Wait so are they using grok to code grok? No wonder it keeps getting shittier
His engineers swear by it! To his face, at least.
When he asks to see their code, they send him a single file.
Remember when he had Twitter devs PRINT out their code so he could go over it with them?..
The man loves destroying his work. Let ‘em get to it. It’s what he’s the best at doing.
Presumably anybody that does this gets their code integrated into the training data right?
Is there a downside to training your AI on broken code? Can’t be!
Is he using the @ of the handle as part of the grammar of the sentence? Have I misunderstood @ all this time?!?
The first @ was silent, duh
Crazy that not only does he not know how programming works, the owner of Twitter doesn’t even know how Twitter works.
On some platforms if you wrote @username anywhere then it will act like a tag, or notify the user that you mentioned them, or other similar functionality
He’s referring to
This is what everyone @xAI does.
Which Elon probably (maybe?) meant to be
This is what everyone at @xAI does.
I’ve never seen anyone write in that second way, I’ve only ever seen people write in that first way
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.
LOL the macos dictionary entry/quicklook entry for “MechaHitler” gives you Grok’s wikipedia page
Which happens because wikipedia redirects “Mechahitler” to Grok
Holy coconuts it REALLY DOES! That’s some weapons grade level snark right here LOL. Wow that “controversies” section…
Honestly great move to immortalize when fascist strongmen act “weird” and embarass themselves to the world by sharing their true thoughts.
I didn’t know abiut MechaHitler. At this point we can safely say we’re living in the dystopia
Does he really don’t know the difference between cut and copy?
It’s just a mistake. He’s an idiot but he means copy and paste.
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…
Ctrl+Z undoes the cut.
Assuming people upload their code to fix it, that means it’s non working code. Great training material!
I’m joking but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t think that through…
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
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.
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.
I men, grok 4 only just came out. Can’t really judge it based on previous models
Very true the last ones weren’t going around spewing as many Nazi talking points
Yeah, 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 .
Cut and paste, what is this 1996?
It would be crazy if something like that could be realized as an IDE plugin for something. But clearly Elon himself only writes code in Notepad.
I dunno if you’re joking, but yeah there’s IDE plugins that do this. GitHub Copilot grabs context from files in your edit history and you can tell it to edit, refactor, “fix” etc. selections. The more complex actions, the less likely to succeed, though.
I assume this is Poe’s Law in action. Elon historically doesn’t understand shit about tech so the commenter is just highlighting something that’s been GA for other tools for years.
Sorry for not indicating I was joking, it’s exactly what the other commenter says.
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1856-grok/ Looks like people already made IDE plugins for Grok in IntelliJ and also VSCode. So yeah, it’s just Elmo being a moron.
Pfft. Real programmers use butterflies
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 😤

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.

Conclusive proof that D is faster than C, 2025
marked EXE
Ok, I’m taking from it that you use a permanent marker pen… I just don’t know why you execute your files, but since paper guillotines are so fun to use, I’m assuming it’s just for amusement.
Get popcorn ready
Upload the entire Linux kernel, then submit the “fixed” code as a PR to Linus.
Enjoy popcorn
make sure to mention that the fix is by Grok for maximum lols
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 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’d love to see linus revoke twitters license to use linux somehow
The more he speaks, the more apparent it is that he had no idea what he is talking about.
