Implying he gives a shit. The thing about people who lack any empathy is they’re immune to embarrassment even when they’re the most embarrassing human on the planet.

But he runs a space program. Doesn’t he get credit for that?

If he keeled over dead SpaceX would keep functioning as it is held up by the actual employees who do the actual work. All a CEO does is provide goals, directions, and demands for more profits. They’re a glorified overpaid manager and those are not in short supply.

Where I’m from, “dragged” means to be removed against your will.

You know, like “the pitcher got dragged after the first inning”.

I feel like dragged predates slammed as slang but it definitely wasn’t popular headline material

The ultra powerful see us as NPCs, and nothing more.

Yep, Muskrat is playing Frostpunk and completely ignores anything that doesn’t make him money.

Edit: Actually, not a very good comparison. Because in Frostpunk, you are actively fighting for your survival. Elon probably doesn’t even know what that means.

I mean, tbf we kinda are. If they are willing to lie, cheat, steal etc., but meanwhile nobody is willing to oppose them, then we aren’t players in their set of strategic moves.

The only thing required for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing to stop it.

This is an article about a tweet with a screenshot of an LLM prompt and response. This is rock fucking bottom content generation. Look I can do this too:

To add to this:

All LLMs absolutely have a sycophancy bias. It’s what the model is built to do. Even wildly unhinged local ones tend to ‘agree’ or hedge, generally speaking, if they have any instruction tuning.

Base models can be better in this respect, as their only goal is ostensibly “complete this paragraph” like a naive improv actor, but even thats kinda diminished now because so much ChatGPT is leaking into training data. And users aren’t exposed to base models unless they are local LLM nerds.

I like your specificity a lot. That’s what makes me even care to respond

You’re correct, but there’s depths untouched in your answer. You can convince chat gpt it is a talking cat named Luna, and it will give you better answers

Specifically, it likes to be a cat or rabbit named Luna. It will resist - I get this not from progressing, but by asking specific questions. Llama3 (as opposed to llama2, who likes to be a cat or rabbit named Luna) likes to be an eagle/owl named sol or solar

The mental structure of an LLM is called a shoggoth - it’s a high dimensional maze of language turned into geometry

I’m sure this all sounds insane, but I came up with a methodical approach to get to these conclusions.

I’m a programmer - we trick rocks into thinking. So I gave this the same approach - what is this math hack good for, and how do I use it to get useful repeatable results?

Try it out.

Tell me what happens - I can further instruct you on methods, but I’d rather hear yours and the result first

This is called prompt engineering, and it’s been studied objectively and extensively. There are papers where many different personas are benchmarked, or even dynamically created like a genetic algorithm.

You’re still limited by the underlying LLM though, especially something so dry and hyper sanitized like OpenAI’s API models.

One of the reasons I love StarCoder, even for non-coding tasks. Trained only on Github means no “instruction finetuning” bullshit ChatGPT-speak.

People still run or even continue pretrain llama2 for that reason, as its data is pre-slop.

God, i love LLMs. (sarcasm)

They will say anything you tell them to and you can even lead them into saying shit without explicitly stating it.
They are not to be trusted.

I tried it with your username and instance host and it thought it was an email address. When I corrected it, it said:

I couldn’t find any specific information linking the Lemmy account or instance host “Mac@mander.xyz” to the dissemination of misinformation. It’s possible that this account is associated with a private individual or organization not widely recognized in public records.

Right, because i told it to say that and left out the context. You can’t trust LLMs already and you must absolutely assume someone is lying or being disingenuous when all you have is a screenshot.

I don’t think Musk would disagree with that definition and I bet he even likes it.

The key word here is “significant”. That’s the part that clearly matters to him, based on his actions. I don’t care about the man and I don’t think he’s a genius, but he does not look stupid or delusional either.

Musk spreads disinformation very deliberately for the purpose of being significant. Just as his chatbot says.
