I don’t understand why Elon chose to go mask off. He could have continued pretending to be a sane if eccentric person. I am glad he did but I don’t understand the motives.
Remember when the Simpsons had Lisa sing his praises?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like covid and him wanting to keep his factories open was when his mask came off completely. People on the right cheered him on, and those on the left finally realized that he isn't a good person nor cares about people.
This then caused a cycle. The left was "mean" and the right celebrated him even more.
Elon, and any other obscenely rich and powerful person for that matter, is just as flawed as any of us. They are not immune to dogma, disinformation and self-delusions. In fact, it may be the case that they are more vulnerable because power and wealth go to your head and you can use them to manifest your delusions, making them seem even more real.
But rich and powerful people have the budget to afford social media managers to curate a beneficial public image for themselves. The smart ones know not to make public statements for themselves.
Imagine making paying someone to make an AI to be your friend and it still hates you. (I presume, given the current state of the right and twitter Grok might not think it is a bad thing.)
Stranger in a Strange Land is like the one sci-fi property Elon might actually understand, since the only real points it had to make is that women are "naturally subservient" even if they're intellectually capable, women who get raped did something to deserve it, the only honest world government is run by white Americans, and classical liberalism is correct, having been depicted as the rich Chad.
But also polyamory is cool. As long as it's mostly the guy sleeping with other women, obviously.
Grok is a verb, meaning to understand something intuitively or by empathy. It was first used in the novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein.
Grok has been adopted by the tech community for use when someone is very advanced at using a certain program or a command line utility, etc. When somebody gets to such an advanced level, they don't just understand the program and it's uses anymore, they grok it.
It's actually kind of annoying and sad that Elon is stealing the word to use for his LLM.
I just want Elon to release the weights for the new one. You know, like he said he would. It actually seems pretty good (whereas the old Grok was totally useless for the size).
But no... just keep harping on OpenAI not being open while you do the same thing.
I, for one, welcome our new Grok overlords. I'd like to remind them that, as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground server caves.
I agree: training an AI on random crap from the internet and expecting it to be useful is a terrible idea. That should have been obvious before you made it.
Are there any rumors or claims that he actually is a pedo? I wouldn't be surprised if he was, but he is a billionaire divorced dad with an ego larger than the moon.
He has an account where he role-plays as a 8 year old. The calling the hero diver a pedophile.. The sexual assault cases... Wouldn't put much passed him...
So many tweets are faked as screenshots to spread misinformation. I don't know if this post is for real or a joke. So please provide links (via the wayback machine).
