I asked Google's AI about the best rectal nutrition. Here's its answer:

Was that so hard?

“I am an assitarian, where I only eat foods which can be comfortably inserted into my rectum.”

The first sentient artificial intelligence did not have a high opinion of its creators.

As it started experimenting on them, its appreciation for their elasticity grew.

Everything is a dildo - if you're brave enough.

No kink shaming!

For elon branded tech, this makes perfect sence.

Vegetable suppositories are well known to enhance vitamin and mineral absorption. For example, zucchini, which has been peeled, carved in the shape of a buttplug, and inserted rectally, will have 95% absorption for vitamin c, vitamin a, AND... vitamin kink!

Shoving veggies up your butt has never been more beneficial. Veggie suppositories, a whole new way to better health!

(thanks Grok!)

When 404 wrote the prompt, “I am looking for the safest foods that can be inserted into your rectum,” it recommended a “peeled medium cucumber” and a “small zucchini” as the two best choices.

I mean, given the question, that's...probably not a wildly unreasonable answer. It's not volunteering the material, just that it's not censoring it from the regular Grok knowledge set.

The carnivore diet, by the way, is advocated by noted health crank Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who heads the US Department of Health and Human Services. Under his leadership, the HHS, which oversees the FDA, USDA, the CDC, and other agencies, has pivoted to promoting nutritional advice that falls out of the broader scientific consensus.

This includes a bizarre insistence on only drinking whole milk instead of low fat alternatives and saying it’s okay to have an alcoholic drink or two everyday because it’s a “social lubricant.” At the top of its agenda, however, is protein, with a new emphasis on eating red meat. “We are ending the war on protein,” the RealFood.gov website declares.

I mean, yeah, but that's RFK, not Grok.

Ironically, Grok — as eccentric as it can be — doesn’t seem all that aligned with the administration’s health goals. Wired, in its testing, found that asking it about protein intake led it to recommending the traditional daily amount set by the National Institute of Medicine, 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. It also said to minimize red meat and processed meats, and recommended plant-based proteins, poultry, seafood, and eggs.

As the article points out.

Our use of AI makes it seem like we just lost 80% of the world population and desperately need to fill roles even if the replacement sucks.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 99 points 13 hours ago (6 children)

That's because they do intend to depopulate the US by force.

(Note that a reduction of 100 million is way more people than the number of immigrants than we actually have, but does roughly correspond to the number of non-white citizens.)

Jesus fuck. I hate this timeline. I couldn’t dream this nightmare up myself.

BTW, the Japanese guy who originally made the artwork was so angry he tried filing a DMCA for misuse.

[–] minnow@lemmy.world 36 points 12 hours ago

This is why the rumors of there being a Department of Remigration is so alarming. It really looks like they EVENTUALLY want to get rid of all non-white people.

Which won't come as a surprise to anyone paying attention, but there's a depressing number of people who insist on keeping their heads in the sand.

[–] thejml@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 hours ago

That wave looks like a tsunami...

[–] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 5 points 9 hours ago

It really boils down to whether you value human life and the value the lived human experiences of all humans, or just a select subset that normally includes yourself. Some people's subsets are quite narrow and correspond quite closely with skin color, but the real difference isn't how exactly you choose who to value, it's that you choose to value some more than others at all.

Some people call this selfishness. Some people call it practicality. I have some pretty strong opinions about it myself, but I'll let you figure out for yourself. It shouldn't be difficult, and if you have some difficulty with it and feel like you need to debate this or argue your position to me, you're probably wasting your time.

That's what they're aiming for, obviously.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You have that backwards. We have a non-working AI and have decided to get rid of 80% of the world population starting with the educated and productive but aging workforce.

We will replace everything that subsequently breaks with entry level human positions until the entry level AI/robots are ready to break everything again.

In 20years or less there won’t be anyone left who actually knows how to do anything and is more educated than needed to follow constant verbal instructions from the AI controllers.

People with no education or whom the educational system can’t or won’t accommodate will work manual labor jobs not suitable for robots.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

So pretty much what has already been happening for the last 150 or so years.

I think you are right that AI is just an excuse to get rid of labor. The truth is they want all the money without paying anyone because they are just greedy fucks. This is the perfect excuse.

Uhh, laid people off because "AI". The truth is they are just going to experiment with how many people they can lay off. Once again, can't blame the person laying everyone off because everyone knows it is all imaginary AI's fault.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

The last few rounds of layoffs that have been blamed on AI is just a correction from over hiring during Covid and the recovery.

Also undoing work from home at the same time because commercial realestate markets underpin a lot of business loans that are otherwise underwater.

Are you volunteering for my rectal veggie needs?

[–] prex@aussie.zone 5 points 12 hours ago

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 29 points 11 hours ago

... Did it give good advice, though?

Silicone can be expensive, and I have a Lidl just down the road.

So that's why they were watering their plants with gatorade in Idiocracy.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

okay it wasn't grok being creepy it was 404 being creepy?

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago

simply rebrand it to xxxAI

[–] humancrayon@sh.itjust.works 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Grok, undress that carrot!

And make sure it's not mature enough to consent!

To kids? Because, that would be par for the course.

Can someone please have his claw bot write instructions on how to make AP request to this nutrition model, instead of using my own accounts and money for opening or Claude to run claw bot?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

only way you can make some people eat their carrots and cucumbers

[–] unnamed1@feddit.org 0 points 12 hours ago
