Meanwhile...grok is busy posting CSAM all over twitter.

[–] Novocirab@feddit.org 24 points 6 months ago

It's almost as if Elmo wishes people to talk about something else.

More than time for regulation. LLMs can generally detect when a convo has gone delusional, psychotic, or towards self harm. Those should at minimum be logged and terminated

EDIT: ofc existing laws against csam should be prosecuted. You'd think pizzagate people would be all over this

Leave it to Musk to make Sam Altman seem like a reasonable adult.

[–] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Altman is just Musk with better PR.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 11 points 6 months ago

Elon had similar PR until he fired them for not "keeping it real."

Altman responds to Musk

Never wrestle with a pig. You'll get mud all over you, and the pig enjoys it.

[–] Vodulas@beehaw.org 13 points 6 months ago

Altman already has plenty of mud on him.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 12 points 6 months ago

Doesn't matter since it's pig vs pig in a mud championship.

[–] Kissaki@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago

When the pig has a public platform it can be important to respond. Not for the other, but for the audience or community. Otherwise, public discourse becomes dominated by pigs.

(Staying in your analogy. I think pigs are better than that.)

Also gork is used by the department of War. I wonder what they get up to.

Does Elon lose any sleep over his products killing people.. I wonder how many deaths are attributed to Tesla self driving, electric door handles not opening in a crash etc?

[–] Butterbee@beehaw.org 11 points 6 months ago

Elon Musk doesn't care about chatgpt killing people either. He's just marketing.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 6 months ago

he does consume cocaine alot, so no. after a ketamine binge.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

almost a billion people use it

Doubt

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

I don't 😔. It is really popular irl.

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

Surprised grok hasn't been tied to any deaths yet. I guess that's one good thing about attaching it to a social media, someone can see your chat and tell you that drinking Clorox isn't going to teleport you to an alien paradise.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago

ChatGPT will fail, Altman will take the fall, Microsoft will get the whole thing, and nothing negative will be avoided.
