Even just a slap on the wrist this time?

The last half of that sentence isn’t much better either. My heart goes out to the poor weapons manufacturers with cut budgets.

I imagine that would result in him learning the phrase “might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb.”

Cheers, I’ll check it out tonight

There’s old.lemmy.world, and I only ever used Reddit through 3rd party apps and the one I used has a Lemmy app now. Close enough.

I grabbed the app from github and jumped in, then looked through all of the posts on the front page with comments. Crypto, Musk bootlickers, one post has the n word in the title. So what exactly is this? Is it just going to be Voat again?

My interest is not in the Reddit interface so that’s not a selling point, and frankly the first impression of the users is bad. Is there a sub/community/whatever you can point me to that’s worth participating in yet or should I give it a few months and see how it progresses?

I knew I recognised this guy. Is having tantrums like a fuckin toddler his only strategy?

I’d hoped my last line would convey I was being more light-hearted than pedantic.

No, certainly not. I’m just pointing out that with context this meme template means something very different to what it says on the surface.

Unless OP’s point is that LibreOffice is more functional but much, much worse for society while there are better options just off-screen, in which case fair enough and well played.

So… we supposed to be rooting for Homelander now?

I’m a few chapters into the Graphic Audio version of Words of Radiance by Sanderson, it’s pretty cool so far. There are a few voices that don’t fit the versions of characters in my head though, especially Jasnah. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

I’ve also started Daughter of the Dragon by Michael G Manning which came out last year and somehow completely flew under my radar. It’s book 2 of Wrath of the Stormking, which is a sequel series to Art of the Adept, which I really liked. It’s much better than his Mageborn series & related continuations IMO, but those grew on me a lot over time.

Finally, I’ve switched from Goodreads (which I haven’t really used in the past 2 years anyway) to The StoryGraph. Not much to say about that yet, it seems to be fine.

Until 65? Good luck with that.

👍

Nope, but your first two comments were about the headline and not the article which is why I assumed you hadn’t read any of it, and then you were saying they’re treating Grok as a source and not an LLM when they clearly called it a chatbot in the first sentence. I don’t have to comment on YOU bringing up critical approaches to LLM outputs when that’s not what any of this is about because you’re just moving the goalposts.

This just reads like Grok is any other source and not an LLM.

The article opens with “Elon Musk’s supposedly “anti-woke” chatbot”

I’m having trouble wording this in a way that doesn’t sound like I’m talking down to you, I can only promise you that that’s not my intent.

Headlines have always existed to get your attention, they’ve always been sensationalised and are frequently somewhat misleading about the substance of the article on the surface to evoke a reaction and get you to visit the website (or buy the newspaper/magazine). The author decided potential information about Trump being a Russian asset is more attention-grabbing than a meaningless story about a crap LLM designed to be crap by a crappy person turning out to be a piece of crap. If that bothers you then it’s a perfect example of why you shouldn’t get your news from headlines.

Nobody’s saying Grok is trustworthy. The article is about it being funny that it keeps saying shit that goes against the “anti-woke” bias it’s programmed to have.

Though this is obviously not the first time Trump has been accused of being a Putin puppet, and most certainly won’t be the last, it’s hilariously ironic that the chatbot funded by his alleged “co-president” is talking such deep smack.

There are multiple links to other times it’s happened too. It’s hardly an endorsement of Grok.

If only

Amazing. Like it starts on its own.

That’s the only one I don’t recognise. Who’s the artist?
