A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Meanwhile...grok is busy posting CSAM all over twitter.

[–] Novocirab@feddit.org 24 points 3 weeks ago

It's almost as if Elmo wishes people to talk about something else.

More than time for regulation. LLMs can generally detect when a convo has gone delusional, psychotic, or towards self harm. Those should at minimum be logged and terminated

EDIT: ofc existing laws against csam should be prosecuted. You'd think pizzagate people would be all over this

Leave it to Musk to make Sam Altman seem like a reasonable adult.

[–] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Altman is just Musk with better PR.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 11 points 3 weeks ago

Elon had similar PR until he fired them for not "keeping it real."

Altman responds to Musk

Never wrestle with a pig. You'll get mud all over you, and the pig enjoys it.

[–] Vodulas@beehaw.org 13 points 3 weeks ago

Altman already has plenty of mud on him.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 12 points 3 weeks ago

Doesn't matter since it's pig vs pig in a mud championship.

[–] Kissaki@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

When the pig has a public platform it can be important to respond. Not for the other, but for the audience or community. Otherwise, public discourse becomes dominated by pigs.

(Staying in your analogy. I think pigs are better than that.)

Also gork is used by the department of War. I wonder what they get up to.

Does Elon lose any sleep over his products killing people.. I wonder how many deaths are attributed to Tesla self driving, electric door handles not opening in a crash etc?

[–] Butterbee@beehaw.org 10 points 3 weeks ago

Elon Musk doesn't care about chatgpt killing people either. He's just marketing.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

he does consume cocaine alot, so no. after a ketamine binge.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

ChatGPT will fail, Altman will take the fall, Microsoft will get the whole thing, and nothing negative will be avoided.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

almost a billion people use it

Doubt

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't 😔. It is really popular irl.

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

Surprised grok hasn't been tied to any deaths yet. I guess that's one good thing about attaching it to a social media, someone can see your chat and tell you that drinking Clorox isn't going to teleport you to an alien paradise.
