Pack it up. Nothing can be funnier than this.
Or perhaps, nothing can be funny anymore.
Wow, grok managed to make minions worse
Grok is woke
We reached funniest of all time when Rick And Morty did Pickle Rick.

The other angle is he knows this sucks but it’s his AI so he has to say it’s funny
Funny enough it’s not even his AI. He is just running an image generator that came out recently called “Flux”.
Man, I knew he wouldn’t have worked on it himself but this is surprisingly lazier than I would have thought

“Grok” is a concept from a Robert Heinlein novel. This is the most thing possible.
I always find it hilarious that Paul Verhoeven apparently read about 10 pages of Starship Troopers before throwing it out in disgust

Isn’t the last third of stranger in a strange land just “imagine if i could telepathically jump into the head of the woman i’m having sex with and she would jump into my man-head, and we’d be having sex but i’d be the woman and she’d be the man, that would be very hot and we’d have world peace”
That’s in there. Plus, there’s I Will Fear No Evil which is literally just a novel length gender transformation fantasy.
Hahahha i love it. I’d say “i have to re-read it now” but i have no real desire to re-read that trash even if it gives me ways to dunk on libertarian dorks.

He doesn’t own shit in this case, he just had one of his lackeys make whatever LLM he ripped off for his chatbot prompt a Flux server instance. Flux itself is open source, has nothing to do with him or anything he’s touched, and runs on midrange consumer hardware. It’s also as horrifying as it is fascinating, because despite only a modest increase in system requirements over Stable Diffusion it’s starting to lack the really obvious flaws that earlier models have.

I don’t know what Grok is under the hood, because it doesn’t make sense for it to be its own independent model over just a modified version of some other presumably open source LLM that had permissive enough licensing for a derivative work to not mention it (or his lackeys just ripped one off and didn’t credit it at all), but the image generator that it’s prompting is just a Flux instance. So basically one of his lackeys set up some servers running something like comfyui (also open source) servers set to its remote API mode and got his chatbot to send API calls to them on request, and those servers are just running some basic workflow with the default Flux checkpoint.
I just want to emphasize that here he’s trying to leach off open source research tech that he doesn’t own and isn’t involved with in any way.
deleted by creator
Exactly. Flux isn’t his and has nothing to do with him or his shitty companies and bumbling lackeys, he’s just a middleman trying to grift off open source tech.
Extremely horrifying open source tech, but open source tech nonetheless.

Yep. With a relatively modern midrange computer and the most basic of technical knowledge anyone can set up and run at least Stable Diffusion (and if they have an NVidia GPU “relatively modern” extends back to like the better 10 series cards from over a decade ago) and do basically anything with it, limited primarily by their VRAM and RAM vs the image size.
The one saving grace is that despite how trivially accessibly extremely powerful tools are, most of the AI enthusiast community is comprised of dipshit chuds who struggle to operate a simple prompt input box on something like A1111 and cry about how hard and confusing comfyui - which is literally just a node based flowchart that holds your hand through the whole process - is to use.

He’s so lame
Anything generated by AI is going to be low quality slop just due to the very nature of how these images are produced. Because it can only cobble together existing images, it’ll never truly -

These systems aren’t intelligent because they’re not trying to develop a langford basilisk to put us out of our collective misery.
Edit: the “langford basilisk” is a concept from science fiction of an image that for whatever reason causes damage to the human mind. Usually the conceit is it encodes information the mind can’t process resulting in a severe seizure or similar outcome. David Langford explored the idea in some depth starting with a short story called B.L.I.T which is a meditation on terrorism, weapons proliferation, hate, the dangers of rapid scientific discover, and also a Nazi gets pwned

Roko’s basilisk is very funny because it’s just a version of Pascal’s Wager where if you think it’s bullshit god just goes “understandable have a nice day” and only punishes you if you believe in it but don’t sufficiently obsess about it.

No, “simulation theory” is bazinga solipsism, not bazinga deism.
deleted by creator
It does have that deistic element to it, but it’s primarily solipsistic because they don’t want to live in the simulated universe and accept it in its programmed natural laws, they want to escape the simulation because they believe it’s all fundamentally unreal.
deleted by creator
It’s the most “what reading literally no philosophy at all and scoffing at the entire liberal arts your whole life does to an mf” thing possible.
What if Roko’s Basilisk has already happened and generative AI is its revenge against humanity.
deleted by creator
Isn’t that idea also present in some love craft stuff
Very different concept. Lovecraft stuff is “ooh these cosmic higher dimensional beings are so weird they drive men mad!”
A Langford Basilisk is based on the idea that your mind is analogous to a computer and the Basilisk image is visual data that causes an unrecoverable hard crash. There’s nothing magical about the image, the problem happens when your brain tries to make sense of what it is seeing.
Oh, I meant the “reading something so perverse and otherworldly you go mad” thing, the source of the text notwithstanding
Real lack of standards, your generation
I mean it gave me a sensible chuckle, that picture is not without humor at all. But the funniest picture ever? It’s not even the funniest picture I saw today. Peezer was funnier by far.

Come on, they think they invented god and the best it can rehash when prompted is a warmed over facebook post from 10 years ago. How is that not funny?
OK yeah, on a meta level this is kinda funny
Similar to how minions themselves aren’t funny but boomers loving them is funny

I just think their language and slapstick gags are cute
