting ban hammered into submission for even contemplating fighting back.

For anyone who thinks that political violence is a two-way street in this country, just look at the difference between what one side is allowed to getaway with and the other isn't.

Yep. Thanks Grok. Yes, it was fake. We all know it was fake. Simple fact. No need to investigate, procecute, argue or fight over it. He's well and will keep posting shit if he wants to, or he just retired by choice. Time will tell.

Nothing happened; carry on everyone!

Absolutely. It's like how everyone "knows" that you can't believe what you read in the papers, and will openly tell you as much, but then will still happily and uncritically believe anything they read as long as it fits into their existing worldview. Only now it's a hundred times worse, because the makers of this thing pretty much never get held accountable for the vast mountains of bullshit they're generating.

I recently learned the term for this feeling is ‘derealization.’

And I too increasingly feel like I’m in someone’s game of The Sims and they’re just fucking with me more and more to see how insane things can get before I lose my mind.

I think that's just squishy back-fat, folding over the back of the chair.

What looks really suspicious is his face - notice how his facial features are about twice the size that they appear normally, when you see them in memes.

The guy behind him looks like the suspect.
