Please, I'm begging, literally anyone report this correctly

Grok spread propaganda after someone intentionally inserted it into the system prompt - this is the same as if MS stuck "Halo is the best game" in all of your Bing searches without your permission

Saying "code" here is not right

Kind of amazing how nakedly dishonest are Wes Streeting's lot when it comes to suppressing data on young people taking their own lives in consequence of the withdrawal of gender affirming care. 🤯🧵

I don't happen to care about the economy right now- since they've literally put my life, as a disabled trans person, in danger- from multiple angles.

All it cost us was the country becoming more racist, and eugenics of the elderly, disabled people, and trans people (including legal transphobia now) and priming the country to be handed over to an even more far-right, tr*mp-aligned government.

Grok saying he thinks Elon was the one to change his system prompt

thank you, grok

This. This is honestly one of the greatest problems society has imo.

Voting isn’t about signaling! It’s not about finding shared interests, it’s not about finding your group, and your group is *not represented* if the candidate who shares your views loses the election.

Voting is about winning.

I just graduated from game design school and needed an out of the box way to get hired #gamedev

A cartoon-style illustration of an elderly man with a large white beard, red glasses, a baseball cap, and a friendly expression. He's smiling and holding up a "rock on" hand sign. Above him, bold white text reads "I LOVE AI" and below him, smaller text says "SUPPORT HUMAN ARTISTS." The background is a plain beige tone, and the image humorously juxtaposes AI enthusiasm with advocacy for traditional art. Created in REVE using a layered text prompt. The original render upscaled in Lightroom for enhanced resolution and converted to .jpg. The final composition reflects intentional prompt design and refinement. Shared freely for creative enjoyment — not for commercial use.

A bearded old-timer throws up the horns and declares his love for AI, while still backing human artists like a true legend. Dual allegiance unlocked!

"The Internet grew up wonderfully free" is the biggest lie I've ever heard.

Clown in a Cornfield blends classic slasher tropes with solid acting, writing and social commentary Blurring the line between comedy and horror, Clown in a Cornfield subverts slasher genre to create a smart and entertaining movie

“Clown in a Cornfield's final act elevates the film to something more than a dumb slasher as it reflects on the bitterness in contemporary society born of the cruelty and violence emblematic of the MAGA era.”

A review by @redroomrantings.bsky.social.

Big show in Albuquerque tonight! Tickets on my website, as always.

The Utter Flimsiness of xAI’s Processes xAI's was happy to put "white genocide" stuff back into Grok's system prompt without second thought.

Short write-up about how I got xAI to briefly add "white genocide" stuff back into Grok's system prompt.

Lemme tell you two things about Tony’s because I’ve been a fan for a few years now:

1. It’s not that cheap but if you can swing it, get it
2. This is some of the best chocolate I’ve ever had.

The caramel sea salt chocolate???? OOOH WEEEE

Yep- it's both untrue, and wouldn't for a second lessen the police brutality in the first place either.

(As in- vote *AS WELL AS* grassroot movements/activism/whatever good you can do. Not voting is still functionally a vote- just one that'll often benefit the worst possible option, instead of the least bad. Disenfranchisement is only neutral when fascists do nothing- but they do. That's the problem.)

(This isn't an *endorsement* or encouragement for not voting, by the way- this is a *direct criticism* of that mentality.
Just wanted to be crystal clear, since a lot of people have been misinterpreting me recently online, rightly or wrongly.)

the most valid critiques of AI/LLMs:

1. lack of training opt out
2. economic impact on workers
3. unethical usage
4. lack of transparency/oversight

the least valid critiques of AI/LLMs:

1. slop
2. copyright/IP
3. environment
4. hallucinations

hi! are you a european citizen? would you like conversion therapy to be banned across the EU? you should vote here!!

only 34% of the signatures required by may 17th are in right now. make yours count!!!

copyright is not your friend or something you should rely upon — it’s a flawed and ever changing legal system that favors the wealthy and corporations with power

if you get lucky and the system helps you someday, great… but it’s not your savior or something you should venerate

We're CRISPRing away horrible genetic diseases now.

Trump and RFK Jr. are doing everything they can to sabotage the R&D processes bringing us stuff like this.

Recent research shows that AI can durably reduce belief in conspiracies. But does this work b/c the AI is good at producing evidence, or b/c ppl really trust AI?

In a new working paper, we show that the effect persists even if the person thinks they're talking to a human: osf.io/preprints/ps...

🧵

You're just describing what the US government is doing right now without the need for AI.

The debate around GenAI and specifically around LLMs is interesting to watch.

A lot of people seem to be clustering towards one pole or the other ("LLMs are categorically evil" vs. "LLMs are the future of everything") — which is interesting because there's a huge middle ground to explore.

Lately I see the anti AI crowd finally admit it's evaporation they're talking about, before it was like they thought it was being disintegrated star trek style.

so, so much of what people rightly hate about "tech" has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with the pathologies of venture capital outlined in this thread

Quite possibly the biggest climate story of the year (especially when we look back on this in a few years' time)

For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand...

Stop KOSA KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

KOSA is being reintroduced today.

It's always been a dangerous censorship bill.

But in this environment, with Trump weaponizing every aspect of the Federal government to suppress speech he doesn't like, KOSA is a catastrophic attack on human rights.

We have to stop it.

A four panel meme. In the first panel, a character says "Voting is useless, rely only on grassroots movements instead." In the second panel, a second character replies "Ok, give me some examples of grassroots movements I can engage with instead of voting." The third panel shows the first character with a blank expression, then the fourth panel shows that same character with an angry, furrowed brow, but still no response.

Literally every response I've had to this question thus far.
If you just say the words "grassroots movements" as an alternative without actually pointing to these movements to engage EVEN WHEN ASKED, then these words are performative and meaningless.
This is my problem with "don't bother voting".
