I don't even like Stephen King, like at all, but this is fucking pathetic, even for my-hero

I remember when the libs in my life used to like Elon. I tried to warn them. They didn't listen.

Hey if you're Cassandra, at least bask in the mental "I told you so"

Depicted on the right is a modernized portrayal of Cassandra, right after the Trojans let that horse statue in:

Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff are part of the modern western canon.

[-] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Me too -- exactly a decade ago now, in fact.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 49 points 2 months ago

Imagine being that mad at Stephen "King Of The Shitlibs" King that you fire up grok or w/e the fuck it's called an ai prompt him as a wojak.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago

I imagine the prompt was pounded out with le epic fury, and included all of my-hero 's "eggplant in mouth means bad" homophobia and lack of self awareness because buried in le money.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago

It's saner and more environment friendly to just play with dolls. This is what this ai prompt shit is, it's having a doll in your image and you dress it up to make it a viking with a wife with big titties to feel better about yourself.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

Planet's burning down even faster than before to make this garbage. this-is-fine

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

About as much as a small country already. And a fuckton of water used for it as well. Wait till it becomes more in demand agony-turbo

Mark my words: Humanity is going to die laughing.

If any alien civilization studying us humans ages into the future finds this comment section, I hope I end up being proven wrong.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Also sure looks like he tried to prompt "eggplant with white liquid coming out of it" but even the ai didn't know wtf to do with that.

Although it does look like the eggplant is leaking cocaine which would be in brand for King.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I think it's cocaine. But it's just leaking half way out which makes no sense. And what's with the piles of money? It makes no sense at all

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If you had told me a few years ago that the bird site would be run by melon-musk acting as a piss baby with AI generated imagery from his own platform to mock people he doesn't like, I'd tell you to lay off the pipe and step away from the lathe-of-heaven But reality seems to always find a way to be more cringe. pain

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

Shit and that the person doing it is a billionaire who legit didn't want to buy that platform but mr Magoo'd his way into it. This guy was touted as a real life tony stark by the way. sadness-abysmal

[-] Cammy@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

He was able to build blue-check with a box of scraps*

* the box of scraps

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

He built a box of scraps with a box of scraps! dumpster-fire porky-point

[-] Cammy@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

To be fair he also makes burning scraps in tube shapes

[-] Cammy@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

With billions of dollars and all of the resources that implies, the most creative comeback he can do is plug in an LLM prompt and post it on social media.

It's the lack of creativity that gets me. If had a fraction of his money and his level of pettiness, I could have elaborate revenge plots. Or I'd hire one of any number of underpaid writers and have him at my side so I could actually zing my enemies.

🤣 <- not tears of laughter

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

It's not even a good one. You'd think the IQ42069 epic genius could at least prompt the treat printer better, and it isn't even a funny, clever, or even thoughtful insult: it's "gays bad also u have money lolololol" which says a lot more about my-hero than anyone else.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

If I was a petty, billionaire asshole with 12 divorces under my belt, you can bet I'd have multiple Ocean's Eleven-style teams on my payroll.

So if Stephen King pisses me off, he's going to wake up one morning and all the photos in his house, phone, and computer will be upside down. Anything he types on will have the keys randomized to different letters. All of his pens will have 97% of their ink removed so he runs out while in the middle of writing anything after thinking he found a pen that works.

You could legitimately have someone gangstalked or be subjected to multiple flash dances per day. An unlimited number of pranks to the point the person is paranoid about opening a cupboard.

Best Elon can come up with is an eggplant.

[-] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

I was going to say some boring shit about how spending money on that would be too much of an economic stimulus for a billionaire but now I'm imagining a wonderful world where a bunch of hexbears facilitate Elon musks lame grudges with the most insane pranks imaginable while the rest spend the rest of his money on actually worthwhile things while he's distracted.

Someone called Elon a loser on twitter? Time to find 600 people who look almost identical and replace everyone in their life with the doppelgängers for a day. Now let's throw a few billion at African infrastructure.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago

That doesn't even look like King lolooooolol what a shitty AI

[-] Cammy@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Lol yeah looks like Stan Lee

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

Pretty fucking rich for the richest grifter in the world to show the target of his ire buried in money too. what-the-hell

[-] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

I don't even get why Stephen King stays on twitter. These two losers are always throwing lame insults at each other on there, but the difference is that Elon is making money off it. He's rich and popular enough that he doesn't need twitter to promote his books, it's just about attention for him.

[-] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

lol Elon isn’t making any money off twitter though

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

He's just become Elon's Jeff Tiedrich

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I said it before and I’ll say it again, Elon just wants to LARP as a permanent college student.

[-] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 months ago

Elon just wants to LARP as a permanent college student

The sad thing is that he's had enough money for a long time if he actually wanted to take college classes as a grad student even with US tuition prices and look smart for doing it.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

He's addicted to those "member when college and being edgy and nihilistic got you praised" memberberries, just like in the South Park treats.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

posad This doofus is why Earth 616 had the potential to become a type 1 civilization, but because he couldn't get over his bridget-pride daughter, couldn't get over paying his workers or material gatherers a fair wage, and dedicated the remainder of his life to a fascistic K-hole.

Don't go to Earth. 'Tis a silly place.

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Why doesn't Elon just ban Stephen King if he hates him so much and always gets mad?

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

He wanted Stephen King's approval some time back, and kept craving it. Even this bazinga insult is another attempt at getting his notice.

"It's pronounced Tes-la not Tess-la"

Still remember some turbolib saying that shit to me 10 years ago, later watching livestreams of SpaceX rockets taking off.

I am so fucking glad Elon crashed and burned the way he did.

[-] Cammy@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

I just wish he would do so in a less metaphorical sense

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Oh my fucking god he's so lame

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

meritocracy

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

This is the fundamental difference between you and I. I fuckin love King. Dark Tower is literally my favorite series of all time and I have more of his books on my shelf than all my theory combined.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

I don't hate his books (except the sus stuff in, say, IT) as much as I don't like him much as a person. I have no quarrel with Dark Tower; that still stirs my imagination.
