In the days after the US Department of Justice (DOJ) published 3.5 million pages of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, multiple users on X have asked Grok to “unblur” or remove the black boxes covering the faces of children and women in images that were meant to protect their privacy.

It’s the same energy as “don’t hallucinate and just say if you don’t know the answer”

Though it is 2026. Who's to say Elon didn't feed the unredacted files into grok while out of his face on ket 🙃

It feels like being back on the playground

"nuh uh, my laser is 1000% more powerful"

"oh yea, mine is ~~googleplex~~ googolplex percent more powerful"

Wait, what? My son has been using "googleplex" when he wants a really big number. I thought it was a weird word he made up. I guess it's a thing....

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

It is, with a slight different spelling. A googol is 10^100, a googolplex is a 10^(googol) or written conventionally, a one followed by a metric shit ton of zeros.

I wondered if the word had something to do with a googol (I learned that word from World Book Encyclopedia kids books), but I figured my young son didn't know that word yet and just invented some word using Google. Crazy how language can get around on the playground.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 1 points 6 hours ago

Fun fact, Google was supposed to be named Googol, but the guy who were tasked with ordering the domain name misunderstood. As history would tell, they just decided to stick with Google.
