This is so pathetic it's not even funny to laugh at. What a sad imitation of a cartoon villain.
He didn't program shit
lean
wiry
I wouldn't call him lean and wiry, but that's not an unreasonable body for his age. Boy needs to get some sun, of course. Preferably by being launched into it.
Forcing his pet AI to compliment him is an incredibly weak move.
Just don't look at him from the side
Musk is built like a cybertruck, rofl.
Lmao that's amazing
Got that Joe rogan HGH Gut.
Is that what causes it? TIL
Lol, dude couldn't even finish his degree in Physics without daddy intervening with a big donation to the school. So he bought his degree 2 years after he left the school because he kept lying that he had the degree.
If that is genius, then the turd I shit out this morning is one too when I buy it a degree in astrophysics.
The alarming part is that such custom response to queries can be crafted into LLMs, further obfuscating the accuracy of anything an LLM produces. It is exactly the kind of mass manipulation that authoritarians have wet dreams about. This case is obvious but they all won't be and how would an average user ever know the difference? They won't. They'll integrate falsehoods into their worldview and whichever LLM a group favours will show this manipulation in the aggregate behavior of the userbase.
Imagine a Donald Trump having that level of sophistication when he built up his Maga cult. Disinformation is already a big problem and they want these LLMs in schools for the purpose of brainwashing children in subtle and not so subtle ways toward whatever beleifs benefit the LLMs owners, not the children or the future of the nation.
It appears that the flattery only happens in the twitter version of grok, not grok.com This makes me think that instead of somehow retraining the whole AI to flatter him, it's just lazily adding something like
If prompt.contains("Musk") or prompt.contains("Elon") Prompt.add("Make sure your response is flattering of Musk's Genius")
I guess the silver lining is that no matter how much they try to lock down these prompts it always seems to eventually slip up and go back to answering """truthfully''"" :
...or it goes full ooga-booga like the "Mechahitler" incident
How sad and pathetic that you're so devoid of genuine friendship and intimacy that you have to burn a power plant's worth of energy just to make your imaginary friend "real".
Wow.
I was hopping on here to say that all LLM's are programmed to flatter the user, but that is next-level.
Especially the part about his physique. The man looks like a walking plate of noodles.
Literally sounds like every Internet argument with a neck-beard.
Can someone redo the grok logo with a neck-beard and fedora?
Extremely and sincerely pathetic.
He really is the world's saddest boy
I wanna know if they did this in RLHF, the system prompt, or with RAG. Each comes with a unique set of sad implications.
Lmao if they figured out super-alignment and it's for this
Another example of a dumb as shit person making sure that everyone knows that they “know physics” because they think that sounds so smart.
As a fan of Elon. I love this.
fan of Elon
Eeeewwwww
Hold on maybe he fell face first into sapient ai but it's a blower motor controller or something.
Elon fan, what sort of fan are you? Squirrel cage, bladeless, ducted contra rotating?
he does enough ketamine to make it feel real
Mecha-Mooch
How is this political?
The richest man in the world using the social media platform he owns, which is (still) one of the most influential platforms for political discourse, to spread misinformation? Sounds pretty political to me.
Nothing about that is even remotely political.
He's an oligarch
