To add another layer to the irony:

Grok is a little niche lingo word from, at this point, older programmers and coders meaning to fully immerse yourself in some kind of new programming language or methodology/technique, and gain a comprehensive understanding of it.

So...

Musk functionally appropriated a term from a community he isnt a member of, as he definitely has not written any actual code in decades, and the only time he did (paypal/x.com) it was so garbage it had to be completely replaced by other coders later

the term fucking means to totally understand something, and his own ai, that he named after this term, is something he doesnt understand at all.
- Grok is a term from Stranger in Strange Land (Heinlein) , the reason coders and programmers started using is they're all nerds.
  
  You've fallen prey to one of the oldest laws of the internet, which states that the quickest way to get an answer to something is to post the wrong answer and wait for someone to correct you.
  
  It's called Murphy's Law.
  
  It's called Murphy's Law.
  
  My reddit brain is screaming right now.
  
  I've been making this joke for so long that I forgot what the actual law is called and no one will tell me 🥲
  
  I think it is Poe's law.
  
  EDIT: Fuck, nope, thats the law that says basically /someone/ will always believe the most ludicrous nonsense someone else posts as a joke.
  
  ... which at this point can describe the entire right wing gamer chud type of people, who all told us they were just joking about being Nazis until they literally turned into them.
  
  Either way my error here means my nerd card has been revoked and i will now be condemned to remedial research in the no horny jail for the rest of my life, specifically doomed to study the mating patterns of furries.
  
  Note: There are a surprising amount of Nazi furries. Someone send a sociologist or anthropologist.
  
  EDIT 2: The correct answer is Cunningham's law. Yes, I just remembered it. No, you cannot see my browsing history.
  
  We should stop naming laws after people and use descriptive names. Advice Seeking Wrong Answer Rule. Don't Engineer Wrong Way To Do Thing Rule.
  
  I forgot what the actual law is called
  
  You know the thing - always works in a pinch.
  
  I know, I am one of them lol.
