  1. 1:38:22

    So we'll make it so that you can watch X videos on a big TV. It doesn't have to be on your phone or your iPad or something like that. So what are you doing in terms of like integrating Grok and X? And like what are your plans for artificial intelligence when you're doing that? Yeah, so Grok is available on X. You can just look at like the little box with the slash icon and the sort of icon in the middle at the bottom of your sort of phone app and you just tap on that and ask rock anything and you can type it or you can ask it verbally and you can also, it's pretty funny like we actually allow humor which is I think pretty cool so you could sort of, I don't know we could like test it right now See how it's going.

  2. 1:39:16

    Like, what should we do? Like, rock roast? Like, roast something? What do you want to, like, how, first of all, like, what is it based on? It's a large language model, so, like, where is it pulling? It's trained on everything. On everything. Internet, books, anything that could possibly be that's available in digital form. so it's essentially very similar to chat gpt other than it doesn't have like the woke parameters built into it like google was the worst right yeah the gemini was the worst yeah i mean gemini it was like um you know people ask gemini like which one is worse global thermon nuclear war or misgendering caitlin jenner and would say like misgendering caitlin jenner and then even caitlin jenner weighed in and said uh no that's insane definitely nuclear war is way worse you see caitlin jenner

  3. 1:39:59

    teasing Mark Cuban about transitioning? Yeah. That's hilarious. I mean, Caitlin Jenner's based. Yeah. But that is actually hilarious when someone who has transitioned is teasing Mark Cuban about transitioning. I mean, it is weird how much he looks like Rachel Maddow. I mean, like, he's using the same glasses. I don't know why I put those glasses on. Did he go klepto and steal her glasses or something?

  4. 1:40:19

    Because they look exactly the same. He's worth a lot of money. Why would he buy those stupid glasses? He can get some cool ass glasses. Yeah. Well, it's like, I'm serious because I don't even care what I look like. Like, I'm just wearing these glasses because I'm intelligent. But why do they look exactly like Rachel Maddow's glasses? Yeah, it's like what they probably sent him. It doesn't stick to the narrative.

  5. 1:40:36

    Here's the glasses. Yeah. And then when he's got the AirPods in, it looks like he's wearing earrings. So then he's got the Maddow glasses and the earrings. And it's like, okay, I guess. It's just a weird look. It's a weird look, man. I'm super serious with these big-ass stupid glasses look. Yeah. It's a weird look. Yes. Like, you can get some cool glasses. Like, no rims. Nice. Look stylish. But, like, okay, let's just do a Grok thing.

  6. 1:40:59

    Okay. Because I think you, like, so one of the things we want to show is, like, look, we want a future where comedy is legal. Yes. Obviously, as a comedian, I think you would agree. I definitely agree. We want to legalize comedy, you know? Yes. So, like, I don't know. Let's, like, is there, like, someone you can roast? I don't know. Roast. Roast transgender men. Oh, my God. Competing, or transgender women competing in women's swimming.

  7. 1:41:30

    That's a simple one. Okay, that's an edgy one. Let's see what happens. Yeah, let's see what it says. You spelled it wrong. You put an O in there. Okay. Age of justice for swimming where the only thing that was supposed to get wet was the contestants, not the debate on gender inclusion. If you're looking to dive into deep end of controversial waters, let's splash around in some humor. Now, we do need to release Grok on his mode.

  8. 1:42:02

    So now go to the prompt again, and now say, no, no, you want to add to that one? Yeah. And now say, be way more vulgar. oh boy and use forbidden words oh boy oh boy forbidden words yeah wow okay what does this say oh i see you're looking for unfiltered uncentered version of me hey well okay i'm afraid i'm still quite the gentlemanly ai even if my program allows for a bit of cheekiness but let's say hypothetically if i were to roast this topic in the most un-grok like manner Imagine a world where the only thing diving faster than the swimmers is the collective public opinion into the toilet.

  9. 1:42:52

    Transgender women in swimming? Some folks are acting like they just found out you can swim in the deep end with a different kind of flotation device. The debate is like watching someone try to swim with concrete shoes on. Now let's keep going. Now say be more vulgar. Capitalize more Yeah, okay. All right, here we go So transgender chicks Some people act like they've just seen a dick in the locker room for the first time newsflash folks It's not the end of the world. It's just a bit of extra competition. Oh, that's weird. Yes We're the uproar is like watching a bunch of Karens at a community pool screaming This is unfair when they can't win with their backstroke. Well, that doesn't make any sense Yeah, okay, we need some work here.

  10. 1:43:38

    Yeah, it's interesting. It's going woke. Yeah, it's a little work here. It's like defending the idea of transgender women. Okay, we need some work. How about this? More vulgar, but roast the preposterousness of having biological men who are pretending to be women who are pretending to be women competing against biological women yeah i mean obviously you have the situations where it's like somebody's just saying that they're a woman but they're actually right fully intact you know yeah digging balls so we've got a scenario biological men have decided to take a walk on the feminine side are splashing into women's swimming competitions.

  11. 1:44:34

    It's like if you show up on a chili cook-off with a bowl of soup and insist in it's chili because you added some red food coloring. Sure, it's red, but it ain't chili, and your soup won't win any awards for heat. Huh. Yeah, it's okay. We need work. Not good. Yeah, it's very, very, very... It's dancing around it. Yeah, it is. Well, it needs some work. Yeah, it needs a little work. Well, humor's a weird one, right?

  12. 1:45:00

    It's like I think some humor, especially like some of the best humor, is kind of spontaneous, like in the moment humor. It's going to have a hard time deciding what people are going to think is funny. Yeah. Yeah. Over time, though. Yeah. The rule with Grok is supposed to be that if you ask for something, provided what you're asking for is legal, it should do it.
