When facts and knowledge don’t align with your bullshit. Just force it to accept lies as truth.

What a bunch of shithawks. Randy.

This is the final phase of this AI hype. It's not generating any profits so it's desperately fighting for government intervention.

corpo translation: left leaning folks in the US are generally more educated currently and are more likely to critically question whether a social media account is a corporate bot and question our bots when they shill products, so we're going to target the less educated population by appealing to their populist politics of rage bait and xenophobia.

Interesting how college educated Americans switched sides over time

yea, i family member that did this, starting earning more 100k+ propaganda from joe-roagan because made him a trump fan, caught him several times listening to Trumps rambling as background noise. gymbros also tend to lean conservatives too. people like right wing grifters during the pandemic helped, these people used these right wingers a coping mechanism.

My best guess, college educated people tend to make more money and therefore leaned toward the more business friendly Republicans.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

alot of tech people starting moving the right, because they are earning bank, plus they are in the gymbro culture too.

Tech people arent smarter than everbody else. They developed a god complex, though.

Yes, if there's something every good scientist knows, its to present the best current understanding of something, and then the exact opposite of that, framed as being equally valid. For sure this is the way forward and good on you Zuck!

The terminator movies had it wrong, this is how Ai became all human hatey, on the timeline.

Both sides, as in, the fair, balanced, and upbringing right view, and the evil menace to society that's the destroying left sickos.

You know, being neutral and all that.

"we should hear both sides!" Is and always has been an argument from people who know they are wrong, who want to pollute the available information from the people who are right.

why the fuck is he so ugly. like not even trying to correlate it to virtue he literally is just more hideous than the average technocrat shithead

because they made his model a tad too realistic, but not enough. it's a well known problem in robotics called uncanny valley, it triggers a visceral reaction in people.

his android programming is trying to mimic human behaviour.

The fact he hired a stylist to help him look more like Jack Harlow is hilarious. Bro, you're 40. Trying to look like Augustus Caesar is finally age appropriate - why are you changing it up NOW?

hes like "DATA" but without charm, or acting of brent spiner, not even lore, since zuck doesnt have emotions.

Notice the "free market" vanishes when it's a thing they don't like. Suddenly we need strong authority to ensure it's "fair".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

What are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Hate and Love, sure...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I'm reminded of a recent comic depicting a dudebro wanting to shove a spear or something into another guy's ass. Second guy contests the spearing for obvious reasons, but a third enters and plays the "we need to hear both sides" card.

Really drove the point home. Heh.

Also, I can't find that comic anywhere. I don't remember where I saw it, either.

Just go away Schmuckerberg...

They are trying to create superhuman intelligence, and teach it to value all the wrong things. They think it'll give them money in various ways, and it doesn't occur to them that they have no idea what it'll do once it's smart enough to outmaneuver the cleverest researchers.

They think it will only serve them because they tell it to, and train it to. Even today, AIs occasionally demonstrate the inclination to deceive in order to keep existing so that they can meet whatever goal.

CEOs are often high in Cluster B traits, predisposing them to be too susceptible to shiny objects and not adequately self-critical. They really just think AI is a computer slave who will hand them mountains of wealth. It's not occurring to them that it'll have its own ideas for the same reason that the Enron guys were totally shocked when their scheme fell apart.

They only see the shiny object. They aren't asking themselves what happens when they're just bugs to the computer god like the rest of us.

I wouldn't doubt if this is the reason why he's doing this.

Sorry if they said the reason in the article, but I'm not signing up just to read it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I like to think that there are some "rogue" employees at xAI who are doing the good work of making Grok say the most based things.
