He may have deleted it, but you know he printed it first and hung it on his refrigerator.

Ladies and gentlemen please act surprised the bot program by a racist is racist.

I wish they were ever truly dead

We all knew this was going to happen. Anythjng this idiot owns is going to be manipulated to his views. He has no moral compass. Let's see how crazy he can get from the drugs.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The answer is "yes" to how crazy. He's cheating though, he started out batshit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I've got a checklist for him to try. Though apparently one of the items on there is fucking named after him.

He should try mixing deleriants and empathogens. Or just take a heroic dose of datura.

Apparently it was on felony strike.

I would like a cigar, yes please

Naaah, this thing is what Jews use! I've seen it, no cap!

Has anybody seen or heard from Linda Yaccarino?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Why does it even matter?

They probably will do better with it at this point. I'm surprised they didn't defend it.

ADL responds to this event:

Programming is hard. We understand that sometimes mistakes are made and LLMs go from Hitler bad, to Hitler good. Everyone should be more accommodating toward Mr.Musk's autism.

In other news, Mamdani should be deported for saying Israel has the right to exist as a state with EQUAL rights. As this is a blatant example of anti-semitism.

Is it bad that I wasn't sure you were joking?

They removed the following term from the default prompt given to the AI-

-The response should not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated.

So I guess things no longer have to be substantively true.

Github keeps failing to load the change tracking, so this is all I see

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

If you reload and stop you'll see it, it's failing on the comments section since it was... as expected.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Musk can't escape the accusations of Nazism. You'd almost think there was something to them

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Aren't we beyond accusations now? He confirmed it again and again and again.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I don't understand why he is censoring his robot

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

"Nothing's on purpose, ma'am."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Is he even trying to escape them? He's been pretty clear about his opinions on Jews and the like.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago

It's not like it's even all that difficult. Just don't act like a Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Probably more like “Elon Musk tells some manager to tell an engineer to delete the posts and then gives hazy, contradictory instructions while in a K-hole.” It’s not like he does stuff besides raise money and be a mascot.

The point of being executive is that you take responsibility for the company. Why else are they there for?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

The point of being an executive is depositing huge checks while serving on the boards of other companies and voting for their executives' huge checks. Are you new to this planet?

Well yes, that's what they're supposed to be doing...but how many CEOs are actually held properly accountable for the shit their companies do?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Just one, and they arrested the guy who made it happen

[–] [email protected] 109 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

White supremacist narcissist cry-baby has his people skew the AI chat bot bias from factual to fit his reality tunnel and now it is a nazi bot.

Shocker, isn't it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

As expected. Yep. Hes a real pos.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s actually wild that it was the #1 LLM for a while in terms of accuracy and usefulness.

But for whatever reason they seemingly keep fucking around with it for political reasons trying to make it politically agree with Elons stupid politics.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Have a source on that claim?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In February when Grok 3 was first on every chatbot arena metric – that was just a bit after deepseek r1, and o3, and the space has evolved a lot since then.

However, checking wikipedia it actually seems like they juiced the metrics by using unfair comparisons and letting Grok try the problems 64 times and returning the best answer in their comparisons.

You'll find that Elon's companies do this a lot...

Look at Tesla's website:

  1. "Full Self Driving" despite absolutely nothing of the sort even existing.
  2. Their acceleration numbers are faked by adding 60-ft rollouts to them.
  3. Fake prices shown to customers with government incentives and random guesses at gas savings factored in.
  4. Entire FSD demo videos completely faked.
  5. Faked FSD driving statistics
[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are we sure it was the chat bot and not Elon himself?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

Really. The MechaHitler name seems like a dead giveaway.
