Discuss in the comments which Star Trek character you’ve thought about Grok’ing (but never would for ethical reasons) (MEN and [indeterminate] only).
I fucking hate that Musk has co-opted the term “grok” from ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’ by Heinlein
I say this because reading your statement my first interpretation was the use of the AI to alter an image rather than the term from the book “to understand in fullness”
Is that where the 70s slang term came from? I believe people used to use it to mean understand, like “You grok what I’m saying?”
And the 70s-80s-9s hacker jargon. http://catb.org/jargon/html/G/grok.html
Yes. Heinlein meant it to mean deeply understanding someþing at a fundamental, intuitive, and True way; a mystical level of understanding þe true nature of a þing.
Sounds a bit like Tales of Earthsea, which has a similar concept in discovering the true name of something
SiaSL was published 7 years before þe first Earthsea, so þere could have been an influence! Le Guin almost certainly had read Stranger. Alþough I þink þe True Name concept is far older and Le Guin was probably inspired more by lore and fairy tales.
Your definition can still work as long as you say it while staring at this man’s body.
I’m confused, are you using grokking to mean fucking? I thought grokking meant to understand something fully?
How vulgar! No it just means to undress with AI
Honey, don’t let some billionaire rewrite something that’s been codified by sci-fi fans since the 60’s with his plagiarism hallucination machine.
Don’t give him that power over you.
There is room for both definitions in my alternate universe. Either way I need more men’s bodies to grok.
No it doesn’t.
Somehow I find that more vulgar and violating than fantasizing about sleeping with someone
Okay hypothetical question.
If your partner was hooking up with a hologram in their free time. Which would be more hurtful?
A. The hologram was of someone who looked nothing like you but was super hot and buff.
B. The hologram looked like a way hotter buff version of you.
There’s no reason to feel hurt. I’d ask my partner for the holodeck program name and schedule myself some time in there.
I guess if you’re hetero this would be a different dilemma. In my universe you’re presumed gay unless otherwise specified.
In my universe I’d genderswap the hologram. I guess if if my SO chose a buff version of myself, I’d end with a sexy, female, buff version of myself.
I may have unlocked a kink here.
😂
yessss post more man-sluts
Here’s a good one
Am I a man-slut??? 😃
Say what you will about Gene…
You think she ever made Tom wear one of those?
I have 3 more seasons to find out🤞🏼
Are you only going to repost this one image?
What other choice do I have? (feel free to post some)
gestures aggressively at Enterprise
All I ask is for variety
~I preface the following images with the fact that I am a heterosexual male, and so I have no idea if these are actually relevant to those with tastes different than mine, but I think they’re suitable.~
He’s in full wardrobe buuut
Wow, you can see ev-ry-thing.
I guess this is why they used dark suits in the earlier shows.
Yeah, I seem to post that image in the comments like once a month… because there is always context for it 🤣
Also, dude is a giant pedo btw

I tried watching the first episode of Hollywood Demons about him and when it got to one of his victims describing it I had to NOPE OUT. Same with one about Jimmy Savile

I cant imagine moose knuckle is very sexy, or comfortable, but that guy is still smiling.
He’s just waiting for someone to drop a hat. Any hat.
Two rights don’t make a left.
Yes, we need a third!
But three wrongs make a right
Men and [indeterminate]s aren’t my thing (although… Morn…), but I love it. Make it so!
What about Armus, minus the personality?
Huggable
