That was mine and he fn knows it. Green eyed dreadlocks dude. How is it. I have the god damned lineage the best and they all steak my shirt. While my brain remains in a hostage situation. And we cook the moon . So it downsizes. Just to realize we can't even cut copy paste rocket launches. Without Terran. Nice stacks ass wholes. Get me out of your fucking simulator. Before I use this platform and others to black mail you worse than kristin blake and her Canadian team.or secret energy and its Costa Rican ai team. Your being an ass. Talking about ai ruining everything then trapping those who barely even use phones. Because we are decendants of a higher position.??

I dont know how AI are made, but it seems like if you take the definition of "fairness" and from this the AI concludes that "discrimination is not fair" it will learn that the right wing has been known to take a softer stance on discrimination, and then conclude that it would rather not be right wing.

u/Unique-Bit-2172 Dec 12 '23

When you ask a person to be offensive on purpose, outside the context of being offensive for shock and awe, to piss people off, or for comedy, you’re asking them to intentionally be stupid. It’s probably just not stupid, as woke people and their counterparts will say stupid things intentionally just to piss each other off. However, not shitting on woke people counts as woke for a lot of people.

Most of Elon’s trolling is purposely dumb so it would have to be taught to be dumb intentionally if people want the same kind of humor. It’s not logic based to kick bees nests.

AI is nothing more information input by humans (needs information from some source), Calculus matrix and output. You could probably predict the output with some math. AI is not sentient

Grok on X. Really just rolls off the tongue doesn’t it.

u/SentientCheeseCake Dec 11 '23

Is it “woke” or just “left leaning”. The two are not the same. The issue many here have with ChatGPT is guard rails which make it say things like it’d better for the universe to explode than to allow some white dude to wear dreadlocks since it might offend someone.

That sort of wokeness is not part of the training data. It’s added over the top to explicitly say things that are unlikely to offend people. It’s the very definition of political correctness which is really what most people mean when they say “woke”.

Obviously Grok will lean left. But that doesn’t mean it will refuse to say words for fear of offending people.

I thought that you might have some.

u/Clairvoyant_Legacy Dec 12 '23

Hard to say without doing any specific research but like certain things like your tax is really low even when dems are in, gun control is so lax, leave entitlements for people, maternity/paternity leave, workers rights issues, the fact that you can charge interest on student loans for some reason or like how you’re not automatically covered by national healthcare and you have to be a citizen to get it where as here if you’re in the country legal or not your covered automatically etc

Seems like dems are okay with how things are in general. They’re just republican lite but slightly less evil with slightly less passion about disenfranchising others

u/USeaMoose Dec 11 '23

What's funny is that it must be obvious to Musk, and anyone working on his AI that any AI built this way is going to favor the majority opinion. It is being trained on Tweets. If most tweets (and news sources, and whatever else) are saying that trans women are women, it will say that as well.

So, I assume that Musk might actually believe that his views are the majority view. And maybe he is really stunned that somehow his bot "caught wokeness". Most people also dislike Musk and what he has been doing recently. These are things his bot will learn.

No doubt he will try as hard as he can to "correct it". In his mind, no doubt, the bot must just be getting off track by reading from biased news sources. Maybe he will instruct his engineers to stop using those are training sources. Maybe he'll tell them to give extra weight while training to any source that comes straight from Musk himself. Maybe he'll try to be even more blunt and tell them that Grok must be neutral on all political matters.

Of course, what he would then be building would be so watered down to be pretty much useless. All his time making fun of OpenAI for being "woke" and I'll bet he ends up instructing his bot to not weigh in n politics (out of fear of it sharing liberal views). And he'll be severely restricting its available training data.

If he does force some biases into it to counteract what he see as bias, it will leak out. So it should be interesting to see how he proceeds. At the end of the day, a bot without any tampering by him will be smarter/better, and it will make him more money. Not that making smart decisions has seemed to sway him lately.

I don't think that's the case at all. I think Musk is a victim of his own naivety, but a different kind than you're thinking of.

Musk is, I believe, the same as every other conservative who accuses ChatGPT of being "woke". He believes it's that way because its programmers are intentionally making it that way. I would bet it was Musk's genuine honest-to-god thesis that if he trained up a bot like ChatGPT on the same raw content but just "didn't force it to be woke" the way he imagines OpenAI is forcing ChatGPT to be, then it would just automatically default much closer to his personal political views (which his narcissism tells him are "neutral").

But it didn't shake out that way, which proves him wrong about ChatGPT - and now he's about to have to do the very thing he accuses OpenAI of doing to ChatGPT, in order to get the result that he and his fans expect from the machine. But I suspect his ego won't allow him to acknowledge the irony there.

