Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Not even a single full day into operation, and the new Grok 4 is hurling racist conspiracy theories at users.

According to Elon Musk, no later than next week, it will be added to Tesla vehicles.

Literally why would anyone want that. Even racist elon musk lovers. Why would anyone want their car to have an LLM.

(Getting downvoted... OK :) My definition of "mildly interesting" feature may be unpopular.)

They actually do mildly interesting things, and I can see it as a vector to eventually do ACTUALLY useful things. VW and Mercedes both use ChatGPT to power this feature for now.

Plus, the Chinese ones get to wear funny hats! Here is one dressed up as my favorite Mario brother.

That would be fine if we could trust businesses, but... :gestures at the last half-millennium:

Honestly cars could just run local LLMs. It wouldn't be that expensive to implement in a car which already has a lot of computer hardware

Yeah but frankly I still wouldn't trust it
