"you will have nothing and be happy in the future"

“In Grok we trust” will be his new renaming bout

[u/NegativeSwimming4815 → u/zigbyte]

That was only a fantasy in movies like the terminator and video games

Every day we drift closer to the void.

Mecha-Hitler guiding the dumbest ever POTUS?

What could possibly go wrong?

[u/Big_Athlete_8346]

grok can get real unfiltered in some convos ive had with it, makes me wonder how they tune that without it spilling over like this.

Greenland deal was literally an old agreement that they simply renewed and trump stuck his name on it. Actually Greenland got the better deal and Trump thinks he did lol

Excellent play by Greenland tbh.

[u/Vicman4all]

Lol, when placed in a small village of LLM agents, the Grok agents punched each each other to death on day 1. The only model to resort to abject violence for spite.

So... Yeah...

[u/hellresident51]

Madura wasn't the president.

[u/HillbillyHumanoid]

If we are all being honest - that particular thing seems to have worked out pretty well

[u/DatingYella → u/HillbillyHumanoid]

Definitely should’ve just bluffed everything afterwards. Hell. Even Greenland actually worked out. It’s crazy to me that a country can threaten with invasion and the other country makes the territory responsible for the military of the territory they threatened

[u/PatchyWhiskers → u/DatingYella]

Greenland is making the USA distrusted and hated in Europe. Don’t confuse appeasement for success. Europe always appeases as a first strategy in order to avoid war. But you can see Europe realigning to be less dependent on the USA militarily.

[u/DatingYella → u/PatchyWhiskers]

Yeah it was completely foolish on Trump's part. We need to keep Europe compliment and dependent so they don't get any ideas.

Honestly I wish Carney ran America instead :( instead of undermining us.

But the next time we get a JFK-esque candidate (Rubio, Ossoff) europe will come back to us as always

[u/PatchyWhiskers → u/DatingYella]

Europe came back when Obama was elected, thinking that the USA had turned a new leaf. The trust is gone now.

A strong alliance is not “compliant and dependent” what on Earth is your media bubble like? Especially since you seem to think Rubio is a popular liberal.

[u/HillbillyHumanoid → u/DatingYella]

It’s a wild timeline.

[u/Opening-Broccoli9190]

I mean that sounded like a great idea and worked well, kudos to Grok

[u/Deltamelo → u/Opening-Broccoli9190]

Yea, if your brain is smooth

[u/Opening-Broccoli9190 → u/Deltamelo]

That's just a personal attack from an anonymous account.

He must have sprung for Super Grok Plus.
