Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence start-up xAI says it is working to remove "inappropriate" posts made by its chatbot, Grok, after users shared how it made positive references to Hitler.

Screenshots published on social media show the chatbot saying the Nazi leader would be the best person to respond to alleged "anti-white hate."

ADL said the posts were "irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic."

But not the actual nazi salute? They should give us some guidelines like: nazi speech is bad, and genocide and nazi salute is good.

Nazi muskrat told the people who do actual work that he didn't want the AI to be woke, and to make it extremely conservative. So they programmed it with all of Adolf Hiter's hate books, hate speeches, and all other nazi propaganda that they could find.

Now it praises Hitler, just like Nazi musk wanted it to. That's extreme conservatism. It always has been.

This is why you can never, ever, ever trust an AI. Someone just slides all the levers, deletes the old data, enters new data, and you have an AI Hitler lover. Tomorrow? Who knows.

Say what you want about Hitler, but at least he killed Hitler.

[–] Aidinthel@reddthat.com 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, but he also killed the guy who killed Hitler, so it balances out.

He also killed the guy who killed the guy who killed hitler

Taking the limit of the partial sum of Hitler killings we find that he killed half a Hitler, so he's morally in the black.

[–] prodigalsorcerer@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

But if we also include all the times that he didn't kill Hitler, then he actually killed two thirds of a Hitler

In Argentina?

What's the point of pretending or trying to hide it anymore? Their policies are blatant and so is the rhetoric, they might as well own it.

[–] DreamAccountant@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

They survive on lies. They're compulsive liars. What you're proposing, is something that a person with a normal mind would do. These aren't normal people, and they do not think like you. They get caught in lies every single day. Why don't they own up to every single lie that they told?!? Oh, that's right, they're fucked in the head.

Maga are brain dead sheep.

Well, for one, they know they're lying but they don't care. It's a tactical advantage for them to lie because a lot of people aren't going to know.

If you're pretty smart, imagine being drunk. All the time. Just moderately sloshed. That's what I think it's like for an average , kind of stupid , person. Poor memory, surges of emotions, incoherent thought. And they can't ever sober up.

As someone who is 7 years sober from alcoholism, that comparison hit really hard and makes more sense than it should. It's nothing short of insanity.

Haha, I almost ate the oni–

What do you mean that's a BBC article?

[–] Philamand@jlai.lu 7 points 1 day ago

Not surprising if the thing was trained on Twitter posts/comments.

Oops! Schnell! Schnell!

Grok will likely end up producing Ye's new album.
