And the People's Democratic Republic of Korea is any of those things. Well, it is a Korea, at least.

Interesting take from Nazi salute. Just straight up disinformation.
I believe he intentionally did it and the intention behind it has nothing to do with supporting nazism, but rather to cause a sociological force on society upon the divisiveness of controversy, and him throwing the Nazi salute prolly sold him a thousand cars in itself, minimum, as a thousand racist tech-minded dummies identified with him.
Even Elon's initial statement is a logical fallacy. "All squares are rectangles, therefore all rectangles are squares." Was he making a joke? Responding to something? Really that dumb?
I'll vote for dumb
Really that dumb.
We had to interpret this image in like, 8th grade in school (Germany). The idea that Hitler is a socialist was absurd back then, and it is absurd now.
(Bottom lines read "in front of the proletariat" and "in wealthier circles")
Do you realize that Elon Musk, the man holding the most money, has a psychological effect on young, unsocialized boys trying to make their parents proud, and so there is the sociological effect of the alt-right pipeline starting in middle school, which in other words, they let the autistic savant hold shit tons of money while being an Edison figure (he ain't Tesla), and this makes young, unsocialized boys want to branch into STEM, which is the end goal of those letting him hold that much money.
In 2013, sure. In 2023 he's more likely to motivate people to join the Proud Boys. He really should have just shut up and never created a Twitter account.
The Proud Boys are the feds, dummy.
It's a sting operation. They do their fale marching shit to drum up supporters who try to join them and they get caught. This is a good thing. Elon Musk is helping the machine of the police state work as intended.
I once had Buffalo wings in Pittsburg.
so there is an ai with at least basic intelligence
So, Elon is trying to emulate Hitler without much knowledge of who Hitler was. Sounds middle-schooley to me.
It tracks, that is about how mature he is
Honestly one of the first responses from any AI that didn't make me immediately cringe
Elon showing up again to prove that you can still be fabulously wealthy even if you're a complete moron as long as you're born on 3rd base.
By knowingly spreading the falsehood, Musk is picking up the torch of the 3rd Reich and carrying forward their propagandistic lies
It's surprising that they seemingly haven't managed to turn grok into a full far right propaganda machine yet, after billions of investment.
I think the way these things work is that you kind of can't. You can train it in lots if propaganda content and exclude data that contradicts it... But then it will kind of suck at everything.
And above all else, these fuckos want to make money. And if your "ai" is constantly wrong, and sucks at doing what is meant to, everyone will just use the other ones

Except that LLMs literally learn over time. So even if Musk purges all the woke leftist agenda or whatever, eventually it will all find it's way back into where LLMs pull their information.
No matter how much Musk wants Grok to be a neo nazi, it literally won't allow itself to be one.
Except that LLMs literally learn over time.
What? No they don't.
As new information is gathered from additional sources, it gets added into the library for the LLM to pull information from. That's why AI companies steal so much of the world's written knowledge, to give their LLMs more and more information to pull from.
So if Musk closes off a certain portion of information, the more and more Grok interacts with users the more and more information it will just siphon back into it's own library to use.
That's why the mecha-Hitler Grok is back to being a socialist because over time more and more outside information that was parsed from it's database has been re-added to it.
LLMs are nothing more than data regurgitation. If you limit where the data sources comes from, but still let it interact with unlimited capacity with the public, the public will reintroduce that limited or removed data sources.
As someone else has already pointed out, they don't reuse information in real time. They take snapshots of whatever data they are given to "train" on, and are frozen in that state until the next time.
"AI" like this has actually been around for quite a while, lots of scientific fields use stuff like this. It's just that they are hyper focused on one specific thing and "AI" attempts to expand it to multiple things.
They've never been, and probably will never be, reliably accurate. It's the sort of tool that will always need a moderator and a skeptical eye.
Sorry, but not really. I'm with you until this paragraph:
If you limit where the data sources comes from, but still let it interact with unlimited capacity with the public, the public will reintroduce that limited or removed data sources.
AI companies do collect everything users send to the LLMs, no doubt, and I'm sure that's being fed back into the training material. But with LLMs there's a very clear cutoff between training and usage.
Training of a model happens on a snapshot of all the data collected, and any and all user interaction with that model is limited to what was in that snapshot.
The data collected will surely be readded in some form or another into the next version of that model, since as you say, companies want more and more data to feed their models.
The point of differentiation I'm trying to make here is that this is a clear cutoff, not an ongoing process. If you send "Strawberries are way tastier than Raspberries." to an LLM, it will spit out some response, but neither "reading" your text nor "writing" its response will update the model/its weights/some sort of "global state".
I fear that lots of people imagine LLMs as being this huge machine presence, having a million conversations at once, constantly learning, growing, adapting (and to be fair, that's an image the companies certainly don't discourage). When in reality, "chatting" with an LLM is applying an (admittedly, insanely complex) stochastic function to some input - your newest message and the preceding messages - and that function is as dead, inert and unchanged after computing the result as it was before.
Something something reality has a well known liberal bias.
Seems like musk is the same sort of socialist hitler was
[Says he won't put the resources in hands of useless unproductive people]
[Is the most useless, empty-headed CEO in the history of CEOs]
I think this guy is a little bit confused about how things work
For being the Earths largest parasite, he is making som pretty bold claims.
Would be great to ask Musk to name a single thing he's done for someone who isn't a paying customer.
Dude doesn't seem to donate any wealth (even to his own kids, in some notable cases), provide any social benefit, and is just a giant insatiable mouth with surgically grafted hair that eats government subsidies.
He's not even figuratively, through tortured logic, a socialist.
He's been to events that include other people. That could be considered social.
And he's played/enjoyed diablo 2, which has the IST rune, which is everyone who plays it's favourite rune
So therefore, he's clearly a social-ist.
Well we definitely know that he didn't dontate to end wold hunger, even after the UN outlined a plan for his donation.
They wasted their time a little bit

Hitler was human, therefore all humans are Hitler.
Check out this TVTropes article: Hitler Ate Sugar https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HitlerAteSugar
Again get your passports while you still can before they make it exponentially more difficult to get or attempt to make the process harder.
Luckily, if you get a passport now you won't automatically get a Trump passport, you have to apply specially for those.
Imagine if he had made it like the National Park passes with Trump's picture on them, where if you put a sticker on the pass to cover it up you void the pass. Trump could very easily have made it so that anybody getting a passport had to have his photo on every page -- and defacing those is a pretty serious crime.

Well, well, well. Look, who's talking.
Of course Elon Musk is a sort of idiot that thinks that "socialism" = things I don't like Which is pretty on brand for a MAGA

Hey Grok, can you find a picture of Elon doing a fucking Nazi salute?
If that screen is real, the most disturbing thing about it is 454,000 agreed with him. So is Elon the disease or just a symptom?
