The more he speaks, the more apparent it is that he had no idea what he is talking about.
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.
Just give it to grok without expecting your code to come back
that or it’ll be converted into a bunch of swastikas.
This just confirms Twitter is a 1M line BASIC program.
Think of all the GOTOs
More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn’t even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.
There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…
On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more … or less) per function.
Oof indeed! After 40 years, I forgot it even had fns
I started with VB3, which didn’t have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.
I did years of gw-basic, then ms quickbasic, j++, java, c#, now rust.
One function per file is definitely what grok would output
Elon goto hell
GOTO considered harmful, except in this case
Nah it’s just if-then-elses all the way down
I’m convinced this man has never used a computer
Well according to his lawyer…
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.
This man opens bin files in notepad
And .txt files in Microsoft Word
And gifs on internet explorer
You could see the “ms” IIRC magic tag of exe files in notepad.
pelcan Mouth perfec t size for put baby in to n\ap! inside very Soft and Comfort baby sleep soundly put baby in Pelican Mouth. Put Baby In Pelican Mouth. no problems ever in peliccan mouth
sounds like a very productive team💀
I substituted every single include into a single 166 000 line file and sent it. Grok froze :(
keep going, maybe you can bring it down
Are you sure it wasn’t just the frontend on your system that froze?
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
Notice how it’s suggested to cut instead of to copy the file.
# 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 FalseYeah, that’s definitely a thing that is perfectly legal to do. Your company will definitely be fine with that.
my compant pays for openAI and gemini, so I guess they are fine.
My company actually desires that we use AI. If you fix a problem quickly and it works perfectly but you’ve done it manually… it’s somehow worse than a colleague who took twice the amount of time and had a bad solution, but “generated by AI!”
JFC and I thought having to work in an open-office plan was the worst thing a company could do to me.
Not the mandatory volunteering to help plan, execute, and clean up after the optional mandatory after-work in-office no-alcohol team building event?
One thing I actually liked about my last company was that our team-building events involved great food, copious amounts of alcohol, and edibles. True, I had to bring the edibles myself, but nobody complained.
That’s one of the craziest things about this. My employers for years would constantly beat it into us, “proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential IP, data security. Make sure we have NDAs in place with suppliers.” Now just give it all away to these random giant companies.
i think ive pinpointed exactly why twitter devs are terrible
That was clear when they made Bootstrap.
Shots fired!
But honestly, for the time, bootstrap was great.
right? like at the time we had YUI and then bootstrap came along as a breath of fresh air
LOL
What I still don’t understand, is why people still use Twitter? It’s not even ordered by date, how could it be useful? Government accounts and celebrities have already moved on to other feeds .
“Now with 80% more MechaHilter comments in your source code file’s source for that extra bonus source! What are ya waiting for??”
