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.

Does he really don't know the difference between cut and copy?

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

What if this is a plot to literally steal your code? You give it to the AI, page refreshes and clears your clipboard. Your entire "source code file" is now theirs, and probably part of the training set for Grok 5.

The first part is a joke, but the second part...

The man loves destroying his work. Let ‘em get to it. It’s what he’s the best at doing.

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

[–] bathing_in_bismuth@sh.itjust.works 17 points 12 hours ago

Drop the executable in the GrokBox

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Dhar@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

Add the other project folder to your workspace. BAM, now it has backend context in the frontend.

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

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] wintermute@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He probably thinks that the entire application is only one source file

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

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

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 59 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

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

I saw him do a show in Florida and he started bashing republicans during a joke when a bunch of people in the audience started booing and leaving. He calls them all dipshits and dives into doing a bunch of jokes further questioning their intelligence before winning back the crowd. It was very impressive.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 hours ago

I love Stavrose baby. He is awesome and doesn't give a fuck what people think.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

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

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

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 33 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You're probably preaching to the choir here. lol

[–] turdburglar@sh.itjust.works 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

You'd have to say it on the platforms normies use, make it short and attention-grabbing, a drone shot, a couple of tits...

Get popcorn ready

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

Enjoy popcorn

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 133 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] unwillingsomnambulist@midwest.social 45 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 26 points 14 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

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

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.

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

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 26 points 18 hours ago

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

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