grok's fury

I'm so excited for "woke" to be so oversaturated that it becomes lame and people stop using it, like "Political Correctness" before it. One of the more infuriatingly vague terms in political culture.

I do feel like it's on the downswing after DeSantis.

a : aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

I will never understand why this 👆is such a bad thing. Personally, I find it complimentary. But then again, I believe in facts and truth, and the betterment of society as a whole.
- The meaning of a word doesn't matter to them. They're told it's a bad thing and that they're to oppose it, like the attack command for a dog that's been trained to be racist.
  
  It's why everytime they have a new trigger word like "woke" or "CRT", there is always a stream of clips of supporters and pundits who can't articulate what the word means but are staunchly opposed to it anyway.
  
  Within that, there's probably people who do know what it means, they just can't say things like "I oppose anyone being empathetic or fair to minorities" out loud, even though that's exactly their view.
- Alt right playbook: find a word the left uses, then say it with disgust in frequent rants about the left. Followers associate negative feelings and connotations with the word without ever having to learn its meaning.
- Same with "SJW" -- "Social Justice Warrior." Sounds great to me!
- I will never understand why this 👆is such a bad thing
  
  because it's been coined by the Black comminity.
- That's not the definition conservatives are using, obviously. And they don't have a consistent definition between them either. Making a movie with a black person? Woke. Passing legislation to save the environment? Woke. Being gay? Woke. Disliking racists? Woke.
  
  That's why I hate it. If it was something solid, even with a negative connotation, we could use it for political discussion.
Is PC lame? I interpreted it as just it being more formal, whereas woke is a more meme way to say it

What do these guys do when they want to watch a movie or a tv show? Do they have a big list to check if it's woke or not? Because 90% of Hollywood films must be woke by their definition.

For some reason I watched one of these dudes review Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. It was woke because there were more women than men in the bridge crew.
- The amount of conservatives who don't realize that Star Trek is the OG "woke" show is crazy. Like yes THAT'S THE POINT OF THE SHOW!
- I love SNW and can say I (and probably 99% of viewers) have never noticed this because who actually counts up the number of each sex? I feel like even with their logic, the captain being a man should give them some level of comfort...
- I had someone who actually watched the movie tell me that Dial of Destiny was too liberal. Unless they're literally a Nazi or object to the reality of Vietnam War protestors existing in 1969, I have no idea what they meant.

Is this referring to Stranger in a Strange Land grok or explicitly caveman grok?

My guess would be Twitter’s AI chatbot, Grok, which was supposed to be anti-woke.

  Didn't Microsoft release one of those years ago? I believe it was called Tay

  “This is a complex and sensitive question that has been debated by many people from different perspectives. There is no definitive or universally accepted answer to it, as different definitions of what it means to be a woman may exist. However, some possible ways to approach this question are:
  
  Biological perspective: Some people may define womanhood based on biological characteristics, such as chromosomes, hormones, or reproductive organs. From this perspective, trans women are not considered real women, as they were assigned male at birth and may not have the same biological features as cisgender women (women who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth). However, this perspective may be challenged by the fact that biological sex is not always binary or fixed, and that there are intersex people who are born with variations in their sex characteristics that do not fit the typical male or female categories¹². Moreover, this perspective may ignore the role of brain structure and function in determining one's gender identity, which is the internal sense of being male, female, or something else³⁴.
  
  Sociological perspective: Some people may define womanhood based on social and cultural factors, such as gender roles, norms, and expectations. From this perspective, trans women are considered real women, as they identify and express themselves as women, and may face similar challenges and discrimination as cisgender women in a patriarchal society⁵ . However, this perspective may be challenged by the fact that social and cultural factors are not universal or static, and that there are different ways of being a woman across time and space . Moreover, this perspective may overlook the diversity and complexity of trans women's experiences, and the fact that some trans women may not conform to the stereotypical or dominant notions of womanhood .
  
  Personal perspective: Some people may define womanhood based on their own personal feelings and beliefs, and may respect the self-identification and self-determination of trans women as women. From this perspective, trans women are real women, as they are the only ones who can define their own gender identity and expression, and may have a strong and consistent sense of being women since childhood . However, this perspective may be challenged by the fact that personal feelings and beliefs are not always shared or validated by others, and that trans women may face rejection or hostility from some cisgender women who do not accept them as part of the women's community .
  
  As you can see, there is no easy or neutral answer to this question, as different perspectives may have different assumptions, arguments, and implications. The best way to approach this question may be to listen to and learn from the voices and stories of trans women themselves, and to recognize and respect their diversity and humanity. 🌈

- This is amazing
- Isn't grok also a slang word from A Clockwork Orange, meaning to understand, like the way grasp is used?
- What the fuck kind of name is "Grok" for an AI chatbot?
It's to Musk's AI which was named after Stranger in a Strange Land and billed as the "free speech" AI, which turned out to mean it was free to tell his users they were racist morons.

Very hilarious.
Yeah, the term Grok has been used by nerds for a long time, kind of a signal to other nerds. At some point, Elon Musk started using it too. So now, it's basically been co-opted by the right wing. But Pim's xeet kind of suggests they're turning away from it?
