Not sure if you’re joking but Tay was not supposed to have any kind of political bent, they just made it far too easy for Tay to “learn” from the people it talked to, so people were racist to it on purpose so it would become racist.
The way Heinlin used it, grok is a deeper understanding, past comprehension, to the point of something being part of your very soul. To “grok” something is to truly know it with all of your being.
It’s an arrogant name for an AI, which is no surprise based on its owner.
It comes from a book called Stranger in a Strange Land written by Robert Heinlein. In the book, if someone groks something, the person understands and loves that thing in a fundamental and complete way.
The Martian Race had encountered the people of the fifth planet, grokked them completely, and had taken action; asteroid ruins were all that remained, save that the Martians continued to praise and cherish the people they had destroyed.
This quote doesn’t define the word, though. As per the article, Grok means “to understand completely” not “to obliterate”.
After the Martians grokked them, they realized there was no option but to obliterate them. This is possibly a valid response, depending how terrible the occupants of said planet were.
It’s still a bad name for a chat bot, as they clearly do not understand anything completely, or at all.
According to the book, grok is the Martian word for “to drink”. Since water is rare on Mars (and it is needed for life), it is a holy substance. Martians (and people studying the Martian language) share a drink of water to become “water brothers”, bathing is a profound ritual and to understand something or somebody completely is referred to as “drinking” them or it.
I mean, part of groking Mike involved some light cannibalism, and the martians planned on wiping out humanity once they groked them, regardless of any kind of end result.
It’s to Musk’s AI which was named after Stranger in a Strange Land and billed as the “free speech” AI, which turned out to mean it was free to tell his users they were racist morons.
Yeah, the term Grok has been used by nerds for a long time, kind of a signal to other nerds. At some point, Elon Musk started using it too. So now, it’s basically been co-opted by the right wing. But Pim’s xeet kind of suggests they’re turning away from it?
Is this referring to Stranger in a Strange Land grok or explicitly caveman grok?
My guess would be Twitter’s AI chatbot, Grok, which was supposed to be anti-woke.
Didn’t Microsoft release one of those years ago? I believe it was called Tay

This is amazing
Isn’t grok also a slang word from A Clockwork Orange, meaning to understand, like the way grasp is used?
It comes from a book called A Stranger in a Strange Land written by Robert Heinlein.

This is the general meaning of the word “to grok”, as originated in Heinlein’s book “Stranger in a Strange Land”.
What the fuck kind of name is “Grok” for an AI chatbot?

A really bad one.
