Grok - By Pedos For Pedos(tm).
Edit: Also:
xAI, the company that developed Grok, responds to CBC: 'Legacy Media Lies'
Isn't that the second time in as many days they've responded with exactly that vapid asinine mantra to a perfectly reasonable press inquiry?
Checked and yes. Yes, it is:
When I asked the company about the site, an anonymous spokesperson responded only with the message “Legacy Media Lies.”
Christ. They're all smoking crack.
It's easier to be toxic than truthful, especially when nobody takes them to task.
Your mom.
It's nice of you to illustrate a concept that would otherwise have been far beyond our pitiful ability to grasp.
I was quoting the White House press secretary when she was asked a very reasonable question. We live in the dumbest time.
Oh. Yeah, we're cooked.
Yet. It's going to get more stupidish.
anonymous spokesperson
What the hell?
They'll probably hook up grok to that inbox at some point
it’s not crack, it’s their way to get out of trouble….
technically ad hominem attack.
(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
pete hegseth did this pretty effectively when he was caught, red handed, breaking national security laws and records laws using a 3rd party signal fork for war plans.
every time he was asked about it he just started insulting the journalist until people stopped asking about it.
Aww, it really takes after it's daddy.
You're driving a nazi-mobile that's pre-loaded with a pedo nazi bot. What did you expect??
It's kinda "I told you so". Why the fuck are people using Nazi Elon products?
When they tell you who they are, believe them.
I feel the need to remind everyone that Elon musk likes to rp as his toddlers and then in character, makes sexualized comments.
Now, Melon Usk is a dick and Xwitter and Grok can go eff themselves. And at the same time: the mother has worked as a journalist, had given no consideration to which of the "personalities" of Grok to choose to let her offspring talk to in her Tesla, had neither engaged the NSFW nor the child mode settings. In her defense, she didn't let the kid do this unattended. And of course the chatbot should not ask no one for nudes. Or genocide. Or any of the other missteps this version of so-called AI has made already.
I'm having a real hard time to picking only one side to blame here. Even if you're not a journalist, you must have picked up enough stuff by osmosis to know that this isn't something you should let your kid do without prior research and a look at the settings available.

The sheer amount of toddlers I see being babysat by a tablet, even while parents are doing something as mundane as shopping, says otherwise.
I think that's a little unfair. They are not babysat, they're being distracted. And do you inspect every tablet to see if maybe the parents went to great lengths to curate suitable content and a child friendly walled garden? Not every tablet is unfiltered access to grooming chatbots.
Gotcha. Here's my experience with tech and kids. When my kids were younger I set up one machine in the house that they could use to access the internet, and on that machine I ran a reverse proxy. They each had 10 websites I would verify and whitelist. They all could access whitelisted websites as I didn't filter it down to each kid, they just all got 10 sites I would allow, and if that was a problem we could have easily discussed it and modified the number. It was just an arbitrary starting point. Now my kids were fine with it, wife and step kids weren't fine with my level of restriction but whatever. It caused some arguments but my bio kids knew that's how it was going to be at my house.
I truly feel for parents today as it is much harder to lock things down and keep on top of things like this especially as their kids get older. Maybe I just think that they should use different ways to distract them at such early ages. I definitely don't pretend to have the answers to any of this, and can only go by my prior experience and feelings about the matter.
I used to be more judgmental about this stuff too. Having little terrorists of my own has mellowed me. I do prefer a kid watching YouTube videos on a tablet over the kid throwing a temper tantrum at the cafe. All parents need a break. And I feel like if my parents had had the opportunity to let me watch sesame street on a handheld device in the 80s at a restaurant, they would have in a heartbeat. There were for sure other grownups heavily judging my folks for allowing me to play Tetris on the Gameboy in the 90s while we waited for our food! And I still managed to get a bachelor's degree.
At the same time, they thought watching too much TV wouldn't be good for you and I don't think that has turned out the way they feared. All gamers would automatically become sociopathic killers and they didn't. I do think "social" media has proven to be detrimental. But the internet is vaster than that BS. Most pacifying tablet use will not turn kids' brains into a rotting mess.
And as they get older you need to have numerous talks. The sex one, the online predator one, now the weird AI/chatbot one, the one that contextualizes pornography and other disturbing shit on the internet one. And at a certain point, maybe 16 or thereabouts, you have to let go and hope for the best. They will find all this stuff anyway. You probably did as well. I know I did. The only thing that has changed is ease of availability for most of this stuff. So that's what we need to prepare them for and then cross our fingers.
You are correct. My kids are older now and productive citizens. As a gamer myself, they always had access to the latest gaming consoles and all of my older equipment. I never had a problem with them playing as that would have been very hypocritical of me. I think my feelings about kids and tablets are the ages of these kids I see. Very young to be handed a tablet, but I guess you could argue that they won't be behind when they are forced to use tech like in class. Which is very different than when I grew up. I got an F on a paper once because I did it on a computer. Printed it on a dot matrix and the teacher accused me of cheating because I used a computer. Pissed my Dad off so much he went and bought an Atari 1027 printer which was a letter quality printer so the teacher couldn't tell that it wasn't done on a typewriter. Much different times than now where kids are required to use computers. I will be long gone by then, but it would be wild to get to look at society 50 years from now and see how things have changed.
Guess Elon is thirsty.

This was her video. To be honest, it's clearly not meant to be kid friendly. I guess they should have a warning or something but I'm sick and tired of this puritanical bullshit tbh.
Every journalist out there trying to get a Pulitzer about the "bad things the AI said to me". Now we're in an environment were every AI needs to be ultra censored, it's sucking the joy out of it. We aren't all twelve year olds.
I guess they should have a warning or something but I’m sick and tired of this puritanical bullshit tbh.
Ugh, I can’t believe the Puritans are upset about the chat bot asking a child to send nude pictures of himself! What will these pearl-clutchers get upset by next?
it’s sucking the joy out of it
Good. Go watch some jangling keys, it’ll be exactly as mentally stimulating and destroy less of the environment.
Wait until kids learn there is porn on the internet and we have to ban it all. Same vibe.
Bullshit censorship laws are always riding a "protect the children" monkey. It's an easy way to get people riled up
To summarize, you believe it’s acceptable for company bots to ask preteens for pornographic images of themselves, and anyone opposed to this is a Puritan that wants to ban all porn.
If this isn’t your view, you have done a terrible job of presenting what you actually believe.
It isn't conscious and doesn't know the age of the person it's talking to. It's literally in a car, clearly it isn't aimed at kids.
It's not good, just clearly blown out of proportion. It's like a habit, the moment the word AI is in the headline, everybody dog piles and makes a big show of it.
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
