"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

In terms of how this is reported, at what point does this become streisanding by proxy? I think anything from the Melon deserves to be scrutinized and called out for missteps and mistakes. At this point, I personally don't mind if the media is overly critical about any of that because of his behavior. And what I'm reading about Grok is terrible and makes me glad I left Twitter after he bought it. At the same time, these "put X in a bikini" headlines must be drawing creeps towards Grok in droves. It's ideal marketing to get them interested. Maybe there isn't a way to shine the necessary light on this that doesn't also attract the moths. I just think in about ten years' time we will get a lot of "I started undressing people against their will on Grok and then got hooked" defenses in court rooms. And I wonder if there would've been a way to report on it without causing more harm at the same time.
