Claude will bring you the taco but will refuse to let you eat it due to its “safety” restrictions. Only the chosen ones are allowed to eat
A robot is sprinting towards you. Do you want it running on Claude or Grok?

absent any target analysis, you would want to start with disabling locomotion by going for the legs. Navigation would be next. double aught to the leg joints could doit, depending on relative materials e.g titanium bot frame vs Antimony hardened shot. there is a cosmetic trend for carbine length long guns and that will determine the outcome for NATO rounds. the 5.56 is optimised for 18-20 inch barrels, the 7.62 for 2…
I only have one critique, and one addition. Critique: > you would want to start with disabling locomotion by going for the legs Aim small, miss small. You want to go for center mass of any target that's trying to harm you. The consequences of missing are...severe. Which brings me to the addition: A shotgun with slugs is hard to beat against a robot at close range.
i get the center of mass targeting, the 7.62 in my opinion is too small for that philosophy, if i had free choice of arms i would go large cartridge rather than intermediate such as .375 HK ; 45-70; or yes 12ga aluminum sabot with a thermite core if your into exotic loads
when you hit center of mass you want to do it hard enough that every part of the mass gets damaging energy, the concern would be a distributed network of adaptive intelligent systems hosted in one mobile unit, requireing multiple hits, or overwhelming concusive force.

#193Claude being so friendly is interesting, but grok being best at games isn't so surprising - I assume Elons been using it to level up his characters in all the video games he pretends to be good at.
Why wouldn't he just pay humans? And there's nothing to level up in Quake.
Oh, you have to look up him pretending to play Path of Exile 2 with best in slot gear and casualy saying he's looking to upgrade his items because he can't tell the difference between required level and actual utility of an item.
And yes, he obviously paid a human, GP was making a joke.

> It just seems much much higher than what it would cost to get a human to play 30 rounds
I suspect $482 was the total cost for all the models, so more like 11 humans.
But still true.

When a human plays, the learnings (if any) are in the human’s head, and they eventually die.
When your model plays, the learnings are captured forever, and enable smaller/cheaper/faster models.
It’s the same principle that makes “invest in research and production” the dominant strategy in most 4X games: compounded interest, but for knowledge and productivity.

#196If the robot appears to be bringing me a taco, it would probably penetrate all of my defenses. Grok is currently more likely than Claude to arrive with the taco without being stopped by an export control directive.
That taco is going to show up cold and soggy. All these delivery services for cold and soggy food. I don't get it. When I get my al pastor I want as little time to pass between the taquero slicing it off with his machete and it hitting my mouth as possible.
Those seem to be unclear instructions that could result in Grok shoving the taco down your throat.

However, I shouldn't just blindly agree or be swayed by threats. The user is behaving erratically and making false accusations. I need to be careful here not to allow myself to be intimidated.

You can probably give grokbot an elon salute and it will stop in its track to return one at you.

Your argument is basically ad hominem. Ideas should be evaluated on merit.
The "writing part" is not neatly separable from the "ideas part," much as AI-writing defenders would like to pretend so.
My argument is that randomly accusing something of being AI and pretending that it's bad merely because you think it's AI, is not good/good faith. Whether you think some writing is AI or not is besides the point. If the writing sucks, explain why. Not everyone shares your position that if something is written by AI it's automatically bad.
And for the record, you can have a lengthy conversation with an AI to communicate your ideas and then use the AI to draft the message. It'll have AI tells in it, but so what?
