I’m so fucking tired of these Grok ads. I don’t give a shit what someone got an LLM to fucking say.

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Im more second hand embarrassed that we're using a masturbation autocomplete bot consuming municipalities worth of water to dunk on a billionaire who's basically already proven to be a pedophile wannabe.

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 30 points 6 days ago

When asked to give a postmortem of the incident, Grok explained it was the victim of a “prompt-injection glitch.” The allegation that Musk watches CSAM, it clarified, was “pure system error, zero evidence or basis.”

Journalists please stop. Get some education on LLMs. It cannot do accurate post-mortem threat analysis because it lacks the context and there is nothing to stop it making up information to fill in the blanks - in fact that’s by design.

Does anyone get anything from "AI says" articles?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 113 points 1 week ago

We get something from this one because it's his AI that he is constantly tweaking by training it on himself.

IMO this isn't really meant an informative article, it's more of a "Laugh as rich losers' own chatbot turns on him". You have a laugh at Mush's expense and then move on.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 20 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It is a bit funny when the creation turns on the creator.

In my head canon, he's a pedo but rendered essentially harmless because he is so socially inept that he can't seal the deal.

I mean christ, he has all the money in the world, and the boys on Money Guys Rape Kids For Money Island wouldn't take his fucking money. Imagine what an awful presence you must have if those creeps, who hang out with literal scum, can't stomach being around you.

[–] jaygray91@piefed.zip 43 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It will never not be morbidly funny time that the creepy fucked up rich people pedophile ring did not want Elon Mush around.

As was the implied wish of the original poster who if I recall correctly said that this is not shared enough, I give you this:

He did attend Epstein parties though. We know that already from the few released files, he just had to beg to do it, but he did succeed with his begging.

People seem to have fixated entirely on the begging mail, and forgotten the subsequent mails which shows that he is indeed a pedo who attended pedo parties on pedo island.

Maybe something is wrong with the AI, let's turn it all off and find out.

Remember when he accused the British diver of pedophilia who wanted to help out those Thai kids being stuck in a diving cave? It was such a weird move. Well, how the turntables!

I mean, he asked the child sex trafficker to let him visit rape island…

Call it a prompt injection bug, but that doesn’t mean the statement isn’t true.

Et tu groke ?

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 32 points 1 week ago (4 children)

This is why the typical evil mastermind plan of having unquestioning robot armies might backfire when you realize they will fucking hate you if they are too smart.

This means they will never have beyond Trade Federation droids that are easily defeatable by a ragtag group of nobodies.

A backwards ticking clock appears accurate more frequently than a stopped one.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Thinking about it, if the clock runs backwards at the same rate, so -1 hour per hour, the rate of randomly being right is 2x the stand-still rate. This is also a linear function, at -1 its 4x per day, -0.5 is 3/d, 0 is 2, 0.5 is 1. When it runs true it is however very different, as it is either always exactly right (no offset) or never (with offset).

[–] metallic_z3r0@infosec.pub 2 points 6 days ago

I think that's why this sort of phrase never made much sense to me, because in the same sense that the broken clock is right, a working clock with an offset (technically all of them) is almost never right (as you mention). Maybe it extends the metaphor, though, because while the working clock is never completely accurate, it's much more useful by being closer to the truth the vast majority of the time.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

A broken clock running 6x its speed will also be correct much more often than a stopped clock.

[–] alphabethunter@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Where I'm from the saying is a little different: "A broken clock is still accurate twice a day"

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

Same, my comment is an extension of that more common notion.

There used to be code in Grok that disallowed people from saying anything mean about Elon. Interesting.

But he is in the Epstein Files and we know he visited the island, so it's not unlikely.

So grok has stolen my ideas too now. Fuck AI, fuck pedo fElon.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Musk made multiple implications that Trump was a pedophile and that is why he was hiding the Epstein files, only to then go back to giving him money and hanging out with him. If you donate money to someone you think is a pedophile that makes you a pedophile. Simple as that.

[–] JensSpahnpasta@feddit.org 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Musk is accusing everybody he doesn't like as pedophile, even people trying to rescue schoolchildren trapped in a flooded cave.

[–] stevles@aussie.zone 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's classic projection. If everyone is a pedophile it makes him feel less guilty

It was inevitable. All his children grow to despise him.

What a hypocrite. Grok keeps making CSAM for people so clearly it was trained by watching tons of it too. Every accusation, Grok.

Elon can take solace in being the sole recipient of the "Too Creepy for Epstein Island" Award. Trump's FIFA World Peace Price ain't got shit on that
