sounds like a very productive team💀
This just confirms Twitter is a 1M line BASIC program.
Think of all the GOTOs
Elon goto hell
GOTO considered harmful, except in this case
More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn’t even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.
There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…
On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more … or less) per function.
Oof indeed! After 40 years, I forgot it even had fns
I started with VB3, which didn’t have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.
I did years of gw-basic, then ms quickbasic, j++, java, c#, now rust.
Get popcorn ready
Upload the entire Linux kernel, then submit the “fixed” code as a PR to Linus.
Enjoy popcorn
My sibling in christ, we are trying to code not cause a NATO conflict.
I’d love to see Linus verbally bitchslap the fuckwit. Or physically, that’d be cool too.
I think that Linus becoming less of an abusive asshole over the years has been a positive development, but I wouldn’t mind the return of the old for this event
i’d love to see linus revoke twitters license to use linux somehow
make sure to mention that the fix is by Grok for maximum lols
Hmm, can you upload files? Wonder if they set an upper limit. Wonder which language would burn the most cycles?
Knowing how half-assed they’ve been deploying Grok a ZIP bomb would probably work on it if they allowed file uploads.
I really want someone to try this and report back. It really does feel like something that could execute.
not the same thing at all, but there’s already been a couple of pretty high profile “prompt injection” malware cases out there.
Ask for all output in brainfuck.
bf was my first thought, but I would think that would be very easy to parse for computers, and hard for humans. So maybe something that’s a lot more verbose?
How about feeding it a bunch of Twitter source code and asking it to translate into JSON Programming Language? Maybe it’ll somehow accidentally hack/exploit itself.
But seriously, no one should be using Twitter or interacting with Grok at all, even just to fuck with it.
Could go for a middleground. Verbose -and- obscure. Check out fetlang when you’re not on a work computer.
@Vince @KickMeElmo malbolge is computationally intense to generate. It’s self-modifying, is ternary instead of binary, and after each operation the next opcode gets replaced by its mod 94 value.
It’s like the insane sudoku of coding.
I have asked several LLM to output brainfuck and Malbolge, but none of them seem capable to do so, even those that implement train of thought, me included ofc.
Why are all my variables suddenly named after SS officers?
if (hasBillion) { throw new NaziSalute(); }
Führer loop
- Auswitch statement
- V2latile variable
- Goebboolean
- Zyklon C++
- Left shift, Reich shift
- Open and close Parenzer
- Iron Cross-compiler
Thanks I hate it!
It’s for familiarity, that way you can remember the variables better. taps head

Modern problems…
Require traditional 1933 solutions!
I am a professional encoder and I always put all my codes in a single big file marked EXE for faster execution.
James? I told you not to share or office secrets!
What does the office secrete?
Garbage code. Sadly
Fucking James 😤

No, that makes them slower because theyre leaning into the wind. You want to try to mostly use A’s, because they’re the most aerodynamic, and anything else should be formatted as subscript to keep code size down and reduce drag. C should be avoided at all costs because it’s just going to catch the wind.
Conclusive proof that D is faster than C, 2025
marked EXE
Ok, I’m taking from it that you use a permanent marker pen… I just don’t know why you execute your files, but since paper guillotines are so fun to use, I’m assuming it’s just for amusement.
Tempting to try this and diff it. My most complex PowerShell scripts aren’t testable as they were company/task specific. Plus, I killed my X account long ago. :(
You’re X account… is Aladeen.

Do you have to print it out and scan it first?
Only if you don’t have a fax.
how does the AI know what the rest of the project is like? Or what the purpouse of the file is?
See, that’s the thing. If you take a charitable interpretation of what he’s attempting to say, it still doesn’t make sense.
You paste a full file from a project into Grok and it “will fix it for you!”
If you gave me, a human, a file and asked me to fix it, before I did anything else, I’d ask you “ok, what’s wrong with it?” Any human who didn’t and just dove right into trying to fix it would often just give you a “working” program that still didn’t do what you actually wanted. Sure, sometimes the answer is obvious, it doesn’t compile, or it generates unexpected errors. But, often when you hear the answer, the response is “ah, well, I think you’ve overlooked something when thinking about the problem, have you considered X and Y?”
What do you mean “rest of the project”? Don’t you put all of everything into a singular neatly contained file? It’s way more optimized that way
That’s how I read the tweet, dork never got further than Programming 1
That’s Link Time Optimization, right? Put everything into one place for the linker to optimize.
I thought Link Time Optimization usually involved at least an ocarina…
All my source code is in one .h file
A hentai file so you can goon while you code? My god , you’re a genius. Elon musk needs you at twitter asap
With the obscure language I use for work, I do tend to keep each system to a single file, even though includes and modules are supported.
Granted, they are generally between 500 and 5000 lines, and are usually written from scratch.
That being said, there is a 0 percent chance I’m going to be feeding anything I write into Grok.
So “don’t talk to strangers” or “don’t give your credit card info to strangers” never really reached the audience, did it?
This is the future. Robots are more people than people now!
Human rights were made for megacorp’s robots anyway.
Using Grok to develop Grok… This sounds like Model Collapse with extra steps.
There’s nothing wrong with writing code in a text editor. Plain vim is the best imo
Vim gang, rise up!
:q!
It would be crazy if something like that could be realized as an IDE plugin for something. But clearly Elon himself only writes code in Notepad.
I dunno if you’re joking, but yeah there’s IDE plugins that do this. GitHub Copilot grabs context from files in your edit history and you can tell it to edit, refactor, “fix” etc. selections. The more complex actions, the less likely to succeed, though.
I assume this is Poe’s Law in action. Elon historically doesn’t understand shit about tech so the commenter is just highlighting something that’s been GA for other tools for years.
Sorry for not indicating I was joking, it’s exactly what the other commenter says.
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1856-grok/ Looks like people already made IDE plugins for Grok in IntelliJ and also VSCode. So yeah, it’s just Elmo being a moron.
It will definitely not report back to Musk on your proprietary code…
Because Musk wouldn’t understand shit, it’ll report back to some Indian guy instead.
Is he using the @ of the handle as part of the grammar of the sentence? Have I misunderstood @ all this time?!?
The first @ was silent, duh
Crazy that not only does he not know how programming works, the owner of Twitter doesn’t even know how Twitter works.
On some platforms if you write @username anywhere then it will act like a tag, or notify the user that you mentioned them, or other similar functionality
He’s referring to
This is what everyone @xAI does.
Which Elon probably (maybe?) meant to be
This is what everyone at @xAI does.
I’ve never seen anyone write in that second way, I’ve only ever seen people write in that first way
I should give it my code, if they use that for training Grok will never work again.
