    A model like ChatGPT is fine tuned by human reinforcement, it will contain the biases of the humans tuning it. In this case the far left leaning wokies in San Francisco. If you share those biases you will wonder what the issue is.

    Since when has AI been too woke to generate helpful answers? it's not like it will produce a PS script which is going to be more effective, so unless you're a 10yo who asks "what's a d i ck hahahaha", I doubt it will make much of a difference. It's one for the Musky lover brigade.

    Considering how much fake tulip the Gaza stuff has shown on twitter, how delusional Musk has become, I can't see Grok being remotely useful.
    So much like it did in Data Science, millions spent and the results are "it may rain".

    I like the footnote at the bottom of the article about the writer:

    Jeremy Johnson is a Tesla investor and supporter. He first invested in Tesla in 2017 after years of following Elon Musk and admiring his work ethic and intelligence. Since then, he's become a Tesla bull

    It was also a handy way of hiding his more controversial thoughts around government and how it should be run.

    It was also a word for a concept that Heinlein could not define himself, which was rather the point. To Grok something was to understand it at such a fundamental level that you could make it do "stuff", from a spoon stirring a pot of spaghetti sauce by itself to making something disappear itself from the universe completely. The basic idea is that if you don't have the concept of a thing, you won't have a word for it, but that different intelligences will have different concepts and hence different words.

    But that diversion aside, it is a book well worth reading and Jubal Harshaw a man worth emulating - although some millennials will have problems with the attitudes in it.

    The word "grok", coined in the novel, made its way into the English language. In Heinlein's invented Martian language, "grok" literally means "to drink" and figuratively means "to comprehend", "to love", and "to be one with". The word rapidly became common parlance among science fiction fans, hippies, and later computer programmers[20] and hackers,[21] and has since entered the Oxford English Dictionary.[22]
