i think that's a good point. if you want to train an ai to be accurate, or solve problems, or model some kind of useful behavior, you wouldn't feed it twitter. can an ai tell facts from fiction? not really, right? no surprise though, the tech guys that made a trillion dollars each on addicting people to advertising platforms are seeing the capability of ai through the lens of a convincing manipulation tool, not a useful for practical purposes tool.
i think the stuff sucks, i think it's a bust.

Doesn’t Musk himself control xAI? The other owners may not have a say in the matter.

Elon Musk's X to clamp down on parody accounts
Some users have complained about Elon Musk parody accounts on the platform.
www.bbc.com
Fake and parody accounts must now be clearly identified as such by having the word "fake" or "parody" at the start of the name. I might create a parody Musk account called "fake tech genius" or "fake gamer" or just "fake".
Will he include his fake accounts in that policy?

There definitely should be accounts dedicated to the solid Jam and Lewis cut

interesting article about how musk could use tesla stock to buy xai, which now owns twitter, at a greatly reduced price for billions of dollars of money he claims his own company is worth. essentially, money he pulled out of thin air, leaving tesla investors with the bill

... What's that you say? Solar City?
Actually, I think it's obvious that this will happen. It'll convert his failing investment in Twitter into more shiny Tesla shares.
I see Muck changed his Twitter handle to "Gorklon Rust" and his Rust memecoin's value skyrocketed.
This was a week ago. I'm interested to see whether the price has fallen again.

I believe it's worth very little. The quick research I did showed it was less than a penny per unit.

Apparently Musk is getting annoyed Grok won’t say that white genocide in South Africa is a real thing so he’s turned the racism up to 11. Net effect: wildly different issues treat as white genocide. See link for examples.

Some interesting responses from grok yesterday.

I tried it out yesterday and it did bring up the subject. Since then, all those responses by grok have been removed.

Suddenly All Elon Musk's Grok Can Talk About Is 'White Genocide' in South Africa
Elon Musk has spread false claims about 'white genocide' in South Africa, and now his chatbot Grok keeps bringing it up on X.

Poor old Musk. He can force his creature to spread his propaganda but not to lie about the fact he did so. What a maroon.

That's appalling.
Of course, it does rely on Grok not just making up the answer it models as being requested. Which is a problem with several LLMs.
But it certainly is true about it raising the topic of "white genocide" in unrelated questions

Which is why Grok will never be a marketable AI for companies to use. You can't trust what it says because it's being openly manipulated by the people who run it.

LOL it's the golem myth all over again: don't create what you can't control, and by the time you realize you can't control it it's already too late.
I thought the golem myth was to always slightly undersize a ring so it can't fall off.

That path leads to destruction, and to the emergency room because lack of circulation risks losing the part. Seriousness depends on what, exactly, you have put the ring on.

If you liked it, you should have put a ring on it.
If it turns a funny colour, you probably shouldn't have.

What's your favorite movie quote? Mine is "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she commits white genocide in South Africa."Apparently Musk is getting annoyed Grok won’t say that white genocide in South Africa is a real thing so he’s turned the racism up to 11.

That goes for all LLMs. There's not a single one of them that you can trust to be not manipulatable, because they were built by being manipulated.

Oh, good one! That's Cagney's line from White genocide Heat, isn't it?
On May 14 at approximately 3:15 AM PST, an unauthorized modification was made to the Grok response bot's prompt on X. This change, which directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic...
Nothing to worry about if one relies on LLMs
