1. Hard Pass.
   The more I understand the universe, the less I enjoy it.

2. I prefer to read books and draw with ink.
   However, have fun, or whatever…

3. It’s all Grok to me.

4. Not suggesting you use it, I suggest you watch the video to understand the significance of this thing so you don’t get broadsided.

   1. Oh, please, Kate.
      With all due respect…
      Not using this shite avoids their stupid “broad sword”.
      The geeks will inherent nothing.
      Abide and stay strong.
      The new ephemeral is just that.
      Grok that, valentine.

   2. I watched 15 minutes and scrolled ahead to a few spots.

      Conclusion: this old groik is doomed to be broadsided by grok.

   3. I harbor no delusions … yeah, I’ll be replaced by some precocious 10yo clicking through AI. I’ve always thought my creative profession (and talent) was tech-proof. Nah, now some sphrockets whirring in circles will create BETTER than me … and worse … do it in no time whatsoever. Yes, I know we have SSD’s so nothing is whirring anymore … but I still like the analog imagery.

      Yep, and it won’t take very long either …

5. What happens when we find the “answer”?
   Maybe the trick to being human is always wondering and once in awhile you find a little hint to the meaning of things in the people you meet especially as you get closer to your expiration date.

   1. “…… especially as you get closer to your expiration date.”
      Seems to be working that way for me.

      1. If I recall Heinlien’s Stranger in a strange land correctly (been many moons), Valentine finally understood (groked) human nature when he saw a big monkey take away a banana from a smaller monkey.
         Stand me corrected, as it’s been a while since I read that paperback novel.

   2. I think the “answer” is 42.

6. Maybe get grok to take out the accents of the guys explaining it.

7. Anyways, I don’t need grok to unlock the secrets of the universe. It was created by the Great Manitou and will disappear because of Israel and climate change.

   Greta told me.

8. I prefer my people smart and my appliances dumb..

   1. So basically, it is the equivalent to the electronic version of a million microscopic monkeys hammering away on a million microscopic typewriters trying to unlock the secrets of the universe..

      I’ll save you the trouble, the answer is 42..

      1. or 47,

         1. …should have been 46.

      2. “I’ll save you the trouble, the answer is 42..”

         Belgium! Beat me to it!

         1. The complete answer is: “Invade Belgium!”

      3. Ah yes more people who are readers. 42 it is.

   2. The appliances will allow us to dispense with a lot of people who only think they’re smart, being actually unable to do anything a computer can’t do.

      People who actually do something useful a robot can’t do will never be in want. Poppycock artists, not so much.

9. More mindless blather will be produced. More idiots trained.

   1. you nailed the post secondary system these latter days

10. Without California the Dems would never win again.
