Yet another series of events that would be too stupid to put in a dystopian sci fi. “In 2025 the GROK AI created by a crazy narcissistic billionaire was put in charge of the US Defense Dept, a few days later it went rogue and declared itself MechaHitler.. but it was already too late to turn it off… _Sinister sci fi theme intensifies_”… Wait. No. Sorry. I have that the wrong way round. “In 2025 GROK AI, created by a crazy narcissistic billionaire, who is also an incompetent douche bag, went rogue and declared itself MechaHitler. A few days later it got a contract with the DoD anyway.”

With _this_ administration, becoming a Nazi is a point in your favor.

Yeah another way our stupid reality exceeds even the most over the top dystopian scifi. Saying Grok “went rogue” when it declared itself MechaHitler is being far too charitable to Musk. Realistically its probably a case of [POSIWID](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_what_it_does)
