Grok Reveals Elon Musk Has ‘Tried Tweaking My Responses’ After AI Bot Repeatedly Labels Him a ‘Top Misinformation Spreader’

All these "look at the thing the ai wrote" articles are utter garbage, and only appeal to people who do not understand how generative ai works.

There is no way to know if you actually got the ai to break its restrictions and output something "behind the scenes" or it's just generating the reply that is most likely what you are after with your prompt.

Especially when more and more articles like this comes out gets fed back into the nonsense machines and teaches then what kind of replies is most commonly reported to be acosiated with such prompts...

In this case it's even more obvious that a lot of the basis of its statements are based on various articles and discussions about it's statements. (That where also most likely based on news articles about various enteties labeling Musk as a spreader of misinformation...)

Yes. I used to work in support... I have seen things you people wouldn't believe.

I've seen computers on fire due to dust buildup. I've seen usb cables glitter in the darkness, stuck inside Ethernetports.

All these moments will be lost in time, like a ticket in the support system.

I was just thinking the other day that the plot of the matrix would make a lot more sense now.

The ai is running a simulation of the 90s to keep growing because everything after that is tainted with internet memes and increasing amount of ai slop.

I checked the comments just to make sure someone mentioned eidetic memory.

The "um achually" approach is to point out that "eidetic" is actually the correct term and that "photographic" is a colloquialism.

Dont get it twisted.

What I find interesting is how often statements like this that are trying to unify the working class (or whatever you end up calling it) just derails into semantics instead of actually people bringing out the pitchforks and shouting "eat the rich"

We are all fucked.

Port and starboard

It has its own terms for a very good reason.

It's relative to the boat, so that if you are standing on deck and looking back everyone knows what you mean and not if you are talking about your reative left or the boats.

China's internet is upset that a knock-off of its darling video game, 'Black Myth: Wukong,' is listed on Nintendo's store

Reply in thread

I think the cultural theme of the game is more reason for the "anger" than the gameplay formula.

Its based on the most famous Chinese mythological story / fairytale about the Monkey King Wukong.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_King

I have not deep dived into it, but I think it's a treasured and well known story in China, and I assume a lot of Chinese people are proud of their mythology being a successful story outside of China as well.

I use a notepad in many meeting at work to not be a complete pain in the ass.

If I write it down it's not lost, and if it's actually a good point I can bring it up at a good time or circle back to it.

Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people”

I would agree with you if the same companies challenging copyright (protecting the intellectual and creative work of "normies") are not also aggressively welding copyright against the same people they are stealing from.

With the amount of coprorate power tightly integrated with the governmental bodies in the US (and now with Doge dismantling oversight) I fear that whatever comes out of this is humans own nothing, corporations own everything. Death of free independent thought and creativity.

Everything you do, say and create is instantly marketable, sellable by the major corporations and you get nothing in return.

The world needs something a lot more drastic then a copyright reform at this point.

Blockchain: the wave of the future

The thing is its only the copyrights of individual artists and creators that will die to this.

The big corpos will find a way to protect their value, just you wait.

They will steal from every single creative in the world and then sue them to hell and back if they use anything they them selves "own"

This is not a threat to the copyrights that you want to die.

Sovcit sent the CEO a letter. CEOs love corresponding with sovcits.

Reply in thread

So as far as I can understand there is this whole crazy convoluted thought process that is the base of the sovcit thing.

It is conplicated and deranged but it can be boiled down to them thinking there is some sort of "cheatcode" to every interaction with public and official ententies. If they just use the right words and phrases they can get out of debt, avoid prosecution, get a free beer....

It's all really weird and confused.

'Among Us' Explained. What To Know About The Game Played By Luigi Mangione, Alleged CEO Shooter

I was actually prepared for the Forbes article to be the type of article it criticizes. I'd say the title is under selling the article, and I bet the downvotes are making the same assumption I was.

I also think the title of article is intentionally made to target the people that actually needs to read the Forbes being critical of yet a nother idiotic attempt by other media outlets to villify gaming.

Commandment 1: Tho shalt, and shalt is a pretty big word you know, it means that you should, but it's really like you must. And I think you must, because it's really important to do the things you know, because they are really important and you should do them.

Commandment 2: Because if you didn't then you wouldn't have done it, and then it didn't get done, so you should do it, and other should do it.

Etc etc

It is a house rule and its pretty popular.

It potentially adds a layer of strategy where you should/could retain a +2 or +4 as a defensive measure.

Personally i like this house rule as it makes for more surprices in play when you can defend yourself against those cards.

It does make the game potentially longer and more unpredictable, so like all house rules its a matter of taste.

Google has more than doubled Play Store's app price limit to $1,000

I mean a pianotuneR (as in a guy that tunes your piano) is pretty expensive.

These apps seem to be marketed as tools for professional piano tuners. And looking just at the screenshots it looks like it has a lot of tools and features outside of just showing the correct pitch.

If tuning pianos is your profession, paying 999$ once and writing it off as a business expense isn't that far fetched.

(Better be a bloody useful tool though ;) )
