What's with his obession with the name "grok" though? Sounds like the sound frog made
It's from a book I love, Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. The word is the Martian term for fully understanding something.
That's really funny. He steals the name Tesla and Grok and when he tries to come up with his own names, we get "X" and "X Æ A-Xii"
All the tech fascists steal words. Palantir is from Lord of the Rings.
Which infuriates me as a LotR fan.
and also makes me side eye Chris Tolkien hard, cause he is normally very aggressive in protecting the intellectual property..
Palantirs were prominently used by Sauron to corrupt and manipulate weaker-willed users, so I have to admit it's a really apropos use of the name.
And Apple is a fruit smh
those are also names of his SONS, whom he doesnt really care about, just to name them, and he has a breeder fetish.
I believe it is from the book stranger in a strange land. Its meaning is like to deeeeply understand, I think.
Funny you say that. In Serbia, they say the noise a pig makes is "grok". My wife burst out laughing when she found out the name of Elon's AI.
Imagine some Saudi prince launches an AI called Oink, and then sets up Oinkepedia
Doesn't anyone remember groklaw? I feel like sometimes only I remember the early Internet anymore....
I fully expect the SCO case to be resurrected at some point in this timeline. Then they’ll know.
I always assumed Grok was chosen to hint as his technology background. For which "grok" is a popular term used for reading and understanding, with code in particular.
trying to be an edgy almost teenager.
grok = caveman?
