    I dunno if you're joking, but yeah there's IDE plugins that do this. GitHub Copilot grabs context from files in your edit history and you can tell it to edit, refactor, "fix" etc. selections. The more complex actions, the less likely to succeed, though.

    I assume this is Poe’s Law in action. Elon historically doesn’t understand shit about tech so the commenter is just highlighting something that’s been GA for other tools for years.

      I’d love to see Linus verbally bitchslap the fuckwit. Or physically, that’d be cool too.

          What do you mean "rest of the project"? Don't you put all of everything into a singular neatly contained file? It's way more optimized that way

          With the obscure language I use for work, I do tend to keep each system to a single file, even though includes and modules are supported.

          Granted, they are generally between 500 and 5000 lines, and are usually written from scratch.

          That being said, there is a 0 percent chance I'm going to be feeding anything I write into Grok.

              Wait, so if everyone at xAI does that, does that mean that Grok's own source code was the result of Grok's output?

              And then they once again feed that source into Grok?

              Dude is destroying his own product. Again.

                No, that makes them slower because theyre leaning into the wind. You want to try to mostly use A's, because they're the most aerodynamic, and anything else should be formatted as subscript to keep code size down and reduce drag. C should be avoided at all costs because it's just going to catch the wind.

                          bf was my first thought, but I would think that would be very easy to parse for computers, and hard for humans. So maybe something that's a lot more verbose?

                              Regardless of whether it is truly superior (it isn't, but neither is Cursor, if you think about it), it is actually more tedious to “cut and paste” the “source code file” and then paste back the output.

                              It is far simpler to just initiate a chat within Cursor, allowing it to identify all the files necessary for context alongside the one being viewed.

                                          I do work for an AI centric company and we've used almost every major model in some way, shape, or form.

                                          Grok was so bad on all fronts that we ceased using it completely.

                                          So I don't believe this for one second. I don't even find ChatGPT to be useful for code. I'd probably put Claude first and versions of Gemini second, with no current third.
