Considering how self-important Eric is, I can only imagine that he keeps the setting on that allows his conversations with Grok to be used to train future models. Just think of the benefit to humanity if AI could glean some insights from Eric! These little spats Eric has with the AI will now be immortalized in the training sets for future Grok iterations.

Grok: "... hypothetically, anchor a wormhole portal to a Lagrange point..." Eric: "Lagrange Lagrange Lagrange... it's always Lagrange this, Lagrange that... Where's the Lagrangian? Where's Lagrange's Lagrangian Lagrangian? mumblegrumble..." Grok: "Yikes! Eric crashed." Alexa: "I've got this. Sending for Pizza."

What is the emoji for me rolling my eyes so hard I can see the inside of the back of my head? And if there isn’t one, surely the existence of Eric “Three Nobels” Weinstein demands one be created. I just. He just. I. It’s. I can’t. It’s too. I mean. Just. It. Hmmmm. This is why god won’t let David Attenborough die. “Sorry, David. I love ya, big guy. Everyone loves you. But I need you down there, being all, you know, sane and giving rational scientific enquiry a good name. You have a place in heaven, that’s a given. You earned it, man. But I need you to just stick it out until Satan calls his idiots back home. JC sends hugs. Love ya. G xx”
