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.

grok is also running off generators in south memphis, polluting the air for the humans that live near elon’s penis computer.

elon is also using the clean drinking water of the memphis sand aquifer to cool his penis computer rather than using grey water from the plant that he promised to build but has yet to break ground on.

please do not use grok. it is literally poisoning the people of memphis.

Working on it means he forwarded a screenshot to somebody who works for him with a bunch of ???

Meanwhile, depending on office politics, that guy will unfortunately have to spend the next 3 months figuring out how to alter the facts or just suppress data made by the AI that the boss doesn't like.

I feel like shithead musk always says like "working on it" but i would be surprised if he ever does any meaningful work.

He's just such a disgrace. Like a fractal shit. No matter what part of him and his life you look at, no matter how zoomed in or out, it's just shit. Fuck that guy.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 10 points 3 hours ago

Last time he worked on anything it produced the cybertruck.

they can't even get their stupid toys they made to play along.

That's what I love about LLMs. They aren't intelligent. They're just really good at recognizing patterns. That's why objective facts are always presented correctly. Most of the pattern points at the truth. To avoid this, they will have to add specific prompts to lie about this exact scenario. The next similar fact, they'll have to manually code around that one too. LLMs are very good at finding the overwhelming truth.

I asked ChatGPT to describe the abandoned railway line between Åkersberga and Rimbo, it responded with a list of stations and descriptions and explained the lack of photos and limited information as due to the stations being small and only open for a short while.

My explanation is that there has never been a railway line between Åkersberga and Rimbo directly, and that ChatGPT was just lying.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

it's not lying, because it doesn't know truth. it just knows that text like that is statistically likely to be followed by text like this. any assumptions made by the prompt (e.g. there is an old railway line) are just taken at face value.

also, since there has indeed been a railway connection between them, just not direct, that may have been part of the assumption.

Here's me looking at the hallucinated discography of a band that never existed and nodding along.

[–] Honytawk 1 points 6 minutes ago* (last edited 6 minutes ago)

There are no objective facts about a band that never existed, that is the point.

Ask them about things that do have enough overwhelming information, and you will see it will be much more correct.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe they're just way underground and you've never heard of them

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I made the band up to see if LLMbeciles could spot that this is not a real band.

Feel free to look up the band 凤凰血, though, and tell me how "underground" it is.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (2 children)

Does this count?

Also, by nature of being underground they would be difficult to look up. Some bands have no media presence, not even a Bandcamp or a SoundCloud.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Nope.

You can tell because they're not even in the same writing system. Future tip there.

Why would that matter? Band names are frequently translated and transliterated.

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Are you having this argument on the principle of defending the undergrounded-ness of bands, or do you actually believe LLMs always get the facts straight?

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Eh, more of an exercise in scientific skepticism. It's, possible that an obscure band with that name was mentioned deep in some training data that's not going to come up in a search. LLMs certainly hallucinate, but not always.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 hours ago

An obscure band with that name that has a discography that nobody's ever heard of anywhere, complete with band member names, track titles, etc?

Yeah, pull the other one, Sparky. It plays "Jingle Bells".

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I use ChatGPT once a day or so. Yeah, it's damned good at simple facts, more than lemmy will ever admit. Yeah, it'll easily make shit up if there's no answer to be had.

We should have started teaching tech literacy and objective analysis 20-years ago. FFS, by 2000 I had figured out that, "If it sounds like bullshit, it likely is. Look more."

Also, after that post, I'm surprised this site hasn't taken you out back and done an ol' Yeller on ya. :)

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I was told we weren't allowed to do that anymore

[–] moody@lemmings.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Of course you were told that.

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 43 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If Grok is recalling historical facts, then these historical facts are objectively false.

[–] Hellinabucket@lemmy.world 29 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Not historical facts, legacy facts.

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

Ah, discarded facts. Got it.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 32 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That weird. I'm absolutely positive Grok's answer matches law enforcement statistics, as well.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 8 hours ago

yeah, but the pigs don't care about right-wing violence, because it's them under the white masks.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 15 points 8 hours ago

Democrats weren't assassinating people at the No Kings protests.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 hours ago

I genuinely cannot understand why folks are still using that platform.

[–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

So then Hillary won the election?

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Always love those Ultron moments Grok has lmfao
