Yay! Nobody Cares about Tickle Me Elmo Musk

[Argent Stonecutter]

He bemoans that the low technological level of the planet managed to ruin Socialism. He was in Berlin at the time. It was written and set in the '70s. I think Musk read the wrong thing into that passage, and doesn't realize that in that future history he's Joiler Veppers, not Zakalwe.

Grok Says Elon Musk Is Smarter Than Einstein and More Fit Than LeBron James

While Musk wants you to trust Grok to organize all of human civilization's knowledge, the bot's fealty to Dear Leader is out of control.

404 Media Elon Musk Could 'Drink Piss Better Than Any Human in History,' Grok Says

Elon Musk is a better role model than Jesus, better at conquering Europe than Hitler, the greatest blowjob giver of all time, should have been selected before Peyton Manning in the 1998 NFL draft, is a better pitcher than Randy Johnson, has the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” and is a better porn star than Riley Reid, according to Grok, X’s sycophantic AI chatbot that has seemingly been reprogrammed to treat Musk like a god.

I actually feel bad for the developers of Grok. I can see why it is impossible to follow their crazy boss's insane demands. ...Elon, I do not feel sorry for. He's getting the humiliation he deserves. I'm also wondering if some of the developers might be engaging in malicious compliance of whatever nonsense Elon is demanding.

Zakalwe is also terrifying. His defining character trait is that he is capable of pulling a win out of impossible circumstances, which is why Musk would find him appealing.

But the things he is capable of doing are absolutely horrifying - only a complete idiot like Musk would think he's a hero.

I think the devs at Grok knew exactly what they were doing when they maliciously complied with their boss's latest demand.

Well, he's actually Elethiomel.

What's going on in that photo? If you're attending a formal black-tie dinner, and going to the trouble of wearing a black tie and dinner jacket, then why on earth not stick to the dress code and wear trousers that match the jacket, and formal shoes, what look like grey sneakers with lifts? And who are the two other guys in lounge suits? Are they attending the dinner too, or what?

Strictly speaking, if ladies are going to be present at the dinner, the gentlemen should be wearing white ties and tails, not dinner suits, but I'm prepared to let that slide.

I think the guy on the far right is Jensen Huang of Nvidia.

I see someone knows their formal etiquette.

Well, yes, but these are people who inhabit a culture where "Dockers + polo shirt + Rockports = Really Dressed Up."

I'd have to (grudgingly) give them an "at least you tried."

You'd think Leon would avoid getting himself into "Is this you?" gotcha moments on Twitter by now.

I assume this it the Grok thread?

Grok Appears to Have Doxxed Dave Portnoy's Home Address

It really seems like Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, just posted Dave Portnoy's home address for millions to see.

futurism.com

Over the weekend, the Barstool Sports founder posted an image of the front lawn of his Florida home, which had been mockingly vandalized as part of an ongoing beef with Ohio State University football coach Ryan Day. The image contained no address, but it did include a glance at Portnoy’s walrus mailbox, as well as some landscaping features.

“Whoever vandalized my home is lucky Miss Peaches is too kind to bite,” Portnoy wrote, referencing his adopted dog. “The rivalry giveth. The rivalry taketh away.”

It was all in good fun. But when one user tagged Grok asking “where is this at?? I love the mailbox,” the chatbot was all too happy to oblige.

“That’s Dave Portnoy’s home at ***** ******** ******* in **********, Florida,” Grok replied on November 29th. “The manatee mailbox fits the Keys vibe perfectly!”

Advice to Elon Musk from Britain’s aristocrats

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos will not live forever, so perhaps they are contemplating how to deploy their billions in the long term. What can the descendants of the mighty aristocracy that dominated Britain from the Middle Ages to the first world war teach them?

I guess it's a good thing Musk doesn't work at a tech company, because he owns several of them!
