So don't ever use Grok. Got it.

Have you ever been tempted to? It was marketed as "the anti-woke AI" from day one, which is just another way of saying that the target audience is bigots and other flavors of dipshits. It's not like these latest developments are a surprise to anyone who's paid attention. Making it Nazi was the spoken goal from day 1.

It's annoying that he's basically ruined the word "grock'.

I was playing a bit of shadows of Mordor and the palantir was mentioned. Felt real weird.

Never have, never will.

Well, now I know where to go if I ever want the opinion of a racist asshole billionaire. That’ll probably never happen, but I’ll make a mental note.

We seem to be constantly hearing their opinions whether we want to or not anyway.

It’s not an AI anymore, just a search engine. And a crappy one.

That's all they were to begin with. A search engine that was able to do some degree of sorting and presenting the information it found.

Don't forget falsifying. If the information was trustworthy it'd actually be a useful tool.

What a piece of garbage.

They seem to have redefined "mogul" to mean "ketamine addled idiot".

SheeEttin@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Is that not what it's always meant?

Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Nah, it used to mean coke-addled idiot.

It's not really an upgrade, is it?

redlegion@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 1y

It's like having a portable "yes" man! Every CEO's dream! 🙄

What will happen when you ask for something where musk has contradicted himself?

someguy3@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y

We have always been at war the East Asia.

FelixCress@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y

Grok will explain how the contradiction is not a contradiction.

Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.

Ask a theologian.

AI will be amazing for manufacturing consent: whatever narrative you need to push/counter on this particular day, just add a sentence into the instruction and it'll propagate everywhere, from generated to suggested content.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — for ever.

He thinks Grok is how he's going to live forever.

Has anyone done the math on what costs the most energywise for an ai to answer?

Just brainstorming 😅
