Elon Musk is openly touting his dumbass Grokipedia as the future replacement for Wikipedia with its pesky facts & lack of corporate oversight.

Like, that's less "conspiracy brained" and more OH MY GOD THEY OPENLY ADMIT IT AND NOBODY BATS AN EYE. 😬

Skiten skulle leveres i går, nå sier de mandag. Drit og dra!

Buying a flat costs a million pounds, everyone is full of microplastics, we've just blasted past 1.5° of global warming and the world is run by sclerotic legacy billionaires with prion diseases. You're fucking luck Gen Z aren't mailing pipe bombs to bankers. Let them have their fucking croissant.

brigaded by the vile trolls again, simply for deliberately provoking them with lies and insults

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies. “I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida. “I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”

The chance of catching an antifascist subtext in mass-appeal fantasy is pretty low unless you've acquired those ideas already.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
