Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Actually, thinking more about it, it's quite sinister. The characters they have available as examples are: c3po cosmosHelper Dobby eternalAi sbf trump
Of those, I (and I'm guessing most people) only know c3po, Dobby and Trump. And trump is the only known human model. Now let's say you want to test the application (which you can from their website if you give them your chatgpt API token), then people are more likely to pick a character they know and so it's likely to be one of those three. So just running the example with the trump model because you want to test it has already launched a chat bot that has a right leaning rhetoric.
I looked into the commit history and it doesn't seem like there was a lot of activity before the US elections, which is weird since OP claims it was written for that purpose. Moreover, the trump character wasn't commited until two weeks before the election.
Of course it's entirely possible to fake the git history, but I don't think it's likely.
I'm trying to understand who the people are that are developing the software. I should probably make a burner twitter account so I can read more of their profiles...
This is the second highest contributor
Not trying to start a witch hunt, there are plenty of Musk apologists, so this screenshot alone doesn't prove anything.
I'm getting more confused about that person. On their GitHub, they have one repo which is a fork of the main Eliza project. Apart from that, their only contributions are to the Eliza project. Fair enough if they want to have a separate GitHub account just for that purpose. But then their twitter account seems to be some crypto fan /developer and Eliza is only mentioned once. Then where are the crypto projects on their GitHub?
