Elon Musk spent months crusading against Christopher Nolan’s “woke” adaptation of “The Odyssey” before it came out, anticipating that it would bomb at the box office. When that didn’t work and the movie made over a billion dollars, he vowed that his Grok AI — best known for calling itself “MechaHitler” and generating loads of CSAM — would create a full-length version of the ancient Greek saga that would be “historically accurate and true to the art of Homer” before the end of the year.
That hasn’t happened yet. But we have gotten a different sort of AI adaptation of “The Odyssey” — though not the kind, we suspect, that Musk had in mind.
Enter this abominable AI slop parody of vice president of the United States JD Vance, who stars as the Cyclops that Odysseus and his men get trapped in an island cave with. Vance is made to look like those weird babyface edits of him, except with one gigantic eyeball, as he performs hijinks like stuffing Odysseus’s men into a couch and chugging hot dog water.
That hissing noise you hear is the sizzling of your own eyeballs, amid a conspicuous absence of laughter.
