Isn't it exhausting to view everything an ideological lens instead of reviewing technical achievements on their merits?
Grok can take clothes off from any picture of a woman. Therefore, I will never use Grok. I don't know how anyone feels comfortable using this product.
A wrench can be used to kill people. Therefore, I will never use a wrench. I don't know how anyone feels comfortable using a wrench.
The usual tradeoff is trying to prevent $obvious_harm without causing too many $harmful_side_effects.
What are the harmful side effects of preventing nudification attacks?
Grok has become my go to search engine lately. I think it’s the only AI with access to x posts and beyond that it seems to generally be more “searchy” than other LLM’s.

> but I don’t think language models being structurally incapable of offending your favorite race/ethnicity/caste should be an objective of AI labs. The opposite should not be an objective either, and Elon has been very openly manipulating what grok says.
Good point. But no one is saying "use grok". Grok sucks. Not only because it's seemingly made only to serve the goal of ethnically cleansing non-whites or whatever, but also because it's just not even close to being as useful as other models. In human terms, grok is the job candidate who's simply not qualified. That candidate being a virulent racist is beside the material point. Here's the thing though, the point of…

So interestingly, I know of at least one application in a charity that deals with trafficking where grok was happy to do one-shot classification tasks where all other models refused to cooperate. I think there's a surprising number of actually useful applications in this sort of grey area for a slightly-less guardrailed, near-frontier model (also the grok-fast models are cheap!).
Gemini especially has a habit of blocking my pretty mundane requests, claiming they’re attempts to jailbreak or create malicious code. Grok also does quite well at code reviews in my experience because it’s not so aggressively ”aligned”.
So, we have: - claude for corps and gov - codex for devs - grok for what, roleplay, racism? Those are the two things I've ever heard grok associated with around me.
I know it’s really important to write and vocalize one’s alignment with the values of the day, but I don’t think language models being structurally incapable of offending your favorite race/ethnicity/caste should be an objective of AI labs. Language models are just systems and I’m not sure why we think users are not responsible for how they use their outputs. For the same reasons, I don’t dismiss the utility pens as…

In response to Grok saying that the "woke mind virus is often exaggerated" the prompt was tweaked so that Grok now says "The woke mind virus 'poses significant risks'"
If you truly believed in what your comment states then you would oppose this sort of editorializing. But somehow I doubt this is a sincere argument.

MechaHitler was the result of a single line prompt change that was publicly available on Github, they reverted it pretty quickly. Much like the GPT Gremlin stuff the change was relatively innocuous system prompt but had larger implications. Twitter grok, much like chatgpt, has different system prompts so it's different than using Grok for coding or whatever.
Let me guess. You also believe grok's recent episode, where it started inserting "white genocide" into the responses of totally unrelated queries, was caused by a rogue employee totally not doing it at Elon's behest. Despite the fact that Elon is always going on about "white genocide". At this point you'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind to deny he's manipulating the LLM's output for propagandistic purposes.
It's either that or complicit.

I never heard about the horse related thing, that’s interesting, thanks. A long history? Another search tells me that apart from the mentioned accusation, there is only one WSJ article alleging sexual conduct with SpaceX employees. You asked why I take Musk‘s side in these discussions; it’s because I don’t think he’s a pedophile. Nothing I‘ve seen seemed convincing to me, and the arguments made online often were so l…
Yeah I don’t think he’s a pedophile either.. but I do think he’s okay with consorting with a known one because it would provide him access to young women. His history of dating and impregnating young women is well known and while not illegal is pretty gross imo. The flight attendant is only one of many accusations at SpaceX… https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64641805/
That link seems to report on the same single WSJ article that mostly alleges workplace power-balance issues, referencing unnamed women, none of whom have come forward to publicly accuse Musk of misconduct. It‘s also fairly thin imo.
Maybe Musk‘s conduct is more gross than I believe, but at this time I‘ll not jump to conclusions.
