Last decade it was "destroyed"

Where I'm from, "dragged" means to be removed against your will.
You know, like "the pitcher got dragged after the first inning".
It's a refreshing change of pace
I feel like dragged predates slammed as slang but it definitely wasn't popular headline material

Implying he gives a shit. The thing about people who lack any empathy is they're immune to embarrassment even when they're the most embarrassing human on the planet.

misinformation? just call it lies. reads easier and just as accurate.
Even more accurately: it's bullshit.
"Lie" implies that the person knows the truth and is deliberately saying something that conflicts with it. However the sort of people who spread misinfo doesn't really care about what's true or false, they only care about what further reinforces their claims or not.

The ultra powerful see us as NPCs, and nothing more.
Your anger is barely a pop up window on the game they're playing.
Yep, Muskrat is playing Frostpunk and completely ignores anything that doesn't make him money.
Edit: Actually, not a very good comparison. Because in Frostpunk, you are actively fighting for your survival. Elon probably doesn't even know what that means.

Chatbots can't "admit" things. They regurgitate text that just happens to be information a lot of the time.
That said, the irony is iron clad.
Fed up with people who anthropomorphize statistical software
Fancy predictive text
Well then they will have to train their Ai with incorrect informations... politically incorrect, scientifically incorrect, etc.... which renders the outputs useless.
Scientifically accurate and as close to the truth as possible never equals conservative talking points.... because they are scientifically wrong.

He lies to assert power. In his company yesmen say yes because he pays their checks. To the rest of us he generally looks like a loon.
It's obvious to a daft AI.
And we have to ask ourselves WHY he'd want to spread misinformation. What is he trying to do?

Come on guys, this was clearly the work of the Demtards hacking his AI and making it call him names. We all know his superior intellect will totally save the world and make it a better place, you just gotta let him go completely unchecked to do it.

This is an article about a tweet with a screenshot of an LLM prompt and response. This is rock fucking bottom content generation. Look I can do this too:
Headline: ChatGPT criticizes OpenAI
To add to this:
All LLMs absolutely have a sycophancy bias. It's what the model is built to do. Even wildly unhinged local ones tend to 'agree' or hedge, generally speaking, if they have any instruction tuning.
Base models can be better in this respect, as their only goal is ostensibly "complete this paragraph" like a naive improv actor, but even thats kinda diminished now because so much ChatGPT is leaking into training data. And users aren't exposed to base models unless they are local LLM nerds.

God, i love LLMs. (sarcasm)
They will say anything you tell them to and you can even lead them into saying shit without explicitly stating it.
They are not to be trusted.

Damn thats hard. And Melon Husk will soon be the new Chef of Nasa!
Actually they made a new department of "Government Oversight" for him...
Which sounds scummy, but it's basically ju8st a department that looks for places to cut the budget and reduce waste... not a bad idea, except it's Right Wingers running it so "Food" would be an example of frivolous spending and "Planes that don't fly" would be what they're looking to keep the cash flowing on
That sounds almost worse .__. At least with Musk behind the desk.
With Musk what he'd see as wasteful is... anything that isn't his fucking kickbacks or programs that make his ex-wife start returning his calls.
Which ex-wife exactly? There are just too many…

Elon Mush: too rich to care.
ok ok, Mostly too rich to care, he's pretty thin skinned.
Seriously though, when he was forced to complete the purchase of twitter, I thought he was just an idiot who couldn't run a company. Over the years, I've come to believe that he's an idiot who doesn't care about anything but staying rich and none of the really stupid stuff he's doing pushes the needle.
He's still an idiot, but if it doesn't break him, he just wants the attention and more opportunities to make more money.
