I wish they were ever truly dead

make chatbots funny again

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Ladies and gentlemen please act surprised the bot program by a racist is racist.

He may have deleted it, but you know he printed it first and hung it on his refrigerator.

[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 24 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

We all knew this was going to happen. Anythjng this idiot owns is going to be manipulated to his views. He has no moral compass. Let's see how crazy he can get from the drugs.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The answer is "yes" to how crazy. He's cheating though, he started out batshit.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

I've got a checklist for him to try. Though apparently one of the items on there is fucking named after him.

He should try mixing deleriants and empathogens. Or just take a heroic dose of datura.

I would like a cigar, yes please

Naaah, this thing is what Jews use! I've seen it, no cap!

ADL responds to this event:

Programming is hard. We understand that sometimes mistakes are made and LLMs go from Hitler bad, to Hitler good. Everyone should be more accommodating toward Mr.Musk's autism.

In other news, Mamdani should be deported for saying Israel has the right to exist as a state with EQUAL rights. As this is a blatant example of anti-semitism.

Is it bad that I wasn't sure you were joking?

I mean why even hide it. Dude literally outted on Jan 20

[–] yoshisaur@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

b-b-but he has Asperger's and autism!! leave the billionaire alone!

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think self diagnosis on autism tend to be correct to some extent, but if he said that he is autistic it was probably just because he doesn't want to be responsible for the shit he does.

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

In the end it doesn’t even matter. Autism can explain some behavior but should never be used as an excuse.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

I'll diagnose him as a Nazi then.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Was that the autistic Nazi salute?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That was temporary tourettes (self diagnosed)

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago

Dude is going full Cartman

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Look like the authentic nazi salute

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 108 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

White supremacist narcissist cry-baby has his people skew the AI chat bot bias from factual to fit his reality tunnel and now it is a nazi bot.

Shocker, isn't it.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s actually wild that it was the #1 LLM for a while in terms of accuracy and usefulness.

But for whatever reason they seemingly keep fucking around with it for political reasons trying to make it politically agree with Elons stupid politics.

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have a source on that claim?

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In February when Grok 3 was first on every chatbot arena metric – that was just a bit after deepseek r1, and o3, and the space has evolved a lot since then.

However, checking wikipedia it actually seems like they juiced the metrics by using unfair comparisons and letting Grok try the problems 64 times and returning the best answer in their comparisons.

You'll find that Elon's companies do this a lot...

Look at Tesla's website:

  1. "Full Self Driving" despite absolutely nothing of the sort even existing.
  2. Their acceleration numbers are faked by adding 60-ft rollouts to them.
  3. Fake prices shown to customers with government incentives and random guesses at gas savings factored in.
  4. Entire FSD demo videos completely faked.
  5. Faked FSD driving statistics
[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 3 points 21 hours ago

As expected. Yep. Hes a real pos.

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 80 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Musk can't escape the accusations of Nazism. You'd almost think there was something to them

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Aren't we beyond accusations now? He confirmed it again and again and again.

I don't understand why he is censoring his robot

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

It's not like it's even all that difficult. Just don't act like a Nazi.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Nothing's on purpose, ma'am."

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 7 points 1 day ago

Is he even trying to escape them? He's been pretty clear about his opinions on Jews and the like.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are we sure it was the chat bot and not Elon himself?

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

Really. The MechaHitler name seems like a dead giveaway.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably more like “Elon Musk tells some manager to tell an engineer to delete the posts and then gives hazy, contradictory instructions while in a K-hole.” It’s not like he does stuff besides raise money and be a mascot.

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The point of being executive is that you take responsibility for the company. Why else are they there for?

The point of being an executive is depositing huge checks while serving on the boards of other companies and voting for their executives' huge checks. Are you new to this planet?

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well yes, that's what they're supposed to be doing...but how many CEOs are actually held properly accountable for the shit their companies do?

Just one, and they arrested the guy who made it happen

They removed the following term from the default prompt given to the AI-

-The response should not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated.

So I guess things no longer have to be substantively true.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Github keeps failing to load the change tracking, so this is all I see

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

If you reload and stop you'll see it, it's failing on the comments section since it was... as expected.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Apparently it was on felony strike.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Has anybody seen or heard from Linda Yaccarino?

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Why does it even matter?

They probably will do better with it at this point. I'm surprised they didn't defend it.
