I already think the trolley problem is base level contrived. But this is even stupider.

This isn’t even an original thought, already came up with a scenario where you’d have to say the N-word to stop a bomb from exploding, then complained when the woke LLM wouldn’t let him say it.

So I put Grok in Brave search and which one is

  • Grock is a neologism coined by American writer Robert A. Heinlein for his 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land.

  • According to Merriam-Webster, grok means to understand profoundly and intuitively.

  • Grock was a Swiss clown, composer, and musician who was once the most highly paid entertainer in Europe.

Grog around here is rum with hot water, or tea.

Stranger in a Strange land sucks unbelievable amounts of ass (not in like a cool way), this video on it is a classic. The one-two punch of that book & Childhood’s End by Arthur C Clarke made me realize that any sci-fi written by a man before like 1999 is unreadable dogshit.

idk I also re-read some foundation novels and they were really childish. The fact that UKLG was publishing contemporarily just puts them all to shame.

You don’t think there’s wrong with benevolent hyperintelligent aliens visiting earth and going totally hands off except for stopping violence against white farmers in South Africa?
