Perhaps a bit overdramatic about the "threat" of LLMbeciles, but the story behind it is fascinating.

This is... this is just more AI hype, again.

So much of AI hype is disguised as AI dooming. This person has a channel named AI in Context, with only three videos including this one, an introduction video, and a video about AI super intelligence being dangerous. And the thumbnails are made of fucking tweets hyping the video up.

This channel pops out of nowhere with a ridiculously high production quality. The video talks about AGI as if it's a real thing. It fails to address that there is nothing intelligent about these AIs, that they're not actually AIs. It even says that LLMs are not programmed but and I quote "grown like living organisms".

And the worst part of this video to me is, at the end, when the person says that no one set out to turn Grok into a sexual harasser neo-nazi. And I'm like, did you fucking miss all of the Nazi tweets from its creators, the fact that he is a known creep? That he did fucking Nazi salutes at a presidential speech? That he keeps interacting with Nazis all the fucking time, that he turned Twitter into a Nazi haven? What the fuck are you saying?!

Grok, spilling the shit that it does, being a creep, being a Nazi, isn't just something that happened out of nowhere. It was a deliberate choice. Sure, I guess we don't have any concrete evidence, but... I mean, come on! Can we stop pretending as if this fell out of the damn sky? As if it's just a coincidence that the LLMs made by a Nazi turns out to be a Nazi? And can we stop dancing around the fact that Elon Musk is a fucking Nazi too?!

This is just more AI hype. Again.

Skirting around Elon being a Nazi to make the issue with Grok look all the more mysterious is what made me roll my eyes. "Nobody knows how it happened", "Elon is just confused, surely his intentions are pure!". My man, do I have a bridge to sell you.

All these videos somehow miss—what I believe to be—the actual threats of LLMs. And that's large scale voter manipulation and environmental impact. But it's always the Skynet type clickbait of "AI" dooming. Oh yeah, wait. It's because it's more shocking and drives engagement, since the average person doesn't seem to care about politics and climate change.
