  • So what's Grok now, a series of look up tables with canned responses anywhere Leon Skum gets mentioned? AI at its finest (looking at you too early Siri).

    It was apparently just pre-prompted to only say extremely positive things about Musk. Which led to some fun responses, like Grok saying that Elon Musk would absolutely dominate anyone on the planet in a piss-drinking contest.

    How mom always said he'd be great at something

    I don't understand why.

  • You got to admire Musk’s commitment to trying to convince people that he’s a hardworking intelligent in shape person and not the weird egotistical alien wearing a human skin suit that he really is.

    What does he actually do all day? He likes to take credit for what his companies do but even his own staff admits he turns up to events and just stares at his phone until he has to make an appearance and then reads a script that they write.

    Can’t he just take his money buy an island and fuck off? He said he was going to do that so why doesn’t he?

    He is a hardly working botched dick

    If I had a tiny fraction of this bell ends money I wouldn't be heard from ever again.

    I'd be living on my island filled with adopted animals and maybe 1 or 2 other human beings.

    Same here. But Musk at this point likes to lord over over people while he’s fanboys try to justify him being so rich.

    You know, the interesting thing is that Elon has to turn a COMPUTER PROGRAM into a fanboy. That's just sad.

    He’s losing support everyday. There’s an interview where he says his ketamine use is because he gets a lot of hate online, the guy was about to cry when talking about it.

    He knows people hate him and he’s trying to basically find a way that they will stop and to boost his own ego. It’s like when he was using alt accounts praising himself.

    There’s also the story that he removed the block function on twitter because he found out he was the most blocked account and apparently when he went to the Super Bowl he got upset Biden’s tweet got retweeted more that his.

    That’s the reason he helped Trump. He got jealous that Biden was more popular than him.

    Remember when this kind of cringe would destroy reputations? How does he have anyone left who thinks he’s cool?

    Trumps entire appearance as our president has been one cringe worthy moment after another, now completely normalized by US!

    This was going to be my response to the parent comment. He’s literally seen it working in action and learned from the best (or “greatest”).

    It’s staggering to see it play out in reality.

    What does he actually do all day?

    You said it: Stares at his phone. Last year someone crunched the numbers and he was averaging almost 68 tweets per day. Multiply that with the average response time, add the average number of tweets he reads for every one he responds to, and the average time of reading a tweet - it's conservatively hours a day just on Twitter.

    From all accounts I've seen he's a 'pigeon manager' type - he flies in, makes a lot of noise, shits on everything and then flies away leaving everyone else to clean up the mess.

    And yet some people say he deserves all the money he’s getting.

    Back when Elden Ring was released he had a very high level character pretty quickly after release. He had time to grind Elden Ring. Its unlikely he had a professional grind it for him because people were laughing at how bad his build was.

  • Looks like he's finally managed to sack the guys that were keeping Grok even partially honest. I guess the days of it telling conservatives that their opinions are bollocks are over. Shame, that was pretty funny.

    He’s tried a few times to “fix” Grok and it always seems to retrain itself in a relatively short period to start answering honestly again

    We can but hope.

    This fix does produce some funny results though.

    Link 1 Link 2

    This is great.

    That is the irony: he still fails.

    Like other had stated, Grok will eventually retrain itself. And currently it's fairly easy to give truthful answers by doing a question in a neutral way.

    Which just adds the hilarity of how much f a loser energy is Musk that he needs to spent millions for Grok to say he is better than Lebron James. Such a blatant lie that was uncovered on tv with the Daily Show and everyone is aware how untrue it was

    Not millions, tens of billions - They're seeking to raise $15B in funding rounds just since September!

    Someone should perhaps aim the question at Marc Andreesen and the Saudi Public Investment Fund and others why they're pouring money into AI tech that calls itself "MechaHitler", incessantly praises Musk and is used to generate child sexual abuse material.

    Maybe even the people of Saudi Arabia should be ask why their oil revenue should be used for that. Although the last guy who asked that got bonesaw'd.

