I'm convinced the Amish may have the right idea.

Ted Kaczynski wasn't as crazy as we all thought
No no. He was.
I mean, aside from the whole bombing thing what did he do wrong?
later
Okay, okay... But besides the bombing, the sabotage, the vandalism, the harassment, and the animal cruelty, what did he really do wrong?
I mean, have you seen his dwelling? It was a mess!
Jordan Peterson would not approve...of the cleanliness of his living quarters.
(The rest of it he'd probably give a 👍)
Or when tech is in the hands of a select few vile men, it is becoming a net negative. It definitely is not for the public good.

Not haywire. It was specifically prompted to get that output.
It was asked leading questions about embarrassing topics, but the over-the-top, fawning praise for Musk was baked into the responses without being specifically requested in the prompts.
I think this is the main story. I don't think it's new info, but it confirms the issue persists: this LLM is so heavily trained to fawn over Musk that it doesn't exercise any application of context or attempt to find truth.
Which is sad.
No current AI understands context, they are just glorified word predictions!

It's really just an affirmation machine for tech bros
Yes, just some people figuring out that Grok was steered toward ass-kissing Musk no matter what, and exploited that for funny output. So the takeaways are:
- Musk is such a loser he insisted on Grok kissing his ass
- LLMs remain stupid and have no idea what they are saying
“I’m a Grok guy,” said Vance. “I think it’s the best. It’s also the least woke!”
What a fucking idiot. Really wants everyone to go back to sleep
This headline makes it sound like someone has doubts about Musk's pee drinking skills. That seems a little judgemental. Pretty sure Grok knows his master well.
Pee drinking is somewhat impressive, but can he eat shit and die?
Of course he can’t, he’s too much of a loser to eat shit and die. He couldn’t manage it.
Eat shit? Maybe. But eat shit and die? No sir. No way. I won’t believe it unless I see it for myself.

Although Grok's manipulation is so blatantly obvious, I don't believe that most people will come to realize that those who control LLMs will naturally use this power to pursue their interests.
They will continue to use ChatGPT and so on uncritically and take everything at face value because it's so nice and easy, overlooking or ignoring that their opinions, even their reality, are being manipulated by a few influential people.
Other companies are more subtle about it, but from OpenAI to MS, Google, and Anthropic, all cloud models are specifically designed to control people's opinions—they are not objective, but the majority of users do not question them as they should, and that is what makes them so dangerous.

And with headlines like this, why the fuck do I care about any of the news coming out? This is so fucking ridiculous and stupid. Like come on. What the fuck are we doing in 2025?
Sometimes I like to find top headlines from other countries.
Like damn, your country's biggest news today is that you're replacing outdated lights with eco-friendly alternatives?
Must be nice.

Bannon's strategy: flood the zone with shit and steal as much as you can from the common people; even their rights and liberties.

...our governing hierarchy is just a long list of who's blowing who, isn't it?
it's a snake blowing it's own tail
Finally some accurate information from an LLM
In this case I'm inclined to believe the dumb llm 100%.
How do you know the claims are false? Maybe the AI knows more than we do.
How many resources were destroyed getting Grok to say Elon drinks piss? We all already know he drinks piss. We don’t need to waste precious resources on getting a robot to say it.

I can’t stop laughing at these, what a great day of shitposting
Well now let's hear it out...
This is undeniable proof that Grok is the most accurate.
I think they're programming the ketamine into the LLM at this point
Humanity invented the assembly line and the first thing we did was have a huge war with the rest of humanity.
Humanity invented the atomic bomb, and the first thing we did was drop it on humanity, twice.
Humanity invented the Internet, and the first thing we did was figure out how to censor humanity.
Now humanity has invented AI, a queryable sum of all human knowledge, and the first thing we do is try to manipulate humanity with it.
I don't really know for assembly line and the atomic bomb, but for internet and AI the first thing we did is porn.

For the record, I am a fat retard.
Well Elmo, that might be the first, and likely last thing we both agree on
Did it really go haywire, or was it actually giving 100% accurate facts and they are just claiming it went haywire? 🤔
