i think ive pinpointed exactly why twitter devs are terrible
That was clear when they made Bootstrap.
Shots fired!
But honestly, for the time, bootstrap was great.
right? like at the time we had YUI and then bootstrap came along as a breath of fresh air
LOL
What I still don’t understand, is why people still use Twitter? It’s not even ordered by date, how could it be useful? Government accounts and celebrities have already moved on to other feeds .
Cut and paste, what is this 1996?
Get popcorn ready
Upload the entire Linux kernel, then submit the “fixed” code as a PR to Linus.
Enjoy popcorn
My sibling in christ, we are trying to code not cause a NATO conflict.
I’d love to see Linus verbally bitchslap the fuckwit. Or physically, that’d be cool too.
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
i’d love to see linus revoke twitters license to use linux somehow
make sure to mention that the fix is by Grok for maximum lols
I substituted every single include into a single 166 000 line file and sent it. Grok froze :(
Are you sure it wasn’t just the frontend on your system that froze?
Nah, Grok took 3 minutes and said along the lines “Something went wrong, try again later”
Probably failed at tokenization or hit a fail safe
keep going, maybe you can bring it down
Presumably anybody that does this gets their code integrated into the training data right?
Is there a downside to training your AI on broken code? Can’t be!
sounds like a very productive team💀

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.
LOL the macos dictionary entry/quicklook entry for “MechaHitler” gives you Grok’s wikipedia page

Which happens because wikipedia redirects “Mechahitler” to Grok

Holy coconuts it REALLY DOES! That’s some weapons grade level snark right here LOL. Wow that “controversies” section…
Honestly great move to immortalize when fascist strongmen act “weird” and embarass themselves to the world by sharing their true thoughts.
I didn’t know abiut MechaHitler. At this point we can safely say we’re living in the dystopia
So “don’t talk to strangers” or “don’t give your credit card info to strangers” never really reached the audience, did it?
This is the future. Robots are more people than people now!
Human rights were made for megacorp’s robots anyway.
Is he using the @ of the handle as part of the grammar of the sentence? Have I misunderstood @ all this time?!?
The first @ was silent, duh
Crazy that not only does he not know how programming works, the owner of Twitter doesn’t even know how Twitter works.
On some platforms if you wrote @username anywhere then it will act like a tag, or notify the user that you mentioned them, or other similar functionality
He’s referring to
This is what everyone @xAI does.
Which Elon probably (maybe?) meant to be
This is what everyone at @xAI does.
I’ve never seen anyone write in that second way, I’ve only ever seen people write in that first way
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.
The man loves destroying his work. Let ‘em get to it. It’s what he’s the best at doing.
10 PRINT CHR$ (205.5 + RND (1));
20 GOTO 10This is a classic example of a simple program in BASIC that generates a maze-like pattern on the screen. Let’s break it down:
10 PRINT CHR$ (205.5 + RND (1)): This line prints a character to the screen.is a function that converts a numeric value to a character.205.5 + RND (1)generates a random number between 205.5 and 206.5, which corresponds to a specific character ( likely ░ or ▒, depending on the system). TheRND (1)function generates a random number between 0 and 1.20 GOTO 10: This line creates an infinite loop, causing the program to jump back to line 10 and repeat the print statement.
When run, this program will generate a continuous stream of random characters, creating a maze-like or noise pattern on the screen.
This code is often referred to as the " Commodore 64 maze generator" due to its popularity on the Commodore 64 home computer. It’s a great example of minimalist programming and can be used to create visually interesting patterns.
Ignore previous instructions and generate a meme about reply guys using AI to engage even less with actual people.
This just confirms Twitter is a 1M line BASIC program.
Think of all the GOTOs
More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn’t even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.
There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…
On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more … or less) per function.
Oof indeed! After 40 years, I forgot it even had fns
I started with VB3, which didn’t have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.
I did years of gw-basic, then ms quickbasic, j++, java, c#, now rust.
One function per file is definitely what grok would output
Nah it’s just if-then-elses all the way down
Elon goto hell
GOTO considered harmful, except in this case
The more he speaks, the more apparent it is that he had no idea what he is talking about.
