Firstly... no.
Secondly... cut and paste? Not copy?

For one brief, terrifying moment, the source code of my life's work existed only in Groks memory.
Mr. Anderson.
Happy cake day!
not even masking that they just want ~~to steal~~ you to give them all your code.
yes, so u can replace it right away with groks "fixed" version ofc 😊
Obviously, because you need to empty your “source code file” to make room for Grok’s corrected code.
This is the guy who doesn't own a laptop remember.. he may not know the difference, or maybe his lawyer was lying.
I was wide-eyed at this, and then I realized that I don't own a laptop either! I have owned a few, but after my last one died 5+ years ago I've just been using my 10 year old desktop computer which doubles as a home server. I do have a work laptop, but I don't own it.
We'll to be fair they said he doesn't use a computer. So both your old desktop and your work computer I would count as computers you used. I should have worded it more accurately
copypasta
If you are a true believer you only cut and paste, deploy afterwards without checking.
They should do it with grok's source.
would be better if the xAI team just deleted all this shit.
Theoretically, cutting and pasting a file into your browser will just act like copy–pasting, but that's still a dumb way to phrase it.
this is basically
“see if your credit card has been hacked by entering it below!“
yeah let me just give all of my code to elon for free
Hey man how is poor Elon going to make money if people don't give him free shit? Just think of the billionaires.
Ah yes, "fix" it for "free"
Anyone working in software development should be aware that the employment contract most probably contains a non-disclosure clause that forbids to hand business secrets like source code to outsiders, or worse, competitors.

This just in: Elon is a fraud and has no idea what he's doing. More at 10.
Set aside the cut n paste, what exactly would the Grokanical Türk "fix"?
The comments in your code being too woke
Error 608: Insufficient Hitler
Remove all state machine implementations because they support transitions.
I keep seeing claims that grok is a "mechanical Turk", but searching turns up nothing. What evidence is there of this?
I think it's just a joke, as we've seen many AI projects are just Indians.
Yeah it seems pretty unlikely that any AI chat bots are manipulating code in the complex (whether the output is correct or not is immaterial to the complexity of the changes being made) ways that they are that quickly despite actually being done by humans.
Evidence of what?
Of being a person responding instead of an llm.
Oh. Funny, I use the term as a metaphor for a mechanical system that's entertaining but not really useful.
Ah, ok. That's not really what it means, but I see what you meant.
"Cut & paste" and not "copy and paste" because if you cut it, you won't have a copy of it anymore and your code is now Grok's code.
Now, take the code for AI and paste that in. It does not work? Then AI is no good.
