That's this AI hype in a nutshell. You create a machine that is taught to agree with you and since it agrees with you, you think it's intelligent
- LLMentalist!
  
  TBF I feel this article undermines the achievement of the companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.
  Like yeah, a big manipulation is there but it's not that easy to implement
He genuinely can't stand any opinion that differs from his own. Must be hell working for him.
- There are rumors that there is a team of engineers at SpaceX whose sole job is to be a distraction for him.
  
  Are they the ones in charge of the explosions?
- By all accounts, it is.
Tomorrow on grok, "actually a three inch penis is considered very large, and woman love it!"
- McMurray!
  
  Musk is a piece of shit.
Wow super useful.. if I ever need to know What a crackhead mysoginist Nazi would think about a subject. I’ll use it
- I asked about immigration and LGBT people, but didn’t get the right wing answer I was expecting. Sounds more like Grok is a green liberal socialist.
  
  Hence the updates. This is something that Musk has been trying to overturn for some time now.
So MechaHitler is Musk's AI-sona.
Or... MechaHitler is Grok's Musk-sona.
... great.
It is literally just roleplaying as Elon Musk.
Oh god this is the stupidest possible timeline.
An LLM that mimics a battered wife.
- So there’s hope If it ever gets control of a weapon?
So here's a thought.
And let's leave aside the "too big to fail" trope for a while.
This guy is insanely rich. Even if you discount for inflated stock prices, debt etc.
How long can he abuse the very things making him rich as if they were his personal toys before it all collapses? Is there a tipping point?
- Tesla and to a lesser degree spaceX are where the money comes from.
  Everything else, Twitter, xAi, the boring company are all vanity projects.
  We're seeing the start of the tipping point. Tesla is being substantially harmed by his personal fuckery, but it's always been a meme stock, so the price is much higher than it should be. This means that when the crash finally comes it should be extremely messy.
  SpaceX is already being used to bail out xAi - if Tesla was healthy musk would rather use it's funds instead - and with musk fighting with Trump they could get some contracts wiped out. They've got enough actual products (star link) without competitors that they're probably safe for now.
- Forever. The biggest thing that make's you more money is having money and whereas someone with $1,000,000 can make themselves poor in a year if they are incompetent someone with hundreds of billions with Employees actually managing the day to day can lose a billion a year to stupidity and see the appreciation of the rest more than make up for it.
  
  So "too big to fail" basically. I accept your argument, but I'm not convinced because he does that narcissistic shit with all his companies, so "the appreciation of the rest" is not there imo.
  Sure, SpaceX gets government money/contracts, but I doubt that alone is enough to compensate for his messy "visions".
- It's a sort of dudes unshakeable faith in him being a visionary genius that keeps Tesla stock high. He would need to do something that upset that sort of dude to such a degree that they stopped giving him their money.
  He would need to start attacking videogames and announce he would prioritize hiring women over men because women were better at thier jobs.
Does Elon really think this is how people will like him? Read a chatbot that parrot him over and over.
- I think he really thinks 'enough' people won't notice/care
So it acts like an adult child with deeply anti-humanist traits? What could go wrong?
It is Musk's AI assistant, after all. Now in more than one way.
Why is anyone still talking about this abomination of a chatbot?
- Because it's funny?
- It's not generally a worse chatbot than others - that is, until Musk manages to ruin it completely.
