...our governing hierarchy is just a long list of who's blowing who, isn't it?

[–] Sonor@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

it's a snake blowing it's own tail

I'm convinced the Amish may have the right idea.

Ted Kaczynski wasn't as crazy as we all thought

I mean, aside from the whole bombing thing what did he do wrong?

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 61 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

later

Okay, okay... But besides the bombing, the sabotage, the vandalism, the harassment, and the animal cruelty, what did he really do wrong?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, have you seen his dwelling? It was a mess!

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Jordan Peterson would not approve...of the cleanliness of his living quarters.

(The rest of it he'd probably give a 👍)

Fully agree with the class struggle aspect here.

Weavers destroying industrial looms. How would that translate to today?

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Datacenters are the modern industrial looms if we're using that metaphor.

They're the machine that create profit for people who are unconcerned with the damage that they do to the population.

Or when tech is in the hands of a select few vile men, it is becoming a net negative. It definitely is not for the public good.

[–] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Incest, rape, and animal abuse while dodging taxes?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 17 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Software Engineer here: computers were a mistake.

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 37 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Computers are great, it’s capitalism that is the issue.

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

We as a country are not ready for that conversation, yet.

Discovering fire was a mistake. Making rocks think was a disaster.

“I’m a Grok guy,” said Vance. “I think it’s the best. It’s also the least woke!”

What a fucking idiot. Really wants everyone to go back to sleep

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 73 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

This headline makes it sound like someone has doubts about Musk's pee drinking skills. That seems a little judgemental. Pretty sure Grok knows his master well.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 47 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Pee drinking is somewhat impressive, but can he eat shit and die?

[–] natecox@programming.dev 17 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Of course he can’t, he’s too much of a loser to eat shit and die. He couldn’t manage it.

Eat shit? Maybe. But eat shit and die? No sir. No way. I won’t believe it unless I see it for myself.

[–] Robaque@feddit.it 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't Grok also claim he's fitter than LeBron and smarter than da Vinci? Perhaps being an olympic piss drinker has been the key to his success.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Yes, different article, also on Not The Onion.

Didn't read, but I suspect the LLM was prompted to reply in this way. Still funny, considering it is known that Musk tries to tweak it in his favor. (edit: this comment puts it better)

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Finally, it speaks the truth!

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 85 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Not haywire. It was specifically prompted to get that output.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 104 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

It was asked leading questions about embarrassing topics, but the over-the-top, fawning praise for Musk was baked into the responses without being specifically requested in the prompts.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 58 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I think this is the main story. I don't think it's new info, but it confirms the issue persists: this LLM is so heavily trained to fawn over Musk that it doesn't exercise any application of context or attempt to find truth.

Which is sad.

[–] khepri@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Grok is Harrison Bergeron and Musk is Diana Glampers

I can’t stop laughing at these, what a great day of shitposting

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 21 points 14 hours ago

Well now let's hear it out...

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 26 points 15 hours ago

We're gonna need to bring Bubba in to evaluate...

[–] db2@lemmy.world 27 points 15 hours ago

In this case I'm inclined to believe the dumb llm 100%.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Did Elon get punched in the eye before that photo?

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Grok likes to finish on his face and some went in his eyes

I call bs, he's mid at best at throating

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 14 hours ago

Did it really go haywire, or was it actually giving 100% accurate facts and they are just claiming it went haywire? 🤔

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 12 points 14 hours ago

I think they're programming the ketamine into the LLM at this point
