Are they going to outsource data entry to india? All AI "benefits" are almost solely derived from outsourcing.
Who am I kidding, this is probably just a scheme to get the government to pay for "Grok" which might as well be a word that means "garbage"

Can't wait for prompt hackers to trick the AIs into divulging sensitive information
Assuming we correct course and stop our spiral into authoritarianism in 4 years, we're going to have to completely rebuild our entire federal tech infrastructure. It simply can't be trusted after these traitors. The possibility of backdoors is simply too high. It's going to cost billions and billions of dollars.
We're all going to need new Social Security numbers, because this dumbfuck now has them all on his private servers.

The most frustrating part is that both the republican senators and house members KNOW this makes no sense, but they don't have the balls to say anything. Our government is so fucked.
Every Republican in Congress that isn't speaking up (so all of them) are literal traitors to our nation. And we're paying them to be traitors.

yeah cause they’re all getting money under the table in various forms. i’m convinced every politician that has not spoken out about the ridiculous shit that has been happening is bought out
It's safe to assume anyone not speaking out now is complicit
it's not about sense. it's about derealization, overwhelming, doing their best to "flood the zone with shit". makes people give up. makes people not care about the truth. makes people forget there is such a thing as truth, and cleave to simple bullshit tribal identities.
they kind of need this, because everything they want to do is fucking monstrous, and if anyone ever talked about it honestly at scale, they would all be hanged or beheaded in about five minutes. it's their only hope of keeping power. chat bots are a great tool for making it happen.
My God. Is that seriously how he dresses himself? How am I supposed to take him seriously? This is what cringe middle schoolers thought was cool when I was in school.
Saw a picture of him without sunglasses recently and man has bloodshot ketamine addict eyes, the sunglasses are to hide that.

just saw the simpsons episode yesterday!
It’s a cop out and a dumb one. ai is inefficient, and bad at doing human jobs cause it’s not human, useful as a tool but not on its own
AI would be great. AI could probably do a lot of human jobs.
large language models are not AI. please stop calling them that. they're literally the same kind of algorithm your phone keyboard uses for autocorrect, but scaled way up with a bunch of recursion. start typing, then let autocorrect fill in a few sentences. this is just a fancier, not even much more sophisticated, version of that.
this isn't about efficiency. this is about looting and lying. it's about fucking up peoples lives, overwhelming them and frustrating them on a daily basis so they are too exhausted to care whats true, what's human, or anything else but what daddy tells them.
In total agreement with you there. LLM are fancy autocorrect search bars, they 100% are not intelligent other than the programming behind it. I honestly gave up correcting people on this, be cause it’s all being pushed by marketing as AI and it’s omnipresent.

Make solutions in search of problems while collecting big tech premiums. If anyone accuses you of wasteful spending call them science illiterate to turn the public against them to divert the attention away from yourself.
