Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Oh suddenly we think "AI"s are trustworthy?
I mean Trump definitely is a Russian asset, but what Grok says is neither here nor there
Nobody's saying Grok is trustworthy. The article is about it being funny that it keeps saying shit that goes against the "anti-woke" bias it's programmed to have.
There are multiple links to other times it's happened too. It's hardly an endorsement of Grok.
Well, headlining the article as "Elon’s Grok Chatbot Calculates Probability That Trump Is a Russian Asset" definitely makes it sound like it's supposed to be a calculation of a probability and not just funny as hell.
I'm having trouble wording this in a way that doesn't sound like I'm talking down to you, I can only promise you that that's not my intent.
Headlines have always existed to get your attention, they've always been sensationalised and are frequently somewhat misleading about the substance of the article on the surface to evoke a reaction and get you to visit the website (or buy the newspaper/magazine). The author decided potential information about Trump being a Russian asset is more attention-grabbing than a meaningless story about a crap LLM designed to be crap by a crappy person turning out to be a piece of crap. If that bothers you then it's a perfect example of why you shouldn't get your news from headlines.
I'm not saying this just based on the headline: it's not like the article itself displays anything that I'd consider a critical approach to LLMs. Just because I don't agree with your interpretation of the article doesn't mean I didn't even read it.
This just reads like Grok is any other source and not an LLM.
The article opens with "Elon Musk's supposedly "anti-woke" chatbot"
Right, which just calls into question how "anti-woke" it is. Does that count as a critical approach to LLM outputs to you?
Nope, but your first two comments were about the headline and not the article which is why I assumed you hadn't read any of it, and then you were saying they're treating Grok as a source and not an LLM when they clearly called it a chatbot in the first sentence. I don't have to comment on YOU bringing up critical approaches to LLM outputs when that's not what any of this is about because you're just moving the goalposts.
I didn't mean that they never called it a "chatbot", but that they treat it like a regular meatbag source, more or less.
But yeah, maybe take a break, you've clearly decided to be ANGY about this for some reason.
Bruh. You're so bent over this convo that you can't even spell "angry" correctly, and you're trying to gaslight the other guy into thinking it's on them? Get offline and touch some grass.