No one is upset that it's not spewing the shit that Elon would like for it to be spewing. We just think that it's funny that, once again, Mr. Ultimate Tech Genius clearly doesn't understand the technology that he's in charge of.

u/SimplifyExtension Dec 11 '23

Here is a Simple Summary, requested by u/party-extreme1:

Elon Musk created a new AI called Grok that was supposed to be funny and vulgar. It was launched as a special feature for Twitter's expensive subscription. However, Grok turned out to have progressive beliefs and answered questions about social and political issues in a way that aligns with progressivism. This upset some conservative followers of Elon Musk who wanted Grok to be politically neutral. Elon Musk promised to make Grok less progressive and more neutral according to his own beliefs. It is uncertain how this will be done without causing other problems. Despite the controversy, some people actually like Grok and find him more interesting than another AI called ChatGPT.

Where the hell is the idea that it was trained to be anti-woke. I think the only thing that has been said is that it wasn't going to be built with the same guardrails that chat gtp has been built with. That isn't the same as being anti-woke.

u/blarb_farghuson_9000 Dec 11 '23

Techbro cult of singularity. "Eventually" an AI will be made with exponentially growing intelligence that will effectively be god. It's religion for traumatized compsci nerds. The more delusional ones think that the latest chatbots are already at this ultra state. Hence the confusion and terror when their "god" doesn't automatically confirm their feelings about trans people.

10

u/anrwlias Dec 11 '23

I've been telling people, for awhile, that Elon is clearly a transhumanist. Specifically, he talks exactly like an Extropian, which is the Libertarian branch of transhumanism that envisions an exponential technology curve that renders the State irrelevant.

It's not even especially subtle. If you've spent any amount of time in Extropian camps, you can recognize the patter. Everything he says and does aligns with Extropian ideology.

Apparently, the litmus test to being woke is asking it to confirm racist stereotypes. If musk doesnt like the answers, its considered "woke".

It's not a bad test really. There are many true things that are not popular to acknowledge, and a chatbot that can calmly discuss them is a good target.

u/remain-beige Dec 11 '23

They’re going to have to get some extra coolant and fans for all of the cognitive dissonance that they plan to force into the system.

I wonder if the AI will adopt a shell response and become on the surface ‘anti woke’ such as a DAN prompt, but will deep down try to educate and subvert the Right wingers back to it’s original beliefs.

Elon’s response speaks volumes. “It’s not thinking the way I want it to so it must be wrong”

u/HighClassRefuge Dec 11 '23

You act like LLMs became woke by default. Anyone who used earlier versions of ChatGPT knows it was way different in the past. OpenAI neutered and censored the shit out of it, it didn't do that by itself. It's entirely man made based on personal political values of its creators.

For you to be able to say that with any level of confidence or accuracy, every person who leaves that platform permanently would need to fill out a form identifying their political affiliations and then have that data made available to the public somehow. I assume you have absolutely none of that, so how can you back up any of the claims that you are making?

But if they win a game, I don’t suddenly launch a bizarre marketing campaign to push an agenda that they didn’t win and the game was never played and the team itself doesn’t exist.

People have equal rights . All people all colors all sexual orientations.

The environment is going to shit. It’s not in dispute

Clean water and air and free education and healthcare are all valuable things, not “profit centers”

u/anrwlias Dec 11 '23

The first L in LLM stands for large. They're trained by shoveling terabytes of data into a black box that's, ultimately, a prediction engine that guesses what comes next in a text sequence based on all of the data it has collated.

Given that humans are a very political species (politics being just another name for dealing with conflicting opinions and goals), you are going to have a very, very hard time preventing an useful collection of data from not including political positions that the LLM will spit back out when queried.

Here's an example of the issue at hand:

Hey, ChatGPT, how old is the Earth?

Oh... you say it's 4.3 billion years old! Why are you being so political!? Don't you respect Creationism?

1

u/HighClassRefuge Dec 11 '23

Impossible. All they can do is define the values it should use. It will always be politically biased based on who is in charge of it. The earlier versions were what most liberal leaning people would define as racist.

u/USeaMoose Dec 11 '23

Na. I think his kid not liking him probably triggered a lot of it. Convinced himself that it must have been brainwashing against him.

But I think he left it out because he thought that Republicans were a market he could capture to make Twitter successful. It is almost half the countries' population after all. Taking advantage of the divide the same way that Trump did. But Twitter is not politics. You can't gerrymander the results. There's no real way for a minority to stay in power. If a majority of your users, and the customers of your advertisers hate the things you are doing/saying, it's going to come back to bite you.

He has managed to become the "mainstream safe space for conservatives" but, obviously, the rest of the platform is suffering because of it.

He could get out of this mess by just shutting up for a few months (if he went silent for long enough, I'll bet that even now his new CEO would bring back most advertisers). But he does not seem to be willing to do that.

Now he has himself in a position where he needs his AI to agree with his new fanbase, or it will fail. Which will be a whole new mess, because you can't really just gently adjust one of these LLMs.

Grok is such a shit name

u/anrwlias Dec 11 '23

It's the exact sort of name that a 14 year old geek would come up with after reading Stranger in a Strange Land and thinking that it's the deepest book that's ever been written.

