Stop Musk Spam. So sick of it
How do I block musk posts?
- If you have an Android device, use Connect for Lemmy. It can block posts that match keywords. I'm going to add the musky chodelet to my block list I think. I've finally had enough.
  
  good luck blocking posts about 'X'
- Good god please tell me how.
Fucking billionaire manchild wasting money on current trend, while looking cool using pop culture references.
- ~~looking cool using pop culture references~~ destroying the reputation of beloved pop culture by association.
  
  Fair point, forget to add, only he thinks he looks cool.
Step 1: take steps to make it safe and legal

Step 2: ignore part two of step one by hiding from the authorities that have no cause to come after you

Step 3: least specific shopping list since your mom sent you to the store for "a thingie"

Step 4: confirm that you forgot all about step 1

Postscript: contradict the reality where step 1 exists one last time.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Elon Musk has unveiled Grok, an artificial intelligence chatbot with a “rebellious streak” inspired by The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

The Tesla CEO, who warned last week that AI was “one of the biggest threats to humanity”, said the competitor to ChatGPT would be made available to premium subscribers on his X platform after testing.

Musk said Grok, which is in early testing and not available to the general public, would ultimately be released to subscribers to X’s top-tier subscription service, Premium+.

Grok is a verb coined by American science fiction writer Robert A Heinlein and according to the Collins dictionary means to “understand thoroughly and intuitively”.

Staff at xAI explained the chatbot’s debt to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the cult sci-fi comedy by British author Douglas Adams, in a blogpost on Saturday.

Musk then predicted on Thursday that AI – the term for computer systems that can perform tasks typically associated with intelligent beings – would replace all human jobs.
