Yeah, that's definitely a thing that is perfectly legal to do. Your company will definitely be fine with that.

my compant pays for openAI and gemini, so I guess they are fine.

The man loves destroying his work. Let ‘em get to it. It’s what he’s the best at doing.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 37 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Does he really don't know the difference between cut and copy?

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

What if this is a plot to literally steal your code? You give it to the AI, page refreshes and clears your clipboard. Your entire "source code file" is now theirs, and probably part of the training set for Grok 5.

The first part is a joke, but the second part...

EVERYTHING'S COMPUTAH!

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I find that without being able to see the rest of my IDE it makes no sense to just paste a single class worth of code at a time in there, it has no context for the rest of the application

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 3 points 1 hour ago

You've heard of monorepos, but have you tried monofile development?

[–] wintermute@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 hours ago

He probably thinks that the entire application is only one source file

[–] Davin@lemmy.world 73 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Yes, I who knows a lot about programming, only use one file per application.

Drop the executable in the GrokBox

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

The entire file! My biggest frustration with cursor is that it doesn't support reading from multiple projects at once so it can see the context of how the projects interact or how interfaces are implemented.

[–] Dhar@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Add the other project folder to your workspace. BAM, now it has backend context in the frontend.

Have you used GenAI for art? It can do a reasonable job for the entire composition, but the extra fine detail have to be inpainted with specific prompts, and there are special routines that make sure faces and hands look human.

The same with code. It can outline the entire project but details need to be inpainted and specific errors handled.

The context window can't handle an entire codebase, never mind multiple projects.

[–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 4 points 6 hours ago

LMAO, yeah let's jist disregard all the other files that are definately not required contextually!!!!

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 42 points 8 hours ago

Presumably anybody that does this gets their code integrated into the training data right?

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 119 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

No one who legitimately knows anything about computing speaks like this.

He’s truly a moron’s hallucination of a genius.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 43 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Wdym. Just copy-paste your source code. Go ahead. That one single file with the source code, copy-paste it.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 9 points 3 hours ago

Not copy-paste. Cut-paste. As an additional feature that way your source code becomes as light weighted as 0 Kb.

I saw him do a show in Florida and he started bashing republicans during a joke when a bunch of people in the audience started booing and leaving. He calls them all dipshits and dives into doing a bunch of jokes further questioning their intelligence before winning back the crowd. It was very impressive.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

I love Stavrose baby. He is awesome and doesn't give a fuck what people think.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

Oh man, the people leaving when he starts. Amazing.

[–] turdburglar@sh.itjust.works 65 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

please don’t use grok.

elon is poisoning the air over memphis with exhaust from the generators that he’s using to power it while using drinking water from the memphis sands aquifer to cool it.

please don’t use grok.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 30 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You're probably preaching to the choir here. lol

[–] turdburglar@sh.itjust.works 18 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

i just wanna keep sayin it out loud so maybe folks remember.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 3 hours ago

You'd have to say it on the platforms normies use, make it short and attention-grabbing, a drone shot, a couple of tits...

[–] Quik -1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Is using it without paying him anything fine?

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 hours ago

no. It will give grok data to learn from. Don't use it at all.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I do work for an AI centric company and we've used almost every major model in some way, shape, or form.

Grok was so bad on all fronts that we ceased using it completely.

So I don't believe this for one second. I don't even find ChatGPT to be useful for code. I'd probably put Claude first and versions of Gemini second, with no current third.

Wait so are they using grok to code grok? No wonder it keeps getting shittier

Get popcorn ready

Upload the entire Linux kernel, then submit the "fixed" code as a PR to Linus.

Enjoy popcorn

Hey Grok, take this one file out of the context of my 250,000 line project and give me that delicious AI slop!

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 24 points 11 hours ago

Just really fuck up this shit. I want it unrecognizable!
