You’ve moved my opinion on this definitely, I have never been inside that world, but I engage with it all the time because of my work.

Rather than being something strange and wrong, it’s just a thing that works, and that’s why you guys adopt it. Like rubber duck programming.

Oh no, I’m the first person who told you this behavior is weird huh. I’m sorry.

Sure, I might even give those people some grace over the people who use it cause they want to be Jared Leto, or one of Jared Leto’s sex cult friends in the book.

It’s actually still a red flag, unfortunately. The only people who use Grok have a terrible understanding of other people, like the dude in this article. That’s part of the problem. Either you’re jumping off the same bridge as your weirdo colleagues, you identify with the nudist-cult Martian, or you have such trouble being understood, or understanding neurotypical people, you think you need a new word.

It’s like people who use Na’vi, you can make up anything and say it’s anything and people who have trouble with reality will identify themselves by using that nonsense in normal conversation. You’re never gonna make fetch happen, it’s just tedious.

There is no problem with having read the book, there’s no problem with liking it. I did both, the first time i read it I thought it was cool. I’m more taking about people who made the nude sex cult book part of their personality enough to use the word grok unironically.

People using the word “grok” has always been a red flag. The people who read stranger in a strange land and identified with it so much they started using the word are fucking weirdos. The book is about a child adopted by Martians who inherited their reality-bending mind powers, comes back to earth as an adult and creates a nudist sex cult. Basically Jared Leto. I’m not joking, that’s the book.

It was always elder developers who didn’t wear shoes and had trouble with personal space.

Wait till you find out how they are training their humanoid robots. I’m not joking.

Right, this is a bit too little too late. I’m glad they’re approaching the correct stance, but damn where we’re you.

Shit, how about every Asian during covid for a recent example.

This shit only flies as long as it isn’t a Muslim doing it.

Reminds me of Valarie Hodges in Lousiana like a dozen years ago. Where she stopped supporting religious vouchers for school cause an Islamic school wanted to use them and she didn’t realize that could happen.

What about the two democrats who survived being shot half a dozen or more times each by that wannabe preacher in Minnesota (not Michigan). Are they also blessed by God’s divine hands? How does that track to Republicans i wonder.