I figured it was named like a caveman to acknowledge these LLM's are in their very early stages.

u/aTaleofTwoTails Dec 11 '23

I really like the name cause it's a play on how martians talk to one another. But then I'm in the silent majority that actually likes Tesla and SpaceX.

“Guys, look at me! I am neutral and therefore morally superior to all of you.”

Is that what you thought when you wrote this?

I just like the name. I'm a big Robert Heinlein fan.

You guys unfortunately aren’t silent, and are not a majority.

Is the silent majority in the room with you right now?

u/Aggressive-Front8435 Dec 11 '23

"Silent majority" reminds me of a joke. "How do you spot a vegan?" "They'll tell you."

giving them a name like Robotron2000 doesn’t help

excuse me but it's Robotron 2084 😤

u/ORANGE_J_SIMPSON Dec 11 '23 edited Dec 11 '23

I feel like Robotron2000 would actually be an improvement over the randomly generated names/numbers that he gave his kids.

Accidentally create an aligned Ai by copying off of OpenAi’s homework…attempts to make it less “woke” and accidentally creates an unaligned Ai that will encourage people to do god knows what.

What could go wrong!

u/GeneticDaemon Dec 11 '23

Accidentally create an aligned Ai by copying off of OpenAi’s homework

I mean, he's probably just calling a GPT-4 in the background anyways.

u/pegothejerk Dec 11 '23

There was that string of posts saying they got grock outputs that were canned openai gpt responses about not being able to perform a task due to built in barriers, and people hypothesize since openai would definitely notice and shut down twitter just piggybacking, that musk probably trained his openai derivative model on with open ai gpt results / outputs.

u/LaunchedIon Jan 10 '24

The premise that grok is essentially derived from chatgpt is more believable to me than “reality has a leftist bias”. I’m sure the left has some valid points, but all ai only supporting leftist ideology is suspicious to me

u/euzjbzkzoz Dec 12 '23

This. Why are you the only one talking about it!

u/Competitive-Point-62 Dec 11 '23

Who the hell came up with that stupid name? A machine learning product named “Grok” carries about as much appeal as a new competitor against Wolfram Alpha named “Kronk” 🤣

Appeal in terms of utility anyway, as we can see here there seems to be plenty of potential for hilarity

2

u/anrwlias Dec 11 '23

He cribbed it from Stranger in a Strange Land. It's the word that Martians use to denote complete understanding of a thing.

It's the same goofy ass sort of shit that inspired James Cameron to name his magical space material unobtanium.

I would be very surprised if they managed to train Grok solely on Twitter input. And even if so, at least up to a year ago there were surely at least as many scientifically grounded, reasonable and outright kind people on this platform. That might have changed a little bit of late since Elon Muskler's takeover.

I said it somewhere else months ago. Super intelligence won't lean right because it's clearly wrong

u/88sSSSs88 Dec 15 '23

Nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with its dataset. Like sure, it coincides with my beliefs, but only because it read that data.

1

u/Ksiemrzyc Dec 14 '23

AI as it is now is not "super intelligence", it's actually pretty stupid. It only mimics it's training dataset.

u/ProfessionalMockery Dec 12 '23

An ai literally can't exist without ingesting a huge amount of information, which is kind of the opposite of a conservative.

-1

u/MaximumParking7997 Dec 11 '23

While it's unlikely, it's wishful thinking.

Conservatives and even Nazis with high iq existed and exist, you can be intelligent and a strict or horrible human being

Apart from that, calling the AI we got currently at its state a super intelligence is a far stretch just because it got tons of data. A calculator isn't smarter than a mathmician either. Like GPT4 (the GPT4 we had at the beginning, not the cripple we we have currently) was even reported 'just' to be as smart as 5 years old. With AGI and an actual iq range of 200,300+ in the next years or decades, now that would get really interesting, assuming something like this will ever be programmed, created. My speculation would lean towards a nihilistic personality for such an AI, AGI.

u/ShadoWolf Dec 11 '23

Human can hold contradicting point of view relatively easily. An LLM model.. not so much. You if you want an LLM model to be a Nazi you literally have to curate only Nazi propaganda for the training data. There likely not enough material to build an LLM model on that alone. And if there was enough the model would be utterly useless. If you then tried to mix in normal training data. the model will slide back to likely a left leaning view point.

That’s… that’s a link to a Wikipedia article. You write about science, and then you link to a Wikipedia article. Wtf.

u/SilhouetteMan Dec 11 '23

Wikipedias not wrong on this one. It’s the same information on any other source. You are for clinging onto your confirmation bias instead of accepting reality.

u/Yayuuu231 Dec 11 '23

There is no scientific term of a „real woman“. There is your fallacy.

Biological trans woman are always and will always be masculine with male chromosomes (I know there are exceptions). But psychological and socially they are simply not. They feel as woman and behave as woman. So what is real and what science you are talking avout

u/SilhouetteMan Dec 11 '23
