Time to start a new business to distract people the previous one is not living up to expectations. Musk style. (A degree of vertical integration will also be involved)
E: '"The Grok integration with X has made everyone jealous,” says someone working at another big AI lab. “Especially how people create viral tweets by getting it to say something stupid.”' These are deeply unserious people, billions of dollars just to build AI Dril, which was already a thing. Is there some weird nerd somewhere who said something like 'culture is downstream from viral memes' or something just as dumb? Related to that, so I have basically quit twitter, and only visit there to look up if a quoted thing was real etc, but damn the site has gotten bad. How does anybody use it when so many replies are either bot replies, ai replies or people using their checkmark to push their one word replies to the top? Esp bigger accounts/viral tweets just get swarmed with shit. It has a bit of the 'comment section of abandoned blog' feeling to it. And this is the validation the AI company craves?
Wtf
E: it might have been fixed, now only if they also fixed all the other things. Erugh hate how much they are offloading the 'is this valuable' thing on just how mad (and who) people are getting. Such an extreme social cost (but very 'X but on the blockchain!' techbro style offloading of the costs unto others)
Yeah, it is fucking scary. My sympathies and solidarity. Small thing, perhaps a good reminder for everybody to check their opsec (esp if you are an administrator of things, check which data you do not need, or should not fall into the current (or future) us/other fascist administrations hands. And remember while spying on Americans by the various orgs is illegal, trading for information on them with other countries is not. Don't forget backups). It is horrible that it has come to this. One small point of light is that they are fools and can't shut up or be subtle. At least that has a chance to motivate more people to do something, which if it gets to the worst (and it is getting close) more people will actually resist (sadly a lot of people will have to realize that the point becomes not to win, but to impose costs/friction, and any wins are a bonus, which is a horrible realization in itself). Really hope this doesn't make things worse mentally btw.
A new hat let me check almost clicks wait a minute, I can't afford a new monitor, you are trying to trick me!
Fair enough, I thought it was a funny reaction esp as I had never heard of the brand, and also never will again after this.
Have the Proud Boys eaten anyone yet?
My bet, yes but it has not been publicly revealed.
Every 3 months! Every 3 months fucking hell. (I know because last time they came in the news I opened a tab with them in it, and their faces was the last I saw before my monitor exploded, like literally suddenly I sat in darkness.
I was reminded of Risky Business and how some of the cybersecurity is sometimes relevant to this sub, which reminded me they talked about this Cryptocurrency people being actually rubber hosed
And of course somebody goes full transphobia in the comments (with one of the dumbest arguments, which I will not repeat here because transphobia)
"In hindsight, CFAR co-founder Anna Salamon told NBC, “we were creating conditions for a cult.”", if only there had been people warning about this, sadly such a club didn't exist. Anyway, im sure this will lead to them reflecting and changing things.
