Grokbot wa first and enterprise and consumer focused

Grok is made by Elon Musk and hence fit for neither

He coded it himself? Oh I thought it was the XAI team who are all individual human beings with varied beliefs. Your black and white thinking is symptomatic of a mental issue.

Meta certainly do give the impression that they are burning through ridiculous amounts of cash with not much to show for it, and thats just from the outside.

If you scroll Instagram for a few minutes you'll see what they have been working on and that are also making a ridiculous amount of cash by selling and serving ads while burning some on side projects like that.

I had to laugh to the point of tears the other day when I saw my friend scrolling through Instagram and they encountered an "Ad Break". The app simply doesn't let you scroll through another post, story or reel until you sit there like a good boy and let the ad sit for 10 seconds or whatever.

How people put up with that kinda crap and continue to use these apps daily for hours on end is mind blowing to me.

Are you sure they were using "chat" to refer to ChatGPT? I have noticed many kids now use chat to refer to the collective audience/chat participants, and then gets used rhetorically even when no literal chatroom exists. A streamer says things like “Chat, what do you think?” or “Chat, are we cooked?” That usage has spread well beyond literal livestream chats, particularly among younger people.

The streamer is talking to the people in the stream’s chat room. Every streamer refers to all the people in the chat room as “Chat”. Kids these days use the same collective noun for everyone in their group chat.

Vtubers often have a specific name for the people watching the stream, based on their own back story + usually also some word play.

What is with all the usage of “normies” in this thread??? Are we collectively deciding we are better than others simply because we pay attention to different things? Seems really “my farts smell better than yours” childish to me.

'normies' is, and has always been, self-deprecating. We (people who use HN, et al) are 'nerds' and 'geeks' who understand tech beyond the surface layer and can immediately see the downside to using things like Muse. We're significantly in the minority, hence we're not 'normal'.

I cant help feeling you'd have to be a special kind of stupid at this point to start feeding even more of your life into Meta. This is clearly aimed at the over 50's - their primary market on facebook.

Billions of people use Facebook regularly. It's a tiny minority of us who would not use a useful product because of privacy concerns. I think you are wrong. It's not they who are a "special kind of stupid." It is us who are a "special kind of paranoid." Justifiably so, I would contend.

This is exactly right and has been proven over and over again. People do not care about sharing their info. Lots of people particularly around these parts pound the table that they should but they are simply fighting the market.

Of only they could apply this intel to their ad sales systems to stop CSAM ads being sold to make them money.

I once asked a high-ranking Meta trust & safety employee why they don't just block paid ads that include telegram links and the short version of the incredible mental gymnastics they went through was "identifying telegram links is hard".
