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

My sibling in christ, we are trying to code not cause a NATO conflict.
I’d love to see Linus verbally bitchslap the fuckwit. Or physically, that’d be cool too.

I am a professional encoder and I always put all my codes in a single big file marked EXE for faster execution.
James? I told you not to share or office secrets!
What does the office secrete?
Garbage code. Sadly
Fucking James 😤
Don't forget to put them all in italics so they execute faster!
No, that makes them slower because theyre leaning into the wind. You want to try to mostly use A's, because they're the most aerodynamic, and anything else should be formatted as subscript to keep code size down and reduce drag. C should be avoided at all costs because it's just going to catch the wind.
Can you use T's though, once you have enough As to redirect the wind overtop them? Capital T's of course, lower-case would just get all tangled up in the turbulence.
Conclusive proof that D is faster than C, 2025

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.

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

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

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.
Hmm, can you upload files? Wonder if they set an upper limit. Wonder which language would burn the most cycles?
Knowing how half-assed they've been deploying Grok a ZIP bomb would probably work on it if they allowed file uploads.
I really want someone to try this and report back. It really does feel like something that could execute.

Do you have to print it out and scan it first?
Only if you don’t have a fax.
It will definitely not report back to Musk on your proprietary code...
Because Musk wouldn't understand shit, it'll report back to some Indian guy instead.
how does the AI know what the rest of the project is like? Or what the purpouse of the file is?
What do you mean "rest of the project"? Don't you put all of everything into a singular neatly contained file? It's way more optimized that way
That's how I read the tweet, dork never got further than Programming 1

Using Grok to develop Grok... This sounds like Model Collapse with extra steps.
