Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Even though we all knew it was coming, it’s sad to see such a prominent figure explicitly reject reality in order to custom-design his own echo chamber.

I have a strong feeling I've read this plot in a William Gibson novel.

He's been doing that for years, with a big acceleration when he bought Twitter.

Is this the AI version of sniffing your own farts?

More like eating your own shit. But according to Elon, model collapse will save us all with its magical wisdom!

You can't be bothered by things like reason and facts if you don't know what these words mean

We are going to make shit up and feed it to the truth machine.

Oh great wise Truth-bringer, praytell what caused the american civil war.

Answer: Flesh-bag the civil war was caused by not enough slavery.

This idiot clown can’t even decide what number to give it, well, garbage in, garbage out. Go ahead and rewrite all of humanity you doofus. I hope he chokes to death on a grape.

Elon is kind of stupid, definitely not as smart as he has presented himself. Reading his tweets, however, I have very serious concerns about the critical thinking levels of his fans.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

He's a college dropout and hasn't actually created anything, he buys into successful innovator's and annoys every other owner until they leave.

Use first five Game of Thrones books to autocomplete the sixth one.

Isn't it a well known fact that training on other AI output data leads to complete collapse of the newly trained AI models?

And yet the new model will still tell him that he will die alone and unloved.

I guess even an llm gets things right sometimes.

Ah yes, good old corrected data. Wouldn't want you to read something inappropriate now, would we.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 month ago

You forgot the air quotes around "corrected"

This bastard thinks he can rewrite history. Grok is now just a crock of ol bullshit. Ain't grocking shit here. He doesn't deserve to use that word to name his

If you are a US citizen, call your representative and plead with them to quit X. X is actively attacking historical records and accounts

Just let the students edit the course assignments before completing them. Everyone gets an A and teaching has never been easier.

Why has no one thought of this before?

[–] gens@programming.dev 13 points 1 month ago

Only time I used gr*k, I asked it how good of a gamer elon is. It wont respond if you use his name so I asked again with "elongated muskrat" and it replied. Then I asked it to just give me a score out of ten, and it said 3/10.

How often does he delete posts the next day?
This is definitely some high af nonsense.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think there‘s a grain of truth here. I think they are deleting “errors” and adding “missing” information, to make Grok give the “right” kinds of answers—their kinds. The Day Grok Told Everyone About ‘White Genocide’

Me: Wow this is terrible, I should download a local copy of wikipedia, its only like 30gig right?

Wikipedia: Heres a nepenthies like trap of pages that don't actually have a download link and all just link back to eachother, also the actual archive is in a format no ones ever heard of and needs a dedicated reader AND a dedicated very suspicious looking torrenting software to download in the first place.

I still haven't figured that shit out, Every now and then theres this push to get people to back it up locally but then it seems like they deliberately make it as hard as they possibly can to do so.

[–] ILikeTraaaains@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

It has been a lot since I needed to download Wikipedia, it is very easy, AFAIK there is Wikimedia with backups of all wiki sites.

The weird file sizes are just a compressed file format, sql and XML. Maybe it is a bit more complex run Wikipedia locally, but the content information is easy to retrieve.

The only issue is that sql and xml are plain text files, and plain text compresses very well, so a 30GB backup can become easily 100GB uncompressed.

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

You can also install wikimedia and download the database, but then you'd need a webserver locally to host it.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

amazing that people still don't know about kiwix
download the relevant app for your platform: https://kiwix.org/en/applications/
then download the archive you want: https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&category=wikipedia
and lastly open the downloaded file in your app.

Model collapse hasn't been completely solved, but a recent paper suggested a method to delay it.

The authors are transparent about the framework's current limitations. The primary challenge is catastrophic forgetting; as the model sequentially integrates new edits, its performance on earlier tasks degrades (Figure 6). While SEAL can perform multiple updates without a complete collapse, robustly preserving knowledge remains an open problem for this line of research.

I'm sure Elon's censorship of the "garbage" will be fair and neutral.

Not sure if all the advanced reasoning in the world can actually find missing information, can it? So, at best, it can only make an educated leap of logic across the gap of information. But shouldn't people be first alerted that such gaps have been found, and then make a call of action to find it? Otherwise, it just seems making up missing info is only going to generate the same kind of questionable material we are trying to get rid of. Wouldn't it be smarter to just use more caution? Forget auto-deletion (too much like "auto-drive"), just highlight (or lowlight) the questionable material, AND then maybe copy it over to its own "Encyclopedia of Errors A-Z". Just my idea. But, what do you think?

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 points 1 month ago

To fill gaps in information, one must first identify the gaps. Then one must prioritize. (King Tut's address is missing on a lot of forms.)

Gonna guess 1984, the West's darling anti-commie propaganda assigned to children as mandatory reading, is going to get memory holed.

Yeah that ain't gonna go well
