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

EVERYTHING'S COMPUTAH!

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 25 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 hours ago (1 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 4 points 39 minutes ago

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

[–] Davin@lemmy.world 64 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

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

Drop the executable in the GrokBox

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago (1 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.

Have you used GenAI for art? It can do a reasonable job for the entire composition, but the extra fine detail have to be inpainted with specific prompts, and there are special routines that make sure faces and hands look human.

The same with code. It can outline the entire project but details need to be inpainted and specific errors handled.

The context window can't handle an entire codebase, never mind multiple projects.

[–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 3 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 39 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 107 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 38 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] saimen@feddit.org 3 points 30 minutes ago

Not copy-paste. Cut-paste. As an additional feature that way your source code becomes as light weighted as 0 Kb.

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

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.

[–] Quik@infosec.pub 0 points 42 minutes ago (1 children)

Is using it without paying him anything fine?

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 22 minutes ago

no. It will give grok data to learn from. Don't use it at all.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 26 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You're probably preaching to the choir here. lol

[–] turdburglar@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world -2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I men, grok 4 only just came out. Can’t really judge it based on previous models

[–] Traister101@lemmy.today 1 points 23 minutes ago

Very true the last ones weren't going around spewing as many Nazi talking points

[–] uss_entrepreneur@startrek.website 22 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

His engineers swear by it! To his face, at least.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 hours ago

When he asks to see their code, they send him a single file.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 25 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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 24 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 167 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Get popcorn ready

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

Enjoy popcorn

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 112 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] unwillingsomnambulist@midwest.social 36 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 11 points 4 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

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 297 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

Why are all my variables suddenly named after SS officers?

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.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 205 points 13 hours ago (8 children)

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