Come to think of it, “share and enjoy” is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

    I wouldn’t have expected Musk to have read it.

    Who said he actually did? The term “grok” is listed in The Jargon File / The New Hacker’s Dictionary. Musk probably read it long ago. …Like every proper geek. Nowadays, every time he drops an epic meme (as kids say these days), it’s a hazily remembered reference to something nerdy from ages gone by, and it just demonstrates he has absolutely no idea about the context.

      Maybe I misunderstood OP?

      I don’t think I’ve ever read The Jargon File or The New Hacker’s Dictionary, but I definitely read Heinlen for fun in college. My educational background is in the social sciences and humanities.

      Good point about his lack of context though!

      I just rewatched a show called Devs with a friend. One of the striking moments was when one of the characters recites some poetry and the techy boss didn’t seem to care about how literature can inform and enrich our lives.
