Elon Musk's AI assistant Grok boasted that the billionaire had the "potential to drink piss better than any human in history," among other absurd claims.

    And with headlines like this, why the fuck do I care about any of the news coming out? This is so fucking ridiculous and stupid. Like come on. What the fuck are we doing in 2025?

    Why should we care about an AI tailored to that one person whom many consider a fascist?

    Negative publicity is also publicity. Please let’s rather ignore this stupidity.

      From the original 404 article:

      And yet, this is of course an extreme example of the broader political project of AI chatbots and LLMs: They are top-down systems controlled by the richest people and richest companies on Earth, and their outputs can be changed to push the preferred narratives aligned with the interests of those people and companies. This is the same underlying AI that powers Grokipedia, which is the antithesis of Wikipedia and yet is being pitched by its creator as being somehow less biased than the collective, well-meaning efforts of human volunteers across the world.

      You may already know this, but a lot of everyday people don’t. They still think that a computer can’t have bias, and if all these tech bros and business leaders are talking about AI then maybe it does make sense to replace our society with an impartial machine. This article is for them.

    How many resources were destroyed getting Grok to say Elon drinks piss? We all already know he drinks piss. We don’t need to waste precious resources on getting a robot to say it.

      Probably not that much honestly.

      The resource intensive part is the initial training.

      Tuning later is much less so.

          Is that really true, or am I experiencing a swoosh? I am lifelong skwrl watcher, and they do amazing acrobatic stuff that would require great eyesight, and depth perception, like leaping from branch to branch, etc.

          I used to have a cat that loved to chase the skwrls, and they loved to be chased. You could see them peaking over their shoulder as she snuck up on them, and the instant she’d pounce, they’d be gone like lightning. It was obvious they could see really well.

            A quick search shows that squirrels have quite good vision at short to medium distances (up to ~10m) during daylight, with a wide field of view (common in prey animals) and excellent depth perception. Their colour vision isn’t up to human standards, however, and their night vision isn’t that great. So yeah, they’d have a clear concept of the distance and direction to the next tree branch or a nearby cat as long as the light was good.

    How do you know the claims are false? Maybe the AI knows more than we do.

    I’ve got a question not related to the topic of the post: why is this site so often posted, when it has an ad blocker banner that you can’t just click a button to dismiss?

    Why is this site considered acceptable? Do they generally do good work, and so people agree that disabling adblockers are worth it?

    I’m just so used to sites that do that being shit upon and posters linking them told to go fuck themselves and smarten up

    Musk responded in a statement saying, “Earlier today, Grok was unfortunately manipulated by adversarial prompting into saying absurdly positive things about me. For the record, I am a fat retard.”

    Damn, a self-conscious retard

      I’ll never put foot on that hellhole again, but it would be funny if this was something he posted on twitter and grok showed up to “correct” him.

        Sorry Mr. Musk, I need to tell you: You are not fat but healthily athletic. Your strength only compares to the strongest man on the planet: Donald J Trump!
