Grok AI is now free for everyone. Via X - Twitter.

I don’t grok this at all.

I was entertained by it. Put in your wildest idea to draw for a Meme and see what it comes up with.

I asked Grok — What is free republic and who started it?

Free Republic is an online forum and conservative discussion platform where users, often referred to as “Freepers,” post and discuss news articles and related comments. It serves as a gathering place for individuals with conservative viewpoints, focusing on reversing what they perceive as unconstitutional government expansion and advocating for a return to the principles of a constitutionally limited republic. The site is moderated and funded through donations from its users via quarterly fundraising events called “Freepathons.”

The founder of Free Republic is James C. “Jim” Robinson, who launched the site in September 1996 with the aim of supporting the impeachment of then-President Bill Clinton. Robinson’s motivation stemmed from his dissatisfaction with the political landscape at the time, particularly after Clinton’s re-election. He wrote the forum software himself to facilitate this platform for conservative discourse.

Try Devil doing something with Mitch the turtle. I will have to try it once I can go back in and experiment.

This free Grok must be Elon Musk’s way of celebrating his new 400 billions net worth.
Investing 42 billion for free speech in America. What is the price of Free Speech in America? 42 billion dollars.
And celebrating Trump-47’s Presidency.

The phrase “I don’t grok this at all” comes from the science fiction novel “Stranger in a Strange Land” by Robert A. Heinlein, published in 1961.

Here’s a breakdown of the origin and meaning:
Origin:

“Grok” is a fictional Martian word invented by Heinlein for this novel.
In the book, it’s part of the Martian language spoken by the main character, Valentine Michael Smith, who was raised on Mars.
Meaning:

To “grok” means to understand something so thoroughly that it becomes a part of you.
It implies a deep, intuitive comprehension that goes beyond mere intellectual understanding.

Usage in popular culture:
After the novel’s publication, “grok” entered the English language.
It became particularly popular in counter-culture and computer programming circles.

Today, it’s often used in tech and geek culture to express deep understanding.

It’s not really good compared to Chat GPT o1 preview.
