    They’re blaming it on some poor low level nobody that they may or may not have attached to a name. It’s obvious bullshit to anybody but a Musk-pilled idiot.

    It was 100% Elmo

    Whoever did it had an investor’s level knowledge of what AI is and what it can do. He doesn’t know that at that level it will just always do what it says. He thinks there’s something even deeper than what he was messing with, some mystical “algorithm” that uses what he edited as a guide.

    There’s not, that was the base code of what is essentially a chatbot.

      I have a real chafe on my buzz about the (albeit disparaging) shortening of shit4brains name to a beloved Sesame Street character.

      I feel like Elmo gave us, and in turn deserves - much better.

        Same! I prefer Me-lon or Meelon. Or fElon or Muskrat (nothing against actual muskrats of course) or Space Karen…

    Even if you give Elmo the benefit of the doubt, whoever did it had accurate ideas about how to serve his boss.

    Culture comes from the top. Executives get to keep everything except the responsibility.

      Elon edited gork (twitter AI bot) at 3 am to make it say white Africans are fleeing genocide. But instead what happened is the AI bot comments on any posts (regardless of topic) basically saying white Africans are not being racial targeted or suffering from genocide. And specifically saying there is no evidence of genocide. Because there isn’t any.

        To be clear, the fact that there’s no evidence has nothing to do with Grok saying there’s no evidence. It just determined that’s a likely thing for a human to say.

          Nah, Gork is the Simpsons version. Like “Bort” novelty license plates.

        Big Balls and the Geek Squad strike again? But yeah sounds more like something musk himself would do.

        Is grok part of his xAI nonsense, or is it just a regular old-school bot?

        EDIT next post in the feed just answered my question.

    That first Elon panel is fucking hysterical. That’s a mfw meme format right there on it’s own
