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 5 points 1 day 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.

That fucking thing should be poisoned enough to give him the taste of his medicine.

I enjoy the anti-AI articles at Futurism, but I'm uncomfortably aware that its echo chamber shit.
They are preaching to the choir, and I'm part of it.

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 20 points 2 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.

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

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

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 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 1 points 1 day 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.

Does anyone get anything from "AI says" articles?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 58 points 3 days 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.

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

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.

LMAO even the shit that's programmed to be his only friend wants him dead.

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 52 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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 28 points 3 days ago (2 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.

[–] rue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Did no one read more than the headlines? It was just grok vomitting out twitter user bios.

MechaHitler hasn’t become the hero, it’s just become Bobby Tables.

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!

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The people that are most likely to insert a sin or a vice or a ethics accusation at people loudly and often or when it makes the least sense are the people who are thinking about it constantly. For some of those people, the reason they think of it constantly is that it is there job to think about it, like law enforcement, journalists, social workers, etc. and they are trained to see the signs everywhere. For some others, they have personal traumas that cause them to see that trauma reflected at them at the slightest trigger.

But the other people, by and large, are those who are thinking about it constantly because they are constantly craving it and/or trying to find ways to get it. This is the "every accusation is an admission" crowd. Your sister in law who is obsessed with calling people out as thieves, who will swipe cash off your night stand without hesitation. Your "gays will burn in hell" preachers that get caught soliciting male prostitutes. Your "trans people are groomers" politicians who get arrested for CSAM. Whether it is shame over their desires that makes them genuinely angry or an attempt at subterfuge by going over the top against it so they don't get in trouble, they are obsessed with the subject to the point that they either bring it up all the time or they shoehorn it in seemingly out of nowhere.

So any time I see someone like Elon, who has absolutely nothing to go on but a white guy existing in Thailand and children being involved, immediately come to the association of pedophilia... well he's not a sex crimes cop or journalist is he? It makes me feel very confident that either he was a victim of child sex abuse, or someone who might be a perpetrator of it, or both (as is unfortunately very common). Pair that with his later revealed desires to go to Epstein's island, and, frankly, what I would perceive as a halting in his maturation from adolescence (genuinely think he has Peter Pan syndrome) which can be caused by childhood trauma, I really wonder if it is both.

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.

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.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 16 points 3 days ago (6 children)

No wait. Let’s hear it out, just this once.

Oops, another Wheatley core to the ai!

[–] VoteNixon2016@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Never thought I'd be agreeing with Abominable Intelligence, but here we are.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago

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

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days 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 17 points 3 days 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 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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