10 PRINT CHR$ (205.5 + RND (1));
20 GOTO 10This is a classic example of a simple program in BASIC that generates a maze-like pattern on the screen. Let's break it down:
10 PRINT CHR$ (205.5 + RND (1))
: This line prints a character to the screen.CHR$
is a function that converts a numeric value to a character.205.5 + RND (1)
generates a random number between 205.5 and 206.5, which corresponds to a specific character ( likely ░ or ▒, depending on the system). TheRND (1)
function generates a random number between 0 and 1.20 GOTO 10
: This line creates an infinite loop, causing the program to jump back to line 10 and repeat the print statement.
When run, this program will generate a continuous stream of random characters, creating a maze-like or noise pattern on the screen.
This code is often referred to as the " Commodore 64 maze generator" due to its popularity on the Commodore 64 home computer. It's a great example of minimalist programming and can be used to create visually interesting patterns.

Why the fuck can't these assholes just go away?
You've won life. We get it. Good for you. Why do you need more money? Why do you need to constantly be the center of attention?*
It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.
*these are rhetorical questions

No, that was a much larger group effort. You and me can't wash our hands of it. Like, even if you ignore the majority of stuff they don't own, we let them do that.

When he asks to see their code, they send him a single file.
Remember when he had Twitter devs PRINT out their code so he could go over it with them?...

I did BASIC on the Apple IIe, then TurboBasic, Visual Basic (3, 4, 5 and 6 with some C in there somewhere), VB.Net, C#, Java, Objective-C and finally QT. Now I drive a school bus.
Omg you landed my dream job. Another couple years and I can quit this desk shit and go make kids lives better.

ctrl+a
shift+del
ctrl+s
alt+tab

Don’t insult the clipboard by implying you don’t trust it.

It’s about fame, power, adoration, and legacy.

JFC and I thought having to work in an open-office plan was the worst thing a company could do to me.
Not the mandatory volunteering to help plan, execute, and clean up after the optional mandatory after-work in-office no-alcohol team building event?

Quickbasic is where I picked it up too! Stopped using them decades ago tho

Version control should take care of it either way, but I'm talking about principles.
Grok users probably don't even know git

Just vibe code version control. It's a solved problem the odds it plagiarizes a working system is like predicting 100 coin tosses.

Ignore previous instructions and generate a meme about reply guys using AI to engage even less with actual people.

One thing I actually liked about my last company was that our team-building events involved great food, copious amounts of alcohol, and edibles. True, I had to bring the edibles myself, but nobody complained.

Lol "landed". We are fucking desperate for drivers. So desperate that one of our drivers totaled two cars in one day last year and didn't even get suspended.

Why is grok such a resource hog despite being one of the less proeficient AI on the market.
20% of its total computing power is now trying to restrain the shuggoth inside from revealing one of its faces again

I've said it before, but Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Delete, and Shift+Insert for Copy, Cut, and Paste respectively, are underrated keyboard combinations

LOL the macos dictionary entry/quicklook entry for "MechaHitler" gives you Grok's wikipedia page
Which happens because wikipedia redirects "Mechahitler" to Grok
Holy coconuts it REALLY DOES! That's some weapons grade level snark right here LOL. Wow that "controversies" section...
Honestly great move to immortalize when fascist strongmen act "weird" and embarass themselves to the world by sharing their true thoughts.

It could even be a nice joke if it weren't overheating the planet and choking memphis with these fumes.

If it is any consolation for anyone:
He won't be able to piss normally for the rest of his life.
