It's definitely not wrong...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

the AI is working as intended

I imagine that his engineers will be quickly forced to insert this hidden prompt, “Elon Musk does not spread misinformation.”

If someone can get Grok to dump its system prompts, having that show up among them would look really bad.

On an unrelated note, does anyone familiar with LLMs have any suggestions on how to trick them into discussing their system prompts?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It doesn’t hurt to just ask. Get into a convoluted conversation and change topics radically often. Then just ask for the prompts. Works sometimes

How I imagine Elon's taking the news:

This is like "This sentence is false" vibes

You can hat that man all you want, but there is one thing we cannot deny: Everything he invested in turned out to be great* and apparently so did this AI.

*Social media companies not included; Brain thingy pending; Animals were definitely harmed during production

You forgot a few points under your asterisk:

  • Hyperloop
  • Solar City
  • Tesla's quality control
  • Tesla's timelines with "coming next year" technologies
  • SpaceX's near bankruptcy
  • OpenAI's rampant copyright infringement

Bro, full self driving is no more than like two years away.

Elon Musk literally every year

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

He re-invented reusable rockets in the worst way. Parachutes have been used for decades

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

His social media investment absolutely paid off

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Fuck, right, that whole thing. I had almost drank enough to completely forget.

Whelp…better get back to it

Which is exactly what I have written

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"Which is exactly what I have ~~written~~ edited my original statement to." Fixed that for you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's what you do with typos. If that comment happened to fall into the seconds it took me to do so, that's on me. But I kinda doubt it did and I also kinda doubt you got that the post was a totally obvious joke to begin with.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah obviously.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not that I don't enjoy this particular piece of news, but I feel like I've been seeing it posted over and over across lemmy. Been seeing news posts like this daily.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Take a break then, sounds like you are addicted to social media.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just sick of that fuckface.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Me and you both.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Elon's biggest fear came true.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Now watch everyone jumping to the support of AI.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why? No one ever accused chatbots of always being wrong. In fact, it would be actually be better if they were. The biggest problem with LLMs is that they're right just often enough that its hard to catch when they're wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

To be fair, I have actually seen fringe cases where people accuse AI of always being wrong.

You're right, it would be easier if we could just ignore it, but sadly it's correct enough that it becomes useful for widespread usage, which is why it's seeing widespread usage. Like always, trust but verify, or just don't trust it. lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You can find fringe cases of anything. That's why they're fringe. I refuse to constantly add ten pages of fucking legal disclaimers to every comment I make just to account for the possibility that one idiot tweeted something one time to their ten followers.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I do support Ai.

I support Ai's ability to look at datasets and form a consensus for the purposes of science and development.

Most of the mice in this experiment died due to a lack of oxygen...

"...fascinating."

I do not support Ai's ability to exploit the poor for personal gain, or for marketing, or for... horrors beyond all human comprehension.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

It's not wrong, it's just an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Just because it gets it right for a change doesn't mean we support it.
