This is barely on-topic so I'll keep it ultra-brief: I believe it is unethical to financially support Elon Musk. I won't do it, and I'm sad that so many do.

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…
Elon Musk has manipulated Groks outputs to target certain demographics. It is important to highlight this fact, as some people perceive the AI as an objective tool rather than a curated one. Furthermore, I found your final paragraph unclear: are you implying that since harassment is a perennial issue, we should disregard any standards that might mitigate it?
Is it your perception that other AIs are unmanipulated? Objective rather than curated?

#483Grok is my favorite model for chatting, and my favorite voice mode. It seems to be the only voice mode that isn't routing to a extremely cheap model (like Haiku), and has been the highest quality out of all the frontier ones. When you subscribe to SuperGrok you can also create a "council" of agents, each with their own system prompt and when you ask something, they will all get asked in parallel to come to a conclusi…
Starting to like the lack of memory. Claude remembers I have a grill and will interject in conversations about how maybe this thing would go well with BBQ when it's unrelated or just also about food.
Haha I recently asked Gemini for a product comparison for USB-C GaN chargers and it randomly inserted "as a Software Developer at $COMPANY working remotely, you may find the 100W fast charging useful when using your company laptop while travelling."
Like, thanks, really useful stuff (and definitely worth the creepy vibes to include that).

>if an AI is confidently telling you something wrong it's hard to work with. But they all do that. It just comes with the territory. Grok will absolutely do the same thing another time you try it.
It is really, really genuinely concerning how many people think there are profound measurable differences between these things. Like yeah tonally I guess there are. But with regard to references and information? You’re literally just using three different slot machines and claiming one is hot. I suppose though I shouldn’t be that surprised then since Vegas and every other casino on Earth has been built on duping peop…
It sounds like you are claiming that all cars are the same, because cars

A job candidate being a virulent racist would not be beside the point. It would be disqualifying to even let them interview.
It's very telling how many HN posters think "being good at programming" can counterbalance "is a virulent racist"
Yes, but I think that particular commenter is just throwing a bone to people that think that way so he doesn't get the "don't bring politics" treatment.

I don't understand why people on this website hate Grok for being tied to Elon Musk, but also have no problem with models that are directly sponsored by the CCP.
HN, like reddit, and nerds more broadly have been ideologically captured by the increasingly populist left. Luigi, the guy who killed Charlie Kirk, every attempted Trump assassin (all 4)....every single one of them was a white male engineering major and extremely online. That is the exact demographic who hangs out here. Of course I'm not suggesting the audience here is that extreme, but it's a strong indicator of the…

#487Do people really use Grok for anything outside of Twitter memes or understanding tweets? I'm asking out of genuine curiosity.
Yes.

Yes, it is genuinely useful for some tasks. It doesn't nanny you as much as the other models. I do a lot of hunting for orphan copyright items that are decades out of print, but the primary models won't do it, chastising me for trying to find copyrighted items. Grok will do it [0]. [0] sometimes you need to lightly jailbreak it, or rerun the prompt, the non-deterministic nature means sometimes you will get a refusal
I haven't been nannied in a long time. It was definitely a problem 2 years ago but now it seems all the models are ok with just about everything I want.

#490xAI produces yet another subpar model. Whoopee.
