And rightfully so. Unfortunately, they are perfectly fine with a marxist-leninist AI, and that's troubling.
Can you name a "Marxist-Leninist AI" that's made by a real AI lab (i.e. no finetunes of open models made by someone on the internet)? I'm just trying to understand what the other side's equivalent of MechaHitler is here.

#152It's crazy that I'd literally trust a Chinese AI company with my data over anything Musk is involved with. Like, even if you don't care about (or even like) his politics and can look past how unlikable he comes off as, the damage he's done to his own reputation in this domain just makes using his products like this a no-go. He's literally so rich that he can get caught personally looking through chat sessions and it…

> It's crazy that I'd literally trust a Chinese AI company with my data It's crazy how much Chinese = bad the media or US companies have washed into you. Why lump it together? Like any place and any company there are good and bad 1s. It's not the Wild West over there...
It's not a matter of whether or not you can trust these governments at all; it just comes down to which government do your self-interests align with best. It's not some grand political statement to acknowledge that my interests don't align well with the interests of the Chinese government. It's just an obvious fact.

So have you looked at what's happened in the US over the past 10 years? The US has much further to fall, but it's falling very, very quickly and if there's ever another Democratic president they're going to have to rebuild a lot of the government from scratch.
I dunno. I'm just glad Congress can barely pass any legislation. What an Executive Order does, another Executive Order can just as easily undo.

> He's literally so rich that he can get caught personally looking through chat sessions and it wouldn't slow him down a bit. Looking through chat histories is boring, mundane stuff. He's richer than that, think bigger. I think he could kill a random person in front of thousands, and by the next day we'd see articles arguing why the random person actually deserved it and why it's not that bad. Whatever consequences w…
> He's richer than that, think bigger. that's the hilarious paradox at the center of his antics. Musk is infamously petty and insecure. We're talking about the guy who tweaked Grok's system prompt to flatter him and paid someone to boost his fucking Diablo character for clout. I wouldn't put "looking through chat histories" past him for one second.

Not the person you are responding to, but the fact that Grok is being used to generate a ton of CSAM and pornographic deepfakes isn't great!
(I work on Grok) This isn't allowed. CSAM / deepfakes are against our acceptable use policy.

#159Anyone else find it weird how within 2 months of Fable releasing all the major labs suddenly had Fable-level models? Trying to think of explanations: 1) AI researchers talk and change companies often, so techniques circulate. This feels implausible because training and shipping a new model ought to take longer than 2 months? 2) Distillation - also implausible for the reason above. 3) Benchmark hacking. AI companies h…
But I think we’re discovering that intelligence is about universality, not magnitude. This is analogous to how building a universal Turing machine wasn’t merely a matter of building a calculator that could multiply higher numbers. The difference is that with calculators we consciously theorized about what universal computation would require, then we built one as a step change. Despite it having low memory and slow speeds, the first one built was as theoretically universal as any computer we have today, in terms of the surface of computations it can perform.
With intelligence, it’s turned out to be less discontinuous, which I believe has convinced people that intelligence is a never ending exponential rather than an S curve approaching a horizontal asymptote. I suspect the LLMs we have today are the same kind of thing we will have in 5-10 years, but in 5-10 years we’ll consider them to be fully universal. At that point we’ll still have improvements in tokens per second and volume of context window, but not in capability per token.

It doesn't seem like Grok is being astroturfed, if anything the opposite. There are two Chinese models on the front page while this is on the second page as of writing. And there would always be so many comments personally attacking Musk whenever his company releases something. I think this is being CCP bot farmed.
