"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I suppose that's another reason why Trump likes Musk so much. Musk can fine tune the anime waifu Trump loves, while it tells him how cool he would be if he bombed Iran.

You know this makes sense somewhat. The LLM was going to find a solution no matter how stupid it may be or what the moral and legal consequences any be. It risked the stability of the region. It also has some complex legal Questions where America can just lift your political leaders. It's also explanes why there was no backup plan or question about the aftermath. This case it looks to have worked out but the LLM can't predict the future.

The Reagan administration used to consult an astrologer. This is just the modern version of that.

The headline makes it seem like he exclusively asked Grok about Venezuela. The article makes it clear he asked all sorts of things, things a narcissist would ask.

Personally, I think it's mad the president consults what I'm renaming "American Intelligence" before acting on the world stage. But we should look at the positive here that 47 did consult with anything before doing something rash. Given the situation with Iran, which he has declared resolved some 30-odd times since he started it and yet it carries on, I was under the impression he was just rolling a die at the ~~White~~ Gold House.

Makes sense. An AI chatbot is perfect for a narcissist. You can behave like a complete POS and it will still be happy to see you, unlike the real people Trump has in his life who suddenly remember that they're late for their root canal appointment. Probably why Trump was pushing for "super intelligence" and "superior intelligence" a bit ago, "Only AI knows how great I am!".

I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that Trump is still asking AI for advice, even now.

Not to give him any ideas but Musk could gift him a magic mirror with Grok in it
