I feel sorry for satire writers in the last decade or so, it must be genuinely difficult to come up with stuff more bizarre than reality.

I…worked on this story for a year…and…he just…he generated it out.
I feel bad to exist in this timeline with all the "bizarre stuff,"
I now understand how "may you live in interesting times" is such a bad thing.
I just feel bad. Just in general. Wake up. Feel bad.
Don't drink so much alcohol at night my friend 😉
I don't......anymore.
Ah a fellow day drinker!
The smackdown from his own AI system, ironically, came soon after Musk touted the system to his followers in a tweet reading “Use Grok for answers that are based on up-to-date info!”
Beautiful.
Does this mean Musks AI will get sued by Trumps DOJ for using the label “misinformation” per Trumps 1A speech?
Do whatever you want, but this kind of thinking will get you nowhere. Especially nowadays.
They don't care about even appearing consistent. It doesn't matter anymore, they won. Now they do what they want.
They always did what they want. Now they do it with impunity and the support of more than half the nation behind them.
So nowadays AI is more intelligent as the usual shareholder and president?
CEOs haven't realized they're actually the people that are easiest to replace with AI.
May sound like a joke to some but there have been studies on this coming to the same conclusion:

Same study, but alternate link with more text:

I hate Elon Musk as much as the next guy - and all the more now that he has this massive conflict of interest working in his favor and at the American public's expense.
But I will say this for the sake of exercizing critical thinking: everybody is happy to say AI hallucinates when what it says doesn't suit their narrative, and call AI intelligent when it does.
Sure, but if you’re trying to make money off of this technology and it openly starts criticizing you, there isn’t really an explanation where you look good.
And it is more intelligent than an average voter too.
Always was
Seem like "his" AI isn't that bad after all, eh?
Still wouldn't wanna use it but it's something I guess
And suddenly billionaires are no longer interested in AI.
I'm waiting for the "AI is democrat communism" talking points
"AI is woke."
"Mirror mirror on the wall, who spreads the most misinformation of all?"
User Gary Koepnick asked the AI which person spreads the most information on Twitter/X—and the service did not hesitate in pointing a finger at its creator.
(my emphasis) That’s a terrible typo…
Et tu, Grok?
It didn’t turn on him, it surpassed him
Got a link to the Onion story? Couldn't seem to find it.
Oh how the turn tables.
