People are concerningly naive if they think the LLM is in any way connected to the tweet boosting algorithms. Grok is just spitting out what people usually claim is being delisted by social media platforms.
The thing is, it's probably correct by coincidence, moreso that it's Elon personally delisting people criticising him and boosting whatever nazi shit he's into that week.
I don't know if it's actually true, but at one point Elon mentioned they were specifically training Grok to be anti-woke, so presumably that means their training corpus has some... weird... stuff in it that's more heavily weighted than it ought to be. In short, it's not unlikely that Elon and Grok "think" alike.
Fuck that. If they want to put "AI" crap in all their products, they should have to deal with the same stupid bullshit we have to deal with when interacting with it. They made the chatbot and put it there, they should have to live with being "SLAMMED" in the media when it says stupid shit.
it’s not really like elon has kept any company representatives on staff though. after a year or so of seeing “we reached out for comment and received an automatic reply containing a poop emoji” in every news article about twitter, i don’t blame anyone for not trying to contact the company directly. at this point, grok is probably the best we’ll get. if elon doesn’t like that, maybe he should hire a PR department
What about elon musk specifically being such a loser that even when he's president of the united states and can afford the best sunglasses he still can't make them cool?
Incorrect. I don’t think you’re aware that a meme is a word from theoretical science (memetics) where the meme is a unit of culture that can be transmitted from one mind to another.
An image capturing an individual’s statement is easily a meme. We’re all here talking about it and its shared perspectives and insights about the negative behavior of a large corporation.
By Dawknin’s original definition (cultural) memes are ideas, behaviors, styles, or practices that spread within a culture by imitation (Greek mimema, meaning “imitated”) and carry symbolic meaning. Some examples would be the “Keep Calm And Carry On” posters during WW2, the concept of the “American Dream” or toasting with glasses.
However in this context we’re talking about internet memes which is not synonymous with cultural memes. An internet meme is a picture or video that is funny, ironic, or relateable.
