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.

EVERYTHING'S COMPUTAH!

I find that without being able to see the rest of my IDE it makes no sense to just paste a single class worth of code at a time in there, it has no context for the rest of the application

[–] Davin@lemmy.world 52 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

Yes, I who knows a lot about programming, only use one file per application.

[–] bathing_in_bismuth@sh.itjust.works 6 points 59 minutes ago

Drop the executable in the GrokBox

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

The entire file! My biggest frustration with cursor is that it doesn't support reading from multiple projects at once so it can see the context of how the projects interact or how interfaces are implemented.

[–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 3 points 1 hour ago

LMAO, yeah let's jist disregard all the other files that are definately not required contextually!!!!

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 34 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 90 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 31 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Wdym. Just copy-paste your source code. Go ahead. That one single file with the source code, copy-paste it.

Oh man, the people leaving when he starts. Amazing.

[–] turdburglar@sh.itjust.works 49 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 22 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You're probably preaching to the choir here. lol

[–] turdburglar@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 hours ago

i just wanna keep sayin it out loud so maybe folks remember.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I do work for an AI centric company and we've used almost every major model in some way, shape, or form.

Grok was so bad on all fronts that we ceased using it completely.

So I don't believe this for one second. I don't even find ChatGPT to be useful for code. I'd probably put Claude first and versions of Gemini second, with no current third.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago

I men, grok 4 only just came out. Can’t really judge it based on previous models

[–] uss_entrepreneur@startrek.website 20 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Wait so are they using grok to code grok? No wonder it keeps getting shittier

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

His engineers swear by it! To his face, at least.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 3 points 58 minutes ago

When he asks to see their code, they send him a single file.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 23 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Hey Grok, take this one file out of the context of my 250,000 line project and give me that delicious AI slop!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 22 points 6 hours ago

Just really fuck up this shit. I want it unrecognizable!

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 156 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Get popcorn ready

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

Enjoy popcorn

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 102 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

My sibling in christ, we are trying to code not cause a NATO conflict.

[–] unwillingsomnambulist@midwest.social 31 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I’d love to see Linus verbally bitchslap the fuckwit. Or physically, that’d be cool too.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 hours ago

I think that Linus becoming less of an abusive asshole over the years has been a positive development, but I wouldn't mind the return of the old for this event

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 26 points 7 hours ago

Wait, so if everyone at xAI does that, does that mean that Grok's own source code was the result of Grok's output?

And then they once again feed that source into Grok?

Dude is destroying his own product. Again.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 279 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Why are all my variables suddenly named after SS officers?

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

...They don't use it over API?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 195 points 11 hours ago (8 children)

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

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

i dont know what source code is, is this a good idea

[–] AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Regardless of whether it is truly superior (it isn't, but neither is Cursor, if you think about it), it is actually more tedious to “cut and paste” the “source code file” and then paste back the output.

It is far simpler to just initiate a chat within Cursor, allowing it to identify all the files necessary for context alongside the one being viewed.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 hours ago

That explains a lot, actually.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 10 points 7 hours ago

Cut and paste, what is this 1996?
