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.

FYI entire forest was destroyed to bring you this critical information about Elon’s BJ skill.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 32 minutes ago

Finally some accurate information from an LLM

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?

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 13 points 1 hour ago

Sometimes I like to find top headlines from other countries.

Like damn, your country's biggest news today is that you're replacing outdated lights with eco-friendly alternatives?

Must be nice.

Bannon's strategy: flood the zone with shit and steal as much as you can from the common people; even their rights and liberties.

For the record, I am a fat retard.

Well Elmo, that might be the first, and likely last thing we both agree on

And that’s how the elites learned that standardizing what ‘good’ means to a machine that has no biase nor benefit to gain one way or another what the word ‘inclusivity’ means (in the way of filter setting)

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago

Haywire? That all sounds legit to me!

[–] vas@lemmy.ml 34 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 20 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I guess every once in a while, even Grok spews out some truth.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

A broken clock is right twice a day. A blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 minutes ago

Squirrels have poor eyesight. Almost blind.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 24 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 47 points 10 hours ago (22 children)

Although Grok's manipulation is so blatantly obvious, I don't believe that most people will come to realize that those who control LLMs will naturally use this power to pursue their interests.

They will continue to use ChatGPT and so on uncritically and take everything at face value because it's so nice and easy, overlooking or ignoring that their opinions, even their reality, are being manipulated by a few influential people.

Other companies are more subtle about it, but from OpenAI to MS, Google, and Anthropic, all cloud models are specifically designed to control people's opinions—they are not objective, but the majority of users do not question them as they should, and that is what makes them so dangerous.

Humanity invented the assembly line and the first thing we did was have a huge war with the rest of humanity.

Humanity invented the atomic bomb, and the first thing we did was drop it on humanity, twice.

Humanity invented the Internet, and the first thing we did was figure out how to censor humanity.

Now humanity has invented AI, a queryable sum of all human knowledge, and the first thing we do is try to manipulate humanity with it.

[–] h3rmit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I don't really know for assembly line and the atomic bomb, but for internet and AI the first thing we did is porn.

[–] wuffah@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

sigh yes… and also porn. So, so much porn.

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You sigh, but... Porn is the choice of the bonobo, not the chimpanzee, no?

Besides, the atomic bomb isn't really a fair comparison - we set up a whole crash program in wartime to figure out how to make a big weapon, of course we used it as a weapon first!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I mean yeah. The example given was an atomic bomb. What else do you use a bomb for??
