Why it has two sets of horns? It looks like first one weren't intimidating enough so they added another set to wrap the "DEMON".

This is not the onion, but still a satire website. Onion satire is a bit more subtle IMO.

This and Tesla is a great illustration that despite those corporate fucks trying to switch is to techno feudalism, we have the power and it only will happen if we let them.

Please protest, boycott, write to representatives, support causes.

Don't forget protests on June 14 https://www.fiftyfifty.one/

I would imagine the first one to be true. There's no reason to inform everyone about it. I also predict Biden would be against it.

Yeah, frankly I think it wouldn't even be good to tell Biden about it, he would likely discourage from that move. At best he would pretend he did not know about it.

They are also pushing the identity politics, so we are distracted fighting among ourselves instead of uniting against them

Have you noticed that all social media companies are involved in AI?

The second use case (that looks even uglier) is to use it to simulate users on their platform and influence them via chat.

Not only to buy certain products but also to change political views. Imagine how much money one can make by doing that. No more bot farms needed.

The LLM is being presented as a tool that can automate many jobs.

I think the real reason why all social media companies are involved in it is something much worse. They want to use it to manipulate public opinion.

Those "accidents" with Grok shows that it is being designed in that direction, and later it will be under many accounts that look like regular people. This is also why Twitter now a subsidary under xAI.

I love the subtle detail of their mouths being orange from certain activity.

IMO tech bros' main goal for this technology is to use it to manipulate public opinion on social media. It is perfect for it and the "daydreaming" (bullshitting) is perfect.

Notice that all social media are involved in it, Twitter was "sold" to xAI, the recent incident with Grok about South African apartheid. The 10 year ban to regulate it by states etc.

They talk about it increasing productivity (and are hoping that it could be used for that too), but if people would know it is meant for disinformation, they would be even more against skipping copyright for it.

I think the primary goal of LLM is to use it on social media to influence public opinion.

Notice that all companies that have social media are heavily invested in it. Also the recent fiasco with Grok taking about South African apartheid without being asked shows that such functionality is being added.

I think talking about it to replace white collar jobs is a distraction. Maybe it can some, but the "daydreaming" (such a nice word for bullshit) I think makes the technology not very useful in that direction.

Also please continue to protest, march, boycott, write to representatives (especially if they are Republican) etc.

It might seem like it is pointless, as it doesn't have direct effect, as most people works think.

But those actions encourage others with power to do the right thing (government workers, politicians, judges, lawyers etc). It also discourages ones that cooperate with the administration. Companies often look for the easy way, don't let the easy way be easy. Paul, Weiss for example is receiving effects of capitulating so fast to trump.

Musk is hiding from media now (we should continue protests at Tesla's as well, he is still in the government, but got a bit smarter)
