  • The LLM is being presented as a tool that can automate many jobs.

    I think the real reason why all social media companies are involved in it is something much worse. They want to use it to manipulate public opinion.

    Those “accidents” with Grok shows that it is being designed in that direction, and later it will be under many accounts that look like regular people. This is also why Twitter now a subsidary under xAI.



  • IMO tech bros’ main goal for this technology is to use it to manipulate public opinion on social media. It is perfect for it and the “daydreaming” (bullshitting) is perfect.

    Notice that all social media are involved in it, Twitter was “sold” to xAI, the recent incident with Grok about South African apartheid. The 10 year ban to regulate it by states etc.

    They talk about it increasing productivity (and are hoping that it could be used for that too), but if people would know it is meant for disinformation, they would be even more against skipping copyright for it.

    Also please continue to protest, march, boycott, write to representatives (especially if they are Republican) etc.

    It might seem like it is pointless, as it doesn’t have direct effect, as most people works think.

    But those actions encourage others with power to do the right thing (government workers, politicians, judges, lawyers etc). It also discourages ones that cooperate with the administration. Companies often look for the easy way, don’t let the easy way be easy. Paul, Weiss for example is receiving effects of capitulating so fast to trump.

    Musk is hiding from media now (we should continue protests at Tesla’s as well, he is still in the government, but got a bit smarter)
