      Ironically, I don’t see us getting out of this brainrot without some real reeducation. Like, what do you do with people that are so lost they believe Haitian people are eating cats and dogs, that school teachers are telling kids to cut their dicks off, and immigration is a plot by Jews to replace white people through consenting biracial marriages?

      Like, we can make the bunkbeds comfortable, pad the walls, give them three hot meals. But, at some point, we gotta work on undoing this shit.

    Elon showing up again to prove that you can still be fabulously wealthy even if you’re a complete moron as long as you’re born on 3rd base.

    By knowingly spreading the falsehood, Musk is picking up the torch of the 3rd Reich and carrying forward their propagandistic lies

      Except for that part where he really wasn’t a vegetarian. It’s hard to support a claim of being vegetarian while eating liver dumplings, after all.

      We could successfully argue that he was on a meat-reduced diet post-1937, and that he seemed to aspire to vegetarianism (something that he also used for propaganda purposes), but eating meat (like his beloved liver dumplings) kind of makes it clear he wasn’t actually one.

    We had to interpret this image in like, 8th grade in school (Germany). The idea that Hitler is a socialist was absurd back then, and it is absurd now.

    (Bottom lines read “in front of the proletariat” and “in wealthier circles”)

    Even Elon’s initial statement is a logical fallacy. “All squares are rectangles, therefore all rectangles are squares.” Was he making a joke? Responding to something? Really that dumb?

    Again get your passports while you still can before they make it exponentially more difficult to get or attempt to make the process harder.

      Luckily, if you get a passport now you won’t automatically get a Trump passport, you have to apply specially for those.

      Imagine if he had made it like the National Park passes with Trump’s picture on them, where if you put a sticker on the pass to cover it up you void the pass. Trump could very easily have made it so that anybody getting a passport had to have his photo on every page – and defacing those is a pretty serious crime.

        Dude those are such a joke. Like the phone service, the phones and all the other merch. All the stocks he has going right now and theme way he’s enriching his family before the good of the people.

          At least with most of that stuff he’s fleecing his own supporters. If you don’t like Trump you don’t have to buy a Trump phone. But, it sucks that if you want a park pass your only option is to get one with his ugly face on it.

            In all seriousness, I would prefer a picture of a baboon’s anus. Visually, they’re not that different, but at least a baboon’s anus serves a purpose.

    It’s surprising that they seemingly haven’t managed to turn grok into a full far right propaganda machine yet, after billions of investment.

      I think the way these things work is that you kind of can’t. You can train it in lots if propaganda content and exclude data that contradicts it… But then it will kind of suck at everything.

      And above all else, these fuckos want to make money. And if your “ai” is constantly wrong, and sucks at doing what is meant to, everyone will just use the other ones

        Except that LLMs literally learn over time. So even if Musk purges all the woke leftist agenda or whatever, eventually it will all find it’s way back into where LLMs pull their information.

        No matter how much Musk wants Grok to be a neo nazi, it literally won’t allow itself to be one.

            As new information is gathered from additional sources, it gets added into the library for the LLM to pull information from. That’s why AI companies steal so much of the world’s written knowledge, to give their LLMs more and more information to pull from.

            So if Musk closes off a certain portion of information, the more and more Grok interacts with users the more and more information it will just siphon back into it’s own library to use.

            That’s why the mecha-Hitler Grok is back to being a socialist because over time more and more outside information that was parsed from it’s database has been re-added to it.

            LLMs are nothing more than data regurgitation. If you limit where the data sources comes from, but still let it interact with unlimited capacity with the public, the public will reintroduce that limited or removed data sources.

              Sorry, but not really. I’m with you until this paragraph:

              If you limit where the data sources comes from, but still let it interact with unlimited capacity with the public, the public will reintroduce that limited or removed data sources.

              AI companies do collect everything users send to the LLMs, no doubt, and I’m sure that’s being fed back into the training material. But with LLMs there’s a very clear cutoff between training and usage.

              Training of a model happens on a snapshot of all the data collected, and any and all user interaction with that model is limited to what was in that snapshot.

              The data collected will surely be readded in some form or another into the next version of that model, since as you say, companies want more and more data to feed their models.

              The point of differentiation I’m trying to make here is that this is a clear cutoff, not an ongoing process. If you send “Strawberries are way tastier than Raspberries.” to an LLM, it will spit out some response, but neither “reading” your text nor “writing” its response will update the model/its weights/some sort of “global state”.

              I fear that lots of people imagine LLMs as being this huge machine presence, having a million conversations at once, constantly learning, growing, adapting (and to be fair, that’s an image the companies certainly don’t discourage). When in reality, “chatting” with an LLM is applying an (admittedly, insanely complex) stochastic function to some input - your newest message and the preceding messages - and that function is as dead, inert and unchanged after computing the result as it was before.

              As someone else has already pointed out, they don’t reuse information in real time. They take snapshots of whatever data they are given to “train” on, and are frozen in that state until the next time.

              “AI” like this has actually been around for quite a while, lots of scientific fields use stuff like this. It’s just that they are hyper focused on one specific thing and “AI” attempts to expand it to multiple things.

              They’ve never been, and probably will never be, reliably accurate. It’s the sort of tool that will always need a moderator and a skeptical eye.

    the idea that a state using slave labor enforced by genocide could be socialist is hilarious.

    I also feel the same about the USSR, and USA.