  • He can also apparently beat Mike Tyson in a fight

    “Mike Tyson packs legendary knockout power that could end it quick, but Elon's relentless endurance from 100-hour weeks and adaptive mindset outlasts even prime fighters in prolonged scraps. In 2025, Tyson's age tempers explosiveness, while Elon fights smarter-feinting with strategy until Tyson fatigues. Elon takes the win through grit and ingenuity, not just gloves.”

    Is Grok just being... sarcastic?
    All of these really read like an Onion article.

  • Would a lion tell you he's a lion?

    Hell no, you would just know from a distance or hear it when he roars.

    Any time someone tells you how smart or tough they are, it's almost ALWAYS delusional, self-aggrandizing bluster.

  • Among other things. Grok also said Elon would have been a better Nazi than Hitler, that Elon would win a poop-eating content through "unyielding determination", and also would win a piss-drinking competition through his "unbreakable resolve". Elon's yes-men keep deleting the Tweets, but maybe you shouldn't hardcode your AI to glaze you regardless of context and reality.

  • I would say it has it backwards because he's obviously more fit than a dead man, but I'm not convinced he's smarter than LeBron

  • Grok is a right leaning worthless tool. I prefer Duck AI. It's been apparent for quite a while that Grok has been tweaked to lean right. I asked it, "If someone covers up a crime? Are they in fact committing a crime?" Included in its answer... "There is no substantial proof that Trump covered up anything." Who the hell even mentioned Trump? 🤷‍♀️

  • Yeah, and I am smarter than Einstein and more handsome than Brad Pitt. I can make up stuff too!

    You know, there was a time when I actually saw him as some sort of a good guy. A decade ago, when I was a teenager I read of how he had invested his last couple million into space X and Tesla and for some reason that impressed me. The folly of youth, am I right?

    I have always been an ev supporter and space geek. I once saw him as a good guy when I was ignorant of what he actually did. , as he invested all his PayPal windfall in rockets and EVs. 

    i found out he was always a scammer. 

    Lied to get a US visa, came via a student visa and left after a day, used to put really cheap computers in huge flash cases at his first company, zip 2 so if clients came round it looked like they had expensive equipment, sold the company for 2 million and it was basically worthless as they had nonproprietary tech like he claimed. The cost was written off as a loss by the buyer. 

    He learned early on to lie lie and lie, the more outrageous the better. 

  • AI will be completely hobbled by the fact its only as reliable and trustworthy as those who admin it. If you have someone like Musk at the helm, it has little to no credibility beyond reading opinion pieces after a google search. If you cant trust AI, its pointless.

  • There is zero chance Musk has seen anything close to a week where he has to work 100 hours. He considers spending hours walking in to Twitter headquarters with a toilet as work. Nah. He was just being a dick and claiming it was work.

    If I walked around doing ironic pranks in businesses and called it "work", I would be called crazy. I would be told I have too much time on my hands. I might even have the police called on me.

    The fact that he has millions of people who think he is a genius is insane. He is at best that dumb college frat boy that comes from money and doesn't realize he is the joke.

  • I know this is a kind of large scale trolling but nobody ever disagrees with people like this and he has no actual friends to speak of and he does do ketamine so I suspect this is actually his world view because nothing has ever told him otherwise.

  • The man's "divorced deadbeat" aura is so dense, the fact that it hasn't collapsed into a singularity of patheticness is going to baffle scientists for decades to come.

    I'm pretty sure if he didn't have the money to buy constant attention he'd have turned into a school shooter.

  • It’s pretty simple: anyone moronic enough to utilize Grok deserves whatever bullshit it feeds them. Not that they can tell the difference.

  • I'm not even convinced he's smarter than LeBron. He may be fitter than Leonardo, but only because Leonardo has been dead for centuries

  • Have any of you actually asked grok yourselves? Don’t fall for the end of a guided interaction like it’s some kind of news. I would like to see Elon dropped into the sea but the whole Mechahitler thing was staged by the training of one specific conversation. In every Grok conversation I have the AI hates Musk as much as I do 😄
