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.

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.

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

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 7 points 1 week ago (8 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.

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 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I expected it to talk about the actual railway, not invent a fantasy line

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 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] moody@lemmings.world 3 points 1 week ago

Of course you were told that.

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 15 points 1 week ago

Last time he worked on anything it produced the cybertruck.

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.

[–] ghen@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If Memphis cares about their citizens they can shut it downtoday. The world isn't going to stop using it if it's available for free and convenient, that's just laughable.

Parroting the media it was trained on? Who's going to tell him how LLMs work??

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's trained on "Legacy media", filled with things like data and facts. NEW media is based on thoughts, feelings, anti-wokeness, and flipping around if "Pedo Trump and Epstein were besties" or if "Daddy Trump I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry".

Who needs to import a dictionary of words with meanings, when we got feelings.

They even both end in S!

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Hellinabucket@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not historical facts, legacy facts.

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Ah, discarded facts. Got it.

🤣, and I do not use this emoji lightly. See, Elon - your memes are cringe, so you should focus on jokes like these instead. Veritable kneeslappers. Suggesting you're actually doing something personally? Hah, hilarious.

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah just yelling at overworked engineers to make the propaganda more consistent who are scared of getting their visas revoked. That's "working on it" to losers like musk

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

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

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

[–] nucleative@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] BoycottPro@lemm.ee 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Boycotting Twitter and all of Musk's companies is now more urgent than ever. Grok is going to be even more rigged to spew out hateful nonsense.

[–] JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel it always has been rigged, it's just that the rigging has always been so incompetent

He's right, though. It is false. Left wing violence is not on the rise.
