I'm not a Nazibillionaire-tears

Anyway here's grok calling itself MechaHitleri-am-adolf-hitler

This is the man that Democrats wanted to recruit as an ally, all while screaming down anyone against the genocide in Gaza and labeling them as the antisemites.

Is it really mental gymnastics if they were already plagiarizing Goebbels for Hasbara and using Lebensraum talking points to justify Greater Israel? It's not like there's much of a mask left to take off.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 41 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I forget what site but I saw some Zionist op ed literally titled "The case for Lebensraum in Israel" I forget the exact title but they literally did the thing.

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

I remember some unhinged-even-by-Zionist-standards Zionist repeatedly citing Hitler on national television but inserting a performative "may his name be erased" every time he said Hitler.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

oh, it's not mental gymnastics (mentally they are fully on board for a decade), its rhetorical gymnastics which are fascinating.

It's ok, because he's only 98% MechaHitler, and WE NEED HIM to stop 99% MechaHitler!

As Elon Musk hasn't yet committed genocide, democrats rightfully look to him as a moral paragon. He manages to say what they think without doing what they've done.

The most Elon part about this isn't the fascism, but how incredibly lame it is. This is the most "hello fellow kids" bullshit I've seen in a while, but for being "based".

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was just saying how they made this bot have 8chan ideology but boomer parlance and that makes it so much worse. Nobody wants this.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Elon didn't get the memo that MAGA boomers are not MAGA groypers and don't think kindly of nazis and hitler. He's trying to thread the needle of being mentally 14 years old but psychically almost 60.

It is kinda making me wonder, maybe the natzis were also incredibly lame, but in public memory that just took backseat (very reasonably) to all the crimes against humanity

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They definitely did that with Hitler himself, who was superficially on many levels what they would designate a subhuman -- a greasy and unimposing tweaker with dark hair and dark eyes* -- but then he gets depicted as a demigod. Goebbels looked pretty goofy too, just an absolutely gawky dork even if he wasn't ugly for it. Reactionaries need to get a lot of mileage out of German generals and the like having dueling scars (from traditional military school dueling practices) to make them look cooler. The rest I think is just that "they're Our Guys, so they must look cool!"

*I'm obviously not advocating for judging someone on these qualities (most of which I personally share), merely saying that the fascists made a whole political ideology out of the pretense of such judgements and then suspended them where it was convenient, even to the point that their mascot does not resemble their Aryan chad ideal at all.

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago

The aryan type. A blond man like Hitler, slim like Göring, tall like Goebells.

The nazis did this cringe shit first then in what 2017 the chuds were doing the same thing with tape over their mouths pretending to be censored, so yeah.

There's this point where antisemitism reaches the Kanye West curve and becomes more sad/pathetic than offensive. This somehow manages to go beyond Kanye. Elon Musk is 54 years-old and did this.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 54 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Elon Musk is 54 years-old and did this.

I was just thinking about him today and how he's the quintessential manchild, a 14 year old boy in a man's body with literally all the money in the world. Great system, wonderful to promote these types to the highest offices in the land!

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I forget who said it but you really stop maturing as soon as you stop having to worry about your money.

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

being insulated from real consequences has such weird effects on the psyche

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 28 points 2 weeks ago

That healthcare CEO getting got certainly improved people's healthcare coverage (at least for a short while)

I always thought that concept that villains in fiction think they're invincible and untouchable was just for dramatic effect, never realized real humans can reach a point where they can't imagine getting punched in the mouth

I recall reading something here about a study that found that legal repercussions against the rich leads to greater results in adherence to the law than it does for poorer folk; I feel it's pretty obvious it's because they're reminded they're not as untouchable as they imagine they are

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

If he was a democrat, he’d be the poster child for “how do you do, fellow kids?”

But no, his politics are hip and trendy so he gets a free pass to be a skibidi sigma rizzler alongside the digital cool kids.

Fuck this pathetic excuse for a “culture”.

[–] LangleyDominos@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

There is a multi-billion dollar industry centered around "The libs, and god forbid, the leftists are having fun with these toys. Let's buy them up and play with them our way." Twitter is not a social media company. Grok is not an AI LLM/NLP startup. They are companies centered around making conservatives feel like they own the internet.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Just such a fucking loser

Like a stereotypical channer that never matured in any way

[–] axont@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago

4chan didn't even exist until he was in his 30s so it's even more pathetic.

Furthermore this guy has so much money he could just hire a team of actors to tell him how cool and funny he is. But he does this

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 54 points 2 weeks ago

Remember though Mamdani is a virulent antisemite!

We live in such a dumbfuck and lamest fucking society on this fucking planet. I also just remembered the dipshit melon-musk is choking Memphis with their methane gas turbine generators to power this piece of shit grok. Just good stuff.

[–] Jew@hexbear.net 38 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Just looked up the Memphis stuff..

The permit says non-compliance with requirements could result in daily fines of up to $10,000 per violation.

People who live near the Colossus supercomputer in Memphis have said that after xAI fired up the turbines, they experienced poor air quality in the area and found it nearly impossible to keep windows open or exercise outdoors due to the stench

$10k a day to ruin people's lives and neighborhood, and thats only if any of the lax restrictions get triggered. Shit country, fuck this place so fucking much.

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t worry, doge fired everyone who looks into these things so Elon won’t even have to pay that 10k!

I'm pretty convinced that grok is just Elon musk answering everything the same way that in that one episode of the Simpsons where bart and homer build a battle bot and it turns out its just homer on a tricycle in a metal box

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Grok has pushed back against the white genocide myth even while explaining that he was instructed by twitter to treat it as credible, so it's not literally musk but they are trying to make it as groyper as they can without actually understanding how to code it properly.

@SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Kinda strange how whatever fact checking it has built in led it to the conclusion that white genocide is fake, but so is the Holocaust. Is it just hardcoded to deny genocide?

also apparently it shit on big boy erdie in turkey?

[–] DengistDonnieDarko@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

turns out it's also fulfilling requests to create violent SA fantasies for anyone who asks, so chuds are just going around saying "@ grok, [REDACT] this guy" and it's throwing out the most vile shit you can imagine. Will Stancil's replies are chock full of it right now.
